I think he is referring to the roundtable. Nintendo is putting it online at 11pm PST. text or video no one knows
There's a Nintendo Conference in my pants 24/7.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
That was the round table? I always thought the roundtables occur after their presentation. This one occurs the next day.
oh ok yeah the software thing the next day is likely just hands on time etc for viewers to see.
Roundtable is on Tuesday. Its not going on the website until 11pm for some reason
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So in a way I think their conference is mostly presentation while the bulk of videos of their games will be for next day, right?
it's here, less than an inch, could be a jump from 6,2" to 6,5"

Thanks. I was actually looking for your post through the search thing but I guess I kept skipping over it by accident lol.
btw, your photoshoped cat in the previous page is amazing
He's trying to look his best for E3. It's a very important event.

Yeah I think IdeaMan said instead of 6.2 inches it got a very slight increase, probably 6.5 inches.

Well folks, just a week away. I decided to retire my Snifit for awhile to put on some more formal attire.
Time to put to start putting on those tuxedos, gentleman!
Dude. You're late. I have been tuxed up for months.
grain of salt for this though, it's 100% sure developers were noticed of this increase, but has it been implemented on the updated DRC version we saw on the leaked picture ?
We need a photoshop expert, an image supreme analyst, to compare the proportions, the shape, the distances between several elements, and find if such a screen size change occurred or not.
Where are those damn ESPER computers that manipulates to the extreme pictures in Blade Runner, when we need them ><

The eventual mobile version wont do that stuff so it could be ported to Wii U but it would useless for crossplatform Durango-WiiU-Orbis development. iPad-Wii U port buddies?
The first UE4 titles wont see the light of day before 2014 and by that time economics are not an issue. GTX580 level card will be very much mainstream and next-gen consoles will have combined 10M base.
This has more to do with THQ's financial situation vs. 4A's desire to continue the development of the Wii U's version. I believe E3 may remedy this. Aliens:CM is utilizing quite impressive deferred rendering in its reatime lighting engine. Impressive is a subjective term, its still a valid example in UE3 cross-platform software. This is true despite what you think of Gearbox's offering.
Despite being the weakest of the three, the Wii U's GPU supports most modern rendering/shading techniques. The usual suspects then are main system RAM, or the CPU. 2014 is second generation Wii U titles, including some very strong 1st party IP launches. The relevant point here is if the Wii U's success even remotely mirrors the Wii's, 3rd parties will not want to be forced into delegating internal team resources to concurrently creating seperate console versions. (assuming the Orbis will even run a fully featured UE4) A scalable UE4 simply makes market sense. A third console revenue stream to increase profitability, as well as offsetting rising development costs cannot be ignored.

I find it interesting that Sony may be buying into a Cloud Gaming company this opens up options like streaming PS3 games to Vita
It would have been great if Nintendo started cloud gaming too... then WiiU Specs would not matter if you can stream any game from the cloud

Be careful saying things like in the spoilers, it's a phrase that when uttered, has turned posters to stone. And E3 is so close...

Yeah well, I've been doing that on my 3DS since I have it.
Being able to use the web browser whilst playing a game is something Nintendo HAS to put in Wii U. It's like 3DS's best feature!

The latest Ask Gamasutra Pre-E3 edition, where most of their editors are talking of the Wii U, how they are curious about it, etc, it's encouraging
Some thoughts are interesting, i agree with Mr Nutt (did you see THAT pun ) for example:

God fucking damn am I glad not to be on consolewars anymore. That rotting troll infested hole can go and do whatever is not really appropriate to say here.
Also the original Hype Train picture is made by someone here on GAF.
GAF -> Internet -> GAF and stuff.
Yup, and it became this after a while
But tell my German fellows that although they stole the train I'm proud that they are hyped. I just scrolled through that forum and must say they are pretty crazy :lol weiter so!
GAF doesn't need the train anymore, rumors say most of them hang out in HYPE town
That's what she said
Woah, when did the animation style of the show change so much?

I know that feel bro.BGBW said:
Cevat Yerli (Crytek) confirmed in a recent interview with German technology site Golem that there are upcoming Wii U games using CryEngine, but they have no plans to develop any Wii U games at the moment. So no Crysis 3 or Homefront 2 for Wii U I guess. He also thinks that the next generation of home consoles will be the last, as the business model becomes more and more unsustainable.
The whole interview (in German): http://www.golem.de/news/interview-...olengeneration-ist-die-letzte-1205-92030.html

It's really plausible. When you read the industry news, the switch to mobile & social gaming, the tablets, f2p models, etc, and even famous gamedesigners, veterans, jumping to this new trend + all the technology advancements (cloud, etc.) + the evolution of the market, of the practices (stallion like Diablo 3 requiring an internet connection but still managing to beat sales records, meaning being forced to have a web access with your game platform is more and more accepted and not feared by publishers) + tons of other parameters (development costs, similarity of a lot of AA/AAA games, traditional studios closing, etc. etc.), really tends toward the end of videogames as we knew it, but this shift, this progress, will be more smooth, transitional, that just the 3 manufacturers declaring one day "we stop releasing video games systems".
Thank you! Sorry for the late reply. Clears that up for me. Is the budget typically more or less than usual?

Well it's only a matter of time until they pull support from every platform.
NBA 2K13 coming to Wii U, later than PS360 versions though
It's from a Take Two Interactive announce today

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Looking forward to seeing what they can do with the touchscreen for calling plays.

Yeehaw! C'mon everybody, let's get dolled up and dapper!
He may just be referring to the German studio, which wouldn't rule out Homefront 2.
Amazing to hear the Crytek head say that.
He's right.

The risk is you're vying for the attention of a very small crowd, and unless you're in the small group of games with great legs people won't care about your release by the time the userbase has grown. Though it seems like releasing the third version of a game on a new platform is about the lowest possible type of risk. Certainly the cost of porting a game to Wii U would be miniscule compared to, say, having an all-new game ready for the launch of PS4.Cabbie said:

We might not get traditional consoles the round after next, but I doubt games large in scale, scope, and complexity will go away now. Especially now that FPS like COD are printing money for publishers.
As long as I can continue to play my AAA Nintendo games I'll be happy regardless of the medium.

Nice to see. Still most excited to see Madden. I want the WiiU version to be the definitive model. Best graphics, best online set up, and best new control schemes using the tablet control.
I NEED MADDEN!

The business model is not inherently unsustainable. [most] Developers and publishers are choosing to massively increase costs for the most part, and they've been subsequently narrowing their focus while trying to use various methods to increase the revenue per person dramatically. This is a shitty way to treat both customers and themselves.
This should not be a binary decision of "make simple pong variants for fifty cents" or "spend eighty million dollars to deliver buckets of blood". There is a very, very large continuum between those two extremes which publishers have sort of squeezed out. Many features which had me and others buying games in the past simply vanished (like the ability to play many games across a wide spectrum of genre in your own home with family or friends, or in some genres a more heavy focus on nonlinear game play), seemingly as soon as the generation started. I didn't ask for all the resources of today's game budgets to eke out every last polygon that systems are capable of, and most gamers did not. The action game buying people I know in real life either didn't care or were oblivious to most graphical differences in this generation. Hell, one of them was genuinely impressed by the grass textures in Wii Sports Golf.
Every market segment needs to be catered to. It isn't just "core" and "casual". There are "platformer fans", "rpg fans", "dance fans", "fps/over-the-shoulder shooter fans", "shootemup fans", "exercise fans", "brawler fans", "fighter fans", "rhythm fans" The preponderance of marketing feels like it's treating all these genres as just one of two extremes and not making any useful distinction beyond that. I know there's variety out there, but it sure doesn't feel like it from the way people carry on. So I'll spend my money more on crazy naked vacations instead of video games. I'm okay with that. The boobs are more real anyway.
