Gareth at Skewed and Reviewed has posted some of his thoughts on the new Wii U system after playing the console again at Comic Con. While he still has concerns about the graphics many of the Nintendo games show, he cites the impressive look of the third party titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
Blah Blah Blah this guy is missing the point there are games in development that will put ZombiU to shame and that title is already better looking than any 3rd party game out there ????
There is a Cry Engine 3 game being built ground up as we speak that supports 2 gamepads ect and its meant to look special Cryteks words there not making it ut a partner of them is ??
Zelda+metroid will look stunning in don't forget we have confirmation on the WiiU GPU it's a hybrid E6760/HD6770 so think OpenGl 4.1 instead of Ps3's OpenGl1.0 tweaked ???and Shader model 5.0 instead of 3.0,and Compute Shader 11this is not even on either 360 or ps3 and it basically means a modern take on GPGPU the WiiU gpu is a beast it can do 70% of the work the cpu would normally have to do without loosing any graphics power what so ever FACT.
It would be hard for the wiiu to not do better graphics with them specs m8 get a life the wiiu has 4 launch games that are graphically superior to current gen and that just what we know so far before Gamescom and Nintendo direct ??
The 4 games are Aliens/ZOMBIU/PIKIMIN3/LEGO CITY these games and also Ninja Gaiden Razors Edge also got a texture upgrade and aniations anyway these games are graphically superior over current gen simple so is Trine2 DC.
ZombieU,Lego City ACM, and Razor's were not on par graphics wise with Uncharted 3, Halo 4, and several other titles already out for the PS 3 and Xbox 360. While they looked and played great, the titles shown to date do not offer graphics that are better than anything that is currently out. I have played ACM on a PC and Xbox and it looks the same on the Wii U.
I have spent alot of hands on time with the system at three shows now, and while it is fun and the games are awesome, the graphics are not vastly superior to what is already out, they are for the most part the same with the Nintendo titles being inferior and dated. They can be a bit brighter but there is nothing that makes you say wow. I played R.E.6 on an Xbox and Lost Planet 3 on an Xbox later in the day and they both looked better than what was in ZombieU. In a few years when developers really code for the system it will improve. To date, Ravor's is the best looking title I have seen for the system. It was sharp graphically, and very smooth.
Assassin's Creed Wii U has better graphics then ZombiU, so the Wii U can definitely push better graphics from the ground up then ZombiU. Gearbox claimed that ACM is better looking on Wii U then it is on the 360/PS3, so that's not for u to say until u at least played the Wii U version. But personally graphics don't mean everything to me. I don't like any of the XBOX1 or XBOX 360's exclusives except Fable, the rest bore me. I don't play games to look at them, but to play them lol. Games make a console not graphics. High-End PC's will always have better graphics anyways. Big N is gaining a lot more 3rd party support to go along with 1st party games then they did with the Wii. They reported over 100 games already n development for the Wii U also. I'm get a WiiU & a PS4 when it comes out.
