#89047 Miyamoto Says Wii U “Might Not Be As Powerful” As The Next Xbox And PlayStation
Posted by 10k on 20 June 2012 - 03:21 PM in Wii U Hardware
Yeah the Xbox 360 nailed the balance of power nd price. It was $299 for the basic and $399 for the complete system with wireless controllers and an HDD. It had graphics on par with the PS3 at the beginning of the console era and played DVDs as well while getting all third party games (sometimes the definitive ones too) all while being $200 cheaper than the PS3. It was good value. Too bad Iin Canada it was $100 moreMiyamoto can't answer it since the other companies haven't released there systems. He is also right that they have to balance cost with power. The PS3 couldn't find a good balance and that hurt in the begining. We will have to wait and see how it goes.
#89044 Crytek: Wii U is 'minimum as powerful as Xbox 360'
Posted by 10k on 20 June 2012 - 03:02 PM in Wii U Hardware
Unreal 4 hasn't been released yet lol. It's a next gen engine that can only be ran by a 2011 level GPU. Call ME when you learn something about technology. Just because I am trying to be realistic and keep your hype levels in check doesn't mean you can start insulting me. I insulted nobody. Just because I said something that disagrees with your point of view I get insulted? Grow up dude.UE4 also runs on xbox360 and ps3 downscaled. call me when u actually know something about technology
#88909 Crytek: Wii U is 'minimum as powerful as Xbox 360'
Posted by 10k on 20 June 2012 - 08:37 AM in Wii U Hardware
Cryengine 3 runs on both PS3 and 360 downscaled. It's not next gen. Call me when they say frostbite 2 or unreal 4.So if you DOUBTERS on this site actually read between the lines like I have been saying. He basically said in that interview the Wii U is already running a next gen engine. But I'm sure that isn't good enough for you guys.
#88908 HD TV?
Posted by 10k on 20 June 2012 - 08:34 AM in Wii U Hardware
Go buy yourself a cheap 32" LEDTV that supports 1080p. It will be well worth it.
#88889 What Games Have You Sunk The Most Hours Into?
Posted by 10k on 20 June 2012 - 07:18 AM in General Gaming
I forgot to add Starcraft for PC. Easily 500 plus hours into that game with its addictive multiplayer and user created maps and games.
#88881 What Games Have You Sunk The Most Hours Into?
Posted by 10k on 20 June 2012 - 05:59 AM in General Gaming
1. Pokemon Blue (GameBoy)
I played this game so much when I was in elementary school it got ridiculous. I played it more than all my game boy games combined. At least 200 hours was put into this game by me.
2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)
My first N64 game and first Zelda game ever. This game turned me into a forever fan of the series. I beat the N64 version around 5 or 6 times and if you include the Master Quest and GameCube version and the 3DS version I spent around 200 hours in this game. I spent about 100 on the original version alone.
3. Legend of Dragoon (Playstation)
I only beat this game once, but played it up until disc 4 a few times. Each play thorough was around 50 hours. I sunk about 120 hours into this game and is still in my top 5 RPGs of all time.
4. The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask (Nintendo 64)
I played this game so many times just to explore its huge world and talk to all the characters and do all the side quests. Getting the fierce deity mask and using it against Majora was a high point in my gaming career. I sunk a good 80 hours into this game.
5. Metroid Prime (GameCube)
My favorite in the trilogy, my favorite GameCube game (even better than wind Waker for me) and beat it 5 times plus the wii version for a gameplay time at around 120 hours. Wonderful game.

Hope he pulled that number out of his ass because if not, those are some terrible mathematics.Is it actually $100 that they'll make per console or was that just him throwing out some number off of the top of your head?
Lol thank you its a quote from David Cross (2nd funniest actor in the world behind Sacha Baron Cohen) on the show Arrested Development
#88865 Wii or 360?
Posted by 10k on 20 June 2012 - 03:33 AM in General Gaming
Well mass effect was a big reason why I got a 360 in 2007, that and huge promotion. But you can get mass effect 1 on the PC too so if you want the complete experience, buy the trilogy for PC and sell the Xbox ones like me.Wii.
The only reason being the online payment. I find it a deterrent, and will only submit to it when everyone of the big three are doing it, in which case I'd have no choice.
I already consistently play my PS3, so I don't have to worry about the majority of 3rd party titles in that regard. I also don't care too much about Halo, Gears or Forza. The only thing that Xbox 360 had that PS3 doesn't and that I want to play is Mass Effect... I think.
#88751 Wii or 360?
Posted by 10k on 19 June 2012 - 03:18 PM in General Gaming
Lol same goes to the 360. Halo 4 is not enough of a reason to keep my 360. That's why I traded it for a vita. I still use my Wii and I'm playing all the operation rainfall games and Pikmin 2There's nothing to do on a Wii right now it's not enjoyable as it used to be. I just have to play the same old games.
#88745 Nintendo Offering "Insane Incentives" To Publish on Wii U eShop
Posted by 10k on 19 June 2012 - 03:15 PM in Wii U Games and Software
$100 profit per console? Jesus Christ dude you are optimistic. The Wii only made Nintendo $6 of net income per console lol.Since they'll make around $100 profit on each console they can rest easy giving publishers/developers 80% revenue, the more developers come on board, the more cool games hopefully come on the platform, the more consoles are sold, the more profit Nintendo make
This is great news. Nintendo is slowly growing up and actually improving in areas where their competitors fall flat. Maybe third parties will show up on the Wii U.
#88670 Blizzard Says StarCraft On Wii U "Might Work"

You hit the nail on the head.Well, violence never really bothered me much. Maybe I havn't played the most violent of violent video games though. If there is a "Saw" of the video gaming industry, then I would find that tasteless and pointless.
But violence is fine when placed in context. Mortal Kombat, for example, is supposed to be sort of cartoony or slapstick violence. It kind of makes you laugh when you x-ray break someone's rib cage and then rip their spine out, you know? Everything I've seen in COD and BF have been fine, seeing as their an arcade shooter and war simulation, respectively. And the Assassin's Creed series sort of "realistically" shows how a bad-a** assassin would kill people, which is central to the gameplay. And AC doesn't over do blood by any means.
Mad World for Wii was really violent and really bloody, but it similar to Mortal Kombat in that it was supposed to be over the top and comedic. It's not like it had Uncharted graphics and you were sitting there sawing apart realistic looking human beings.
I'm drawing a blank for more examples....
Games that look realistic and have over the top gore and violence are ninja Gaiden and Metal Gear Rising seems to be over the top too.
#88640 Blizzard Says StarCraft On Wii U "Might Work"

Its like saying how I love chocolate but I also love lobster. Will dipping lobster in chocolate make it more awesome? No, it would make me quite sick actually and ruin my taste for both things forever.
#88228 What happens if the PS4 and 720 are only 2-4x more powerful than Wii U?
Posted by 10k on 17 June 2012 - 04:20 AM in General Gaming
The logic being that the Wii U isn't expected to be powerful enough to run multiplat games of 720/PS4 games. Nintendo spent more money on the controller and is features, so the actual console itself isn't going to be as powerful as the 720 and PS4, two consoles that will use the money on the internal console parts rather than a fancy controller. The differences will be significant enough that the Wii U may not get some multiplat games and it will be this gen all over again.i still dont understand the logic that wii u will lose next gen. in fairness the least powerful hardware have won the past two generations. so wii u could still become the sales leaders. it will be fine. if you look at the information nintendo has said thus far and read between the lines you will understand this console is more than capable from a tech/power/graphics standpoint.
Power is usually measured in consoles by FLOPs, RAM, memory speed, type of memory, number of cores, feature sets, and support for shader models.If something would have 6 times the power of the current gen that would mean like gtx 670 or something. That can run stuff at 2060p 60fps or something.
I think it's about max 1.5-2x times the power of the current gen.
I think the Wii U is about 50-75% stronger than current gen. That's quite good.
Also, Nintendo will never ever release a power house console. Only cause the gamecube didn't sell well. Well I think the gamecube is the best nintendo console all time
For example, the 360's GPU is 250 GFLOPs and in order to run UE4 or a Samaritan demo like game at 720p you need approximately a 1TFLOP GPU (which is 4x the power of the 360). If the Samiritan demo is supposed to be what next gen games look like then the PS4 and 720 will be at minimum 4x more powerful than this gens hd twins.
Of course the latest rumors from neogaf suggest the PS4 and 720 are aiming more for 1.5 TFLOPS GPUs which would smoke Wii U hard.
But, all this talk of power isn't really useful. What hurt the Wii was the lack of support of programmable shaders, which can help make any game look good. The 3DS supports it and that's how RE: Revelations and Super Mario 3D Land look better than some Vita games and Wii games. If the Wii U can support the newest shader models and feature API that supports tesselation and lightning etc, than it will be able to recieve ports of the HD twins next gen. The problem is all signs are pointing to it not being able to get those ports.

#88106 Xbox 720 documents leaked, console is probably $299
Posted by 10k on 16 June 2012 - 11:41 AM in General Gaming
I don't see how the 720 can be 6x the performance of the 360 and cost only $299 especially with Kinect 2 and a tablet like controller.
#87668 sony for wii U
Posted by 10k on 14 June 2012 - 09:46 AM in General Gaming
Agreed. Sony wont want to bleed money, but I think they will take the money it costs to make a tablet controller and use it towards a better GPU and keep a standard controller. They will use the vita to promote tablet like controls instead.It's highly likely at this point that the PS4 will be miles ahead of Wii U hardware wise. You can justify it all you want by saying "Sony is failing" or "Sony doesn't have enough money for a next-gen system", but it's the truth. Nintendo has underpowered the Wii U for the sake of it being cheap. I don't see Sony being willing to overpower PS4 simply because it'd be a waste of money, but they're not going to go Nintendo's route and underpower it. Instead, they'll probably make a middle-ground system that will likely still end up being the most powerful of the next-gen, due to Microsoft's recent focus on the casual audience and motion control over traditional gameplay.
#87665 sony for wii U
Posted by 10k on 14 June 2012 - 09:42 AM in General Gaming
I love Nintendo but nothing I saw at E3 convinced me the Wii U was better or more powerful than the PS3. PS3 has the software this year; Last of Us, God of War Ascension, Beyond, Playstation All-Stars, plus all the big third party games like splinter cell and metal gear rising and aciii.
Wii U has another Mario and Pikmin 3 (which is great, but not enough for a whole year)
