TruTechNoid.com NFS: Most Wanted Wii U Features Preview

With the launch of the eagerly anticipated game less than a week away I thought I’d go through some of the new features in Most Wanted U, which Criterion say will be the “definitive edition”.

What stands out for us here at TruTechNoid.com is the decision to port the title from the PC version. The result is without a doubt the one of the most impressive, multi platform ports the Wii U has seen so far. Owing to the 1GB of RAM available to developers.

Criterion never said 1GB all we know is the wiiu got announced to have 4GB END OF really everyone thats anti Nintendo started saying only half was on retail yet ps4 has 8GB on devkit and retail ??????? look they said high end pc version so the wiiu is prob using 2GB RAM in games.

Nevers0ft4074d ago

I'm not sure I fully understand your post but one thing Nintendo has made perfectly clear about the Wii U (unlike the rest of the specs) is that the Wii U has 2GB of ram - 1GB for OS and 1GB for games. That might change with some sort of future update but Criterion didn't need to say anything, 1GB is what they had to work with.

Who cares its all to do with chip bandwidth ram as well and wiiu cpu/gpu have tons more than ps4 and co,and 4x the cache memory,and 1GB coupled with insane cache memory speeds ie eDRAM and 32MB eDRAM is over 140GB of fast Bamdwidth ram on its own,ps4 has only 176GB on the whole console 720 has 103GB WIIU is no slouch and will literally have zero memory limitations because of this,the wiiu cpu has 3MB of IBM eDRAM on all 3 cores basically the future of IBM cores look it up,IBM future cores on all cpu's will use eDRAM Cache.

ps4 has 4GB in retail package prob 2GB for games wow,plus Havok have tech that basically turns 1GB of texture memory into 100MB so Half a GB is essentially 5GB of texture memory,and every game uses HAVOK,so RAM is not a barrier these days.

3rd paragraph down,now please stop banging on about RAM,this proves Sony should have copied Nintendo to keep costs down,silly move as with this tech,ps4 extra RAM is not needed.

1GB RAM is plenty,and wont hold wiiu bk as long as HAVOK is around.

stuna14074d ago

How could they be using 2 gb of ram when it only has 2 gb of ram!?!

falcon794074d ago (Edited 4074d ago )

I thought the wiiu had 4GB ? but that's the devkits.

As i said wiiu console bandwidth ram is way over 200GB,twice 720 and lots more than ps4 live with it and this makes ur graphics alot more powerful,even Sony listed the ps4 on an online retailer stating it has 174GB of bandwidth ram for even more graphics power ????

Neversoft listen i got that wrong but the wiiu smokes the ps4 and 720 in Bandwidth ram on the gpu/cpu and has insane more Cache memory so its not important.

They managed with a few tweaks to get 6 times the data speed ?? slow ram look in other words they could of went even faster.

@falcon79 - You're a little touchy aren't you? I wasn't "banging on" about anything - I was correcting your assertions because, well, you're wrong.

It is however entertaining to see that you think you know far more about the Wii U specs than anybody else. Frankly, considering the obvious in-depth knowledge you have about the consoles inner workings I'm stunned you're not being constantly harassed for interviews by the gaming press. Be careful though, to an outsider it might look like you're just ejaculating words and numbers into a post without actually knowing what the hell you're talking about.

For full disclosure I should point out that my only console is a Wii U. It's a great console but I'm realistic - it is NOT going to outperform a PS4. Still, feel free to accuse me of being a blinkered Sony fan, it's not like anything else you've said in this thread has been correct.

I think the graphics will look great on WiiU.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai1d 14h ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga1d 5h ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

XiNatsuDragnel1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

ravens521d 9h ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_1d 4h ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

KwietStorm_BLM1d 4h ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka12h ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_1d 4h ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.

Another? ANOTHER?

Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.

Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.

''is building ‘another tremendous LIE service’''

/Fixed

just_looken4d ago

This is nothing too new
https://www.eurogamer.net/e...

They had plans of a universe of live service games

Also these studios made 2042 there is no new massive team its the same team
https://www.eurogamer.net/t...

Well same team minus the seattle boys that were canned
https://gamerant.com/ea-bat...

This is all again same news different year but it seems very few remember what happened before covid.

Walalon4d ago

At least they put car freshner trees up their asses to think smelling their own farts smells good at this point to be so out of touch.

RaidenBlack5d ago

Just make another Battlefield 2 ... or BadCompany 3 ... EA

XiNatsuDragnel5d ago

Bad company 3 instead of live service bs
