The demo of the game looks way better than the released version...very odd

[Alex Wolfers]

like what ?

i could of played them on either my X360, PS3 or PC, yes Pikmin 3 looks good as does Bayonetta 2 both which i have on order, but that is all, other than that Lugi dlc on Mario U but that is just another platform game, in fact it is just the same game with a different colour character, i also have Sim City 5, Rome Total War 2 on order for my PC, Tomb Raider 2013, Dead Island, GTA 5 on order for my X360 & i have Rainbow Six Patriots on order for my PS3, there will be more games for the current consoles at E3, why play or buy multi-platform games if they are worse versions than the X360 or PS3 versions, the graphics are no better, there is no dlc content & they cost more to buy, i would of been better saving my money for a PS4 or X720, the games need to be out now, not twelve months after the Wii U was released, this time next year the PS4 & X720 could be out in the shops, there is a announcement & reveal by Sony in two days for the PS4, now are people thinking of buying a Wii U going to not think, hmmm maybe i will wait for the PS4 & buy all the Wii U games on my PS3, other than Zombi U the Wii U has nothing, instead of buying a Wii U the person would be better buying a 3DS for games like Zelda & New Super Mario Bros 2 which is basically the same game as New Super Mario Bros U,& anyway Super Mario Land 3D is a far better game.

Nintendo needed to do more, they needed to hit the ground running with the Wii U & also the games, many multi-platform games are being pulled from the Wii U or pushed back,the Wii U cannot survive on a few Mario, Zelda & Metriod games this time, where is the new content, Nintendo cannot keep pushing out old games but with a few new tricks, Oooo look Mario is now in HD on the Wii U & Nintendo has always said that graphics don't matter ! a philosophy i myself happen to subscribe to, Nintendo are just carrying on doing what they have always done, while their fans & audience drift away.

you want proof i have a Wii U because i sound like a PS / Xbox fanboy well here it is.

included it a copy of todays Times newspaper for the date reference.

You dont have to so damn rude to me. I was just saying after the January Nintendo Direct people should of already realized its strong potential that its very likely to acheive. Dont snap at me again.

i wasn't snapping, if is sounded like i was i am sorry.

the Jan Nintendo Direct didn't show anything though, the only new things was Mario golf & the Luigi DLC but this is papering over the cracks after EA have said they won't be releasing any sports games on the Wii U & Rayman was pushed right back in the year.

I accept your apology bro. I need to work on being so opinionated. Im working on it.

The game doesn't look very good anyways, all the critics are saying it's poor, and my friend told me the same thing.


However, Gearbox is another story... Sure, they make Borderlands, but besides that, they hype their games up to be masterpieces and then when they release they are horrible.

Same thing happened with Duke Nukem Forever.

To be fare, with Duke Nukem Forever they basically just put different pieces of different games together and got it released. We shall se what they can do with whatever the next Duke Nukem is, I have no doubt that if they focus there dev team on it and don't outsource it we have the potential for a borderlands quality game.

Would you guys believe that the head of Gearbox blocked people off twitter when they started calling him a liar...no balls, seriously.

I just want to clarify this with you, owning all consoles doesn't mean that you are not a fanboy.



Back on topic. SEGA, Gearbox and 20th Century FOX came to an agreement to produce Aliens game approx 6 years ago.

http://www.reddit.co...t_at_the_final/

According to the article, the campaign in Aliens Colonial Marines was given to 3rd company called TimeGate. TimeGate would be developing majority of the campaign while Gearbox would take the Multiplayer and the DLCs by Demiurge and Nerve.

Gearbox was so busy on Borderlands 2 and realized that there was no way for them to develop and ship two titles at the same time. To make it worse, the campaign, which was being developed by TimeGate was extremely far behind while the deadline got closer and closer. When the game was supposed to hit "beta", Gearbox asked SEGA to push the release back one more time.

Once Borderlands 2 finished, Gearbox turned their attention to Aliens CM and it was apparent that the game was not ready to ship and in a pretty terrible state. Gearbox was pretty unhappy with TimeGate's work but they couldn't ask for more time from SEGA since they delayed this game several times already (Due to the fact that they were working on Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2, Duke, etc).

The article then went on saying that SEGA was pretty close to taking legal action against Gearbox so asking for an extension wasn't an option. It's either get it done or get f**ked by SEGA.

erm i think you will find it does,

Sorry if I posted the same article cause I am not a regular poster here as you can see.


I have seen fanboy claiming they are not a fanboy of certain company because they have all consoles. My friend for instance got a PS3 for the exclusives but he is still Xbox 360 fanboy to the core.

People not buying the game will make the WiiU look bad, the industry will say that game don't sell well on the WiiU, but I for one am not paying for rubbish, I think I'm going to cancel all my pre-ordered WiiU games what with the issues with Aliens & last week with Rayman, really starting to regret buying a WiiU now

Most people who follows the gaming news will know what's wrong with the game and it is not because of the Wii U. Gearbox must be insane if they expect this game to sell well on Wii U, PS3, 360 and PC. The only parties that will look bad will be Gearbox, TimeGate and SEGA (even though SEGA is the victim here, they are still the publisher).

However, fanboy of other companies will use this opportunity to make Wii U looks really bad in public.
