#58443 Wii U Price Discussion
Posted by NovusRex on 29 January 2012 - 01:47 PM in Wii U Hardware
I'll probably buy it right away if it's between €300,- and €400,-, but I certainly will not go any higher. I can't spend that much and the games themselve are idiotic expensive aswell.
#58435 Wii U Wishlist
Posted by NovusRex on 29 January 2012 - 01:36 PM in Wii U Games and Software
Pokemon main series game. Something that won't happen in the near future, as Nintendo wants to keep the mainseries portable only. However, a full 3d game with a mainstory, with grass where you can find and catch and train pokemon, gym battles, trainers (perhaps even online trainers, in the style of a mmorpg), a beautiful world and landscape.. You name it. I guess many are wishing for something like this, in vain.
Pokemon Snap (yea, pokemon fan aye?). Same as before, a full 3d world where you can go whereever you want, with great interaction with the world and the little creatures who live there. I'd def. buy it.
Mario, in the style of Mario 64. 3d with updated graphics, a new kind of story would be nice and with all the suits and perks we have seen troughout the history of Mario.
Conker, e.g. sequel to Conker's Bad Fur Day. Probably the best game for the N64 ever was this game and darn, we (I!) need a new one. Too bad Rare is in the hands of Microsoft, so this one is probably not going to be there aswell.
Descruction Derby 64 sequel. Probably not the best received N64 game, nor very popular. It has great potential, I find racing itself rather boring.. However, race and smash other cars? Darn, that's nice! Something with a lot of potential.
Assassin's Creed series, but these will come to the WiiU. Thank the Lord!
Yugioh series should have a nice game aswell, not some linear 2d animations, but 3d aswell. I'd like that.
Perfect Dark game, yea well.. Who doesn't remember this game? Never played the single player myself (shame on me), so I'd love to have a new chance
Mortal Kombat.. Yea, I need to blow some steam off once in a while. I just hope this game isn't too bloody for Nintendo. I'm a lesser fan of the Street Fighter series, but there are welcome if MK can't make it.
Perhaps an Elder Scrolls game, but I found Skyrim rather... boring when it comes to the story. ES with great story seems good.
Nintendo World Cup-similar game. God I love this game for the NES, unique gameplay, so much fun especially with friends. It's not on Virtual Console so far, so why not make a brand new game? Darn you Nintendo, make it! Create it, build it!
That's it what I came up with right now.. *dreams on*

#58913 PS4 and 720 more powerful than Wii U?
Posted by NovusRex on 01 February 2012 - 04:17 AM in Wii U Hardware
Then there is piracy. which is supposed to damaged the pc-gaming aswell. I don't buy this really, great titles will still sell well on the pc regardless of piracy. When a game has great multiplayer support, chances of buying an original game will increase aswell. It's all about quality really, and marketing ofcourse. I agree that the kinect stuff for pc and laptops seems a bit unnecessary, but perhaps people will like it nevertheless. I don't care much, aslong developers release great titles. Original titles! Creativity, I think that's the thing that destroys pc-gaming at the moment. Lack of creativty, that is. RTS games? Fast-paces FPS shooters like Quake? A high-quality flying simulator? Too many sequels and prequels and stuff nowadays. Battlefield 3, as much as I enjoy playing it, seems like quite an unoriginal game and very buggy aswell. Anno 2012, that should not have happened. The CoD series have gone downhill ever since CoD MW2, in my humble opinion. I still find Assassin's Creed 1 the best in the series, the atmoshpere was just right. Gritty, a bit ugly feeling and graphics really captured the great Medieval world. The sequels were too "pretty" for an Assassin's game (note: with this I don't mean the graphics quality itself, but more the way the environment is pictured) and Revelations didn't add much new stuff to the series, and the multiplayer. I still love it, but it's far, far from perfect.
Anyway, I'm getting rather offtopic here. Shame on me ^^, It's rater amusing though that most ports I actually enjoy. AssCreed is developed for the consoles in mind, not the pc. Fighting games like Street Fighter, likewise. GTA franchise. Battlefield 3, well.. I think that is made with consoles in mind, not the pc. Hence the lack of destruction. I still enjoy it though. CoD games are most definately made with consoles in mind, same with Crysis 2. With consoles in mind, I mena: First priority. In the end it makes sense, that's where the big money is. Still, pc-market is still a great market for game devlopers.

also 1 more story. http://www.xbitlabs....ess_Gaikai.html
Thats bad news for console gamers, and I will not try to guess who may that be.. If its true. Some people who searched this info a bit further, found out, that one of this 3 players in the market (SONY, MS, Nintendo).. Didn’t renewed their contracts.. About something they must do always.. Not into many info about it (but its true). Surelly its not Nintendo, as wii U is almost ready and announced.
So maybe one of the 2 (sony, microsoft), is lying.. Thats totally unofficial info, don’t take it in granted.
Both have reasons to do so, Sony just started after all this years, to have some profits with ps3 and VITA is doing really bad. Microsoft announced that they want to invest in pc gaming! They also announced Kinetic for pc.. Both had hardware failures and overpowered with money loss from the hardware and xbox is not selling much software.. so who knows. Both have the same chances..
I think the article is coming to the wrong conclusion. Nintendo will make a new console, well.. kinda obvious ha? That leaves Sony and Microsoft. Which of those two companies has the most money right now to invest and doesn't have many other priorities? I think that would be Microsoft. Although relatively new to the console market, they know what they are doing and haven't gone wrong so far. The Xbox360 is quite popular in some parts of the world and a new updated console will probably sell well, if they keep it reasonibly prized.
Sony on the other hand have a habit of overpricing hardware, in my opinion. 250-300 dollar/euro for a portable device (vita) is just too much for me. Same goes for the 3DS, I bought it after the price cut, the original price was just too high. 3ds sold rather bad at first, hence the price drop. The 3ds costs now around 170 euro, a big gap compared to the Vita despite being about a year older. The ps3 was overpriced aswell (not when it comes to the profit marge ofcourse, since the production costs were so incredibely high), in aspect to what gamers would pay for a console. The Vita is now even more expensive than a PS3, which seems odd as it's just a handheld console.
If one company would skip a console this gen, my guess it would be Sony. The newsarticle doesn't mean much though, it's rather vague. We'll see what the E3 has to offer.
#58569 PS4 and 720 more powerful than Wii U?
Posted by NovusRex on 30 January 2012 - 04:34 AM in Wii U Hardware
The Xbox, as said, will be more powerfull. The rumours state the same, but well.. They are rumours, so they don't mean that much to me. I'm thinking it will come out at the end of 2013, a year after the WiiU. The difference in power won't be much at all and barely noticable while gaming I think. It's nothing like the Wii compared to the Xbox/PS3,
I couldn't care less though, about which console will be the most powerfull one. It's fun to speculate, but it won't affect my gameplay experience in any way.

This is a picture with the camera view, I like.
The picture is ridiculous hough.
My fav.
I like those, and that bulbasaur pic. Ha, that sort of gameplay would be amazing. Guess it's a dream for most Pokemon fans and whenever discussing the option of a full 3d maingame for the WiiU, that picture pops up. It's what people want, but unfortunatley won't get. Conservative people there at Nintendo. On a sidenote, some people still prefer the mainseries to be handheld only, such as Mootap. I can understand why though, but I think both will work. The mainseries on a portable will always be popular, regardless of a mainseries on a console. That's what I think anyway.
I actually think the battles should be made to be a bit more fluid. So while you're selecting you moves etc, the Pokemon aren't just sitting there waiting, they're having at eachother with simple melee attacks, all being blocked or dodged (because it obviously shouldn't effect the battle, it's just for aesthetics) And when a proper attack is selected, your trainer shouts it out in a dramatic cinematic way, and the Pokemon follows suit.
While a lot of people have idea to move Pokemon away from turn based gameplay, it's that simple gameplay that keeps non-gamers coming back to the series. It's so established as well. It's just not an option, it has to stay turn based. But with my suggestion above, it would possibly look more fluid?
In response to
NovusRex
That's a great idea. The pokemon moving the tail around while waiting for an order is just a bit silly. So yea, simple fighting/moving animations would definately add a lot to the game. It shouldn't be that hard to create actually, and I hope it will happen. The WiiU seems powerfull enough for it, so why not?
I also agree that the games should remain turn-based, that's the whole heart and soul of the pokemon games. Only spinoffs can change this (e.g. Rumble), but mainseries should definately remain turn-based, whether on console or portable.
Btw, got to love Dragonball Z <3

This is a no brainer for everyone on Earth, but for some reason you just KNOW it's not in the cards. There hasn't been a Pokemon RPG (a proper one) on any of the home consoles to date.
BUT, if they were to do one, which they should (it would print money) that would be fantastic. I won't go in to specifics, you all have your own ideas that are probably similar to mine, reason being that it's obviously ridiculously cool to think about a full 3D world where you can see the Pokemon running around, run around with your friends online and hunt Pokemon together, explore, and battle.
Actually on that note, that is one thing I don't think anyone would really think about that I think would make it an amazing game. Exploration. Like, true exploration. A world detailed to the point that you can go on an adventure exploring caves and forests. Something like the ability to run or walk, climb, jump, etc would make this a lot more fun. Using your Pokemon to help you. I'm thinking of something like the climbing in Assassins Creed?
As for an art style I think that they are already on the right track with Battle Revolution.
What about the battle animations with Battle Revolution? I agree the art design itself is good, but the animations weren't really my style. I'm looking forward to a sequel though, or new Stadium, whatever you want to call it. Something that will support both gen IV and V.
About the whole big world 3d-adventure.. yea well.. God wouldn't it be great lol. I guess Nintendo will only make it when they are near bankrupt and use it as their last way out.. Sometimes it's such a shame they are so conservative.

Wait, wait. How the heck does a "Massively Single-Player Online" work?
Something like Star Wars - The Old Republic? It's quite story-driven, so I've heard. That's the closest thing I can come up with with the words "Massively Singe-Player Online" thingy ^^

#59080 Wii U power maybe misleading
Posted by NovusRex on 01 February 2012 - 06:02 PM in Wii U Hardware
GeForce 7900 GT: 623
Radeon HD 4870: 1,740
Radeon HD 4850: 1,333
Radeon HD 4830: 1,254
All-in-Wonder X1800XL: 700 (same architecture was used for the Xbox cards, so I'm guessing it's roughly the same. if anyone knows a better card to compare, please share)
When comparing, it's noticable that the mentioned cards for the WiiU will be roughly 2 times as strong as the ones used in the Ps3 and Xbox (except the 4830, which isn't close to being twice as strong). If the rumours are true (WiiU twice as powerfull as the Xbox 360), the only logical option would be a card like the HD 4870. It's the only card that is actually twice as strong as the Xbox-similar card and the prices between the mentioned HD cards don't vary much at all. The production costs (especially in large orders) should be roughly the same, so to me that's another reason why the 4870 card is the most obvious choice to make. Anyway, that's just my non-professional input lol. Also, the 4870 is the only card that supports 256 bit DDR5, something I bet game developers would prefer over DDR3.
Orion, care to explain what stream processing units actually does/mean? And what do you think is roughly the difference between the 4870 and the 4850 (the cards I think stand the most chance)?
