Need for Speed: Most Wanted Wii U Demo!Dat EA support.[Alex Ward of Criterion Games]
- Thread starter Malvingt2
- Start date
It's a very fun game but just be dubious about pre-ordering. I'd wait till it's been confirmed not to have big issues and is running how you'd like it to. Polish could just be waiting for userbase growth.
They haven't exactly been supporting this that well across the platforms (although there aren't major issues, just a few minor things that really annoy me, might be specific to the Vita version anyway), no improvements or fixes that I'd liked to have seen.
Despite it being a good game, Criterion no longer have me buying with confidence like they used to.
6 instead of 8 probably due to cpu limits but I wouldn't worry, should be a lot of fun and less frustrating

"The Wii U port pulls in the PC assets and immediately sports a much longer draw distance and better frame rate than its console cousins."
Sold....after reading this part about the framerate.

that he is sold or that the WiiU version is the prettiest console version? The answer to the latter is WiiU's internal Pikmin
I'm thinking budget and time are also two equally important factors here as well. Just exactly how much time was available to developers after they got their hands on the finalized hardware in the dev kits?

It's refreshing to see a developer actually put some effort into a Nintendo port, I'm definitely planning on picking it up.

I was NOT planning on buying this game, truly. However, I have an unspoken for 60$ which was going to be put to use elsewhere, not anymore.
What a tremendous attitude the folks at Criterion have, and that video impressed me enough to give them my 60$.

That is exactly what I was saying. If he has a dilemma about buying EA games, change his view to not buy shitty ones. Therefore, buy this one.
Man I want to see a side by side of this against PS3 or 360 to get an idea as to what they changed as I have no idea if it looks any different.
He actually says at about 9:16 they're using the textures from the high-end PC version of the game. Nice.
Only 6 player online though, weird.
Its impressive the sense of speed it gives even at 30fps.. feels almost like 60fps!
dont kill me!

So, trend is for developers who worked on the ports to produce parity/surpass? (Trine 2) Although Mass Effect is somewhat of an exception, with that being better than PS3, but not 360, and being ported by Straight Right. Any other examples of the original team/developers working on Wii U that I'm forgetting?
that is a good question.. No idea.

It wasn't solid news, and no, the port wasn't anywhere near to close to final.
Stop repeating those "insider" "solid news" because they aren't right. The port was developed afterwards, I can assure you.

hope the devs will go on miiverse and interact w/ the fans
the dev in the video actually says "on wiiu it is by far the best looking version of the game" no qualifier was used. I think even says somethign similar saying the night time lighting is much better as well, on any platform. He could have easily forgotten to say "console version" though...
And I think I read a comment saying the PC version wasn't that hot. But I guess we will see.

FYI: In the other video recently posted he does say "console version".

Great to hear, I haven't been a fan of Criterion for a while now but this 'making an actual effort' thing deserves kudos (and sales).
Yep Burnout 2 in 2003 was their last Nintendo game. Can't believe its been this long.

In the Gamespot video, he confirms the March 19th release date which means this, Monster Hunter, and LEGO City all pretty much at the same time.

Not good, I don't know if my wallet can handle that kind of stress.
March is usually the end of financial quarters or fiscal years or whatever.... I'm not going to pretend to know the actual term
No. Don't think you can here.. £40 is about fair though...£50 come on.

best explanation of co-driver in video form so far (should be added to OP)
since the co-driver using the gamepad also can control the car I wonder if you can just used co-driver as a Single player experience?
I don't have anyone here that will help me I guess I could find a way to use both, seems like a nice little Godmode feature if you can control the car off the gamepad in that mode
cannot wait

If I hadn't already played the hell out of this game on Vita I'd pick this up. I love how Criterion always seem to put in the maximum effort that they can for each platform, regardless of audience/userbase/sales potential etc (Vita, Wii U). Nice to see.

I'm going to support this game regardless but I am holding off pre-ordering the disc until we know of the eShop fate for this, hope they go both ways.
I know my eShop support is not counted on NPD but I love my digital laziness
I don't put much play time into ME3 and codBO2 and Nintendo Land due to this crazy laziness I have lol
this game needs eShop digital it screams it

agreed. but I'm keeping my pre-order in the hope I get that sick custom Caterham that was the pre-order bonus for the 360/PS3 versions. If not, I'll just cancel the pre-order
All games that support off screen play should be available digitally.
