wii U at this point is good for those who play console games (console gamers) and mostly for those who buy a console for a first time, AT DATE, its a waste of money to buy a 360 and ps3 at this point (they will die in 1-2 years).. Because right now, if u own many consoles and especially a PC... there is no point yet buying it... It needs some good games to give us some good reasons of buying it. Also I dont like AT ALL the mysticism around it by nintendo, its more like they afraid of something.. Nintendo before original Wii, always gave information's about their products, since Wii, they stopped it.

I dont support the OP for what he did, because I consider the whole thing idiotic...  Not a sensible buyer... You buy something, you play a bit, turn it back get your refund and rasp it over the internet... hmmm That means your not a nintendo fanboy and you didnt think before you buy... you just follow the trend, you may not a gamer at all!!

there is 2 categories of customers, those who are fans and lovers, so they buy it at release date (whatever the cost and product actually is) and those who prefer to research and give it some time get some more titles, mature a bit... Now it seems there is 3 categories  

I am 33 to... I still remember loving the music from gargoyle (game boy black and white / classic)... amazing tone... But I preffer to wait a bit, till I buy it...

Something is seriously wrong here. First we see these amazing CPU-only tech demos and praises that have superior quality when comparing it with last generation consoles, and now we're are hearing that the Wii U has supposedly got a "horrible CPU". These statements simply don't match.

I'm not trying to start another major debate here, but yet again, it's staring to look like we're seeing a POWER7-based Wii U CPU situation. Everything is pointing at it.

get usb hdds with independed power cable... DO NOT buy hdds that drain power from the usb as well...

Out of order cpu makes no difference in that way. It can only be a plus and never a negative, you dont have to design code around out of order, like you do in order, as the cpu takes it out of order however the hell it weants to do it to get it done the fastest. You dont have to optimize for OoO. It will run code better than in order all by itself.

Arkham and multiple confirmed neogaf devs began talking about 600% code performance improvements with the devkit v4 release, which broke compatability with previous kits (forcing devs to start over and redo some stuff, or wait for the next version hoping compatability would be restored).

Things changed since the rumored devs... because it was rumors, not actual hardware to test and confirm!.. Those who look the cpu at this date, give different opinions. Its still foggy, but its not good.. I have only faith in the gpu thing, even if they say that its weaker than gtx8800, because it can offer all the new technologies  and atmosphere into the game... You cant plasie older than the old generation of consoles parts and say... LOOK IT CAN FLY... differently... thats stupid!

but lets wait and see... I bet in a month or so, we will know what is what… But I repeat, all the tech guys, say that cpu is not that a big deal… maybe because everything they’ve checked till to date, is old and cheap. (as they claim) as for the ram.. is the cheapest solution they could get. I havent checked the reviews about the controller "tear apart" but I read that is cheap also... didnt care about the controller though.. the consoles matters most.

I made some research and there is allready a topic on NEOGAF about it... Western digital is supported...

so my suggestion to u all is...

http://www.amazon.co...18&sr=8-1-spell
http://www.amazon.co...18&sr=8-2-spell
http://www.amazon.co...18&sr=8-3-spell

Dont look at the price, as its english amazon, if u live in US is cheaper...  They are really fast as hell and really good quality.

Now if u want BETTER quality western digitals... I personally use http://www.amazon.co...53422182&sr=8-1

They are green, that means a bit slower, but faster than the usb port, because they are sata 3, so u dont need more than that... They are beasts... huge waranty, huge capacity and they last much longer than the black or blue, because they are ECO... Just to be certain that I suggest u the ones I USE... the model name is :  WD20EARX   also they are totaly silent and low temps, they give you about 90-100mb per second. (sometimes faster or some times a bit slower, depends the hdd I am transfering from, but the average transfer rate is 90-100mb per second)

roro ur a roro, forget it...

Stormage, its not only mmos and strategy and you may be surprised with wii U and ps4 and whatever this time, because they have the horse power (L cache for cpu calculations, 1-2mb and its more than enough) to hold up an extremely high AI in a strategy game, with intense battles, even offline mods. So the strategy game ports (pc to consoles), are going to be flawless.
I assume you play wow and diablo 3... I quited wow 1 and a half y ago, and I didnt bought diablo 3... I play swtor and guild wars 2 at this point.. And I think, blizzard may move world of warcraft into wii U also, because they turned it to be very casual... And is going to be a nice adition for nintendo like games..

Titan is going to be for the hardcores (pc only)

Ubisoft leak was proven bogus if I recall correctly.

There is no way Microsoft would provide that much ram without processors actually capable of USING the majority of it for gameplay.

Unless next box freaking has windows 7 as its os or something.

This, however  does line up pretty well with whatvIve been thinking. X86 based cpu, yes indeedy. Pretty good gpu.

They are just place holders though, I wouldnt expect these stock components in the final box, but similar processors customised to ms's desires.

But, good info and fun post, thanks.

Not entirely.. Lately we just learned that wii U is able to make 1080p at 60fps games... For example if assassins creed 3 is 1080p and 50-60 fps... with 2xaa then its more likely a modified 6770. my personal opinion...

Well at least, I did good that I stopped reading rumors, but the statement that the best of 360 and ps3, can run flawless at 60fps and 1080p native.. and with much better textures, and not even the half processing power of wii U, satisfies me..

interactions, romance, choices of what to do, digitized objects... real weather effects, no just missions but a huge world and mission accomplishments when and if u want to. Character dress, undress with different looks and types, very very good AI and reach dialogues, extremely reach dialogues..  I dont want just rpg adventures to have this stuff, but all games.. Ive said it many times... for example fps, they could be first person during a mission that U will choose to accomplish, but when u turn back in base to be able turn in third person to... interact, train, visit pubs... built relationships.. etc... All the missions to be like skyrim questing style and a bit more advanced.. That is an example.. I hate and i got bored of the classic good american pre-built characters... lol.. hilarious games... they need to change.

Even if its not a port , you cant compare for example the first 360 games with the today 360 games...

Did u learn about the new zombie U features??????? It turns me off a bit... They posted that in my country.

You know why it says " HOW LONG CAN YOU SURVIVE" ?

Because there is NO saves, No checkpoints... If you die, you turn into zombie and the game ends...  Here is the bizarre part.. You have to start over by creating a new character.... Each character got a bag with survival tools and weapons... If you died and turned into zombie... Your new character will have go all along and find,  kill your old character!! and claim the bag with survival kits and then continue even further!!!   So the game is TRULY a survival game hahahahahaha...  It sounds bizarre.. is it.

they also forgot entirely wii.. but its ok... What about splinter cell.. pff ... I need more announces and trailers before I buy it.

if thats true, samaritan quality graphics... is unreal engine 3.9... So Wii U can do even better than that.  Its fair enough, and very good.  The only point that sounds strange to be in his statement, that Nintendo didnt changed the gpu chipset, but tweaked it instead with new technologies. That sounds a bit strange, as the raw power of a GPU is the rops and shaders, I assume samaritan demo for a console needs up to 1.2 TFLOP and about 640-700 shaders (minus 50% from what a PC needs).. What about UE4?   I am going to be happy if wii U can run unreal engine 3,9 flawless at 40-60fps at 1080p...

But there is lots of rumors that nintendo DID change the chipset to something smaller than 45mm, not because of UE4, but because of heat and power consumption. Only 24 days to go for E3 though, we will know for sure, there and after. I believe, if ue4 is up and running on wii U, we will have amazing demos at E3.. You agree with that?

Activision owns blizzard to, and they leech peoples money for many years now, with world of warcraft.. Other companies do that style of games too, but at least they have time to upgrade their tech.

My personal opinion is, its not the tech at all.. They create the game for xbox and then they throw it in the other platforms by moding the files...  Thats why poor graphics, with polygons, poor textures, poor AI.. etc..

Western developers in general, become to lazy, they have to fire them all and get fresh blood... they become greedy and they perform less in their work.. They just fishing stupid customers to sell their craps..

An example is EA even if its a bad company for me.. At least they dont built their games in a console that is 8 years old, they know that it will be NO success at all.. !  Thats why crysis 1 and 3, battlefield 3, etc are made for the PC, and then they downgrade them for the other platforms.

So this kind of excuses, dont mean anything to me..

As I said in the past, this games are caput.. over..

I would love to see fps with action / rpg content.. I want to built my soldiers, the militarist org or my own military camp, or rogue building with secret agents,  the values for what I am fighting for, etc.. I want interaction and not just a couple of missions.. I dont want scripts, I want to be me... in this games..  (tps style game, when not in mission, and fps game while I am in a mission that I choose to do), good graphics, dialogues, alternative endings, huge worlds and content... For example, when I am not in a mission, I want to visit the base cantina and have a laugh, or go out in local towns, have fun.. buy stuff.. interact, training new techniques and hire new soldiers, etc.. Even enriching my missions with short of rogue investigations.. I want stuff like that..  I dont like just missions and cut scenes in an already written scenario by militarists, against taliban or Russia.. lol.. pfff so boring..  I want missions to be a part of the game, not the game... And a dynamic short of quest (missions) by the markets, investors, countries, companies, and choose between them.. I hope you get the point.

This games that are poor in everything.. and give you nothing more than.. kill and revive, kill and revive, be a specific ethnicity and a specific person.. I dont even bother to buy them.

Till then, wake me up, when September ends..

I ve posted that more than 10 times over the last 4-5 months.. i wonder, who reads or clicks
