Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on Wii U? Possibility?

[Andrien]

Abriael.. I've been patient with you up until now. I've already tried to explain the specs about the main RAM and what the eDRAM can do for the system overall performance. Now keep in mind I never said it is weaker, I'm simply pointing out how odd 12.8gb/s is. I'd give you more clues but I'm afraid you wont even get it, so I'll leave it as it is just like that.

Can't wait to play Dragon Quest X on the Wii U!

[GinTama]

all technical stuff aside, what ive seen for now is depending on how much effort devs put into porting games ,that were designed for ps3/xbox360, the wiiU is very able to play these game with better graphics. Again it depends on the effort from devs side.

Now wiiU is still in launching phase and the games right now still cant get everything out of the system, but with time the dev kits from nintendo will improve and so it will be easier for third party devs to develop for wiiU too.
Beside that who says next sony and microsoft consoles will be that much more powerful?

Its already very expensive to develop on current gen consoles (beside wii) what may be (and in my opinion is) the very reason wiiU is not that much more powerful (tech wise) that ps3/xbox360.
That is also the reason why wiiU games cost 60$/€ now because otherwise developer would not make any money.
Or do you want a console costing 800$ with games costing 80$? be cause thats probably where sony and microsoft are headed when they got on the power road again.

Higher dev cost has put a lot of game companies out of business this century because its a gamble now, if your game can get in the mony or not, more than it even was the last.

Well whatever, wiiU can very well load high res textures so it seems like the ram with half the speed of ps3 or xbox360 is not a problem. More so who says you even need more?

So i dont think a wiiU release is that far off.

Oh and everyone bitching about how its nintendo and wiiU at fault because ME3 runs crappy on wiiU, you should be ashamed of yourself. Blame the devs unable to port it right, since others could do it too.

[Zezil]

but controller with touch screen may good for this type of game... it may good idea for mmo with that joy controller.

but for wii U it impossible for that lol"so it already late for change or make new plan of anything that already out from other platform Dev Cost etc marketing...

but may ffxvii .. may up with new tablet in 2025...... lol

(Dream is possible)

[Aenarion]

talk about bias, lol

logic, past trend, and common sense.

That entirely depend on the type of game being developed. Also, keep in mind that while the cost of development has gone up like everything else with inflation, the income from a unit of game sale has barely ticked in the past decades.

Or do you want a console costing 800$ with games costing 80$? be cause thats probably where sony and microsoft are headed when they got on the power road again.

You're delusional if you actually believe that. Sony and MS aren't stupid, they'd instantly price themselves out of the market at those price level, especially given the current global economy.

So i dont think a wiiU release is that far off.

yes, because hardware spec is the only factor to consider when a company decides whether to bring a MMO to a new platform

yea, because pointing out ports that didn't turn out well to refute claims that all ports were as good or better than the original qualifies as "bitching"

[Sav]

have the naysayers even tried Wii U? i'm rather taken with it.

[neorei]

Super mario wii u is fun as hell with 5 other people, and nintendoland. the COD community on there is quite small ATM and Mass effect 3 IMO looks very very good on the wii u compared to xbox (never tried the PS3 one)

so

Dear Yoshi,

That thing looks more like an external hard drive than a gaming system
