Somehow, people have some kind of expectation that graphics engines that are being optimized for hardware ten times as powerful (I'm just spitballing, but considerably faster) as the Wii U will fit on the Nintendo console. This isn't news, but the fact that it's being reported (and re-reported) is blistering my mind.
TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
Say what you like, but virtual farming is big business. And that means the release of Farm Tycoon onto the Xbox ecosystem should appeal.
Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?
Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.
Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.
I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.
Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.
Wow, what a ridiculous article. Nobody ever said that they expect PS4 type visuals on the Wii U. But a game that releases on PS4 could also be released on the Wii U if the game engine that it is being developed for is scalable. In which case all the next gen engines are as they plan on releasing for as many consoles as possible and even mobile platforms.
Sure the Wii U version will look weaker in comparison, but naturally the hardware pushing the PS4/Nextbox is considerably more powerful than what is in the Wii U.
But that doesn't mean that games won't exist on all three platforms. What a dumb thing to suggest.
Well to be honest, neither do current gen games.. Why would nx gen games pop up on it all of a sudden? Even if theres a sales spike, by the time they get things moving, the games will be too graphically advanced
My solution:
Get a Wii U.
Get a PS4.
Get a Vita.
Add them to my 3DS and PC.
Throw petty fanboyism and brand loyalty out the freaking window.
Play and enjoy the games that I want.
Did the writer even hear that Activision and Starbreeze aren't showing off the Wii U versions of COD Ghosts and Wolfenstein because "we're not talking about the next-gen version, stay tuned" at all? While the Wii U won't be as powerful, it isn't as big a gap as Wii and it has a lot more functions and abilities than Wii did, with abilities developers need.
Not to mention Ubisoft saying they're focusing on the "Next gen" versions of Watch Dogs (PS4/Wii U) before 360/PS3
Meanwhile at Nintendo...
