Do we have an equivalent list of confirmed and reliably rumoured games including ones we got long ago?

Wow.. that's actually a lot for this past week or two (relatively speaking). We usually hear about how there's nothing new going on, but here we are, more bites of news..So wait...
Confirmed (more or less)
- Call of Duty Black Ops 2
- 007 Legends
- The Avengers Battle for Earth
Rumoured
- Final Fantasy XIV
I find myself typing something and hitting the 'Back' button more often, that's for sure.I would never want to get banned and miss out on E3. I love GAF during E3 because of how rowdy and crazy people get. I enjoy watching people get banned during E3, but wouldn't want the same to happen. Hopefully no one else falls from this thread.
No doubt the grips would make it easier to hold but the final version is going to look good
Those are the worst descriptions of an accelerometer and gyroscope I've ever seen. You're correct about the magnetometer though.Yeah, the DRC has:
accelerometer (like the early Wii Remote)
- this gets very confused about what direction it's pointing while you're moving it, so it totally loses anything directional that isn't tilt
gyroscope (like Wii Motion Plus or Playstation Move)
- this can figure out if you're turning left or right pretty nicely, but it isn't perfectly accurate and drifts over time
magnetometer
- this can use the Earth's magnetic field to give you an idea of your absolute direction
Use all three together (extra nice if you also have that IR pointer to unambiguously tell you where the TV is), and you should be able to pretty accurately determine what direction the device is pointing with respect to the television set.
That is, if I'm understanding correctly what a magnetometer is. For all I know, it could just be a tool used for spiritual wellness. "Wii Heal"

Thanks for clarifying. I hope this is true, most encouraging news i've hear regarding the controller in some time.#232: John Harker (vouched for in #284, #285, #286, #289, et al), "the thumb sticks are clickable" ← speculation follows regarding the possibility of it being analog-"click", whether the flat nature of the Wii U analogs would make it feel less awkward, etc..
Grips would also make it sit completely flat when laid on the floor or a table, so I think that's the most likely final design.

If Nintendo wastes time talking about Final Fantasy XIV at their press conference I'm gonna lose it.
Same. I hope when it comes to 3rd party support they just rattle off the games, show some logos, and then go on to the good shit.This is what I'm afraid of. I don't want them to waste any time with ports.

Accelerometer: Detects linear acceleration, including gravitational acceleration. Cannot measure roll. Very good at measuring just tilt or just perfectly linear motions but not so great when it comes to complex motions that involve both rotation and linear movement.
Gyroscope: Measures rotational displacement. Cannot measure any linear motions, cannot decipher the direction of gravity without external calibration. Is very good at measuring rotation and theoretically shouldn't be affected by linear motion however like you said, they can drift.
Essentially each device measures 3-axis each. Combine them together and you get the means of measuring all 6-axis. Throw in a magnetometer and an IR camera and you have a means of calibration.

It looks like the IR camera is out. Based on what you know, would a magnetometer make up for this fact? How good are they with absolute positioning?
It is actually, but we still don't know what it's going to be.This is what I'm afraid of. I don't want them to waste any time with ports.
Edit:
Isn't Tekken Wii U pretty much confirmed?

Rosti allready updated the list hehe
- Confirmed games in development:
- Rumoured games/studios working on Wii U software:
{games}
{games}
How can it be out? Without it the controller can't interact with the sensor bar at all

Thanks, but linear acceleration was entirely out of the scope of what was being asked. I was answering a question specifically about how well the components measure rotation.
Pretty much. If there's a port that plays as well as RE4's Wii version, it could deserve some spotlight.. but otherwise, it gets a place on one of the (hopefully several) sizzle reels.I think they should select the biggest third party port that makes the best use of the controller and show it for a few minutes and then move on.

No idea. From what I hear about about the PS Move, probably not that great.
Mind you though, data drift is only an issue during prolonged sessions of 1:1 motion tracking. If you just use the sensors for discrete short motions you can just calibrate at the beginning of each motion using the devices starting position as the origin.
Oh ok, my bad.
Still on the Wii Remote. Not on the DRC. Never was.

Hmmm. So in theory, the DRC might be programmed to recalibrate every time you hold it up and the camera catches your face straight on.
Exact lherre quote:
It's funny how most of you have selective reading. In no way did lherre "vouche" for Ideaman. Honestly I don't really trust any information unless it comes straight out of Nintendo's mouth (hell even that has some hiccups though) but at least people like ShockngAlberto, Hal_Labatory, Shikamura Ninja, etc. have given correct information before.
The verdict is still out on Ideaman, until E3 I guess (if he stops giving so much vague "news"). I believe you already now where I side though..
Well said.
So we're back at the "IdeaMan is a fraud" stage? Ugh. Can we make a separate thread for that so it stops coming up every few hours? I mean, it's not like he's given any groundbreaking info anyway.
This is when we need ideaman to come back to tell us whether this has anything to do with the controller news he has.
why so a dozen posters can dogpile on him again?
So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.
So if the U Pad has a magnetometer, is it save to assume that the Stylus will be magnetic, so that you can use the U Pad's touch-screen functions without actaully thouching that thing.
If it's true, how likely is it that Nintendo will announce another WII MUSIC then?
I hope not.
Batman: It ends here.NeoGAF down because Nintendo Ninjas saw our newest piece of info?
alberto said that square might bring it to wiiUwhy are you guys talking about FF14 on Wii U?
But you already said that what, XX times ? I thought it was settled, every time i catch up i fall upon a message of your like that, without me even posting since yesterday lol.
Phew...
It starts to be irritating actually. It wasn't enough that you derailed the thread for several pages, with encouragement to bash a member ? Just ignore me, like some others suggested.
It's tiresome yes, my patience has limits. And i find it weird that a few members can obsessively and often in disregard of the TOS, jump continuously to that without being even warned, whereas elsewhere, this would be settled. Like the thread is a giant junk where posters can do what they want.
i loled
For the patents, they are worrying me
Concerning the one of the system, we already talked about that, i find it weird.
Batman: It ends here.
Ra's al Ghul: For you and the moderators, maybe. My fight, however, lies with the rest of internet. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a forum to destroy.
Batman: I can't beat two of your pawns?
Ra's al Ghul: As you wish.
*neogaf goes down*
why are you guys talking about FF14 on Wii U?
I am about 90% certain we will see only X360 level graphics from Wii U at E3, including Nintendo first party games. It is what I fully expect at this time.
It has seemed a bit shakey as of late.. and for little apparent reason. Makes me a bit concerned.man I don't think this site will even have an E3
