2012... all-new hardware... and still can't get something as simple as decent looking grass and dirt textures.
I'll still play it though :/
Only the Wii U version
It's a Wii port... by Square-Enix. Do the math.

GAF, I really need some help. It seems that Toys R Us and Walmart still have pre-orders for the basic set. I am so tempted to pre order now because of the fear of not being able to get either of the sents at launch day, but I really want the premium, because of NintendoLand and well, the little Wii U stand and GamePad charging base. Would I be able to get that sold separately? I don't really care about the color, white Wii U is ok to me.
You think stores might get more Black Wii U pre orders? Help me make a decision. I can't seem to do it on my own. I know maybe this is too much drama
Also, walmart bundle options look good. They make you choose a game and a pro controller. Which I was going to get anyway.
Thank you all!

I suspect that fan-site Google translated the article and ran with it, because this is mistranslated. 4Gamer doesn't say anything about DQX running at 1080p, just that Wii U supports 1080p. Plus no other Japanese sites are reporting that it runs at 1080p.The original source is 4gamer.net ( http://translate.google.de/translat...www.4gamer.net/games/139/G013996/20120920113/ ) from a Square Enix - Event, SE probably said it there.
Hell, it looked like the PS2 version upscaled with AA at PC launch, too. Art direction and IQ, for me, trumps all. I think DQX looks great on Wii U.This

What is it with Nintendo and poop recently? In Skyward Sword, the crows literally shits on your head.
Yep, it's actually 1920 x 1080 and it is a noticeable difference on my 23 inch monitor.
Watching Blu Rays on my 51 inch TV in 720p or 1080p, no noticeable difference whatsoever.
The N64 techdemo was a hotlink?
HEH! GET IT! HEH!?
Think of resolution like...um...imagine that the screen is divided into little squares. It's a grid. And each square can only display a limited amount of information at any one time (eg: one colour in a single instance, like an LCD screen). The higher the resolution, the bigger the grid, and thus the more 'squares' we have available to display information.
So if I'm looking at, say, an enemy across Hyrule Field, the density of the grid will dictate how many 'squares' are available to make that character appear. Low resolution = fewer squares on the grid, thus fewer squares to render that character. High resolution = more squares, thus more squares to render the character. More squares = more detail is apparent on the screen. It looks cleaner, sharper, with greater definition, especially over a distance.
Imagine you've got a really busy scene in the distance. Lots of trees, enemies moving around, a stream, grass, etc. With a low resolution, thus fewer squares on the grid, and each square limited to how much information it can show, the distant scene might look a bit blurry and undefined until you get closer. At a higher resolution we've got more squares to display information, so we can see greater definition in the trees, grass, enemies, and so on.
Thanks!
That makes a lot of sense. So, essentially a higher aspect ratio means higher levels of detail and sharper image quality.
I've also heard that the size of the TV matters as well. I have a 22" 1080p TV, but a lot of people have told me that you'd need at least 32" to notice a difference between aspect ratios.
I don't really plan on upgrading my TV until I move out -- which won't be for another 4 years or so anywhoo.
Oh alright, thanks for clearing that up!Aspect ratio is different to resolution. Aspect ratio is just a term to describe image width to height ratio. It doesnt really have a baring on image quality. Resolution is what you're talking about.
And size of display and obviousness of 1080p depends on how far away you sit. A small screen over a long distance will be less obvious. But a small screen right near your face, like on a pc, will be very obvious.

Worldwide? =_= can I really video chat with a JP/EU Wii U from US?
hmmm... Choo freaken Choo
Pre Order the Basic, and check in a little while at a store if they got new Premium bundle and than switch the Basic to the Premium.
The set of three stands is going to be $20 when sold separately. If you want NintendoLand and the stands I would hold off. You'll not only be saving $30 after buying the stands and NintendoLand separately, but you'll be getting more storage and the digital discount as well.
I was almost in the same situation you are in now (I managed to snag a premium pre-order) and if I was I was going to wait until I could secure a premium and not was my time and money with a basic version.
I would pre-order the basic first, just in case, but make sure to keep looking for premium bundles. As others have said, you will save a decent amount by getting the premium bundle. Newegg hasn't opened up any pre-orders yet, so if you get lucky (and they actually do pre-orders for the Wii U), you may be able to jump on them. I know some gaffers were waiting on NewEgg to open up pre-orders, so there's a legitimate shot that it could work out.

Maxed out on PC the CoD games look quite good, I feel. Very clean, aided by the huge attention to detail from the crazy high production values. They scrub up pretty well, even if they're not technical masterpieces.
Don't do that, for a second I thought he was banned.
That goes without saying
But on consoles its really showing its age, especially when compared to BF3, KZ3 (although that's a different style).
Or maybe that's just me being spoiled by my PC?
UK/EU Dudes: In 9 weeks and 4 days (possibly 8 weeks and 4 Days if weevils rumour is true) we'll be opening our WiiU boxes.
Just think; right now you're console is probably being pieced together.....HYPEGASM!

I'd be more hyped for launch if I actually had something to play on that day besides NSMBU and ZombiU. Messing with the controller and console itself will be plenty enjoyable though.
But god, Bayonetta 2 can't come soon enough.
Nov. 23rd is likely just a mistake, but could there actually be a rational reasoning for moving the release forward? Better to release a week before the christmas month/closer to the US launch as it will generate international press, something like that?
Australian game journalism...
The article then goes on to mention "The new Wii" rather than Wii U
fascinated how people are getting shitmad in the "Famitsu: Wii U region-lock confirmed"-thread. lovely meltdowns.

People have a right to be disappointed in Nintendo's bullshit, no matter how predictable it is.
Aside from those Wii U hardware pics & video, we could also take some gameplay.
Here's Mass Effect 3: http://www.gamereactor.es/noticias/34791/V%EDdeo%3A+Wii+U+expande+Mass+Effect+3/ (some out of focus gameplay included )
TBH, I was expecting way less than that. Game looks good (way better than other launch ports), Wii U features actually fit and switching from TV to Off-TV mode is immediate, as you can see. Rather impressive IMO.
I also liked TTT2 current status. Ninja Gaiden was fluent too.

I posted this in another thread last night, but there seems to be an EU release date discrepancy - certain web ads are stating 23rd November - that's a whole week earlier.

These people will be mad for years to come.People have a right to be disappointed in Nintendo's bullshit, no matter how predictable it is.
With "Nntendo´s " starts the problem. Its not only them, but talking like they are the only ones is just plain dumb.
Great video. If you were present during the gameplay, can you confirm that Mass Effect 3 does in fact run at 30 fps, and not 60 as rumored?
Yea that shit gets old after awhile. Not saying people cant get mad but its like being a fan of a bad sports team when they lose. Like really? You knew it was coming.
