#178349 Lego City Undercover release date here...

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 02 March 2013 - 03:47 PM

Here's a nice trailer I seemed to have missed myself.

The more I read and watch about this game the more I want to have it.




#177243 Exactly how large is the power gap between the Wii U and the PS4?

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 27 February 2013 - 04:59 PM

Tbh this kind of reminds me of the ps3 hype over the 360 after both 2005 conferences revealed them and most people were thinking that the ps3 was going to blow the 360 away and the thrid party games were going to be better looking on that system...  We all know how that turned out.  This is just a wait-n-see how dev are going to take advantage of the systems they develop for and I honestly believe Wii U games will look just as amazing as ps4 but what do I know I'm not a dev .



True, as others have pointed out before, diminishing returns is gonna bite em in the ass.


#177094 Wii U sales fall below PS Vita's for the first time

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 27 February 2013 - 11:48 AM

30 million by the end of 2013 is essentially impossible

Only two consoles even have a LIFETIME mark of over 30 million sales in Japan (DS and GB).



I was talking worldwide and I wasn't being very serious :P


#177080 PS4 launch=Wii U price cut?

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 27 February 2013 - 11:10 AM

And I like the idea of delivering download versions of the games with the console bundle as a money saver.


That would be nice, a big title and maybe some small eshop or virtual console games pre-installed.



#177004 What new nintendo IP do you want to see

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 27 February 2013 - 06:09 AM

I'd love to see an extremely brutal dark humour action adventure game.
Think Conker's Bad Fur Day taken past its limits and with added gore.
Something with a ruthless koala bounty hunter,... who works for the government,... in the jungle,...

And for a company that even lies about its third party support, you cant expect much really.

I want to say I'm surprised, but I'm really not. SONY lies and over-hypes all the time.



#176760 What is Retro Studios Working on?

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 26 February 2013 - 03:47 PM

The fact that "stylized" graphics were mentioned scares me. When Nintendo did a cartoonish Zelda I was 100% on board. That universe fits the sylized cartoonish look very well, but when you start talking about a cartoonish Metroid game, you've lost me. The Metroid franchise just works best with realistic graphics, and an epic story.

If Retro is working on a Metroid game, and it turns out to be a "stylized" game, I will have a very hard time justifying the purchase. I will probably buy it and I might even enjoy it, but unless they can really impress me with gameplay/story I will find it hard to get past the cartoonish look.


How does stylized = cartoonish? It just means non realistic, like a fantasy world, like the Metroid universe.



#176732 What is Retro Studios Working on?

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 26 February 2013 - 03:06 PM

It would be a more "logical" project for them to work on as well tbh. In the end I think I don't actually care what they are working on, I expect it to be awesome anyway.


#176577 Do you think nintendo can get enough 3rd party support

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 26 February 2013 - 10:53 AM

Lego Batman 2 is heading to Wii U in the spring it seems, another late port but at least its support?


#176538 PS4 launch=Wii U price cut?

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 26 February 2013 - 09:33 AM

Good point, I am not counting added software into the price. ^_^  I do think their bundles are good value currently though and wish I would of held out for the zombi U with pro controller, but i dont mind since i had it at launch :laugh:


Aye, they are, but as I haven't bought one yet, I hope my Retro Studio predictions/hopes come true though, for even better value ^^

That's some technical stuff right there, nice.

Devin Townsend is awesome. I used to listen to his old band Strapping Young Lad. They were pretty cool.


Yeh SYL was in my set list back in the days I was raiding in WoW ^^


#176104 Aliens release now 31/5/13?

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 25 February 2013 - 12:40 PM

Oh dear, looks like this game did get cancelled. I still can't belive GearBox lied :(


Still looks like it'll be released in March as far as I know.
I am interested in how much truth there is in the AMA with the so called tester, his identity was verified before everything was deleted. If all he said was true could see a nice lawsuit coming up.


#110835 I just can't support most of the launch titles...

Posted by TheSparrow87 on 20 September 2012 - 10:21 PM

Rather confused about this thread tbh.

Why would you pre-order games in the first place if you don't like em?
Looks like you didn't even check what the launch games were, or check out the games before forming an opinion about them.
Also, imho, this is one of the best launch line ups I've seen. Not all the games appeal directly to me but there is something for everyone to try and quite a few highly rated or anticipated games.

As other people have said before (like Crackkat above me as I was typing this). Third parties been struggling selling games on Nintendo consoles because of releases from games like Mario and Zelda. Leaving out the big guns and having Pikmin only available at the end of the launch window this allows 3rd parties to showcase their games.

and now adjust for inflation and the Wii U becomes a bargain ^^
