So I'm just curious guys,

What ports that have already been announced for Wii U are you most likely buying ?

Assassins Creed 3?
Rayman Legends?
Darksiders 2?
Alien Colonial Marines?
Metro Last Light?
Batman: Arkham City?
Project Cars?
Dirt?
Ninja Gaiden 3 (lol haha yeah right) ?
Click to expand...

Darksiders 2 and Rayman seem like sure bets. Everything else is up in the air. AC3 interests me but I haven't played 1&2 even though they I own them on Steam. Aliens is a definite possibility since they are taking advantage of the system, however I will wait to see if the game itself is actually any good. Metro is w.e. Batman, I'm still not particularly happy about the direction the took with the game so I never purchased it for PC or PS3. Project Cars...dunno. The other 2, not a chance.

I could see myself buying a few of them at discount prices anyway. I'm more interested in exclusives or ports of upcoming games though.

Skyward Sword was 5 years in development... Not gonna happen. Even 3D Mario with just 3 1/2 years is not likely. But hey, the hired alot of people lately...

SS took a long time because they had issues getting the controls to work, they won't have that problem for the next one.

Batman AC, Assassins Creed 3, Project Cars(as long as it has a good single player mode & a rewind option) & maybe Rayman Legends.

I don't really like South Park. It's the cynical internet asshole of TV shows. Every week, it's telling us how much something sucks, with no real solutions except for moderation. It hates everything, but it stands for nothing, because being excited or passionate about anything makes you a fuckin' loser.

South Park is like that one guy you know who always makes jokes about how fucked up the world is. He's funny, he's often right...but you don't wanna hang out with that kind of person, ya know? The only thing you'd have in common is how much you DON'T have in common with other people. "Yeah, I hate things as well! Let's hang out!"
Click to expand...

At least they admit it. Anyway, that doesn't make it bad. I would never want to hang out with Bill Hicks, didn't stop him being fucking hilarious. Plus they exaggerate out the arse and it's all on the surface. They're pisstakers. They're not trying to make statements, they're just pointing out dumb shit and having some fun with it.

As for the bolded, this is certainly not what Trey or Matt believe, given that they are clearly passionate about so many things.

Sounds good on paper but guess which game also borrowed heavily from Paper Mario and was done by a supposedly good name in western RPGS?

Sonic Chronicles.

I suppose they are simply speculating. But still.


Nice of them to do a feature on Wii U though. I will read it later, still catching up on this thread :/

2 Years is insanely short for a zelda.

I seriously wouldn´t bank on it. I don´t know the internal structure of Nintendo but Zelda 3DS propably does use quite a few resurces aswell. And i belive they won´t show 2 Zeldas on 1 E3. They still have other E3s that they need to win after this year ;)

I don't know if this has been brought up (been busy writing things), but Nintendo released a new version of the logo yesterday:

It's slightly darker than the logo released in 2011, other than that I don't spot any differences. Comparison image:

Building an HD game with Zelda scale isn't something that's going to happen fast. I don't expect Nintendo to struggle with HD games, but I also don't expect them to get off an running at a faster rate than we've seen from developers that had a handle on HD games from the start. Even linear AAA HD games take two years to develop.

I don't know why a extremely simple change of colors gets me excited; this looks somehwo better than the old one although there is actually no real difference. But that blue is somehow.. deep. Like the ocean, you know?

Well the ray tracer/rasterizer hybrid was more of a joke.

My main thing was wanting to understand if it was logical that the texture samplers could be modified as a way to address my original premise.

And considering the business perspective that AMD and nVidia have, would they even really be that concerned about making certain things more efficient? It sounded like there were things Nintendo contributed to the GPU that may not have necessarily come from AMD.
Click to expand...
So the synopsys is: No exotic hardware like hardware raytracers(not TEV even), just very efficient and most back-for-your-buck performance out of silicon?

I'm still curiours as to how the system is "laid out". Guess we won't know until the first console teardown post-release.

Also while looking for this post, I found another post worth knocking the dust off of.

I understand. Can you do a transcription of what the optimistic guy said? The bolded part picked my interests because at first i couldn't believe Nintendo didn't make the 2 triggers analog. As well as i can't believe that to this day they refuse to use depressable thumbsticks :(
Click to expand...
From the top of my head:

- Analog triggers have been added and a racing game is being designed to take advantage of them.

- The Wii U's version of Battlefield will be "at worst" (in my words) close to the PC version.

- There are going to be a decent amount of high-level FPSs during Wii U's first year.

He also said there would be more Wii U news before the end of the year, but this was before Nintendo officially announced the re-unveil. So that may have changed. There were some other things said (most of which were pretty vague). But looking at other posts here I do believe he knows someone now.

So Wii U is pretty much confirmed to be the final name? I have actually grew fond of it and new logo does indeed look somehow sleeker than the original one.

I really hope this means blue cases for the games. That's a nicer shade than last year's logo.

I missed a lot from the first two threads so this is great. Nintendo did put a lid on developers before they were able to unveil anything for the platform, but it's coming off soon!

I won't rule out exotic hardware, but I don't see it being likely. My view has been that the "foundation" is programmable shaders like any current GPU, but beyond that is up in the air as to what Nintendo may have done to it. That includes TMUs and Rasterizers. But like you I'm ready to see what they have pulled off that could lead to a nice difference in the 1st-party games over a PS360 port.

As some of you might know, me and my family make funny youtube videos for fun that are mostly about video games. Well we recently made a Pre E3 Hype video where we were supposed to talk about E3 before it happens, but I completely lost it in the video at the possibilities of Hd Nintendo games.

So without further ado:

YouTube News - Episode 28 - OH MY GAWD! HIGH DEFINITION NINTENDO FRANCHISES!!!!!!!!!!!11

Which can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYjJ976rJ7M

Watch the video for some laughs! Just be sure to watch all the way through for the funny parts since my dad kept interupting the video!

I recently made a video for Wii U Speculation Thread VI which can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5j5o1a0fjE

My next video on Tuesday will be a video about the ending of one of my favorite youtube series, so it won't be posted here. I guess I will post NeoGAF News Episode 6 in this thread since it will mostly be about pre E3 Wii U stuff.

I am planning on posting a video for every day of E3 week from June 3rd to June 9th.

They are:

3rd: Pre E3 Hype!
4th: Microsoft Conference
5th: Sony's Conference
6th: Nintendo's Conference
7th-9th: Various News about E3

After that, and maybe taking a week break after E3, I plan on posting a new video every Tuesday and Saturday.

I have alot of work heh. I hope yall enjoy my videos! Subscribe on my youtube channel to get the latest of my videos since I only post them in a specific NeoGAF thread if its revelant to that thread.

Seriously...Ninetndo games in HD...it shall be...GLORIOUS!

I always wondered. Are you all just acting like that or is it the real deal?
Regardless, it was funny. Thanks!
