It's amazing to me that people on this forum still believes this bullshit. It's getting really tiring reading it over and over again.But ultimately its a souped up Xbox 360, so you will not see much better than Halo 4.

Yeah it give me hope that it will appear on Wii U, hopefully Nintendo can talk TK to make it exclusive.http://www.gamespot.com/news/keiji-inafune-teases-new-zombie-action-title-6396305
More info on Inafune Zombie game
"On a related note, Koei Tecmo registered the trademark "Yaiba" in Europe on August 31 this year, which could mean that the publisher of the Dynasty Warriors and Ninja Gaiden series might be involved with Inafune's new game."
That is good so it looks like it will be coming to the west, and its by Koei Tecmo, gives it an even better chance at being for WiiU
I hope someone has a notepad ready to take down the names of studios that will be closing next-gen.
Ahh thanks. So Nintendo fans can have a bit of a laugh at the insanity that MS fans will suffer in the lead-up to the 720?

But this is basically what it is. The CPU will not blow the Xbox 360 out of the water from all indications. At best it will be somewhat more powerful. The GPU is perhaps 2 - 3x the power, this has been hinted at time and time again. It is not 10x more powerful in any regard. The RAM allocated to games appears to be 1 GB, a doubling of the Xbox 360. Imagine for a moment the PS1. Imagine that the PS2 had a CPU which was slightly more powerful and a GPU 2 - 3 x more powerful RAM was doubled. Would you really consider the PS2 a whole generation more advanced? No. You would think its just a souped up PS1. This is what the Wii U is like. Its the Wii all over again but for the previous gen. How big an issue that is depends on whom you ask.
I'm sure its still fairly different architecture and feature set and such though. With devs continuing to familiarize themselves with the new hardware (and am I correct in assuming that the hardware is pretty unfamiliar, therefor it will take a while for them to get a knack for the hardware?) shouldn't we see games continuing to look better? A legit question, because this is all just from what I understand. Just because it isn't insanely more powerful, does that mean that the devs won't be able to milk it for more later in life?
At the same time, someone will compile a list of new studios that start next gen to serve as a counter.
The entire gaming journalism industry is littered with bias and blind sighted idiocy, and it's largely due to the young age of the medium and audience it attracts. And I say this as someone who writes in the industry, and admits his own bias on certain topics. Everybody has a personal preference, naturally knows more about that preference than anything else, and assumes themselves an expert on the entire medium because of the little corner they're most fond of. And it is from that corner they'll gauge and judge everything else, under the literal expectation that everything should fit their idea of interactive entertainment.
It's not really surprising, as you see it with gamers too. Everybody wants what they like the most, and too many lack the humility to accept their preference and taste is subjective, and of no greater importance to the many other equally subjective tastes and preferences that compose the medium.
Let them try.
I think with not even taking that into account, development software, techniques, optimization, and tools will certainly advance in that time period yielding graphical advancements.
I think the issue is with these multipliers. 2-3x more powerful with much more modern features could mean results of more than "2-3x". Basically, we shouldn't be looking at the same stuff from Wii U as we have been for 360, but then again we don't know a whole lot about the features yet.
At the same time, someone will compile a list of new studios that start next gen making iOS games to serve as a misguided counter.
I actually think that's the better decision for Msoft as a company. Its going to be harsh on us gamers though, unless the usual suspects of neogaf give us a major tidbit on the other 2 next gen consoles.
Fixed.
It's gonna be an awful argument either way
It's nice people have faith in 720 and PS4 to so completely wipe the floor technologically with the Wii-U... without having seen anything, just because.
And even if true, will it matter you have all those bells and whistles if dev companies are taking less risks for big budget games in the current gaming climates?
with amazon adding sales tax on the 15th in CA. If we pre order on thurs, will they add sales tax when it ships after the 15th? Or is it the price I pre order at? Google doesnt seem to know.
arrggghhbnmgx, fighting urge to purchase.
Should be whatever you preorder it for.
Its about probability.
The next gen could be
A. Less powerful than this current generation.
B. On par with current generation.
C. Barely more powerful than current generation.
D. Substantially more powerful than current generation and visually a clear generational leap
E. Totally revolutionary and would require second jobs to afford.
Based on past experience, I'm willing ot bed D is the most probable answer for Sony and MS. All indications are that the Wii U is closer to C.
how has amazon been with system launches? I've never done it.
I didnt experience the lines for a wii either. I waited a couple hours in the morning to pre order at GS. And then just walked in on launch day.
Biggest issue you will likely face is a delay in getting the system since its a 99% chance of release on a sunday. Amazon is a fantastic company to deal with overall. Just that weekend factor to deal with.
The only other concern is if Nintendo and Amazon have made up and will actually have the system
The rumor is Gamestop is taking WiiU Preorders Thursday morning when they open, if thats true wouldnt they let people know this before Thurday? Not just the people who went into the store this week. I was told by a Gamestop employee that they will give a call to people who preordered WiiU games, I have so if I dont get a call i'm not gonna just show up there.

Are you wasted?Hey guys.....
Are you wasted?
Naw, the Wii U specs have sunk in and the anger has subsided.
Well, look on the bright side. Nintendo games will look stupid good.

I just hope to God the Wii U CPU is only used minimally and it won't bottleneck anything. The days of me buying a console for first party games are over. I'm not spending $250+ on a Nintendo Games Delivery System, I will spend that on a video game system that plays a majority of games and big releases.
wat ? Of course i missed you !
But i miss even more your former charming avatar /whistle
The badder the graphics, the more I like the game. I'm a bad graphics whore.
I think a lot of people missed or chose to ignore the post by the person who wrote up what vgleaks got its hands on. Was specifically mentioned the info is not fully accurate and a lot missing such as the fact the GPU can handle things beyond SM4.0 etc
