Sleeping Dogs was $10 on steam over the weekend...

Poor Wii U

bequietdrive · Jan 30, 2013

If it is Deus Ex or Sleeping Dogs, why? I really don't understand their logic in making ports of previously released games.. If it was Deus Ex HR bundled with the first one then maybe I'd bite but it seems pointless when they could have released Tomb Raider or something else coming to the other consoles.

If it's Sleeping Dogs, depending on what's in it, I might double dip just to support SE.

Building a fanbase on Wii U for new games maybe?

Who am I kidding, it'll get a "our 2 years old port that everyone already played don't sell on Nintendo console so f*ck you Nintendo"

Wiiu owners must be starved and desparate for games if everything announced gets its own thread.

The latter seems likely, I really hope I'm proved wrong and this actually is a game worth playing.

Is it something already released elsewhere? I feel like this is an assumption we are making that may be causing us to be way off base.

BowieZ · Jan 30, 2013

If it was Tomb Raider this would have been announced long ago. No sense there being any embargo on news about it when that helps nobody concerned.

- New thread for new news

All but the bottom are old.

But the bottom is a huge hint, since Emily references it, and she KNOWS which game the port is.

https://twitter.com/Emi1yRogers/status/295906373781307394

So it seems to be 90% certain to be Deux Ex!

I am sad as the game is old and I completed it this month for about £3 off of Steam. I am also sad because it seems like it would be great on the Wii U... HOPE ITS NOT!

If you read back through the thread, there are strong hints that point to it being Deus Ex.

Took the words out of my mouth. Who would approve a port of a two-year-old game?

The Horror the horror · Jan 30, 2013

Deus Ex might be old, but there are a lot of people who've yet to play it outside of the hardcore gaming bubble, particularly casual gamers and Nintendo's traditional fanbase. I, myself, haven't played it thanks in part to my ridiculous backlog. If it is an enhanced port - meaning, off tv play and enhanced graphics - with a reasonable price tag (< $40) and some Nintendo Direct screen time, then it could do well.

In truth, I'm not expecting any of the above to happen, because Square Enix is a joke.

You know, Human Revolution is one of my favourite games of this gen, and purely in terms of quality that's another pretty excellent game to add to the Wii U library. Like, if owning a Wii U is the only way someone could play it, they'd be getting a fucking amazing game.

But a port of game that will be almost (if not) two years old, that regularly sells on Steam for a price into single digits, really epitomises the sad state of ports on the Wii U, irrespective of how good the game might be.

It also sells for 5 euros or so on PSN. So yeah, can't see this doing too well.

How else will Straight Right get experience porting an Eidos Montreal game before they work on porting Thief 4?

lol I could barely type that with a straight face

Oldness is irrelevant except maybe when talking about pricing.

Reggie, for the consumers "dedicated to Nintendo platforms" who can't play these games on other systems...

How did that work for ME3?

IceDoesntHelp · Jan 30, 2013

So we're positive its a western release? (I missed that hint)

I disagree with your first assumption. Deus Ex was a surprise hit for Square Enix. If it has new content (like, new areas, not just new functionality REGGIE) then it may be worthwhile, but if they are hoping to pull an RE4: Wii Edition with Deus Ex they will be disappointed. While good, Deus Ex doesn't have anywhere near the cache that RE4 does.

That having been said, if Straight Right has carte blanche to change anything they want they could possibly make the boss fights not completely suck.

Poor Wii U

And Deus Ex was just 6€ too...

As I said before 15€ eShop releases might stick and even get positive buzz, but knowing them they might not only try to sell them at full price (60&#8364

but even add the SqE tax and ramp it up to 70€

you're not doing anyone any favor doing something like that

Deus Ex: HR port... $60? Sounds legit.

EatChildren · Jan 31, 2013

And for the more optimistic among us, I would not expect this port of Human Revolution to indicate plans for Human Revolution 2 on the Wii U.

Which makes me think that's probably it.

Maybe they'll at least do an HD trilogy =\

It'll be a test.

I'd bite on a Deus Ex port with a little Wii U functionality and off-screen play.

.....if it's discount priced.

Honestly, wouldn't it make a hell of a lot more sense to just jump straight to HR2 and do a day/date release? Plus if it's HR why not just announce it?

farnham · Feb 2, 2013

So is human revolution a lock now? Kinda hope warren spector could be hired back to SE after junction point just crashed

The Deus Ex: HR port is being done by Eidos, not Straight Right. So what exactly is Straight Right porting...?

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...nfirmed-and-yes-theyve-fixed-the-boss-battles

Director's Cut is, according to Eidos Montreal, more than a port. The developer describes it as the "ultimate edition of the game". It is a co-production between the huge Canadian studio and Australian developer Straight Right, which has form when it comes to working with the Wii U: Straight Right made the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3.

Straight Right is porting Deus Ex: HR.
