    nintendo conference was really disappointing, that remote looks like ****.... like playing on an ipad....

    From my POV sony had the best showing, vita looks really great (And i dont normally like handhelds) and even tho we already knew about most of the PS3 exclusives they were the best on offer. Dust looks very interesting and starhawk will be great.

    Looking forward to see some darksouls stuff.

    Apparently Reggie has said in an interview with GTTV that the third party preview videos shown at the Nintendo conference were the 360 and PS3 versions and not from the Wii U, but that the Wii U versions will look the same or better.

    really... i wouldn't care if its graphical power was on par with a good gaming PC, that controller is a deal breaker for me, much like the wii. Maybe it'll play better than it looks.. not getting my hopes up.

    Don't see the problem with the controller? It's dual analogue classic design with a screen in the middle. Knowing nintendo it will be very comfy to use.

    i thought it looked a bit naff at first, but i saw a clip on youtube of a guy using it and.. it actually looks alright

    my dissapointment is lessening the further I get from the nintendo conference.. now i'm just... curious


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,682 ✭✭✭LookingFor


    Biggest question I have about Wii U is if it's going to be able to play next-gen stuff.

    I don't mean PS3 and 360 stuff. I mean PS4 and 720 stuff. All the third parties so far seem content to just port PS3/360 games to it, Nintendo doesn't seem to be starting a new generation of games on that end.

    If it can't get the next generation's content too, we could end up in familiar territory again.

    I suppose this isn't a question we can answer until MS and Sony show their next systems.

    Hosts are idiots.Think that's just a part of what Bethesda will be showing sometime else.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    hrm, so when everyone heard 30.. they actually meant 13?

    One of my concerns now is there will be no local multiplayer.

    Wii U will only come with one controller. You will not be able to buy more - one controller, one machine.

    highlight for me was the asian woman ( Naoko Takamoto I think, lead producer of dance central 2) that was on the Microsoft conference and the gametrailers stream at the end tonight dancing w/ dance central. I think I'm in love.

    While I'm a little disappointed by the tech side of stuff it seems to be for different reasons to other people. The WiiU does what Sony hinted the PSP would do with the PSP years ago so it's hardly new. That said, it could work out very, very well depending on support.
    Similar with the splitscreen without splitscreen. I remember about 18 months ago I think Sharp were waffling about a TV which would shown different pictures depending on the angle of the viewer, so the glasses are a step back somewhat. Also there's the fact that really any console should be capable of doing the same thing once the TV is up to it.

    While i really want to punch those hosts in the face, the game looks freakin amazing. Everything from the engine, to the skill tree looks fantastic. I can't wait to see what it looks like on a high end pc.

    Also, magic looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

    I just read some reviews from the WiiU and apparently it doesn't look so bad.

    Extremely light controller, fits perfectly in the hands, the controls work very good and the games look brilliant.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,186 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Have they actually shown many games?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,445 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Pikmin 3 has been revealed for the WiiU. Can't wait for that game, the first two are underappreciated classics.

    Also the new Devil May Cry looks awful. Even worse is Ninja Gaiden 3. What the **** is up with the QTE combat?

    I think the multi plats look a fair bit worse and personally thought the tech demo looked like the CG you see in a PS1 game.

    Turns out the footage shown was of 360 and PS3 versions and not running on WiiU.


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    I'm slightly curious about the Wii U. I hope the likes of Smyths/GAME have some demo's in store to try before I decide to take the plunge and buy it.

    I'm very much looking forward to a new Super Smash Bros and Luigi's Mansion 2 is gonna be great. Seriously can't wait for those two to land onto the 3DS.

    Yeah my eyes are just to used to vastly superior PC graphics!

    Still curious to see the specs of the WiiU, supposedly it's a HD5770 (evergreen) which is a decent mid-level graphics card that is capable of DX11. It's speed really depends how much stream processor the version in the WiiU has though.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,518 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    Well the PS360 is about 200 GFLOPS while the standard 5770 is 1.3TFLOPS. That's quite the performance difference.
