#153174 How the Wii U will handle against the new Consoles?

Posted by backudog on 28 December 2012 - 01:47 PM in Wii U Hardware

I personally am hoping that the next gen offerings from microsony are a significant step up from the ps360, it needs to be really to keep people interested, coz despite what people may say when it comes to new systems we all love new shiny impressive looking graphics, stuff that makes us go OOH! AHH! and then rush out and buy them lol. im sure the wiiU will get stuff like that over the course of 2013, just not quite as spangly as the other next gens. it'll widdle over the current systems by a fair bit in 2013 i reckon, but by this time next year it'll face some stiff competition! i personally cant wait to see how it plays out!

#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!).

What annoys me, and I know this is a different publisher/developer whatever, is that aliens colonial marines is launched on Tuesday but only the ps360 & PC versions Wiiu owners gotta wait. Funny how Sega or whoever aren't doing the same thing as ubi eh? Oh wait. No its not. Just wtf is going on?!?!

#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)

#175303 Ubisoft confirms Watch Dogs for Wii U

Posted by backudog on 24 February 2013 - 12:24 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I disagree. Judging by the presentation of the game at E3 last year as well as the recent Sony press conference the game was definitely developed for next gen systems and high end PC's first and foremost. I suspect it will look significantly better on the PS4, high end PC's and likely the Xbox successor then on the PS3, Xbox 360 and also better then on the Wii U.

Maybe so but then a console doesn't have the overheads of a crappy OS like Windows either. I think you give far more credit to the PC platform them it deserves and dedicated, closed systems like consoles can in many ways give better results then a PC. The problem with PC's is that there are so many variations and configurations which is their downside.

On another note I don't know where all these complaints about people complaining there aren't enough third party games and when one is announced they will end up buying it on a different platform comes from. Personally I've never complained about the lack of third party support on the Wii U. What I have done is made observations of how it is, why Nintendo isn't doing well with the Wii U and what they need to do to change things around. Personally I'm not bothered about the level of third party support on the Wii U. Nintendo consoles since the GameCube have never been my primary gaming platform most likely never will be. My main reason for buying them is the first party games. That said if a third party game is significantly better on the Wii U I will get it on that but if not I will but it on another gaming platform. I fully intend on buying a PS4 and the Xbox successor and if a particular game I want is better on those then I will buy it for one of those systems. The quality of the games and game playing experience is what counts as far as I'm concerned and not the platform its on.

Same here, if its great on wiiu but better on one of the others I'll be getting the better version. Apart from the PC version, coz I don't own a PC.

#174697 Playstation 4 officially announced, thoughts?

Posted by backudog on 22 February 2013 - 09:11 PM in General Gaming

I liked what I heard and saw during the announcement thingy, but there's one thing stopping me buying a ps4 and it's rather stupid,it's that I hate the dualshock controller! I've hated all PlayStation controllers since the ps1, they just feel wrong to me when I'm holding them. The Xbox controller o the other hand feels really comfortable. So unless Microsoft really screw up thier new console or someone releases an Xbox style controller for ps4 I'll probably stick with WiiU and get a 720 to go with it.

Posted by backudog on 20 February 2013 - 09:08 PM in General Gaming

As excited as I now am about ps4, I'm gonna sit back and see what Microsoft and nintendo hit back with b4 deciding which systems to buy / keep. Bet both are a tad worried now though. Microsoft coz thier new machine allegedly is weaker than the ps4 so they'll Need to prove whatever Sony do they can do better or at least as well despite whatever differences in specs between the 2 and nintendo coz they've kept everything so close to thier chests that they'll have to show something REALLY special, that they have a ton of 3rd party developer support, and Tbh graphically amazing games to keep the U on gamers radar. (I know y'all say graphics aren't important but that's not true for a lot of gamers, me included. A game needs to be fun n play well but I also want it to look amazing especially on next gen machines).

#141042 Wii U clock speeds are found by marcan

Posted by backudog on 30 November 2012 - 01:50 PM in Wii U Hardware

I think, really, we'll only get to see how much "better" the U is than the other 2 consoles by seeing future 1st and 3rd party games and also future multi platform games, once devs have had a bit more time with it, and assuming they can be bothered to optimize / improve thier multi platform games for the U, we should be able to see a difference more clearly.....probably.

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?

#189808 Lego City Undercover ?

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.

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!

#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!

#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.

#141074 Wii U RUMORS 2013-2014. Metroid Prime Online Multiplayer, Kirby, and Fatal Frame

Posted by backudog on 30 November 2012 - 02:50 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I'll be getting the new xbox when its released, even more so if that Fable 4 rumour is true (love Fable, but not the kinect only one). Also, assuming all of those rumours are true , its good to see so many cool titles set toappear on the U , can't wait til next year to see what turns out to be true!

#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).

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.
