What are some of you guys on about? ALIEN/ALIENS is one of the best movie franchises ever made,if you watch the first 2 movies you will understand why they are on LV426.

No it doesn't matter. Have you played the arcade games it's basically the same in HD with a story.

Thats a load of bollocks tbh,like i said if youd actually taken the time to watch the first 2,and even Prometheus,you would understand why the marines are there and what happened prior to them being there.

As you can tell i am a big fan of the ALIEN movies,and it annoys me when people say things like 'no just go ahead and play you dont need any back story' or something like that.

There is a reason for the excitement for this game and its basically the ALIEN fans like me who have been waiting years and years for a decent game based around it. Colonial marines looks like it could be the game im really looking forward to it.

After doing lots of reading about wii u,including rumours and people seemingly having access to Nintendo,IBM,and AMD's plans,i have to ask this question.....

Why do you all seem to think you know whats inside the console?

Person A: Its a Power 7 super duper IBM powerhouse CPU.

Person B: No,its a tri core cpu worse or equal to the 360 cpu.

How do you guys know this/that?

Do you not sometimes take a step back,and realise your just following rumours,you should say this to yourselves:  "you know what,im just going along with what im reading"

Its a joke tbh.

But i have no doubt of the potential of this new console. Apparently it has '1GB or RAM available to games' But people suddenly think the Wii u only has 1GB RAM. Think about it,the PS3 only has 256mb of VRAM,the Wii U has a whole GB,this is awesome make no mistake.

But still,even im speculating,because we dont know if it has 1GB Vram,or if it has 1gb ram split between System and GFX.

Either way,its at least double the amount of 360 or PS3 so rest assured the Wii U WILL be much better than the current gen.

Tbh i cant wait for Wii U it looks awesome,im currently talking it up amongst my friends family,i cant wait to show them Zombi U and Aliens:CM. Cheers.

Hi all,ive been following this site for about a month,and tbh some of the people posting about the Wii u's specs have me quite amused.

First off,everyone keeps banging on about the CPU inside the console,saying its not as powerful/is/ or isnt a match for the 360.

Can i just say a CPU does not need to be stupidly fast,its mainly the system RAM and GPU that bottlenecks the CPU. (at least in console history)

Lets get this straight: XBOX 360 CPU is 3.2ghz,tri core,with 6 threads total. When it was first released,it was a 90nm design,it was stupidly hot even PC's were running higher ghz with better more efficient technology.

Nowadays M$ has got it to 45nm,it runs cooler,more efficient,but its still the same cpu,and do you hear ANYONE complaining about its performance?
Even M$ have stated its mainly the system RAM/V-RAM and GPU processing that are the main bottlenecks.

That was like 7 years ago. So thats is an ice age in PC terms,and you know what?.....CPU's have come a long way. Even if the Wii-U's cpu is 'only' 2.9ghz,it WILL still outperform the 360 and most certainly the PS3 because its simply got more efficient clock cycles plus advances in cache etc etc.

How do you think they can squeeze a tri/quad core into a little box like that and not be fast/efficient?

And a educated guess will tell me the GPU will be a 6670,which is quite a bit inferior to a 6770. But thats another story.. Cheers.

And also,the 360 and PS3 have a total of 512mb ram,split between system and gpu respectively.

If the Wii-U does actually have 1.5gb ram shared,that is a HUGE increase and rest assured will demolish 360 and PS3.

And if its 2GB? Even better.

Lastly id like to state im no fanboy,i did own a wii and sold it,i also had a ps3 on 2 occasions and sold them both. I am a 360 gamer currently,but im definetily getting a Wii-U because i see the huge potential it has.
