They honestly could've just said they don't know anything if they weren't planning to make anything for it at all in the first place.

Remember when Ken Levine said "yeah, the Wii U's great"? Hmmmm...

 

[Josh5890]

Is it fall yet Nintendo????????

 

[Zyrox]

Having watched the video, this was more like a casual conversation between two friends than an interview between game journalist and company representative. The tone was very jokey and not serious at all. At one point the CDPR guy joked about wanting an intern, preferably female, over 18, multilingual etc. I think you guys are reading a little too much into these statements.

 

[orioto]

How many open-world 60fps games does PS4 have?
Not happening. 1080p at 30fps should be expected though.

Thats's not how it works..

 

[Instro]

If the NX is around PS4 power, can we expect a 1080p 60 fps Zelda NX?

With all the dev time they've had available for the NX version, it doesn't really make sense to do 60fps unless they are putting minimal resources into visually upgrading the game.

I wouldn't bother reading into any statements made about this console unless they are directly saying NX is better than PS4, or better than Neo, or worse than XBO, etc. Vague stuff like this, or Reggie's statement doesn't really mean much. Just expect PS4 level or worse and you'll be fine.

 

[BD1]

Just show us NX Nintendo! Show us!

 

[Fredrik]

You guys realize that everything that Reggie, Ubisoft, and Project Red has said can be true at the same time, right?

Specs don't matter, NX will recapture relapsed Wii gamers, it'll be fantastic.
?

 

[johnnydrama]

I'm here for Yennefer amiibos.

 

[doofy102]

I've honestly never felt so much tension, building up to a console announcement.

 

[jchap]

It's gonna be a long wait this summer for more info

 

[El-Suave]

I've heard the guy making the claims on a few German podcasts. There's a reason the host is doubting he knows much. I would call his remarks educated guesses.

 

[Dmax3901]

I'm here for Yennefer amiibos.

Cartoony Geralt companion for Breath of the Wild via Geralt Amiibo.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Thanks CDPR. Reggie's check is in the mail.

 

[Meesh]

Just show us NX Nintendo! Show us!

They can't, he's shy, guy.

 

[diaspora]

I'm here for Yennefer amiibos.

Spoiler

would buy

 

[skypunch]

I'm here for Yennefer amiibos.

I'm all for some Yen amiibos, but only if we also get Anna Henrietta amiibos too.

 

[johnnydrama]

Cartoony Geralt companion for Breath of the Wild via Geralt Amiibo.

Let's get this shit rolling.

 

[Mr Waluigi]

While In agree with this on the surface...this is CDPR. "I Want to believe!"

What Wii U hype has taught me is "trust nobody, not even yourself".

 

[Vena]

I've heard the guy making the claims on a few German podcasts. There's a reason the host is doubting he knows much. I would call his remarks educated guesses.

My question would be what reason he would have to do such a thing, lol. He doesn't work for Nintendo nor does his company hang in the balance based on their performance.

 

[doofy102]

Is it fall yet Nintendo????????

Did Nintendo say we're seeing the NX in fall?

 

[Nikodemos]

Cartoony Geralt companion for Breath of the Wild via Geralt Amiibo.

It's all fun and games 'till Geralt agricultural-euphemisms Zelda.

 

[Ostinatto]

How many open-world 60fps games does PS4 have?
Not happening. 1080p at 30fps should be expected though.

But non of the PS4 open world games, have cartoonish cel shading graphics.

 

[Kandinsky]

Did Nintendo say we're seeing the NX in fall?

They did say this year, and this is Nintendo so probably Dec 31, yes.

 

[Not]

No way it's more powerful than Scorpio

Sorry we're talking about Nintendo here

It depends on how big of a performance update the NX version will receive. I'm rather surprised that Nintendo confirmed thay the NX version would have better visuals. Performance wise I'd like to see Nintendo improve the field of view(some things popped up only a few meters away), Improved polygonal structures(there were some cliff shots that polygonally looked like TP but the textures were really good to help disguise it),improved shading techniques to help enhance the art style of the game, 60FPS, and 1080P. I'd love a bigger visual upgrade but I'm not sure how much work Nintendo is going to put into enhancing the visuals for the NX version and they may prioritize more stability in terms of FPS and 1080P support over pushing the system to its limits and sacrificing FPS or full HD support.

 

[Serenitynow]

So Ubisoft, Take Two, and now CD Projekt Red all think NX has the potential to be big

 

[ChaosZeroX]

they say it will be good, but I doubt they port anything to it lol

 

[El-Suave]

My question would be what reason he would have to do such a thing, lol. He doesn't work for Nintendo nor does his company hang in the balance based on their performance.

I don't know - the conversation was pretty casual, every games media person in Germany knows this guy for years. I don't want to insult him, I'm not a part of the games industry so I'm not in the place to truly judge him. Let's say the best thing that can happen from this is that the story blows up in the US and worldwide and CDPR is forced to make some kind of statement.

 

[Lucumo]

I think what he was indicating is that Nintendo doesn't have the same leverage to get costs down as Microsoft or Sony, likely because of existing industrial contracts and knowing the right people. Nintendo is large, but not as large as Sony and Microsoft when you take into account all their non-gaming products.

Yep, was about to explain that as well. That statement was in relation to the rhetorical question that he made (whether it will be affordable for the masses).

 

[Dark Cloud]

No way it's more powerful than Scorpio

Sorry we're talking about Nintendo here

Nobody is saying that nor should they waste their money trying to be more powerful than Scorpio. Since games made for the Scorpio have to be made for X1 then the NX only needs to be in the PS4 range.

 

[Tagg9]

CDPR is the kind of developer who would totally waste resources on an NX port as a gesture of good will and then announce they've miraculously turned a profit one year after release.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition for NX seems likely. Kind of like the early Wii U ports of Batman and Deus Ex.

 

[Torokil]

Please CDPR or anybody, leak this shit already. I'm tired of waiting.

 

[diaspora]

I could see a cross promotion thing with say a Witcher 3 EE on the NX having Link outfits.

 

[Permanently A]

After seeing Zelda, I need to know what the NX is.

Seriously if all the devs have it, then why are there no leaks?

 

[Meesh]

A Witcher 3 Enhanced is exactly the kind of game I'd double dip for personally, while Batman and Deus Ex were passable, just didn't interest me :/

 

[Calm Mind]

The Witcher Collection needs to happen.

 

[DjRalford]

Please CDPR or anybody, leak this shit already. I'm tired of waiting.

ok, ok


It's officially called the "New WiiU" the gamepad is gone and its about 30% more powerful.

Spoiler

The above statement is not factually correct

 

[HawthorneKitty]

After seeing Zelda, I need to know what the NX is.

Seriously if all the devs have it, then why are there no leaks?

Because they aren't on it?

 

[Revolutionary]

It's probably Gwent.

 

[Dmax3901]

It's all fun and games 'till Geralt agricultural-euphemisms Zelda.

 

[Speely]

Nintendo forgot to send the duct tape, so it's taking a while to combine the dev kits.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Did Nintendo say we're seeing the NX in fall?

The Nintendo of Canada President has said fall every one else have said later this year.

 

[skypunch]

I could see a cross promotion thing with say a Witcher 3 EE on the NX having Link outfits.

This kind of stuff really devalues your fanbase. It's like Nintendo is saying their fanbase won't care about the game unless it has Zelda costumes. We're not all as nostalgic about Zelda or as narrow minded as that, lol.

 

[Phediuk]

After seeing Zelda, I need to know what the NX is.

Hmm...probably because they aren't making games for it.

 

[MK_768]

They did say this year, and this is Nintendo so probably Dec 31, yes.

Didn't some rep say the Fall, tho? I want to say someone from Nintendo of Canada said so.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Do developers ever say negative things about upcoming hardware? Epic's "Two gamecubes duct taped together" comments about the Wii excluded.

That wasn't Epic, that was Chris Hecker of Maxis/EA.

 

[Monocle]

Good, that sounds encouraging. I love the Wii U, so if the NX is a big step above that system, I won't complain!
