The 360s successor is a car?
Durango is the code name for the 360 successor. It's also the name of car.
Ahh ok now Im following you though not in a stalkerish way. Im trying to keep my dickish posting habits to a minimum since its a stricter time of year around here. That and I am used to inflating answers because it works better career wise to fluff up answers. Yes or No leads to tons more questions
It is a bit worrisome to me as well looking at some of these resumes. I cant judge them solely on those but going from Smalltime Facebook style games to lead gameplay programmer on a major console game is one hell of a leap

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
It starts at 360. So no Wii in sight.
I have a hard time accepting it will be less than 50/half-way to the next Xbox. There's been so much time to improve technology since the 360 was released and, despite the bigger budget for Durango, its releasing only a year after Wii U.

Btw, I predict the "down ports" of Wii U games from 720/PS4 to look much, much better than the "up ports" from 360/PS3. (Provided an adequate team.budget is assigned to the Wii U version).
yeah, i can appreciate wanting to keep that sort of anonymity.
wow. that's pretty crazy. that actually sounds pretty desperate of them if they're looking for smalltimers.

Not sold at a loss, sold with a 2-year contract with monthly fees. They are already experimenting with that with the $99 XBox 360 + Kinect package. It makes sense as a way to stealthily sell people $600 to $700 game consoles.
I hope this doesn't mean the game will be delayed or turn into a mess. I wasn't really interested in it, but if it turned out to be something along the lines of TimeSplitters then I would probably pick it up.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out in the end if they do decide to go with this route.

Lol a ubisoft game might be a shitty mish mash of mediocrity? Gasp! Can't say I'll be surprised. Who knows though.
well that makes it sound like they're giving it heavy importance at least. i wonder if their intention is to replicate the sales of red steel, and actually turn it into a franchise or something.
I could see them trying to create a franchise thats for the Wii U like they tried with Red Steel and the Wii.
They need to do alot better than the first Red Steel to keep people interested in a sequel though

Are people worried about it not supporting UE4 because they really want to see UE4 games (based on the games using UE3 last gen) or because they're worried about the implications on the support it will have in general if it doesn't have the featureset to support it?

Wait, is that bad news?
I think the latter is what is most important.
They're pulling out staff from all sorts of places. It could end up being bad due to miscommunication as well as other issues. I was under the assumption that the game was being developed by one team.
Yup. I don't know. I might only end up buying AC3 from them this generation.
Probably the latter.
From my time spent here, people seem less hung-up on pixel counting and more concerned with support. I get the impression that the Wii U could be a butthair above the 360 and most folks would still be there on Day 1 if the games were there.

When I mean "support in general" I mean considering all the other engines that will be used. Considering the vast majority of games won't use UE4, do people expect other engines to basically follow in it's path and would therefore mean they too won't be compatible with Wii U, or are Epic going for some uber-engine it's unlikely anyone will come close to?

I was hoping it was a car.

Aha, a new unit of measurement - the butthair. Let's put the XBox 360 at two butthairs, the Wii-U at 3 butthairs, and XBox 720/PS4 at 6 butthairs.

Whoever makes a system that powerful wins a car.
That I'm not sure of, as I'm not familiar with the specs required for each. Not really my strong suit, unfortunately..
I forgot to mention that all of the 2013 Dodge Durangos will have a Xbox 720 built into them.
you're always looking out for us bg ='}

Lies you noob! Would be 2014 model as last half of year would be the 2014 models
You got me. You're only able to demo the next Forza within the 2013 Model. Be prepared for the 2014 Model where you can play more than just Forza.

But I wanna car.
Why would you do that?

Present.
I'll be at my friend's house during E3, but if that somehow doesn't work out, Nintendo World also plays the conference live. I wonder if they'll be giving out free stuff...

While I do agree with this statement, I still like Cars. It may be Pixar's worst movie franchise (Cars 2 was worse than Cars 1), but it's still the worst of the best
I would put it ahead of any Dreamworks CGI film that came out before Kung Fu Panda.I'm sure if someone is forced to watch (or listen to) it over and over by young kids, that would taint the perception, but that'll happen with any darn movie, no matter how awesome.

That fits my speculation up above that the Xbox 360 has 2 butthairs of power and the Wii-U has 3 butthairs of power!

So basically Cars: The Movie The Game 2012 Edition for Wii U confirmed?
I would be fine with this.

I love how butthairs are now becoming an accepted unit of measurement around here, haha..
I saw that photo a while back with the predicable macro of "Even in highschool his body was ready".
So I'm guessing there are Nintendo fans out there who are realising they went to school with Reggie. Guess they wish they were BFF with him now.

Oh dude, this movie talk just gave me a great idea for a Wii-U game I want:
The Hobbit RPG for Wii-U. Bilbo is hired as a burglar, so everywhere you go, the controller gives hints about where you can find treasure, as well as being able to display inventory menus and whatnot. And once you find a magic ring, putting it on makes the main screen go white and you can kinda see by looking at the controller and moving it around AR style (I'm assuming that the movie will use much of the same invisible-hobbit effect that the Lord of the Rings movies did, though hopefully a lot less intense).

I'd be all about that! Sounds like a very interesting action-stealth-strategy/puzzle game.
And you'd be limited in how much you can use the Ring, as it would corrupt you if you used it too much..
Saw the UE4 likely not being on Wii U & it got me wondering whether the 360/PS3 ever used UE3 at the highest-end of that engine's capabilities. If Samaritan is UE3, then obviously they did not, but if Wii U can utilize UE3 to near full, then the lack of UE4 shouldn't matter much, right?

Well I don't know how much of a difference a potential lack of UE4 would make when talking about graphics, but it could make a big difference in 3rd party support.
Well it does matter. UE4 will have features and effects that UE3 doesn't have. If those features/effects aren't an issue then downports won't be too bad.

Or it's just a crazy stalker who broke into his house to steal his year books.
Sometime after E3. That, or never.
