Could PS4 announcement be good for Wii U?

A latest set of reported Wii U figures show that Nintendo is still struggling to get its new console into the hands of significant numbers of gamers. Stats created by US market research group NPD show that, in America, Nintendo managed to shift fewer than 100,000 units in January. So how could the PS4 help the Wii U?

As in shooting a wounded animal to prevent further suffering.

Then yes, the PS4 will be good for the WiiU

Stroke6664084d ago

so much hate for nintendo my goodness. more power more power... lol thats all people say when talkin about nintendonysoft. ps4/720 gonna be so much more powerful. dudes if you want that much power don't buy wii u, don't buy ps4, don't buy 720, don't buy anything but a top end pc/laptop. if "power" is the deciding factor in your purchase. you don't kno if ps720 will have better or more games but your pretty sure they'll have "more power" and ur sold on that alone. lol then make certain you get more power and go pc. more on topic... the announcment of the ps4 and xbox will actually do wii u some. they'll get a ton of free publicity. "how will ninendos wii u fare against 'insert other next gen name here'?". also imo the difference in graphics won't be a vast as most are expecting on top of devs not getting any less lazy. ps3/xbox360= (ps2/xbox)5, but nextgen=currentgen+2 none the less i cant wait.

zebramocha4084d ago

Pc are good but the biggest con for them are,the hardware is never use to it's fullest potential.

Ricdog4084d ago

Oh come on, thats bs. Even if a PC uses 70% of its potential that is still way more than anything a console can do after 2 years its been out. Half Life 2 with a powerful GPU and turned to ultra max with HD settings still looks better than most console games to day (fact), and that game came out in 04.

zebramocha4084d ago

That only with stronger GPU's,if a console had a comparable card than the console version would probably look better or have better performance because,it's not being held back by drivers or non standard parts,a good example I believe are tech demos,they give a representation of what the system could possibly achieve,there are a couple that Sony showed with the ps3 that became games but not so many from nvidia or amd.

MrRaccoon904084d ago

The WII U lacks games at least Sony and Microsoft gets exclusives. and dude DUHHHHHHHH get a pc if you want awesome specs your comment was irrelevant to this subject.

Stroke6664084d ago

oh boy, read the WHOLE comment plz, you see that statement that reads "more on topic" inferring knowledge of digression? yeah and ummmmm ps4/xbox720 have NO games announced for their next venture so like i said we don't know if they'll have better or more games.

BullyMangler4084d ago

ha haa . sony announcing the ps4 way ahead of schedule because of nintendo . . . ha haa Haaaa . im still gonna get a ps4 . what a life!

xursz4084d ago

I think it's trying to communicate.

corrus4084d ago

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA yeah yeah if you say so

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos9h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos7h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje7h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum10h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum5h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola4h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum4h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola4h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum3h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad6h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola4h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos4h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai6h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK6h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

MrBaskerville2h ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
