Microsoft, defiantly. Didn't watch EA so don't know, and Sony is yet to be seen.

You know what would be funny?... Ubisoft saying they want to be the number one third party game company for Wii U and then announcing a new badass IP skipping (ironically) Wii U

 

[IdeaMan]

for the launch date, we need to know how long before the Wii release, developers got the "final form" Wii dev kits, the luigi one with the green faceplate.

the fact that third-parties received the equivalent of those Wii dev kits, for Wii U, a few weeks ago, could be another hint on the system launch date

No Watch Dogs, Splinter Cell, or Far Cry 3 for the Wii U. Isn't it awesome how third party is jumping on board with the Wii U? Nintendo's going to have to do a lot to convince me the Wii U won't end up being the Wii/GC in terms of third party.

Thanks, that thread completely flew over my head.

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

WTF at that. Are we supposed to feel fairly treated by the absence of Far Cry/Splineter Cell/Watch Dogs because Rayman is now exclusive? That's weak.

Well, not even 24 hours to find out for certain what is going on. If that does hold true though it would just be Ubisoft being Ubisoft.

I don't know, I thought it was quite hilarious when they said that about the Wii and then proceeded to crap out half a dozen broken Xbox ports to satisfy that goal.

 

[thefro]

The 8 titles they announced are all "launch window". I can't imagine they're going to release 8 Wii U games in the first 2-3 months and stop supporting the system

I will be fake internet dollars Rayman is not an exclusive.

 

[bachikarn]

Pretty disappointed Watch Dogs might not be on the Wii U. Not a great sign.

 

[IdeaMan]

ZombiU will be very fun guys, don't worry too much. For the aesthetics, i'm not sure, but for the gamedesign, the ideas, the utilization of Wii U features, the asymmetric gameplay, we will be pleased and served

 

[Fantastical]

How's that even possible?

There are 2 big Ninty conferences.

They will be good, people.

Long ass boring demos of 3rd party multiplats. Wii U Sports demo. Other bullshit.

It's possible. On the other hand, I hope 1st party software is fantastic.

Pretty disappointed Watch Dogs might not be on the Wii U. Not a great sign.

I hope Ubi is working on it now. It would suck not to get a game that looks that good.

 

[Effect]

If gameplay for ZombiU holds up I might be interested. Ubisoft has tomorrow to sell me on it.

 

[Gahiggidy]

I personally think Ubisoft is bullshitting about Watch Dogs on 360/PS3. I think they are making it for next gen platforms, but want to get those customer bases following the game's development.

Early October launch? September?

The footage was from the PC version they admitted. So I wouldn't be surprised if it is for those other systems. Though it could seriously be toned down for the PS3/360. I just hope there is a Wii U version and it looks like the PC version.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

When they show Star Fox Wii U, all potential problems will go away.

Still, can't even get Far Cry 3, WTF. I was kinda hoping they would wash the bad taste out of my mouth from Far Cry Vengeance

The details form the press release sound interesting, but really if the game looks ugly then that would be pretty embarrassing.

 

[TunaLover]

So much waiting for nothing =(
No more NDA, or time development excuses, 3rd parties just are not going to big resources behind Wii U. That´s the thing.

 

[Kokonoe]

The most thing i'm anticipating with the U Pad is for it to be hacked to work on PC, and being able to stream your PC on it. Semi-Portable Dolphin Gamecube would be great.

Well, let's see what is announced tomorrow. There was clearly a NDA for non Ubisoft stuff. But I'm not particularly encouraged.

 

[Roo]

I'm pretty sure it will get the Wii U logo tomorrow. I mean hacking with a phone and maybe the PC screams for the tablet.

Hmmm... interesting
now that I think about it, possibilities are endless :O

 

[ozfunghi]

could ideaman reconfirm the 2 controllers info? According to a ubiquote, it doesn't. Though to me it's not clear if the quote is about the console or a specific game.

Well, after suffering Wii graphics for 6 years, buying mediocre looking games on what is supposed to be the most powerful console at the moment, is not an option. Sorry. If they can't bring decent graphics to a platform exclusive game, fuck it.

Someone here stalked LinkedIn profiles and found out that people kept leaving the Killer Freaks project. Doesn't bode well that it will be any good.

This and that they pulled people from all over the place to work on it.

So did they not have a dedicated team working on it?

According to some LinkedIn digging done by bg, I don't think so.

 

[Chet Rippo]

It's because of no avatars that we're getting worried.

Don't forget all those many months of hype, friends! Everything will be fine.

I no longer think it is even possible for Nintendo to not "win" E3.

 

[Krev]

Vita is so fucking dead, holy shit.

 

[schuelma]

Vita is so fucking dead, holy shit.

There has to be more than what was shown. Right?

 

[StreetsAhead]

Sony has books.

Nintendoomed.

13 hours. 45 minutes.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Ok we need that mario party gif again...what a snoozefest. My expectations were..idk different?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I am now confident Nintendo will win E3 just by showing Pikmin 3.

 

[schuelma]

Sony ended.

Vita is dead.

No megatons at all.


Nintendo is primed

How well you do isn't based on how many megatons you drop. Sony had a well-rounded conference, with games varied enough that it looks as if Microsoft just released ten consecutive Call of Duty trailers. The only things I really didn't like was that movie that wasn't a game even slightly in the first ten minutes and the excessively long demo of the Wonderbook, which in itself is a cute idea that uses the earlier "Sorcery" demo in a way that'll probably end up being more fun that what we would have otherwise gotten.


edit: With respect to the Vita, they do seem to be stressing their business relationship on the newly renamed PlayStation Mobile now, so that might be telling.

My body is so ill-prepared for Pikmin 3. Even after 8 years...man, I can't wait.

It was ok, Last of Us looks awesome. Just saying the bar for Nintendo to "win" is incredibly low.

And the Vita showing was just sad.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Tomorrow Reggie has to show up and say "my body is ready" and then walk away, and Nintendo has already won E3. Seriously awful conferences from the other 2.

 

[Plinko]

I cannot express my frustration in words right now.

 

[Krev]

I called it. I knew they had nothing to show for Vita.

 

[abstract alien]

Not even going to lie...if The Last of Us is the best a Wii U game could look(assuming it was around the power of the ps3), I am perfectly fine with that. Talk about stunning, and that is on top of having good animation that most games lack.

Same idea here. I've waited too long to settle on stuff that compromises on production.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Nintendo is going to destroy Microsoft and Sony tomorrow and for good reason. I held out hope that Sony would wake up to their current failures but alas, they decided to play stupid and continue down the path of irrelevancy. My response? Bring on the Wii U, assholes. Wii U, 3DS, and PC going forward.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What's EST for the Nintendo 3DS conference?

Yeah Nintendo wil "win" E3 in the first 10 minutes probably. Just one sizzle reel.

 

[volpone]

The fact that Nintendo may demo Zombi tomorrow has me worried.

Sony's conference was pretty good barring that bizarre book game and its extended demo - but there weren't any major revelations.

It's all up to Nintendo now. I need some surprises goddammit.

How about "I am frustrated"?

It was ok, Last of Us looks awesome. Just saying the bar for Nintendo to "win" is incredibly low.

And the Vita showing was just sad.

I liked God of War Ascension, Assassin's Creed: Naval Warfare (which looked tons better than the other AC3 demo we saw), and Last of Us (I thought it was Uncharted on account of all the excessively brutal killing, and because the guy looks like Nathan just didn't shave for a few extra days). They showed a pretty good first party overall variety, and we already know that they'll just get all the big third party titles by default. Nintendo will of course have a great first party selection, but they have to really impress on the third party front to perk up some ears.
