The wind waker HD bundle makes me wish I never bought a wii U at launch




#185577 Do Graphics Really Matter?

Posted by routerbad on 23 March 2013 - 09:47 AM

I think its about what the developer would like to do that is important. Perhaps their goal is to have something very visually stunning/unique art style for the player that they need to tools and hardware to do it, like Journey or Battlefield 3. 

Hardware gives developers options or tools in which they can selectively choose what experiences they want to give to the player. I guess what I am trying to say is, gaming has grown too complex and varied for this simple age-old-question to be accurate. I suppose its still great to asking yourself what values in a video game do you think is worth more.

The styles in games has grown far too varied (partly because of all the options and tools developers can play with now) for this question to accurate when addressed to games as a whole.

I suppose a better question is: "How much do you value graphics in modern gaming?".

Edit: I just finished watching the video. I now realize what I wrote isnt 100% in line with the real question asked... my bad lol

I don't think the hardware is the limiting factor anymore, but the developers creativity is.  The hardware is there in all of the next generation platforms to give developers plenty of room to express themselves.

A noisy disc drive means that your console may spontaneously combust at any given moment


#134981 wii u malfunctions when connected to usb storage

Posted by Sargon on 20 November 2012 - 04:54 PM

Will an external HDD that was designed to use an AC adapter work with a usb y cable instead?


He said it has its own power supply though. Would the Y cable still provide a solution? (half wondering for when I get my own HDD)


There is absolutely no reason to use a USB Y-Cable if the HDD has its own power supply.  The power supply provides all the power that it needs.


#135618 List of compatible external USB powered Hard Drives

Posted by alan123 on 21 November 2012 - 02:40 PM

Can members please post what external Hard Drive they are using especially is it is USB powered, NOT Hard Drives that have their own power supply.

Wii U users have posted around the internet that they are having problems with the Wii U not providing enough power via the USB ports to power a external Hard Drive, there is a fix by way of using a 'Y' lead, so can members please post their Hard Drive information & if it works with a single USB lead or with a 'Y' lead.

Can we please keep this thread clear & members JUST post the relevant information ?

I have a - Western Digital Elements 320GB Portable USB 2.0 Hard Drive - Black http://goo.gl/givFd i do not yet know if this works but will update when my Wii U arrives on launch (UK)
