#312486 Microsoft Lies About Witcher 3 Footage and Gets Caught

Posted by Marcus on 29 April 2015 - 09:04 PM in General Gaming

It's pretty minor when compared to some of the lies we get about games pre-release. But it's still a lie. People can reasonably expect games shown on the Xbox channel are running on the Xbox. Plenty of people only game in a fairly casual way and really don't keep up to date with all of the info. They'll be coming from the position of just assuming what they see is genuine. I wouldn't care about the 900p to 1080p jump but the 30fps to 60fps is one I definitely care about.




#308668 What's Your Favourite World In New Super Mario Bros. U?

Posted by Marcus on 11 February 2015 - 08:38 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Always loved the first worlds in 2D mario games. The nice green grassy places. Can't remember what it's called in NSMBU though. I've really stopped paying attention to any of the lore in Mario games.




#311973 Splatoon download requires just 1,800 MB of disk space

Posted by Marcus on 13 April 2015 - 04:49 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Yeah this game looks ideal for DLC. Seems quite likely given how much Nintendo have completely hijacked that bandwagon.




#309536 Devils Third - More New Tidbits

Posted by Marcus on 23 February 2015 - 04:16 PM in Wii U Games and Software

My main question about this is why on earth it's a Wii U exclusive. This would sell a hell of a lot more on Xbox.




#309538 Devils Third - More New Tidbits

Posted by Marcus on 23 February 2015 - 05:09 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Because originally it was for PS3 and 360. used Relic Engine but then they went out of business. THQ picked up publishing rights and was on Darksiders II engine. THQ went out of business. Nintendo like they did with Bayonetta 2 swooped in saved the game and said they would publish it. Now it's on UE3. So like Bayonetta 2 if not for Nintendo the game would not exist.


I find it funny when ever MS or Sony publish something people either cheer or don't react. When Nintendo does. "why is this not on console X or Y?"

 

Well that's only cos it's better suited to the Xbox. That's where the action whores live. I understand the reasoning though. Given that the game was well under way, it was an opportunity for Nintendo to get an exclusive game at a lower cost than it otherwise would've been.




#309404 Wii U top 3 games (for new owners)

Lololol "it's good but I'm offended".

 

My impression of Bayonetta was that the character was supposed to be pro-woman but the camera was supposed to be pro-perv. Seemed like a fair balance.




#309396 Wii U top 3 games (for new owners)

Posted by Marcus on 21 February 2015 - 02:15 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Pretty easy really.

 

1) Mario Kart 8- The best Mario Kart imo. The tracks are great, it looks incredible and DLC tracks is an awesome addition.

 

2) Super Mario 3D World- Very safe for a 3D Mario game. But perfectly weighted platforming with varied and creative levels. It's pure mindless fun.

 

3) Wind Waker HD- A Zelda is needed for every home console. This isn't the best and imo the sparsity of the ocean works against the pacing of the story (which is otherwise good). It'll do until we get the big Zelda we're all waiting for.




#313000 Gorgeous New Footage of 90’s Arcade Racer for Wii U

Posted by Marcus on 14 May 2015 - 01:58 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Weird coincidence with the toy story bedroom track. He can't have known Nintendo were doing something similar.




#312632 Hyrule Warriors has sold 1 million units worldwide & Two New IP's?

Posted by Marcus on 05 May 2015 - 06:00 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Fire Emblem Warriors son. FE universe is 10x that of Zelda so the DLC could go on for a long time and the game would be massive. FEW needs to happen.

 

Is Fire Emblem one universe? I've only played 2 games and they seemed to be completely disconnected.




#309298 Motion controls won’t be a requirement for Star Fox Wii U

Posted by Marcus on 19 February 2015 - 07:30 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Feels like we should've got some video footage of this game by now. He did say it was coming out before Zelda.




#314178 [Rumour] Splatoon: Ink Shot for 3DS

Posted by Marcus on 10 June 2015 - 11:50 PM in General Gaming

That mechanic could work quite well in 2D actually. Hope they try it!




#299531 Kamiya's words for port beggars

Posted by Marcus on 01 October 2014 - 08:08 AM in Wii U Games and Software

So does SEGA retain any actual rights or role in the game? Or has it just officially transferred to Nintendo?




#313643 RUMOR: Another New LEGO Title on the Way?

Posted by Marcus on 01 June 2015 - 05:15 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Not the sort of approach I expect with this sort of name but I guess the early access approach is probably best for this sort of game. Lots of potential bugs to iron out.




#313471 RUMOR: Another New LEGO Title on the Way?

Posted by Marcus on 28 May 2015 - 06:54 AM in Wii U Games and Software

They've been kicking themselves for not thinking of it first for about a decade now. Might as well just jump on the bangwagon. At least they can claim some sense of authenticity.




#311091 Wind Waker LEGO Idea set nearly at goal for consideration

Posted by Marcus on 28 March 2015 - 10:17 AM in The Café

Looks really good. But I bet if they're gonna do Nintendo LEGO, they'd do it to coincide with upcoming releases.




#309266 Tired of Ebay sellers

Posted by Marcus on 19 February 2015 - 12:26 PM in The Café

It's important to remember that it's a tiny tiny percentage that cause problems. They just stick out more!




#309408 So... What other Wii Games are we to expect in the VC?

Posted by Marcus on 21 February 2015 - 05:49 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I too want gamecube games. It'd mean I could finally get rid of my Wii. The only reason I hang onto that thing is for Mario Sunshine and Skies of Arcadia.

 

After that, as many Wii games as possible that use the classic controller. I use the Wii U gamepad as a screen a lot so that's best for me. Last Story would be good. If they release Xenoblade Chronicles I'll be annoyed as that's the main reason I bought the new 3DS.




#309981 Top five games of the last (7th) generation

Posted by Marcus on 03 March 2015 - 05:45 AM in General Gaming

5 is thankfully easier than 10. After 5 I start worrying if I'm forgetting something. So top 5 of 7th gen:

 

1) Mass Effect 2

2) Mario Galaxy 1/2

3) Dark Souls

4) Portal 2

5) Xenoblade Chronicles (still haven't finished but I'm confident enough based on what I'd played)




#312169 Big Blue FZero Track MK8 (DLC Pack 2)

Posted by Marcus on 20 April 2015 - 02:06 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Yeah, this track is the headliner for me. Screw animal crossing. This is one of the best looking tracks in the whole game. They've really stepped it up for their DLC.




#299538 The possibilities of Minecraft on Wii U

Posted by Marcus on 01 October 2014 - 08:20 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Yeah, I think Microsoft buying Mojang was the almost definite end of this possibility. I'm just glad I've got the Vita version preordered.




#311089 JRPG or WRPG

Posted by Marcus on 28 March 2015 - 10:12 AM in General Gaming

JRPGs in principle. Recently though WRPGs in practice. (In other words a lot of my favourite games are JRPGs but in recent years WRPGs have been a lot better)




#313113 Unconfirmed: Nintendo’s Next Level Games Working on New Online Title

Posted by Marcus on 18 May 2015 - 01:03 PM in E3 2015

What other games have Next Level made? With Nintendo it's usually safe to assume it'll be the continuation of a pre-existent series.




#312406 Black Ops 3 reveal trailer

Posted by Marcus on 26 April 2015 - 10:47 AM in General Gaming

They've added another update that seems to keep the possibility open. Probably best to forget about though!




#315027 Upcoming PlayStation VITA Games | E3 2015

Posted by Marcus on 19 June 2015 - 09:25 AM in General Gaming

Trails of Cold Steel looks quite promising! 

 

Also crossing my fingers they don't mess up the RE:Revelations 2 port.

 

(someone should freeze-frame that video and list all of those logos shown at the end too)




#312558 Mario Kart 8 update 4.1 is now live

Posted by Marcus on 02 May 2015 - 03:44 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Oh bloody hell, I just spent half the week unlocking the damn thing.
