Wii U Speculation Thread The Third: Casting Dreams in The Castle of Miyamoto

Holy crap! I just found out about this amazing third thread, and it's now 16 pages full already?! You guys are insane! Something must have come up today that led to this, right?

sony is all about bleeding edge. The thought of them pulling a wii seems so.... wrong.

More or less my estimation as well. Sony will most likely launch last, and the PS4's power will be relative to what we get in the xbox3. Sony will want the most powerful box but probably wont bother shooting for some crazy behemoth again if MS doesn't. At most, I think MS might go for some split pool of 3GB of ram or just settle on 2GB of GDDR5, something comparable to the HD 7770, and an OoO quad core IBM cpu. If sony shoots too much farther than that, I think they're liable to spend themselves to death.

All we got were some rumored leaks pointing to UE3.9 and UE4 on Wii U.
UE4 AND 8GB RAM CONFIRMED FOR WII U

Theres barely 10 games from the last few months that had insane hype levels, I would like to know which games from the last few months that had insane hype levels that fit your beige shooter comment.

Well, I was mainly referring to MW3 and BF3, well, MW3 moreso, which had a large hype build up and viral campaign, and then just kinda fizzled out, well, I guess rightfully so as it was pretty much retail DLC. (SMG2 was as well, but it could be done good if they put time into it, take notes Infinity Ward, getting off my tangent now).

So despite what you said 2 games do represent the entirety of western production.
 
Hmm why am I not surprised haha. Anyway, UE4 should be scalable to Wii U at the very least; I don't see why it shouldn't be. And there's such thing as UE3.9? Sounds like a waste of number.

Never implied that, I said that they represent the majority, which when you look at the number of shooters and compare them, it's moreorless correct, with a little bit of generalisation.

In my opinion, Bethesda, Valve, WayForward, Rockstar, Quantic Dream and some others that I can't think to list right now are some of the only good western studios.

This kinda deserves to be in the flame shield thread, so I'mma jump back on topic now.
 
I am really amazed at this thread. Where's the cryo-chamber until Nintendo releases the official skinny on the Wii U?

I'm gunna go out on a limb and say UE3.9 is the development codename for UE4, it kinda makes sense and I've seen a few companies do this (SMG2 was called "More Super Mario Galaxy" or "Super Mario Galaxy 1.5" in development).

It's probably a near complete product, maybe missing some shading or lighting stuff or some tessellation technologies maybe, Iunno.

Just so we have a source for the unreal 3.9 number:

Mark Rein on Samaritan said:
At the end of the day, though, this isn’t Unreal 4. It’s still definitely Unreal 3, Rein was quick to clarify. He added, however, that if this were to be given a number, it’d be Unreal 3.975. He also noted that this is a bigger leap than the one between Unreal 2 and Unreal 3 – and it shows. On top of that, it’s versatile as all get-out.

Didn't Master Chief take it?

When do they announce E3 conference dates? It's very important to me because I have final exams that week :'(

EDIT:
Ok so UE3.9 is still really UE4 minus some flashy stuff, if one looks at it this way. Not bad then.

You saaid the rest were mainly washed out beige shooters, even if that was the case(which it isn't you get maybe 2 or 3 a year) it doesn't automatically make them bad games. I just didn't see the reason for randomly bashing western developers in a thread that is supposedly about WiiU speculation.

I guess it really should have been retitled to general nintendo fan spam thread and moved into community by now.

Just wait.. we're going to see rumors that the U is newly 3.91-enabled a few weeks from now. The long, slow rumor slog will continue, until it is ultimately revealed that the Wii U is .03 short of UE4.0 .

(sounds like something out of Hitchhiker's Guide, now that I re-read it..)
 
The Wii U better have a World War 2 U-boat simulator.

World War 2 = WWII

WWII U-Boat simulator.

Suddenly, the name makes sense.

I'll be content, as long as this UE3.97 and other equivalent engines show distinguishable graphics compared to 360/PS3 graphics.
Ultimately, though, the fact that Nintendo now has a ton of power at their disposal to create games is what excites me the most, because we've never seen HD Nintendo games.

Indeed I did say "the rest" were, and while that may have been a bit of an exaggeration, we're all entitled to opinions, no matter how inflammatory.

lol oh you
 
Epic say that UE4 will used mainly by next gen systems, every other system outside of the range should use UE3. From that standpoint it doesn´t makes sense of talking about a scaled down version of UE4, because in that case you should use just UE3.
 
If Epic have to scale down UE4 to fit on Wii U (which I'd imagine wouldn't be so necessary) they'd probably just get rid of the flashy bells like the "ooh, look at how this one wrinkle is more defined than the other 28934592975." I don't think it'd be a case where they'd skip the system entirely.

I wish I could go back in time to import one of these I would not play it
I just want on as a center piece of my gaming history

I don't even want an NES just an orange cube would do
 
Only now i can see all those WiiU threads are basically E3 hype threads.

And they´re going on since last E3.

Ive seen a lot on Gaf, but im really impressed this time
 
I once read a news story where a Twilight fan threw acid in someone's face after them saying they didn't like the series (IIRC), now THAT is scary.
 
I miss the days when video game consoles looked like video game consoles, not external DVD drives, modems, routers, or any other boxy structure.*

Who in Nintendo was responsible for this design? I'd like to shake their hand.




*GameCube gets a special pass because, well, it really looks like a game console.
 
Im scared that when I finally go to sleep and I see this thread it will be +10 pages and itll take me forever to go through :p (random >_>)
