Just saying, no one is gonna care about 2011 titles by the end of the year.
Get some of the good 2012 stuff, and at like $50, and you're gold.
 
That CARS game looks pretty sexy. If Nintendo could have it running at 1080p at E3 while the competition is chugging along at 720p, that would make Wii U look real good.

Wii U should get the Skyrim GOTY
glitch free
edition.

i dont think that's even possible...

Why should WiiU titles be priced lower than last gen PS360 titles?
And why should they wait to get these titles near end 2012 or begin 2013?
I suppose you assuming a late November launch...

I was also considering if Nintendo would launch 3rd QTR.
 
So glad to see CARS coming.
Similar to what has been stated, Nintendo need to get a showreel going that's running on wiiu hardware and that will be a huge core gaming plus.
That alone will have me in the queue launch day.
 
Isn't the Upad with accelerometers and gyro enough? The Wiimote was pretty good for racers. Many people dismiss it as 'waggle' but that's really only true for games that give the impression to use the Wiimote as a 1:1 clone for a magic wand, sword or tennis racket. It doesn't have less accuracy than an analogue for racers...

Without proper force feed back, it's not nearly as good for racing sims.
 
I imagine the chance of that happening is about the same as a white ball of frozen ice surviving in satan's backyard.
The probability of the Wii U using the DX10.1 GPU in the devkit in actual units sold to people is roughly the same though. If they're going to replace it, it would make no sense whatsoever not to include a DX11 one, or at least one that has a tesselator (which really is almost all that matters) similar to the Northern or Southern Islands chips.
 
It's fairly funny to think about it but the thing I'm most excited about for the Wii U isn't the games or what is under the hood.

I'm curious to see how they follow up the amazing suite of random 3DS apps!

I'm serious here. Find Mii is still my favorite launch game and I've spent more time fucking around with the sound program then I'd care to admit.

I don't know if the game is legit or not, which is why I'm not even saying anything just yet. If it is indeed real, it's purportedly being developed for Wii U, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 (with the possibilities expanding to PC, 3DS, and PS Vita).

Sometimes you put up rumor that you've heard floating around and it turns out true: you look great for being the first source on the subject.

Sometimes you put up a rumor and it turns out false: you look like you wasted your time and just got peoples' hopes up.

I've been digging a lot for this game before saying more on it, because I'd like to "know" it's real before sharing it. No official word leaves me a little skeptical, but there are some things that add up fairly well that make me think it's a possibility.

I'll give it a couple of days and go with whatever the popular opinion is. That being said, if this would be a Wii U exclusive (though it's looking to be multiplatform), it'd sure be one helluva good game!

just post it, anyone who can read the english language will understand that a rumour is a rumour, I still want to know. I just like seeing if things turn out to be right.

...but there are plenty of people at the same time that hate being misled in the slightest. I'm excited and wish to share it with all of you. It'd be awesome if it was true too, but regardless, just talking with fellow gamers about the cool possibilities of such a game would be a lot of fun. It's so brilliant that I hope it's true. I contacted Rocksteady, but didn't get a confirmation or denial which is to be expected.

Well you know, I'm not sure if I want this rumor or not but I'll let you decide.

A) Should I tell you if I want to read about this rumor?
B) Should I not tell you if I want to read about this rumor?

In any case, my answer might change the current debate. You have 6 votes in favor of revealing the rumor but what if I was against, how would that influence things? Choose wisely because I also couldn't decide and this decision might have further implications for us as a species.
 
Posting threads for Paul Gale articles is banned

As long as it's not more Batman.
I love the Batman universe for cartoons, but the games leave something to be desired.

Haha, I thought I'd be all Batmanned out after AC but I can't wait for the next one, they're so good with that mythos
 
I say go for it. If you're right, we'll look back and say "hey, Paul was right after all!", if wrong, we'll know that you stressed its uncertainty, that's what matters, that you're not lying to us, you know it can go either way. :)

I wonder if its Superman? I have no clue what to expect otherwise.
 
Post the rumor, but call it a fake rumor report. If it comes true, the good. If not, then no one will care because it was fake anyways.

Usually in video game journalism, you just put up what you want...what you think is right and go with it. I've learned over the years that the internet is a very mixed bag; a very divided and diverse place filled with countless amounts of opinions. I'm giving this one to the community to decide and will go with the majority vote.

You not choosing an answer just puts you in the safe, neutral category and that's totally ok. I certainly understand those that would not want a rumor unless there's truth behind it, because they'll just be disappointed if they find it to be fake in the end. But I also understand the gamer that will still be humored by the thought of a rumor, enjoy speculating on it, and not fret one way or another, because he or she understands the word "rumor" and doesn't live/devote his/her whole life to the story's existence.

I like being in touch with the community at large out there. And I know I'll never please everyone, and that's fine. My goal is to just show that I'm listening to what you want. :)

you're just making me want to know what it is even more lol, PM ME the details :P
 
if its going to be a superhero, i think Spiderman would make sense

There's already a Spiderman game in devleopment by whatever Activision's Spidey studio is.

I wish someone would make a good Iron Man game, but I don't know how that would really work.

If this turns out true, it'd be pretty awesome. I put up the story on Retro Studios almost a year ago and just in the recent weeks, we're hearing other reports from media outlets about the possibilities of their next game. I got the scoop on Title Fight, many months ago and was just able to put it up this past October. In time, you'll be able to use your own quote:
"hey, Paul was right after all!" for that game.

With the good come a couple of bad, like the "RUMOR" of Hideo Kojima's game. My source provided me with accurate information on Kojima talking about Metal Gear Solid 5's possibility at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show, before other outlets got the source...but going with my source's source proved to be quite a controversial story. I said it was a rumor but that wasn't good enough, as some people still cried like babies (pun intended).

It's why I'm being mindful of your wishes and I do appreciate all of your responses, too, so thank you!
 
Oh, speaking of which Paul.
When is that Wii U story going up?

...but it's not the one I was referring to in my article from a few weeks back. That title is a Wii U/3DS game and I'm still working on it. Hopefully before the end of the month I'll have something. In all likelihood, you'll hear about the Rocksteady "rumored project" before the Wii U/3DS one.

Didn't Kojima say Peace Walker was, for all intents and purposes, MGS5?

I agree, Find Mii and Puzzle Swap are great, and some of the AR games are addictive. I hope the Wii-U gets these types of games built-in.
 
Lets say the WiiU's BOM is $299
Whats the better move?

Sell the WiiU at a loss at $249
Or a profit at $349?

being it ninty, i'd say 349 for profit, they never sell h/w at a loss which means less than modern tech and consumers lose
