Why GTA V might be better on Nintendo systems then anywhere else…

I’m here to convince you of two things
1. GTA V on WiiU will be better than PS3 and 360 ( if it’s released for those two dinosaurs, lol )
2. GTA V 3DS could be awesome and just as good as Vita’s version

[Shok]

You make some solid points actually, but you couldve sounded a lot less bias.

[qwertyz]

the writer of teh article is a liar. the cryengine 3 footage runs on a gtx580 3gb and an i7 960 you honestly think wii u will be that powerful ? LOL that would be too expensive we all know Nintendo never subsidence their consoles(always start out selling at a profit no matter what) .

Besides the fact that wii u will be a very small console also means it won't have sufficient space to support cooling solutions sufficient for high-end parts but it will obviously be more powerful than ps3 and 360 combined though.

[ChickeyCantor]

Actually,
Since this is a dedicated system. We don't know its full potential yet. The tech-demos were made on unfinished devkits. It should at least be more powerful than current gen, however just because it's "small", doesn't mean hardware hasn't improved over these 5 years.

Besides...Nintendo knows how to rock their system. Mario Galaxy was really a creative surprise on the visuals.

You guys have no idea how much of a mess pc development on pc can be now on high end pc hardware. Just look at how rage turned out. The only true difference will be the pc version can run at over 1080. the power7 is the chip that supplies the variant of your hd systems. That variant is very stripped down yet we are about to see the first true power7 in a console and it is not going to have to run a bloated os or support legacy hardware. That is the true reason why the ps3 and xbox looks so good.

You have to understand deticated silicon is way better than mere pc parts. Expect the next consoles to be pretty much the same power wise. Multi core game engines don't scale all that well right now.

Saying the wiiu can't have hardcore games now is like saying only sonys blu ray players will be good. The whole casual cry from developers was so they could ignore Porting down. Notice how power hungry developers are pleased now. Not sure why people still want to act like the wiiu is going to suck. Unfortunately this is not sports and cheer for a side doesn't mean they will win. The writing is on the wall they have the tech and I have to admit the mini games in gta will be so much better. I mean now you may have to actually put the wires together to hot wire your car. You may have to do more than press the b button lol. I mean come on you could put the gear shifter on each car and dump the clutch like a real out law. Also many of you dont know or realize this but you can use the classic controller at the same time your wiiu controller is activated. What this means is you could play classic gta with a controller then pick up the wiiu to fly say a remote chopper.

GTA V on WiiU

[Khordchange]

Good Points, but will see. I think hacking stuff would be a lot more fun on the Wii U

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

Lets not forget about the potential of the PS3 w/ Vita. If R* wills it, we could probably be able to do the same thing with the PS3 and Vita as you can do with the Wii U.

[Shackdaddy836]

I really don't think that's gonna happen... Would be cool though...

[dark-hollow]

yeah the only problem that every wii u user have the controller while not every ps3 will get vita

[ChickeyCantor]

I just love how people disagree with Shackdaddy.
There is a huge chance it WONT happen since Vita is not a dedicated controller to the PS3. It's more of an Add-on.

He isn't condemning it, by the "Would be cool though" it should be clear that he is welcoming it.

[Getowned]

yeah that won't happen.If it dose then great but I 99% don't think it will happen.

[Parapraxis]

Very professional... "lol" as you say.

[OpenGL]

By the time GTA V comes out the Vita will be out in every market, and the Vita will be capable of running a version of GTA V that looks far better than what the 3DS is capable of.

As far as the Wii U goes, we haven't seen any actual games running on the hardware, and while it will likely be more powerful than the PS3/360 the Wii U's hardware still looks outdated next to contemporary PC hardware.

[DarkBlood]

ya got to stop thinking about pcs when it comes to things like this

i think its already wildly establish that pc for raw power

[raytraceme]

well the "then anywhere else" made it clear the pc's were in the running for this. Also they used a pc video for the wii u.

[WhiteLightning]

Not really about what is best but what is best suited for you

I've played GTA on a Sony system since it first released on the PS1.....I'm not going to change now

[Burning_Finger]

Cause everyone knows that Nintendo's are known for MATURE audience./s

[ShAkKa]

L.O.L

[Jayjayff]

DAMN, Wii U is looking pretty hot, getting excited for the new generation of consoles.

[Oldman100]

"This last video shows CryEngine 3 which is up and running over 30 FPS and in true 1080p on WiiU"

*Looks at video description*

"I recorded some 30FPS 1080p footage on all high settings using an i7 960 and an EVGA GTX 580 3GB."

[negroguy]

I didnt even think to look at the video description. I was just thinking man the WiiU really is a beast. Thanks for the correction.

[yabhero]

Read carefully... It shows CryEngine 3 , CryEngine 3 is up and running on WiiU
I was hoping people would understand that this was a video on a engine that is now possible on WiiU

[raytraceme]

PC will most likely recieve the best edition. Also Zelda looks epic!!!! I love the physics and realtime reflections in the game. The wii u looks to be a powerhouse.

[TruthbeTold]

What the hell was wrong with his^ post to get all the disagrees? People can't like the Wii U or what? PC games don't generally look the best? (This is an article centered around graphics)

This site and it's overly brand loyal, sensitive, and nerdy retards is a serious embarrassment sometimes. Good grief. Grow up...

[Ezio2048]

i am soooooooo badly waiting for a gameplay video!!!!!!!!! ;(;(

[2EHO]

Truth be told nintendo console isn't best for mature content.

[Titanz]

Madworld
No more heroes 1/2
etc. (Too lazy to list the rest).

-On topic-
Like the Wii - the Wii U will possibly be a second console to many.

[Titanz]

What I meant was, a lot of gamers will be multi console owners - that's it!

[Getowned]

why ? nintendo wants to be more hardcore and have more hardcore games lets just wait and see we don't know anything really it's all speculation.

[CaptainN]

I do believe the Cry Engine 3 is running on Wii U tech, that video however is not from Wii U, but that doesn't mean the system is not capable of running it. The system is going to be very powerful regardless. If the 1st tech demo units where 50 percent more powerful then current gen systems, don't you think a year later with upgraded tech in them will make the Wii U a lot more powerful than current gen. Yes Nintendo likes to keep system prices low and they like to make a profit from day one, but this system is going a different route. Do you think Nintendo doesn't know Sony and MS will be following up a year later. They know they can't put ancient tech in the system this time around. It may not be the most powerful up to date graphics card or processors, but they will be pretty damn powerful. They are letting third parties tell them what tech they need and the are also letting third parties delegate the online system. And just think that Zelda demo was one of the best looking games ever and it was made in like 3 weeks on a tech unit !!! Now think about a real complete team working on a real game with a much more powerful, stable system.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

The only good point he made was about the graphics. Yes the wii u will have the better graphics. But all that new controller crap is really stuff for casual gamers. GTA is a core gamer's game.

[Jdrm03]

Actually, the tablet/gamepad hybrid they have going can be very much for the core if the game is designed to use it properly. The touch screen can add countless more buttons/add a whole new dynamic to games....think of a mec game needing you flip a bunch of switches on that screen in order to turn it or for instance a zelda game, where you can see your inventory/map at all times on that screen....

There are a lot of great possibilities, the only question is will it be put to use.

[Zancruz]

That's a very bad joke.... Very bad indeed!

[Jdrm03]

if GTA V is coming to the Wii-U, then no doubt it will be the best console version....it's new hardware.

[DarkZane]

The PS3 and 360 (well, maybe not the 360) are still superior to the WiiU and they were released 5 years ago. Actually, the Wii U is already a dinosaur before it has even been released. This should have been released instead of the Wii.

[Khordchange]

um what?

[DNAbro]

proof?

[Getowned]

lol liar You don't know that no one dose,wait and see.

[yabhero]

Should I even respond to your stupidity? So the WiiU which has tech from 2009 will be weaker than something with tech from 2005... That makes sense

[Nes_Daze]

Is this a joke? WiiU with GTA5? LOL Please no thanks I'l get it on the PS3, yeah that old dinosaur that trumps the Wii in just about everything except sales. People act like the Wiiu is gonna be miles ahead of the current consoles. LOL, and those casual fans won't adopt consoles that quick, they're unreliabe because they are sheep.

[Ck1x]

I know people tout PC's for their graphical capabilities, but the truth of the matter is, consoles are the vehicles driving games into a more mainstream and accepted past time. People playing games around a PC will always have a more negative connotation because it spills of isolation and a solitary environment. On the other hand, consoles are played in the living room where families gather. So it just gets a lil old with the console bashing of them being inferior

[lionelglitchy]

reggie the fat manhas already said that the wii will run alongside the wii u, so that means the wii will still be aimed at casual players and kids while the wii u will be aimed at a more mature audience.three points are that 1.with wii still being supported we will still get a good trade up deal for our wii.2.wii sales will subsidise the wii u if they decide to sell at a loss.3.the wii will be nintendos gateway drug to get kids hooked on gaming because if you grow up playing mario etc (like me,albeit in the eightys)you will get the next nintendo console.seems like nintendos project blue ocean in full affect

[jacen100]

i would like to think the wiiU version will trump the 360/ps3 version being new hardware the wiiU should produce images beyhond what the other 2 can do, wiiU version will be the superior console version, and there is no doubt that its coming to the wiiU

[FourGees]
