"I came across"...
I dont understand what the point is in a small box if it is noisy.
People here shit on the PS4s fans but playing a game the WiiU is by and large the noisiest console of the 3.
Such a backwards way of thinking.
I just explained that. Bugs, incomplete SDK, incomplete documentation.These were developers that were making launch games for the wiiu, they seem to think the hardware is worse, which kinda explain all the bad 360/ps3 ports.

Ninjablade, honest question, what makes you hate the WiiU so much?
I see you in most positive Wii U threads as lone negative voice and in negative threads as one of the loudest voices.
There is no new information in this link. And it has been discussed to death. Everyone knows the Wii U is not as powerful as the PS4 and XBox One and in some ways (though not all ways) not as powerful as the PS3 and 360.
Why does it bother you that people still enjoy the system and it's games? Why is it so troubling that some people think the Wii U games are fun and actually look good (at least to them)?
Sony and MS got the sales. They won that contest. Wii U owners know this.
Why can't you let people enjoy what they are enjoying? Why nerco negative threads and sentiments.
I am not saying this to be mean. I really am just wondering what makes you (or anyone hyper-critical of any console) care so much? I actually want to know.
I get juniored for an ill advised thread title but he continues to shit up WiiU and Bayonetta threads. Feels awesome.lol Ninjablade you have a real hatred for the Wii U, it hurts you to see anything positive about it huh.
This thread is pretty old, and your quotes were from around the same time as the Wii U's launch. So don't act like its new news to bump this thread.
no shit they were from the wiiu launch but of course this thread and those quotes go hand in hand to back each other up. They were also never brought up in this thread.
I know this is a very old thread but i found An interesting story I came across backing up these number by developer's before the wiiu even came out.

They were never brought up here because most people knew that outdated article wasn't true at this point. As said in the other thread. The time devs were calling the Wii U weak was only at launch and that was do poor documentation and absent support from Nintendo. Some of them didn't even know they were only using one core of the CPU. No known dev has ever stated the Wii U has less graphical power than the 360 or PS3. Even the one that bashed the Wii U on Eurogamer said the GPU had more power.
There have already been plenty of dev who have corrected those misconceptions about what the Wii U can and cannot do. It has been acknowledged and proven as stronger than the last gen consoles multiple times since launch by multiple known devs. Stop beating a dead horse.
what? Everybody here pretty much agrees the wiiu has a 176 Gflops GPU, Well maybe except for you.
What does that have to do with anything I just said?
Also, the 176 Gflops theory rest on the GPU also having fixed function shaders that give it far more performance. Its not simply a 176 /end capability. I pointed this out when you went on that tirade in my PM box using this exact thread and the exact same arguments.
I don't hate the wiiu, I do think the hardware sucks for a next generation console. I always loved Mario platformers and Zelda and even said the wiiu has the best exclusives. I just hate when people make up stuff about he graphics being way better then lastgen cause they don't wanna except the fact Nintendo gave them hardware on par with last gen consoles, And honestly the lazy dev part about every wiiu port was annoying as hell, they blame the dev but can't blame Nintendo for the weak hardware.
fixed function is just wishful speculation, but you can think what ever you like. I already know who to trust when it comes to tech head's and sorry you're Cleary not one.
That's an extremely shortsighted way to look at the situation, and I'm saying this as someone who doesn't like Nintendo or their practices.I don't hate the wiiu, I do think the hardware sucks for a next generation console.
176 Gflops is just speculation
Lol you think neogaf would allow this thread to exist if it was just speculation. the 176 Gflops count is pretty much a fact.
Hey guys i just played bayonetta 2 and it was really fun.
The only thing noisy about my Wii U is the disc drive. When playing digital download games the console is silent.I dont understand what the point is in a small box if it is noisy.

While the actual listed specs do not mention these exact numbers
Its only fact assuming the rest of what I pointed out was true. The theory is that its either 160 ALU(176 Gflops) with fixed function shaders taking up the rest of the space in the ALU or its 320 ALU(352 Gflops).Again this is a rumor. But I wanted to draw more attention to it in the hope that others out there could confirm or deny the hardware downgrade.
It's not like we had like 4 thread of Wii U speculation hardware ?
I think thats probably a good move.Its only fact assuming the rest of what I pointed out was true. The theory is that its either 160 ALU(176 Gflops) with fixed function shaders taking up the rest of the space in the ALU or its 320 ALU.
I'm not going to continue repeating the same things which you just complete ignore entirely.
yea that's when we had GPU die pics, tech heads were trying to figure out the flop count, this thread was based on a leaked development document and had mod approval.
Seriously WTF does bayoneta 2 have to do with this discussion.
Seriously WTF does bayoneta 2 have to do with this discussion.
My point isn't that this is wrong. I think that Wii U GPU has 160 ALUs indeed. My point was that you claimed that it wouldn't be here if it was speculation.
And I'd say that, as of today, we still don't know some things about this GPU.
Its possibly to do with the fact you necrobumped an old threat to shit on the WiiU which is pumping out a slew of high quality titles such as Bayonetta 2 and folks have a hunch your a tad salty that the object of your hatred is gaining in popularity.Seriously WTF does bayoneta 2 have to do with this discussion.
I think thats probably a good move.

It seems to me this depends on the game.The only thing noisy about my Wii U is the disc drive.
