Aaaaaargh!!!! Can anyone remember what Azak said..?!!?!? :Oo

Well, he could be referring to this:

AzaK said:
True, although I was never sure if he meant either

- They think it's 2x the 360 (res, framerate etc) but still have to add effects. In this case it'd make it less. BTW I doubt this
- Or it already looks 2x as good but we haven't even added all the sexy stuff yet.

I took the later in my assumptions.

Another thing for reference, is that the Subscreen is about 44% of the area of a 1280x720 screen. If my assumptions are correct (And we know what they are the mother of) with regard to what he's saying, and a developer made the Subscreen a simple 2 poly, single flat shaded texture then that would give the main screen a considerable about of extra "grunt" to do more with.

Again, the whole 2x - 5x bullshit comes to mind. Render two screens at once = 2x as sexy looking. Render to the main screen with as much grunt as possible given to one screen and we get 5x.



Oh god yes, yes! Ever since I heard about the Subscreen I have been dreaming of this. If it can work in another room I would be a happy, happy man.



Basically in the end we'll get a range based on:

1) Developer skill and effort
2) Desire to have 1 or 2 screens
3) The level to which those screens have sexiness or just purely functional graphics.

I'm still going with 2GB based on what he said, but if not then 1.5 I imagine is the minimum.

Or, more likely, this:

And now that album cover finally makes sense - 40 years later.

You can be in the back with the rest of us, we get to watch those snobs die first. When the train enters the sun, we can enjoy a few more seconds of life, while watching them burn to death, screaming in beautiful agony.

Die? I prefer, 'taken to paradise.' Where paradise = GAF GOLD EXCLUSIVE WII U STOCKPILE OF 100% CORRECT INFORMATION

The only "paradise" we'll end up is the one where BurntPork is waiting. Also known as hell.

Hey, I've spent a total of two years there.
It's not so bad.
Well, besides the agonizing torture of not being able to post.
And the fact that the refresh is weird and doesn't load all posts.
And the fact that everyone forgets about you.

You guys will never forget me after I finish carving my name into your foreheads!
 
At this point, this would definitely have to be this thread's theme song.

Kinda curious now. Crytek guy suggested on twitter a big announcement from a partner at GDC. We have heard that Crytek has a Wii U thing behind closed doors. Could Nintendo maybe lift the veil?

Can't seem to find anything regarding that. Found something about a Durangomabob and swag, though. Could you be so kind as to link to said tweet if it still exists?

Tweet vanished very quickly. I Zdidnt screenshot it but I know one of the mods mentioned it in the gdc rumor thread so he might have
 
"Thunder Monkey" would be a pretty big name to carve into a head.

You run the risk of it healing up and the scar reading something like "tumber mopey" or "tinder moxey" or something completely different.

Then where would you be?

Seeing as how I can't find the thread, I'll just take your word for it. :P

Still say that this is a better theme song.

Nowai, song needs more oomph, more energy, more lyrics about out of control people on ecstasy burning up, shooting through the sky at the speed of light, and colliding into shit!

...I feel like watching Shaun of the Dead now.
 
IdeaMan said:
- Wat, i've never stated "it's 2gb, 100% sure", i said that, that, and that (the latter, in answer to that). Oh and lherre's that is really important to consider also for all this discussion about the Wii U memory.
Click to expand...

As I posted after your first post on this, I think it's clear you've been hinting at 1.5GB.
 
-Pyromaniac- said:
1.5 is hardly SURPRISING though.... 1gb goes without saying, no discussion, 1.5gb is possible, 2 seems like the surprising long shot at this point.

He said surprising for him, not surprising for all. He was expecting 1.

doesn't seem like that's what he said. He said " From what i know, i'm also pretty sure that it will not have just 1 GB."

If he was PRETTY sure...then why would he be surprised at 1.5...not like it's gonna be 1.25 or something.
 
Plinko said:

Click to expand...

to be honest, we all are/were expecting 1 GB so I don't see how +500MB would make someone go "Wow, this is surprising" even for him that has contacts and worked in the industry :P
if anything, he should be more surprise-proof than us.

It's subjetive anyway, I don't know him, so I don't know if the amount of ram is really big (for Nintendo standards) or he just is impressed too easily

edit: kinda beaten by -Pyromaniac-

I went through the top posters list and added some more people, along with those who PM'd me. Hopefully this fixes the "it's missing too many popular people" complaint. I know some people will still prefer the huge version but I like piling heaps of people into the one carriage :P

I also added Yamauchi as that was the most worthy addition from all the edits :P thanks amtentori

As for the ram amount, I think we can calm down a bit and just assumed 1.5 is what ideaman was referring to. He might have mean 2.0, but it's better to go with the lowest common denominator to temper our expectations.

I'm still in the camp that think we'll only get 1gb, but that's just because I don't want to get my hope to high up only to have my dreams squashed. 1.5gb would leave me pleasantly surprised and 2.0 would make me ecstatic.
