Sure, does the use of 3 GPUs on that, make it look far superior than, say, Mass Effect series?

To me it doesn't. Sure it looks better, but only slightly better. Looking way above Mass Effect is looking like Avatar, to me.
So, we're 20 years away from true next-gen, it seems.

Didn't they actually say it is going to launch with the system?

Not exactly. What they said was that it was due to be released in the Spring of 2012 around the same time they expect the Wii U to launch. If the Wii launches in the late Spring - it could be a launch title, or make that "launch window".

Speaking of facebook, the dsi had a feature where you could upload photos directly to facebook. With the 3ds this feature disappeared. I know Nintendo wants the 3ds to be all about 3d stuff like mpo 3d photos but each photo is also saved as a jpeg so why Nintendo removed the facebook upload for 2d versions of user photos is beyond me. I used that feature on the dsi all the time, so much easier than taking out the sd card.
They removed it because you can use the browser to do it. I took and uploaded my FB pics directly from the 3DS: the "select file" button will bring up the photo viewer and you can pick a photo for upload. This works on any website that uses standard HTML file uploading: flickr, tinypic, 3D porch, etc.

Wait for next years E3, there's bound to be some sexy Nintendo games shown.

Actually Capcom just said they might have something at TGS, and since it's right around that time, Nintendo should have their Fall Conference showcasing it as well.

Last FC showed a few new 3DS games, like BlazBlue CSII, first showed Bomberman (:(), got proper footage of a number of games like SSFIV, etc.

Hopefully September will be a good month for Wii U info and media.

From the other thread (as pointed out by DaSorcerer7)



Straight from Epic's mouth, the exact same thing I (and many rational people) have been saying for a while now.


Vindicated. Hopefully the rest of GAF will shut the fuck up now about Samaritan on next gen consoles.
 
Cmd. Pishad'aç said:
Why is it necessary a beast of a computer to run Samaritan ?

Sure it looks good, but it doesn't look miles better, like way up there in the next gen...

Diminishing returns. There is also a problem with developing software tools and making teams that can take full advantage of the technology we do have. With the technology used for the Samaritan video, we may be able to eventually be able to affordably get performance well beyond that demo. We are just not even close to that yet. Even now, developers are still learning more on how to take advantage of the 5+ year technology in the 360/PS3.
 
Sorry to jump back a few pages, but I find downloadable GC games just TOO interesting.

I know that the original CC controller has analog click shoulder buttons and the CCPro doesn't, but what about the WiiU controller itself? Does that have 'em? Or, since its not yet released, think they may be implemented. Gamecube compatible controller right in the box.

Also, about them being called WiiWare instead of VC games, perhaps its because they would be upgraded native running ports instead of virtual games (emulated ROMs). By this I mean, not only updated resolution, but also additional control schemes etc.

For instance, F-Zero GX gets re-released. HD resolutions. A control scheme that uses the remote and nunchuck that allows twisting the remote for fine control over banking. Maybe a new track, racer, difficulty level or two. Some of that is maybe a little far fetched.

Anyway, they would have those little compatible controller icons describing what controllers work with the game. The silhouettes of the CC and CCPro are distinct enough to avoid confusion I suppose. CCPro would be missing from games that need analogue triggers.

Also, clickable thumb sticks must die in a raging fire.

God you are stupid. 2013 = now? Gamestop even says 2014.

PS4 and X720 are coming out in 2013 at the *absolute latest*. They will have picked out their approximate part targets by 2012 at the *absolute latest*.

The technology in GPUs is not going to accelerate or even change very much, if at all, by 2012, let alone 2013. Who's stupid?

Why are those juniors not banned for insulting pple???weid....

Luckyman has evaded the banhammer somehow for a long time, especially considering his hit-and-run nature. It would be cool if it were funny, but Luckyman is no drohne.

It would be nice if he would back up his trolling with facts.

If the technology is available at that time, albeit at high cost, they could still do it and sell the console at a big loss, like Sony did with the PS3 at the onset of this generation. Of course, I doubt they would do that again in such scale, but a smaller loss would probably be feasible, if not needed if they are to sell the console >1 year after the launch of Wii U to be competitive. Anyway, it's all speculation so who knows, really. :P

What? Is that bannable? I thought that guy was banned because he responded to himself with that image. Then some one guessed that he forgot to switch to his alt account. THEN the thread got real good.

I'm pretty sure it's bannable when it's used to dismiss someone's post not bannable in general e.g. if used in a funny way etc. I'm pretty sure it's the same story with cool story bro and the rest of the dismissal memes.

I think farnham once got banned saying that in anime thread, though not sure?

I'm stupid for not considering it all that important in the big scheme of things, I guess... *shrugs*

The weakest consoles have won out in the past few generations. The public at large agrees with you. But this is NeoGAF.
 
Wii U got lucky that this gen core gamers split into two systems and hence almost everygame went multiplat. I think its mucc easier to convince previous owners of ps3/360 to play on a Wii U if it gets proper support than if it was only a ps3/360. If price is right(<299) and it comes with a workable online and graphics, Next gen I believe Wii U will sell more than HD consoles combined for all of its life.

Lol? The HD consoles combined have sold around 105 million units so far and that rate is increasing with at least two years left till their successors come out. I doubt the Wii will ever reach 105 million never mind Wii U which I doubt anyone anticipates will be as successful as the Wii.

I have no reason to believe the Wii U will be more or less successful than the Wii at the moment. Not sure why anyone would given how little we know.

None of the next gen consoles will be as successful as the Wii. Wii was a perfect storm that will be incredibly hard to replicate again.

The iPad and mobile games are what the Wii crowd are playing now, they've moved on.

I wasn't dismissing the the post. It just came across as him being mad due to the first sentence, which I found funny.

There is no "Wii crowd" - pretty much everyone who ever wanted to own a game machine has purchased one, give or take 20 million people worldwide. Just as there is no "PS2" crowd or "DS" crowd. It was simply the console with the widest appeal to the most people this generation.

Anything coming out in mid 2013 to end 2013 is going to be based on tech at the LATEST of mid 2012. Seeing as how AMD and Nvidia's next chipset designs, and the die shrinking have both been pushed back to 2013/2014, they're not going to be in the PS4/720.

We both know that though, and we both know you're just a troll who runs in and out of Wii-U threads to start shit. How you've managed to survive this long with out a ban baffles me.

You are no where's near as good as GAF's allowed trolls.

I feel sorry for you really.

thats not true

the demographics are quite different.

Your second sentence, I agree with. Remarkably, neither I nor it agree with your first.

Wow, you have no idea what you're talking about. MS used an R500/R600 hybrid GPU that used the latest tech AMD had at the time. The Xenos was the first unified shader architecture GPU for a year. Even Sony used the latest GPU tech nvidia had as they were originally meant to launch in 2005.

Whatever GPUs MS and Sony decide to use, they'll be the latest designs AMD/nvidia have available with customisations from future GPUs.

I'm not denying that, but its also the console that collects more dust or was traded/ sold off by the now jaded old Nintendo fanboy who felt ignored by Nintendo.

the Wii was a trend with a neat hook. The "neatness" has worn off and the bulk of that consumer base has moved on.

That old Nintendo fanboy in me wants to see nintendo succeed and deliver on their Wii U promises to us core gamers but the realist/skeptic in me knows better.

How do you propose they do that?

Both MS and Sony can not afford to go that route again. They have both lost billions in their adventure.

Using the latest architecture has no effect on costs. In fact it should lower costs as newer architectures will deliver what you want using less.

MS and Sony marketing monkeys and e-penis competitors will be tricked by AMD again.
