The CPU is the limiting factor, and by some accounts, the Wii U's is even worse than the 360's, let alone Orbis/Durango.
Remember most of those earlier claims of Wii U CPU inferiority were due to unoptimised code. IdeaMan has stated that of the 3 developers he knows developing for Wii U that none of them have mentioned any CPU issues.
While IdeaMan might have said that, others on NeoGAF have clearly stated that the Wii U is weaker in some aspects than the PS3 as well as 360: I remember quite a few posts by Arkham to that effect (but the community shouted him down, obviously).
So far, we don't know whether a Wii U-version of GTA 5 is in the cards. Take 2/Rockstar are going to observe the market diligently and adjust their plans accordingly - there's quite a bit of time left until the game releases.
That's your problem, not the gamesI don't know what any of that is.
Also I wish PC was day 1. I don't want to have to suffer by playing this game on PS3.
This is so early on that is is laughable to bring this up as a point of weakness right now, how did we get to this? GTA V is beyond the tech of AC3 and COD Blobs2 so it does not fit on Wii U?
Is each new release thread going to be like this now?
Ideaman confirmed Arkham's points I thought, there were a lot of headaches in the early goings with the CPU structure and it definitely wasn't playing nice with brute force code porting early on. It'd be nice if we could get an update from Arkham to see how things progressed and if they improved as dramatically for the team he was in contact with compared to the 3 teams Ideaman was.While IdeaMan might have said that, others on NeoGAF have clearly stated that the Wii U is weaker in some aspects than the PS3 as well as 360: I remember quite a few posts by Arkham to that effect (but the community shouted him down, obviously).
Pretty much. Get used to it.
So much this. This is what I'm talking about when I say people give Nintendo too much credit saying they expected them to pursue a Wii U port. Who would be telling Nintendo to do that? The figureheads of their western branches. Who does Nintendo not listen to? The figureheads of their western branches.
Why not? Nintendo was the first company that suffered from focusing too much on the casual market. It would make sense to reconnect with the enthusiast gamers.I don't think Nintendo is serious about taking a big chunk (if any chunk at all) of the hardcore market.

Btw there is no more hardcore players than kids.
To be honest I think a Saints Row would fit better on a Nintendo console than a overdramatic gta.
Just imagine.
Interactive maps. You see a map with some places to go just tap and voila! Route set.
The gamepad could work as the perfect mock up phone.
The gamepad screen could show relevant events for the missions we are doing.
Perfect mission and menu browsing.
This wont be happening in the Game Informer thread.
Might there be exclusive(timed) DLC this time around as well?
MS have more money now to offer. So sadly they might get it again.Might there be exclusive(timed) DLC this time around as well?

Thread about GTA V's likely, anticipated release date on already confirmed platforms.
Somehow turns into another circular thread about Wii U, CPU power, and Nintendo's behaviour towards third parties.

The geniuses over at GTA Forums found out what this is supposed to be:

Microsoft will have an exclusive "super hd" version on their next console, bundled with all the dlc. I'd almost bet my house on this.
Are they serious?
I would love to see an additional Free-Roam mode where you can choose your char and have to get a certain amount of money (1 Billion $) before every other (computer controlled) character. You can do this by either legal or illegal stuff.
/dream
Sounds reasonable
Same here man. The MP has so many possibilities with the possibly more expansive environment...fuckin' a.I'm looking forward to seeing some of the environments and hearing about how they plan to make the MP even better.
Sure, and I think they are actually right. Here is a similar promo cube for IV ( thanks bud23 )
Of course they are right, because it's fucking obvious.
Maybe not. I remember Rockstar saying they didn't sell as well as they were expecting, probably because it took them so goddamn long to get it out. But in that case MS may not pay that ridiculous amount for exclusive access again. They likely won't even have to in order to get the majority of sales.
