This "transitional generation" suck for every console maker...

But as long as Nintendo provides great 1st and 2nd party support, i wont complain about anything :)

And as long as asshats that think "MORE POWAH = MORE $$$" rule the industry, it'll only get worse...
 
A fourth thread?? What is the sum of all visits of the first to fourth thread till now?

HOLY FUCKING CRAP!!!

400 + 400 + 400 PAGES. 20'000 posts PER THREAD for a total of 60'000!!!!

INSANE!!!

Aww.. that issue will take care of itself. Equilibrium will be found. I'm not too concerned.

Pretty good. Some speculation, but they didn't go overboard and mostly stuck with known quantities, I guess. It's still a good reality check about just how little we really are confirmed to know.

That lack of information is what fuels these threads in the first place. I don't think I've looked forward to a Nintendo E3 conference this much in quite some time.

Yeah, I don't get either why Nintendo chose leave the pointer controlled by MotionPlus in SS, it's annoying having to recalibrate the thing every 10 mins. the IR would be perfect for pointing, leaving MotionPlus only to control the sword.

It wasn't even that hard to recalibrate...just press down on the d-pad and success. I actually enjoyed not having to use the pointer/

But MotionPlus is so clunky as a pointer compared to the IR sensor. Seriously, it was painful just choosing your file in Skyward Sword, like you had to move it 3x what you normally would to get the cursor to move down the the OK button. The IR pointer is great, I'm not sure why they had to try to shoehorn MotionPlus into EVERY freaking piece of that game. The menu? Come on.
Click to expand...

Exactly. TP's pointer controls beat out anything in SS. Actually aiming at the object on screen makes perfect sense, whereas "feeling it out" with the motion controls is not at all intuitive. Not sure why they did that. :/

I dont mind the way SS uses the sensors it just works, but i would prefer if they combined both the ir and the sensors....i still hope they include a wii motion plus in the package, that's they way to ensure that the cod's and the likes give support to it. I dont want dual analog crappiness...

They used WM+ because they need some sort of screen to recaliberate with the sensor bar. Why not just build it into existing menus? Seems fine to me.

That actually sounds pretty great to me. Back when I had a Gyration mouse, you had to calibrate it several times per minute -- pretty much as you went!

Then we have Team Ninja's Fumihiko Yasuda and Yosuke Hayashi who told us that Wii U is "very easy to develop for... we're finding it very similar to develop for Wii U as for Xbox 360 and PS3." In other words, this machine is current-gen-plus, not a powerhouse destined to blow away anything currently available.
Click to expand...

Does this mean that next-gen consoles will be incredibly difficult to develop for?

Also, has there been a single reliable rumor pointing to 768MB of RAM?

I think everything under 1 GB thus far has been speculation. Then again, there haven't been many memory rumours at all that didn't come from this forum.

No, it means the dude responsible for the article has no idea what he's writing about. There's no immediate relation between performance and ease of development.

Yeah, no kidding. I bet the 768MB kits comment was pulled out of his ass too. Same goes for the quad-core part (unfortunately). Nothing here but speculation and some wild guesses.

True, but two different confirmed people said 1GB. I guess we can't blame CVG for not knowing that, but at the same time they really don't have anything to support that speculation either. All they can say is, "it has more RAM than current consoles."

A bit harsh there mate lol

I'm one of the few people that at the time of launch thought that the first Red Steel game was good. It wasn't perfect by any means, the FPS controls were poorly designed (but that went on for all FPS games until Prime 3 was released), but the swordplay worked fine imo. Ubisoft have come out with some bloody terrible Wii games but they've also brought a bit of quality to the Wii too - the Raving Rabbids franchise has been good, as has Red Steel 2 and the Shaun White franchise (as long as you have a Balance Board).

Freaks is the title I've been looking forward to the most, it has some decent humour to it, is set in London, has an English protagonist, has mutant killer Raving Rabbids as enemies and, most importantly, has a multiplayer mode that isn't your bog standard Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag and Hoard (although I'm hoping they also include all of these all the same). And it's probably run on the LyN engine, which is a tasty piece of kit so it should look good.

Unfortunately a 5-8 hour long single player campaign is pretty standard these days but who knows, it may clock in over that or at least have some sort of replay value.

Thanks for the link. But sounds like they wasted their time. This part was particularly head scratching.

The Wii U is almost certainly running on a quad-core 3GHz PowerPC-based 45nm CPU. Early whispers that it'll have 768MB of DRAM embedded within the CPU and shared with an unknown AMD-based GPU (not ATI, as per the original Japanese developer quotes) have been all but debunked; by comparison the Xbox 360 has just 10MB of embedded DRAM, and a colosso-chip of the size suggested would likely require a console casing as big as your sofa. Nintendo are currently testing two versions of the console for development purposes - one with 768MB of memory (compared with the 360's 512MB) and another with 1GB, as they attempt to find that sweet spot between power and cost.

Apparently they don't realize that all the bolded was the same rumor with the part that's also underlined, or I'm just not understanding what they are saying.

Your problem is you're actually taking it seriously. Of course I stopped paying attention to any spec talk until E3.

Hrm. I thought that the controls in CoD3 felt a lot more natural (except for dumb "SHAKE EVERYTHING!" QTE moments and any time that you looked up and the world started rapidly spinning). There was also the issue of a bug where the remote speaker (or was it the rumble?) occasionally glitched the aiming in the game. The still image cutscenes could have been a stylistic choice but felt to me like a saving money choice. The sword stuff wasn't bad, but we were all caught up in the "oooh, one-to-one lightsaber!" fever that it was hard to avoid being disappointed in the rhythm minigame we ended up getting.

I got a few levels in. It was not terrible, but it did not live up to its promise, and it certainly should have been more well rounded to deserve the million-plus sales it got.

With first person shooters, all I really need are:
A) At least three person split-screen multiplayer
B) The option to use a classic controller (because my friends are incredibly resistant to change)
C) [preferred but not absolutely required] The option to use a Wii remote and nunchuk (because that's my preferred control method)
D) A competent level creator

Not much to ask for here. Frankly, I'm shocked that only one fps game from last gen that I can think of satisfied three of those points and none satisfied all.

But anyway, with regard to KFfOS, I remain cautiously… cautious.

Well, the author seemingly didn't even know that AMD and ATI are the same company...
 
So, Nintendo isn't coming to Gamescom...

Ehh, I don't believe we'll get any info until E3.

I'm out of here (with a dedicated gif for this occasion).

768MB eDRAM on the cpu die is a bit different than 768MB memory in the system. One is an impossibly high achievement to consider sensible, the other is laughably unambitious.

Games like this will never happen...again. Sadly.
I really do enjoy me some at home with friends multiplayer.
 
Odds of Dragon Quest X being a Wii U launch title in the west?

Or at least released during the first couple of months?
