#230208 XBox One or PS4?

Posted by backudog on 09 July 2013 - 11:36 AM in General Gaming

Its not looking good for the x1 if polls on sites like http://www.xboxonevspsfour.com/  are to be believed.




#141068 Nintendo Wii U Setup

Posted by backudog on 30 November 2012 - 02:37 PM in Wii U Hardware

Seriously?!? mine took maybe 20 minutes tops, will bung nintendo land in and see how long that update takes.



#144531 What's 400 Nintendo points worth?

Posted by backudog on 06 December 2012 - 09:50 AM in Wii U Hardware

Just got 1000 points for 4000 stars, (got 850 stars left but stupid "buy 1 lot of points a day" rule means i'll have to "buy" 200 more points over the next 2 days!). But now im not sure which game/games to get? too many choices!

#176930 What games do you want ported to wii u?

Posted by backudog on 26 February 2013 - 08:59 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I'd like to see Slender:the arrival appear on the shop, saw this video and its looks nice and scary!  Also I don't have a PC so the only way I could play it is if it came to console. :(

#179024 Deus Ex: Human Revolution possibly coming out for Wii-U

Posted by backudog on 04 March 2013 - 12:45 PM in Wii U Games and Software

My only hope is that this game comes with 
 
1) PC graphics
2) New content + all previous DLC included.
3) Excellent gamepad usage that enhances the gameplay and doesn't act as a gimmick
4)  Reduced retail price.



This.



#120552 Why I Would Like TES V: Skyrim on Wii U

Posted by backudog on 22 October 2012 - 08:16 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I had it on my 3'60 , I've got it on pc, And would buy it again if it appeared on the U, as long as it was GOTY edition and was graphically superior to the 360 version (that version looked fine, but the U is capable of better ).as thats the version i played the most. also someone should post a link to this topic on bethesdas skyrim forum , so they can see its worth doing!



#211311 Wii U version of RE: Revelations "Visibly Less refine than PS360"

Posted by backudog on 25 May 2013 - 10:57 PM in Wii U Games and Software

How come people seem to b able to pick which looks the best? I've watched all those DF vids full screen in hd and other than the PC/wiiu versions having sharper shadows on the door opening bits, and the ps3 version having slightly toned down colouring on the running to the chopper bit, (check the comparison pics in the article http://www.eurogamer...parison-gallery), they all look exactly the same to me! Exactly the same!!



#221140 Anybody Pre-ordering PS4?

Posted by backudog on 13 June 2013 - 11:17 AM in General Gaming

Pre-ordered mine this morning! 




#154493 First Update

Posted by backudog on 31 December 2012 - 11:31 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm pretty sure mine only took about half an hour, mabe less? My download speed for most things is 7mb/sec usually though so that probably helped.



#132290 Having fun?

Posted by backudog on 18 November 2012 - 11:03 AM in Wii U Hardware

I wouldn't know I don't get mine till the 30th as I'm in the UK, I'm just waiting for news on the specs.


the 30th still seems like a LOOOOONG way off doesn't it? lol, and i too am waiting for someone to post the specs, especially after reading some of the worrying things being posted around the place (not as powerful as we all thought, or as fast etc). After playing Borderlands 2 on my 360 and watching the god awful texture fade / pop in during the game, i pre-ordered a wii U coz i hoped it would be noticably more powerful than 360 and ps3 so wouldn't have to put up with that sort of thing in me wii U games, and also for Zombie U (which is not getting terribly good reviews so far from what i've seen), i hope this isn't going to be a mistake? I'm still excited about getting the U, but all the negatives i've started seeing are taking the shine off it somewhat, i NEED to see true specs for the U, just to put my mind at ease.



#206921 ZombiU 2 prototype development has begun, Ubisoft dev confirms

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!! I bought my wiiu just for zombiU, i love the game, and this is awesome news. Must. Resist. Urge. To. Squeal. Like. A. Girl................eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!        Dammit.




#131800 WiiU GTA V?

Posted by backudog on 17 November 2012 - 09:16 PM in General Gaming

Nintendo doesn't like violent games as much. Plus they don't focus on graphics so the WiiU probably wouldn't be able to handle the game very well.


the wii u ninja gaiden game shows ninty are changing thier attitude to that kinda stuff? so maybe just maybe? as to graphics im pretty sure the U could do it proud.



#131790 WiiU GTA V?

Posted by backudog on 17 November 2012 - 09:04 PM in General Gaming

IGN has posted an interview with Rockstar's Dan Houser about GTA V and although the highlighted sentence is not much it gave me a tiny glimmer of hope, at least its not a "aint gonna happen" type answer.


GTA V: Burning Questions Answered

Rockstar’s Dan Houser explains the ins and outs of the next great leap for the sandbox franchise.

GTA V is only confirmed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Why not the PC, Wii U and so on?

Everything else is up for consideration. That's all I can give you. The main thing is we are not... we are a third-party publisher. We're not Nintendo, we're not Sony, we're not Microsoft. We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever there's the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market. If that's on Apple we put something on Apple. Wherever it might be. I think that's the fun in what we do. We see ourselves as a content company that uses technology. We don't make it; we use it to make the most fun stuff.

#131804 WiiU GTA V?

Posted by backudog on 17 November 2012 - 09:22 PM in General Gaming

Don't forget ZombiU, Darksiders 2, AC3, etc, etc...

I dunno, really. Rockstar has a record of supporting quite a few consoles when it comes to their games, I see no reason why the Wii U would be an exception.


How the heck did i forget ZombieU?!? thats the reason im getting a wiiU!



#184536 Deus EX heading to the Wii u

Posted by backudog on 20 March 2013 - 09:47 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Class game, and a definite buy for me, even though I've played it on my 360. The fact it'll be improved visually and have the dlc on the disc too is the cherry on the cake! Now we just need to know when its coming?



#141509 Your favourite game so far?

Posted by backudog on 01 December 2012 - 12:48 PM in Wii U Games and Software

ZombiU is awesome thats my fave game, ok, so its the ONLY game i have for the U, but still......



#188772 Nintendo: Games will save the Wii U, not a price cut

Posted by backudog on 01 April 2013 - 12:06 AM in Wii U Hardware

We've got, what?, 9 weeks 'til E3? Until we'll finally get to see what Nintendo has up its sleeves, by god that seems like, and I'm sure will feel like, aaaaaggges! If only I could get my time machine finished, I only need 1 more part...the part that actually let's you travel through time...I'm not sure what its called exactly, but no suppliers of scientific equipment that I've phoned seems to stock them?....they just hang up on me......its very unprofessional of them IMO.....



#145297 rayman legends out feb 26 demo out dec 13

Posted by backudog on 07 December 2012 - 09:46 PM in Wii U Games and Software

For me, i'll download the demo, then possibly purchase depending on what its like. the only games so far im DEFINATELY buying for the U are lego city and Aliens .



#153166 Nintendo Force

Posted by backudog on 28 December 2012 - 01:36 PM in General Gaming

I prefer physical copies. I guess Im a hoarder.


Im like that too, digital is ok, but nothing beats having the physical mag in your hands and flicking through the pages. also it just feels wrong reading an ipad on the crapper! :D Im will confess to being a bit of a hoarder when it comes to mags too, got every issue of gamesmaster magazine so far (issues 1 to 260!) and GamesTM mag (issues 1 to130!) dont really need to keep them, but i do lol!



#153185 Nintendo Force

Posted by backudog on 28 December 2012 - 02:04 PM in General Gaming

ahh Gamefan was awesome! couldn't get it that often over here, but the ones i did get were great. similar story with EGM too, pity i got rid of them ages ago, i now have to trawl the 'net to find those if i wanna do a spot of nostalgic reading (found a couple of good sites that host downloadable free copies of tons of retro mags (all legal too i think? well i hopethey are anyway :blink: ) not the same as phisical but the quickest way to do some retro reading!



#146255 people posting screenshots in the Miiverse

Posted by backudog on 10 December 2012 - 09:30 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Had no idea you could do that! maybe from now on i should RTFM!



#200573 What Games Will You Buy Off the Wii U Virtual Console?

Posted by backudog on 26 April 2013 - 08:51 PM in Wii U Hardware

SMW ,any n64 games when we get them, same with GameCube ones, and any RPGs the put on there, pretty much anything that takes my fancy and I've not played before....hmm this may get expensive....and I may need a new HDD eventually. 




#153417 What's the cheapest game you ever bought at retail?

Posted by backudog on 29 December 2012 - 05:23 AM in General Gaming

Bought Risen on the 360 for 3 quid, even though it sucked I thought for that price I'd give it a go. Also got 2 games and a controller for the price of a stamp back when Microsoft dropped the price of the original Xbox, they offered peeps who had bought one full price b4 the drop their choice of 2 games and a controller to make up for it, was worth about 150 quid ish I think? That counts...technically lol!



#121521 Whats the one thing that has you a little worried?

Posted by backudog on 25 October 2012 - 08:02 PM in Wii U Hardware

AAA third party support in the long-term


i agree, thats my main worry, once ps4 and 720 are released, and assuming they are the power houses they are supposed to be, will third party support dry up?
