#144539 Just sold my Wii U!

Posted by backudog on 06 December 2012 - 10:09 AM in Wii U Hardware

I bought mine soley for ZombiU, once i finish that, the U will just sit there until something else appears that i like the look of, maybe i'll download and play some classic snes or n64 games from the eshop, but other than that it'll just sit there. But i wouldn't sell it! that way madness lies! cancelling your pre ordered U i can understand, why buy something you wont use just yet? but sell it days after buying it?!? WHAAAAAA??? :D



#140364 Wii U clock speeds are found by marcan

Posted by backudog on 29 November 2012 - 09:46 AM in Wii U Hardware

It'll be interesting to see how it copes with "Aliens colonial marines" when its released, as that looks like its a pretty graphics and possibly cpu intensive game , also didn't the developer say the U version will look the best? if its cpu is as slow as the specs seem to suggest compared to the other 2 consoles, that'll be a pretty good test.....won't it? Maybe this hacker fella can run some sort of test when the U is running a game? see what results that gives?



#145560 Age of wii u buyers

Posted by backudog on 08 December 2012 - 01:02 PM in Wii U Hardware

38 here too. No COD BLOPS2 for me though, not my cup of tea I'm afraid.



#120549 Launch day: What are you buying?

Posted by backudog on 22 October 2012 - 08:03 PM in Wii U Hardware

premium console, and zombieU. then will rent other titles from Lovefilm. Also have been saving up instore credit from CEX (got about £150 so far) and will  buy must have games, controllers etc from there. :D



#153176 Wii U could more than double power consumption?

Posted by backudog on 28 December 2012 - 01:56 PM in Wii U Hardware

Well I for one appreciate the lower watt usage. The PS3 eats power and with that makes a hell of a racket. Only surpassed by the Xbox which is almost unbearable. The Wii U is nice and quiet which I like.

As has been said else where, the Wii U is much more efficient with its processors than the other consoles. I wait to see its true potential.


A lot of people say that, have you all got the older models or something? coz my slim 360 (you know..the shiny black one) is whisper quiet when im playing it?! my PC on the other hand has 3 x 120mm case fans plus the cpu fan and graphics card fans and psu fan which when they all get going is almost distractingly noisey, not hugely loud but very whirry (yeah thats a word!).



#188123 Lego City Undercover ?

Posted by backudog on 30 March 2013 - 06:07 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Loving it so far, even with the occasionally bad camera angles and the rare glitch (best one yet was after doing an impressively large stunt jump as the car landed it glitches through the road, I was ejected from it and ended kind of swimming UNDER the city! really wish I had remembered to take a screenshot, was pretty funny.),& a slightly shonky framerate, but even with those this game is great fun!



#189808 Lego City Undercover ?

Posted by backudog on 03 April 2013 - 02:22 PM in Wii U Games and Software

How many chapters are in it? I am like ch 6 I think 


I think there's 15 maybe 16, but of course you can go back afterwards to any level to get any collectables you may have missed too.

#172339 Official Wii U specs and technical discussions thread

Posted by backudog on 17 February 2013 - 07:07 AM in Wii U Hardware

Nice work. Just have one thing to add. Its performance compared to xenon varies depending on what you are measuring.

Sure enough if you are looking at flops or simd, whetstones performance, its not up to snuff compared to 360 (then again neither is durango) If you are talking dhrystones, gl gamecode, ai, tricky branchy stuff, espresso mauls xenon like a polar bear mauls a baby seal wrapped in bacon.

Mmmmm...baby seal wrapped in bacon *drools*



#130078 Anybody who wont get wii U at launch day?

Posted by backudog on 15 November 2012 - 12:56 PM in Wii U Hardware

Knowing my luck, my pre-ordered U won't arrive on launch day (hopefully it will).

#125971 Up or Down How will You Wii U

Posted by backudog on 08 November 2012 - 10:07 AM in Wii U Hardware

Laying flat, but raised up off the shelf on small rubber or cork pads (i'll have to make) a little, so gets good air flow all around it (even under it)



#150483 Official XBox 720 and Playstation Omni specs and technical discussions thread

Posted by backudog on 21 December 2012 - 10:23 AM in General Gaming

I'll be sticking with me wiiU BUT im def getting the new xbox too, coz ive enjoyed the games on the original xbox and 360 so cant see why i wont enjoy the new one and what ever games are released on it.

He's an id cofounder


tbh ive never noticed the diff between 30 and 60 fps? im more interested in whether the new systems will finally get rid of texture pop in / up and jaggies?

#145295 Developers Finally Revealing some of Wii U specs

Posted by backudog on 07 December 2012 - 09:41 PM in Wii U Hardware

tbh i dont think we'll ever get official specs from nintendo, as thats not how the roll...erm thats what the kids say nowadays isn't it lol?, ninty aren't all about specs and power etc they are about the games and the consumer having fun. Although i AM a huge graphics whore as long as the wiiU has fun games that i like the look of then im pretty happy with it (ZombiU is schweeeet!), if i want stonking graphics i'll be getting a 720 or whatever it'll be called to feed my craving, coz most games i've liked so far this gen have been on the 360. if people need a graphical comparrison between the systems then i think we'll be waiting awhile yet, developers need time to get the most out of new tech, maybe if Watch Dogs is released on the U as well as current gen that'd be a good comparrison.



#148312 Official XBox 720 and Playstation Omni specs and technical discussions thread

Posted by backudog on 15 December 2012 - 11:27 AM in General Gaming

I'm hoping the Xbox has at least 8gb, coz I'm sick n tired of seeing textures popping into view in games, and hopefully with 8 gb maybe devs will be able to load enough textures in so we never see it again! Assuming that's how it works? Never been all that up on how these things work.



#146264 Nintendo Left Behind in Innovation?

Posted by backudog on 10 December 2012 - 09:45 AM in General Gaming

I will definately be getting a 720 when its released no matter what as i've owned an xbox and a 360, and pretty much all the games i've liked the look of this generation have been on the 360 so i'll stick with them next gen too (well, them and nintendo).

#137356 Developers Have It Wrong, The Wii U Is Powerful, It’s Next Generation Powerful

Posted by backudog on 24 November 2012 - 07:47 AM in Wii U Hardware

I agree, ninty need to reveal a game that ,graphically at least, makes people sit up and go WOAH!, in a good way of course, that shows the U can do stuff the 360 + ps3 can't. THEN maybe the doomsayers n haters will shut the hell up!
