Doesn't it seem like vibration below your feet might throw you off balance? That's not a sensation we feel every day.

And if they decide to limit the amount of vibration to make sure it's not a risk, then what's the point?
It's for the big new Wii U game, "U Get a Foot Massage!"


*looks up* Fuck. Well, at least I was creative.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
I am definitely not a fan of the artwork but that wasn't the worst of it. The washed out color, the lack of antialiasing, the textures, it just look so terrible IMO.

You need to get a refund on your TV or something because it's lying to your eyes. :p

The only game I have played on my Wii that actually looked good on my HDTV was Epic Yarn.
 
A new game has been revealed?... sure it´s not a big game, but it does seem like there are some news that just gets burried in this thread.

Would be nice to have some kind of update on the first page when these kind of news happen.

Oh, and I missed this before, so maybe you did:

#2751: a developer in Santa Monica has been showing off the Wii U version of their game to certain journalists in the area this week.



Hope you make the next thread GameplayWhore. I really appreciate when you give the brief summaries.

People yelled at me last thread, insisting that I have to. So I've already written up the first post information (needs a little organization) and am mostly done designing the images needed for proper presentation. Aargh, you can't imagine how annoying it is to reproduce magazine logos and classic gaming text by sight. Anyway… it's big.

There are a couple people who really wanted to do it, too. I'm really happy that the thread exploded with rage earlier today, because it means that the chances of a Seventh thread before E3 increase. I will otherwise try to think of a way to be a good neighbor to them.

What program are you using, GameplayWhore? I've been using Adobe Creative Suite 6 (Photoshop and Indesign mostly) for my E3 thread, works great. And you really need to reproduce those things by sight, you can't scan material?
 
I don't think it'll ever happen, but I wonder if treyarch might have used the wiiU hardware to make it look better than the other console versions...

The GIMP. The stuff that I need to reproduce (it's reproducing a look, not images as a whole) are mostly fonts, but I need to do heavier-than-normal italicizing with some of them and a bunch of other stuff that drives me nuts. I'm just happy that there's a free font out there for reasonably-close 8-bit text (except exclamation marks, they got that pretty horribly wrong!).

Are you making a general E3 thread or were you planning for the N-conf thread? I know that BY2K had the latter called at some point, but this user is on vacation at the moment.

I'm making a General Information & FAQ thread. I have it reserved in the |OT| |OT| Volunteer, coordinate, (index), create thread, and I expect to post it around the 27th of May.

If you by 8-bit text mean something close to what you normally see in games for NES or Sega Master System, you have the typefaces Fixedsys, Small Fonts and Terminal readily available under Windows 7. For Mac OS X I don't really know if any fonts like what is described are bundled but there are a few Chinese bitmap fonts.

Well the PC versions of CoD games typically look a bit better than the console versions, so there's certainly hope for the WiiU version looking better as well.
 
*COUGH* BO2 *COUGH*

Ah, that sounds right. I hadn't put it in my notes, and my memory is pretty bad with all this video game mumbo jumbo.

I learned about that OT-claiming thread yesterday. Neat idea.

I look forward to seeing your new thread! :)

There's a font called "Press Start" which I found matches up pretty nicely with what I needed.

they've also indicated that this one will take more advantage of PC hardware so...I don't know. I'll never put in hope but it would be a great surprise to have the wiiU version to be the noticeably superior COD console version.

He said "the thumb sticks are clicky", which could mean the thumb sticks on a new Classic Controller for all we know.

I'd be surprised to see the feature happen on CC and not happen on the padlet.

On the other hand, the presence of clicky sticks on the padlet would all but confirm a new iteration of the Classic Controller.

He could come back in time, who knows?

Otherwise, I think Nibel offered to jump in for it. If my memory doesn't betray me here.

Nibel is good people, especially when it comes to art and æsthetics.



GIMP - the choice of champions, especially those that would rather not spend a fortune on good software. Didn't 2.8 release recently ?

Yeah. Seems to be the same thing as before, except that you have the option of grouping the docks and images into a single window with a tabbed interface. I heard there are other big improvements, but they're not very noticeable to me.

If I recall correctly, you own quite a number of games across multiple systems, right?

I'm your polar opposite: over the past two generations, I've purchased maaaaybe 30 games, and I've played about 90% of them inside and out.

I have a problem with purchasing games. I tend to not finish 75% of the games I buy. I just like the smell of opening the packaging :(

I'll probably be posting only in the sony thread. I'd rather lurk nintendo threads because of the potential for ridiculousness. I mean everyone started to cannibalize each other earlier in this thread and its not even e3 yet.

I never replay games and usually don't 100% things but I seem to have a compulsion that makes me want to finish a game (see the credits) before I move onto the next thing. I've finished probably 95% of the games I started this gen.

I still keep buying games too though. They just sit unopened in my backlog until the time is right.

Aye, it's oddly satisfying in the same way as it is to watch Claw-Plach on Decapod 10.

I bought Dark Souls and aside from it being a daunting prospect in terms of difficulty I just haven't been inclined to play it for some reason.
 
lol.

Well, it'll probably run at 720p at least.
I don't know. If Nintendo pushed hard for it maybe they could have made some improvements. Still don't believe it but I think there is a TINY chance it could be possible.

Not holding my breath though.

Just read through today's bloodbath.

It is apparent that we have at last entered the Endgame of the E3 journey.

I really enjoy a lot of posters in this thread. There's gonna be an onslaught of trolls waiting for NintendoGAF in the coming days ahead. Please guys, don't allow their ignorance to get at you, thus contributing to the decadence of this thread/community.

This is supposed to be a light-hearted place right? Let's keep it that way, yeah?

Man, a speech like that normally isn't my style, heh.

Increasing the resolution would take little-to-no money or effort. It probably just comes down to whether or not Wii U can handle it.

Then again, I could see Microsoft pushing against it...

damn microsoft, always doing things I don't like.

Would be great to have a high resolution or better textures or something.

It's okay, I mailed out a slew of Gaf Loyalty NFC figurines to everybody here. You just have to hold it up to your screen when you click Submit Reply in order to post a message. That way, the trolls can't get to us.

Judging from my notes, this is probably the fastest a WUST has gotten to one thousand posts in a day, by a small margin. We should get IdeaMan to piss people off more often. :D

There shouldn't really be any extra resources required for the BLOPS 2 port if they are already doing upgrades for the PC version.
