I'm so going to hell for laughing at this Anne Frank Twitter, I'm an atheist anyway so, meh.

Has anything ever happened out of that FFXV rumor yet?

3 months til E3. Ugh, that's awful. So much crap I have to do before it even begins. Though E3 day is good for me. Come home at 6pm. Chillax, watch Microsoft and Sony's conferences (and the other pressers). Read some meltdowns and megatons. Maybe a leak or two in Nintendo thread. Commence hype and anticipation. And then the curtains come up and the Nintendo conference begins... at 3am.
 
I've been doing a bit of research on the different types of RAM Nintendo might choose to put in the system after analyzing my previous blunders. I'm gonna try to have something typed up soon. As some may be able to tell, I'm quite interested in this particular aspect as I really do think it's a make or break factor in Wii U's longevity. Nintendo has made quite a few interesting choices in system RAM historically, so it's a fun exercise.

I recall sitting in bed every year with my laptop burning my chest staring at a glowing screen (as I am now lol) as I wait until it's all over around 5am UK time. This tradition has been going on since 2004?

I don't follow gaming news/E3 as fanatically as I used to but man I remember the e3 conference when Reggie revealed Twilight Princess.

I had stayed up all night to study for a final, took it early in the morning, and then came back to my apartment hoping to pass out for the rest of the day. Something made me log in and watch and on the whole I was disappointed by the press conference but that out of nowhere Zelda footage rocked my world and I forgot all about sleep.

Microsoft? Anyone wanna bet it'll be all Kinect.

Really pyro? I sit in bed eating like a Snorlax and silently fanboying and waking people up with my loud-ass keyboard.

Must suck for you guys in shitty timezones. I enjoy it at the perfect time. Eat my dinner/lunch and watch meltdowns and 503 errors.

Nah, by that point in the summer I've broken up so I'm pretty wide awake till the early morning most nights and that extra push to 4am or so heightens my insanity and makes it all the more polar (i.e. BOOO! or WOOO!)

Nintendo is pretty much the best company in the industry at hiding information. We won't learn anything about Wii U until it is said by Nintendo.

Seriously? Both the Wii U and 3DS leaked to an extent where Nintendo was forced to acknowledge their existence. Then we have New Super Mario Bros Wii and Donkey Kong Country Returns slipping out the week before E3. Hell, even Twilight Princess's existence was revealed the day(night) before E3 in Matt's hot or not. That's not even including the planned unveiling of Wii's major, exclusive third-party launch title (Red Steel) through Game Informer a month before E3.

Yes, Nintendo is the best at hiding information. But that doesn't change the likely hood of us hearing at least something before E3 comes around.

Or SE could shit out another Crystal Chronicles spinoff...

That said I'll wouldn't be surprised if FFXV shows up on the Wii U.

They would preface a statement like the one they made if it was just going to be Crystal Chronicles. Besides, after what they DID to it, they might just let the CC series die.

Considering Crystal Bearers is by far the most fun Final Fantasy game this (and last) generation, I sure hope not...

You know, the game is in development for like 6 years without much gameplay footage shown in this time.

So yes (Believe).

Nah, if it would ported to another console = Megaton. This will be PS3 exclusive; although I can see them porting it because of the huge production costs.

The next FF the Wii U could get is FF-XIII-3 if this turns out to be true.
 
I just meant in general, haha.
Yeah, knowing Android, the phone releases on Clove a month (just about) before my birthday, so the day I get it it'll probably be outdated already. :l

Oh, and frostbyte, I'll be 14.
goddamn youz a young ass muthafuckah. Sorry that's my only reaction. Anyway yeah you're probably right, lol. Just root it/put stock android on it or something because htc sense sucks, and you will be happy for a while.

Things really did just come to a halt here, didn't they? Hmm. Hype train must be going in for maintenance.

Edit: Thanks Pyro... lol
I have tried to maintain my hype, but the complete lack of info makes it hard. The train ride is too unpredictable, bumpy, and stressful. I think I'll walk from here on in.

REALLY? From all the demos I've had it was very smooth, and the new one looks awesome, but stock Ice Cream Sandwich looks *keyboard drool*

Also, FF-XIII-3, GET. IT. THE. HELL. AWAY. FROM. ME. DO NOT WANT
 
I've just heard it from a friend that Epic has UE3 & UE4 up and running on Wii U hardware.

His source works for a developer, one that I shall not name, but they do work on pretty much every system. So that alleviates any concerns that I didn't have over the Wii U power issue as far as I'm concerned.

I hate FFXIII, too. But I can see SE releasing the third game of this crap entry on Wii U.

But I love Versus because this is what I wanted a next gen FF to look like back in 2006.

Also this: when will people understand that there is no way to get off the train? Once you get on it you gotta stay until the meltdown.

Is UE4 the most powerful next gen engine we know of yet? Until Crytek comes in.
Also, the developer needs to be CHAIR, Infinity Blade U would work so goddamn well.

You just opened a can of worms...

Nah, seriously, good to hear if that's true.

Cryengine 3 is designed to be pretty future focused so I don't think we will see a new engine from crytek for awhile. Tweak to 3 sure but I don't think 4 is around the corner.

Also, why has Infinity Blade U NOT been discussed? Is it an Apple-CHAIR exclusive?
It was the first thing to pop into my head when I heard the U rumors, it'd look beautiful.

A leak? ...a bon-a-fide, second hand, easily deniable leak??! Oh my God, how I missed you!!

Now cue 10 pages of asking for verification :p

Thanks for the tip. It's comforting to hear, and I really hope your source is accurate (though I hope you'll excuse me if I stay a little cynical until further concrete notice). Again, thanks!

The next game, Infinity Blade Dungeons, is being released exclusively on iPad devices. I think that although the game is practically made for the uPad that it will never leave iOS devices for now.
