I just want to know three things:
- what's the framerate? 30, but steady?
- resolution? 720P? guess so.
- anti aliassing? good? did they kill most of the jaggies?

[hateradio]

I guess it's nice to have the ability to click on what power you have.

Looks like FXAA in the screenshots, which the game uses natively.

[Synless]

And then they'd get sued by Microsoft...excellent business decision.

Why would they get sued?

Seconded. That distinctive blur.

- what's the framerate? 30, but steady?

Steady? Lol is there such a thing nowadays? my guess is 19-27 fps in heavy fire fights with lots of tearing. That way I hope I don't set me up for disappointment :P

okay thanx. i can't find screens that i can see shit on right now.. or trust.

maybe.. on Wii-U. I can hope, right?

[Jaded Alyx]

Microsoft published the first ME and withhold the rights to it, which is why it was never released on PS3.

Is it this bad on the other consoles? (I played the PC version)

[Synless]

I thought that was just a temporary thing. They couldn't own those rights forever? Could they? I mean, it's Biowares franchise.

[toadster101]

Sort of want.

People (trolls) on GameFAQs are actually saying this looks worse than the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.

[jmizzal]

Weird none of the new DLC was announced for Wii U.

The new ending was announced for WiiU a few weeks ago, im pretty sure it will have the new DLC too since that comes out this summer. Batman WiiU will have all the DLC packed in but hey thats WB and this is EA.

[RazielCuts]

'Here are pivotal moments in the storytelling of our past two games that we've put into a nice checklist that we're asking you to make without any pre existing knowledge of the characters or the situations, GO!'

[Replicant]

That'll make it sting less when the game says "fuck it" at the end and the teammates leave Shepard at the end anyway.

Yeah, *bleep* those #JUDAS

It's 30 for the cinematics and 60 during gameplay, as said in the digital foundry article here: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...s-wiiu-e3-2012

I guarantee you Digital Foundry's assessment of framerate from the sizzle reel is flat out wrong.

that's pretty amazing if true. Freaking amazing even

[SquiddyCracker]

Kudos to them for not releasing the game as is without taking into account that the story of ME1+2 is unavailable on the Wii U.

[Fredrik]

Is it this bad on the other consoles? (I played the PC version)

Hard to say without a counter, maybe not quite that bad, but it's far from smooth anyway, and WiiU version is a port so I guess the performance will take a hit by default + it's also new hardware.

[Zeer0id]

I liked the ME1 comic thing, nice to see ME2 getting the same treatment for Wii U. Who knows, I might even double dip.

[GMN]

at least when the PS3 skipped ME1 it was better off

[shinra-bansho]

They need to have the interactive story generator for the other versions.

It's stupid to not be able to start a new game with different options.

[Replicant]

at least when the PS3 skipped ME1 it was better off

That's because the decisions you didn't make on ME1 has no bearing whatsoever on the ending of ME3. But any decision you didn't make on ME2 will effectively fucks up the fate of your crew.

[APZonerunner]

Bioware own the franchise, but Microsoft published that first game. They retain publishing rights, including for any subsequent ports. If Bioware wanted to outright remake the game from the ground up they could legally do that, though.

Lmao not surprised. The wii u could run the new dawn demo and people would still say that the xbox 360 and ps3 look better

[RionaaM]

Well, since those are the same people who said the PS360 versions of Ninja Gaiden 3 and Darksiders 2 looked worse than the PS360 versions, I wouldn't take it too seriously.

[Fredrik]

How so? ME1 is awesome, much deeper RPG elements and lots of neat little touches that made it a much more unique experience imo. ME2 was a better shooter though.

How long til devs point to ME3 on WiiU as proof that hardcore 3rd party titles don't sell on the system?

Before the year is out.

You realize bullshit comments like this is why so many franchises are turning into shitty clones of either COD or Gears, right?

[crazy monkey]

Wiimote + nunchk method should have been there as a option. I hope it is.

[Sajuuk]

Refresh my memory what was the deeper rpg elements in me1? Stats?

[rozay]

Refresh my memory what was the deeper rpg elements in me1? Stats?

having more than 2 dialogue options in every conversation and having different ways to get through a mission depending on conversations/actions (for example, Noveria)

Ultimately none of it mattered because ME3 dropped the ball so hard, but it was neat before it released.

[TheChaos]

That's because the decisions you didn't make on ME1 has no bearing whatsoever on the ending of ME3. But any decision you didn't make on ME2 will effectively fucks up the fate of your crew.

Seriously, Wrex was the ONLY thing in ME1 that changes your outcome in ME3. Everything else? LOL, nope.

[Pop-O-Matic]

Having levels that were more than just a friggin' corridor.

[rozay]

Having levels that were more than just a friggin' corridor.

I wouldn't call ME1 the pinnacle of level design, but it was disappointing that for all the talk of making bigger levels in ME3, they still ended up being really linear and made little use of ladders or multiple floors.

[Bisnic]

Seriously, Wrex was the ONLY thing in ME1 that changes your outcome in ME3. Everything else? LOL, nope.

Apparently you forgot about Ashley and Kaidan. And some minor characters like Kirrahe.

[rozay]

Apparently you forgot about Ashley and Kaidan. And some minor characters like Kirrahe.

The two most irrelevant squad members in ME3 aren't good support for the argument though. Shame on Bioware for cutting their story relevance and dialogue so far back to make the deadline.

[Schweinehund]

Surprised they aren't making ME2 for the system. Unless Nintendo is forcing them to, I don't think pad features are even close to necessary.

[TheChaos]

Apparently you forgot about Ashley and Kaidan. And some minor characters like Kirrahe.

They serve the exact same story purpose, picking one over the other makes no difference other than getting the Reave ability, whee.

[Criminal Upper]

Ehh okay, it's like the radar function from ME1. They can get points for that from me.

Yeah.

We're all so happy you approve.

[Diddy Kong]

I think I might get it.

[rozay]

Yeah. We're all so happy you approve.

I'm glad you appreciate my commentary on useful features that were taken out of ME2 and ME3 on other consoles after a picture showcasing it was posted?

I mean, this is a discussion board after all.

[ED Cantu]

Sort of want. People (trolls) on GameFAQs are actually saying this looks worse than the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.

It seems there will always be people doing this with each multi-console game, hopefully they will get tired at some point.

Sort of want too.

[majik13]

I loved ME1, until I just got bogged down by the menu and items, so tedious, and horribly implemented. I couldn't make myself finish, even though i really enjoyed the rest.

never played ME2 or ME3

[Bisnic]

Same with Wrex and Wreav, yet you counted Wrex as being a ME1 choice that change your outcome in ME3? I mean you still cure or sabotage the Genophage, no matter who you got.

[Currygan]

I...might be interested in this

[The Bookerman]

Tell that to the people who want goldeneye on Xbox live arcade.

[GMN]

i'd rather have a shitty clone than an action RPG that sucks at action while having a poor interface to boot. shame Wii U owners will miss ME2, though

[lunchwithyuzo]

It'll sell like ME2 did on PS3. Next to nothing.

[TheChaos]

If Wrex is dead, you can convince Mordin to walk away without shooting him.
