Vigil needs to shut up about the Wii U's power. There is no point in trying to hype people up with vague stuff. Nintendo can also fuck off with their secretive shit.

VLTTP: It's like Wimbledon started early with these threads . . . . . Ace i expected better!

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
This has not been there stance since the past administration change, what, 8 years ago?
They'll always take the more profitable route. They simply don't have other business units to support them, so they have to keep margins in mind more than other companies in their space.

It's a pretty vague comment, not saying much that's new, what do you expect?

Because the other Vigil quote was pretty vague as well and that thread exploded.

So both comments are vague, but this one more than the other, this thread in particular is saying nothing new, it's seems like a formula for small thread.
The game director's comment was far more vague than this one
Both wereVariantX said:

Don't agree, what he said in the interview felt like another common "very powerful" point we've been hearing for a while.
I can see the tone of this thread has been established.
So what you're saying is that the Wii was the only Nintendo home console where there was a drastic difference between Nintendo hardware's power in comparison to the power of competing consoles? So because Nintendo released one console that was significantly less powerful, that means Nintendo will always go that route?
I don't disagree about them taking the more profitable route. But profitability doesn't indicate the Wii U will be a super weak machine.
They talked it up last E3 and even got Darksiders II running on it in five weeks. They've been one of the few developers actually working on a game to comment on it, and their comments almost never match! :lol
Oh, but let's just focus on the phrase "pretty powerful" since that is vague enough to be twisted into our preconceived notions.

Compared to what?

If you're inferring I'm a fanboy of any particular system do some fact-checking.
I made that comment because they were BOTH vague statements.
It's not about my agenda. The only reason I say it's ridiculous is because Microsoft already makes the Xbox360. There's your Xbox Lite. Unless they're making a family console they can sell for like $40, it's pointless.

No, I'm sure. Maybe you overheard Mr. Fanboy Troll and misinterpreted?
This. "Pretty powerful" is obviously vague, but that bolded part is not.
Vigil never even worked on Wii, so no.
You don't know that at all. They never shipped a game on Wii is more accurate.

In case you're not just being facetious, I'll only entertain this notion if you can find a piece of evidence supporting it.

Seems pretty likely that the power relationship between the wii u and the forthcoming systems is going to be comparable to the relationship between the Wii and the 360/PS3. Which is fine, as 360/PS3 games with great art direction look great, and will continue to look great in 5 years. ULTRA-GRITTY realistic shooters and what not are going to look noticeably worse compared to the new stuff, probably, but who cares. This is assuming the newer stuff will even look much better. As always, if there are great games that I want to play on the Wii U, I will buy it, if not, I won't. How many fold more powerful it is than whatever else is not really of concern to me.
Obviously people here need the Wii U to not be any more capable than the 360 or PS3. Like they have something invested in that being the case. Sounds like a personal problem. People just need to chill and quit it with all the hyperbole.
And it's not even like the Wii U Speculation Thread regulars are talking about some massive, mind-bending upgrade or anything. It's enough to run games at a smoother framerate with more details and effects, but not so much that it'll cost a fortune, or drive game devs into bankruptcy trying to max out.

You don't have any evidence to disprove it.

Who would need something like that? Can't see why someone would want some consoles not to evolve over this gen. Man, most of your posts always seem to be about everyone else being a fanboy and disliking Nintendo.

Come to think about it, why did he use "pretty" in pretty powerful? If it was really more than "on par"* then he would have used "very" or "much more" or something like that, not pretty.
*On par as in PS3 is on par with 360 despite being more powerful.

For the record (because I feel I have to say this every single time), I don't think Wii U is going to greatly exceed this gen's capabilities.

Hehe. I like how people try to spin what was said based on who made the topic.
Stay classy GAF.
Stay thirsty my friends.
I didn't say "everyone." If it doesn't apply to you, then don't apply it to yourself. The people I'm talking about know who they are.
Also, "most" of my posts are "always" about fanboys? Really?
It's already portable with the next MS and Sony consoles. Just like MS and Sony's current consoles are portable with high end PC releases. Whether publishers *choose* to port content is a different story.
Sony will be building a pretty powerful machine next gen (at least, as powerful as you can within the standard console TDP limit). That doesn't mean they're going to go crazy and take massive losses on it to do so. They don't have the same leeway they did with the PS3 and the hardware designers are being kept on a much tighter leash.
Yes, because Nintendo fans are the only people spinning. How bout this:
None of the next gen consoles are going to end up as powerful as my current gaming rig. I can assure you that's a fact. Does that mean they're all going to be disappointing to everyone on this board? Or can people around here be more reasonable and accept them for what they are?

As if the last incredible vague Vigil statement was more substantial than this one? Please... This thread won't go but 4 pages at most, not enough doom and gloom for the hungry GAF fiends.

You think it's not? This quote doesn't even say what they're comparing the WiiU in power too. The last thread had that.
