I actually liked Ac3, probably because for the whole series I've been ignoring the future/Desmond storyline because frankly its boring. The ending was terrible too. I think they just should have made Assassin's creed about the actual assassins rather then Desmond.
I also didn't mind Connor. He was a good break from Ezio who after being in 3 games pretty much bored me to death at the end. There was just too much of him. Connor's character is very believable bei...
I'm not denying that Nintendo will have competition, if anything having competition is better because then we'll get n64 caliber games from Nintendo which I think is awesome. From what I've seen from Nintendo I personally think they work best under pressure.
However, 3rd parties aren't interested in the Wii U because its selling slowly, in order to make it seem more attractive it has to sell faster. The only way Nintendo themselves can make it sell better is b...
I for one like to have a physical copy of my games because i feel like I actually own the game. There are too many problems with digital distribution for me to jump on the boat at the moment. I'm also not very fond of waiting forever for my games to download. Personally I think we should should go from discs to flash storage for games once flash gets a little cheaper. It'll be like the good old cartridge days without loading screens.
I agree with all of these reasons except one. While it would be amazing if Nintendo lowered the price of the Wii U i for one don't think it would be a good idea since they are already losing money on each console sold. But Nintendo need to advertise heavily and get more 1st party games out. The latter of which will probably not happen til e3.

x86 and powerpc are indeed different but that does not necessarily mean one trumps the other, x86 cpus use very long pipelines which can increase the latency quite a bit, which they usually make up for by having higher clock speeds. Powerpc uses slower cores with shorter pipelines which means less latency due to the pipelines. Also you use ddr3 for most cpus because it has lower latency then gddr5. Last time i checked cpus were supposed to be fast and gpus were supposed to us...
I'm not quite sure were you received the notion that the Wii U architecture is not similar to pc architecture. Its pretty much just about as close to pc architecture as all of the other consoles. That being mostly gpu heavy and relying on the cpu less. If anything the PS4 architecture is looking to be more different since they're using gddr5 memory for the cpu rather then ddr3.
I honestly like the motion controls. They make it slightly more immersive. I'm also a long time zelda fan. Since skyward sword was their first outing with the wii motion plus i don't blame them for making it easier considering that gamers might have been dissapointed if it was too hard to use the wiimote as a sword. I am looking forward to playing zelda with that gamepad though. OOT on the 3ds had amazing inventory management just because of the touchscreen.

No I am not him =]
I just happen to use this username on pretty much every website that I make an account on.
However, you did remind me of the other problem the Wii U currently has and that is the marketing. I haven't seen one advertisement on television for it at all, or online. They really need to start advertising it as something different.
Nah don't worry anyone who mentions the Wii U here with out insulting it several times gets disagrees. But yeah the only problem I see with the Wii U is the launch library. There wasn't really anything to showcase what the Wii U could do besides maybe Nintendo Land. But since they made a NSMB game it pretty much overshadowed Nintendo land despite being vastly inferior because its Mario. Hopefully Nintendo shows some good looking games at e3 this year that play well.

Realistically this gen I think all of the consoles will sell a similar amount of units but its pretty impossible to predict anything at the moment.
However, the wii u is no where near being a generation behind in graphics. The video games of this gen will mostly run on similar engines that will have features scaled down for less powerful consoles. People keep trying to compare ports of ps3 and 360 games to the wii u and forget that they are ports. When you port a game you ha...
That may be true. However developers need to make money off of their products. If they put too much money into a game and don't make much off of it then things don't turn out so well for them. Overall I do agree, big developers need to put more time into making their games.
@EbeneezerGoode
Pc is always going to be the most powerful platform for consoles but if you seriously think the ps4 is going to be 4x more power then the Wiiu you're gonna be pretty disapointed.
Well to be fair aliens was developed by the same people who finished duke nukem forever....
This is good, nintendo really needs to present what the system does.
@superterabyte
That actually probably won't happen unless you want to buy a console worth 700-800$+. The next gen consoles won't be nearly as cutting edge as last gen.
It was more of that fact that making games for ps1 were much easier. The n64 had limitations due to still storing games on cartridges
Yeah after playing amnesia the dark descent I can proudly say pretty much nothing afterward scared me ever again.
Judging by the fact that there is no 100% confirmed true information about both I'd say that this is a very bad assumption.
The doom articles against the ps3 were there because it was popular to hate on the ps3. Pretty much mostly the same reason why people hate on Nintendo atm. The other factor of the nintendo hate is because of the wii and its catering to casual players. Nintendo even said they made a mistake doing that, pretty much apologized for it and now they are trying to cater to all gamers, and yet people still give them a bad wrap.
Part of the reason Nintendo's games are so good is because they make them on their own hardware. which means the game code fits the hardware. if they went multiplat their games wouldn't be as impressive visually or functionally. they know their system inside and out which is why they can push it to it's limits. Ex: Super Mario galaxy. I was amazed by how good that game looked despite being in sd.
