If the WiiU can run this, I'll be happy as a fucking clam.
For a next gen system, that should be too bad at a meager 1080p, right? What kind of PC does it take to run that at said resolution, at a mostly stable 30fps?

Jesus christ yes!
I was just suggesting something if he really wanted to do it so chill out man.
How about a large-scale team based online shooter where one player on each team acts as the commander and draws out a battle plan (with specific roles for individual players or classes) on the map displayed on the tablet screen? The strategist can receive intel about the enemy's activity and the flow of battle from (non-killed) units via microphone, and use it to update the plan, which can be sent out to every team mate's DRC at any point. Maybe there could be an engineer class that could set up a camera so the commander would be able to get a real time view of a section of the battlefield. Also, the commander can punish units who ignore the directives and play it like a standard run and gun shooter.Battalion Wars multiplayer on TV with the tablet player acting as field general with overhead radar and intel and whatnot.

It would be a hardcore shooter designed for the patient, and thus unlikely to appear on consoles with the current climate, but it could be truly amazing.

I think the userbase perceptions will still factor in significantly.
PSP got a port of Dante's inferno. Wii did not.
Sometimes userbase doesnt even matter. See the disastrous beginning of Rockband on Wii. After the explosion of GH on Wii, Harmonix/EA were catching up a year a year later. Rock band was perfect for the Wii's audience and the Wii was at the height of its popularity.
There are forces at work that I don't completely understand.
I really doubt it can.If the WiiU can run this, I'll be happy as a fucking clam.
Thanks!whoa... that sounds freaking awesome. shit, i'd play a single player game like this
I haven't seen that actually. Watching now.That's a little like the Ghost Recon trailer, right? Well, your version seems quite a bit more fleshed out than what they showed there.

Its called stupidity. This generation has clearly shown that the so called industry professionals are clueless. The video game industry has to be the most badly run sector of the entire computer/electronic's industry. I swear to God my university professors will flip at a lot of the decisions the top men of this industry make. I refuse to believe the majority of "experts" in this industry perform any form of "risk management" before they approve a new project.

Do you think it would help if Nintendo, on launch, did have a few high profile mainstream games aimed directly at the GeOW, Call of Duty, Halo, etc crowd? I'm talking titles that are developed by Retro and maybe Capcom(not a stretch considering), which can make most current gen stuff look pretty iffy. I know that is a best case scenario outside of getting an exclusive GTA or something, but do you think it would do anything? I'm not even sure anymore...
I still refuse to believe there was no Star Wars Light Saber game. That shit had more free money written on it than a FFVII remake, and it still didn't get to us some how.
I think expecting no UE4 on Wii U would be the best approach.
I really doubt it can.
There is a new sticker on the hardware, saying "Powered by S...." >_<
We'll find out when they publicly announce it, but here is that comment from the mod I mentioned.
I highly doubt it.
I think a lot of people would be happier if they simply had realistic expectations. I expect hardware about on par with 360/PS3, and for them to show off Pikmin, NSMB, a minigame collection that takes advantage of the new controller and a teaser of a new Mario, Zelda or Smash Bros. That's it.

Yeah, it's pretty slick.It's probably the best third party trailer of a recent Nintendo product I've seen… well, in a long while. It doesn't go HEY LOOK AT THIS SPECIAL FEATURE THING ISN'T IT GREAT the whole time, it just sort of silently inserts the new functionality into the commercial, and you're left to be impressed by the ability to do something new in addition to the normal, fun experience you're already used to.
edit: I meant in terms of product presentation -- I do see why some people were annoyed by the actors
This is why it's really important to keep the core gamer momentum up this time around. Nintendo can't afford to pull the kind of shenanigans they did in 2008.Look at the success of early core games on Wii. RE4, Red Steel, etc. There was a userbase for these types of games initially. The problem is support never came and it was eventually crystal clear that if you wanted those types of games you had to buy another console.
Mr. Negativity, indeed
The best approach is the one that doesn't lead to massive hype implosions. Don't set yourself up for disappointment.
If Wii U sees UE4 I'll be very, very pleased, but right now I can see a big chance that it won't happen.
Can't you swing back into doom mode here?
We're just gettin' started. Watch the shitstorm continue.
I know I'm gonna love it. But then again, I've been a Nintendo-only gamer in terms of console gaming - so I'm going to see a leap from GameCube all the way to beyond the 360. That's gonna be a pretty blissful jump.I've learned that reasonable but optimistic expectations are best. Expecting the worst actually leads to greater disappointment due to making you more cynical. If I enter expecting the worst and I get the worst, I'll still be disappointed, but if I expect better I'll look for the good parts so that I stay happy.
As it stands, at least two "insiders" said that Nintendo was adjusting their hardware a bit for third-party needs. In addition, the only physical thing the Wii U's GPU really needs to get added to it to run UE4 or any other DX11-based engine if it is indeed based on R700 is a better tessellation unit. However, it's probably based on something a bit newer than that, like the 5000 series. Basically, Nintendo would have to be actively trying to avoid running UE4 for it to be technically incapable. It wouldn't really save them any money, and tessellation actually has gameplay applications that Nintendo isn't likely to ignore. I'd say that there's a 90% chance of Wii U having the capabilities needed to run UE4.
Now, you're basically expecting an overclocked 360. That means that that's what you're going to be looking for, and it's going to cause flaws to stand out more than they would if you were optimistic. Basically, Nintendo's going to have to absolutely blow you away for you to be impressed. You'll know that you're entering with the lowest possible expectations, and if it only meets those expectations, you'll know that it only met your most pessimistic expectations and you'll blame Nintendo for not doing better. Meanwhile, if you enter with the best possible expectations and it doesn't meet them, you just think that you set your expectations too high and you'll eventually be more accepting.
I highly doubt it.

If the rumour of EA and co. pushing for a normal generational jump pans out then I think a crash will most definitely happen. As an IT professional I find it very difficult and hard to accept some of the decisions that are being made by top executives at a lot of video game companies. A person can model a "Do's and Don't s" computer project management text book for university students based on the shit that went down this generation.

Well.. to me it seems like we have people with the judgement skills of high school boys making big decisions at these companies. "Duuuuuh.. ME MAKE PRETTY GAME" seems to be the order of the day; damn the budget or anything sustainable, haha!!!If the rumour of EA and co. pushing for a normal generational jump pans out then I think a crash will most definitely happen.

How many gigaflops is that pushing?

By the way, that's the first time I've seen a pond with a waterfall.

Yep.As for hardware on par with PS360, there are still conflicting reports for the most part, so I guess I'm just being pessimistic and remembering back to the graphics rumors about the Wii pre-E3 2006.
Unreal Engine 3 runs on Wii U, but that doesn't mean we should expect it to run Samaritan.Don't we already know that Cryengine 3 runs on it? If so, it's just a matter of scaling back, if anything.
Would the PS360 be able do it? Then the Wii U should be able to do it. I don't think Nintendo has any interest in targeting specs much higher than today's systems. Not trolling here, but if they're trying to save money this would make since. This formula made Nintendo too much money with the Wii, it would be stupid not to do it with the Wii U. Losing money on hardware is more of a concern to Nintendo than not getting as much third party support down the road. Nintendo is focusing on their strengths with this system, it'd be a losing battle to fight with Sony and MS in the high spec space. Nintendo's main focus right now actually should be making Wii U have a lucrative business model where third party's can make money without too much risk involved and less limitations to what they can and cannot do.If the WiiU can run this, I'll be happy as a fucking clam.
Yep.
If I am being negative, it's because in the past I've felt the sting of being let down when I was expecting too much. I'll be very satisfied if Nintendo exceed my (imo) reasonable expectations.
Goddamn the Gloom & Doom in this bitch is stifling.
We need to come to a consensus on realistic vs. pessimistic outlooks.
And why Wii U's GPU will be key in determining how big the gap will be.
This feels so dirty and wrong. I wish when they market a 4000 dollar card it would truly be a 4,000 dollar card. :-S
Realistic: Enough of an increase to have games that will look noticeably better.Goddamn the Gloom & Doom in this bitch is stifling.
We need to come to a consensus on realistic vs. pessimistic outlooks.
got my e3 badge today. step one of my plan is complete. next step: getting a day off from work.
I, uh...um...
What an utterly bizarre argument.
Would the PS360 be able do it?
Goddamn the Gloom & Doom in this bitch is stifling.

Personally the only people I think who can have realistic expectations are the few who have inside info.
