FFXIV on Nintendo WII U

[zaviermhigo]

Supposed hardcore games? Really? Ninja Gaiden 3 is SUPPOSED to be hardcore? Assassin's creed too i guess is suppsoed and so is darksiders II.... i wonder what is so much more hardcore on PS3... oh wait....let me guess.. is is...Ninja Gaiden 3? Dude if you have nothing smart to say just shut up.

I said it was a matter of opinion. You come off so nintendo fanboy. Calm down if someone doesn't think that game is hardcore, if I can beat a game in a day because its easy mode, I really don't consider that game hardcore. I don't consider a game hardcore if there's no incentive to replay it. These two things are based on OPINION. which differ's from person to person, there isn't even a set definition for hardcore gaming. You shouldn't call people dumb when they don't give a crap about your nintendo fandom and their just hear to talk about their opinion about nintendo wii u on e3.

Not being a fanboy at all, i just hate stupid comments. An hardcore game is not what YOUR opinion is. It's actually an official definition to define a particular type of game aimed at "hardcore gamers". You say your definition of an hardcore game is the replaybility factor? So in that case.. mario party could be considered by a lot of pple to give a good incentive to replay it as you put it.... yet nobody in the whole world besides you would consider that game for the hardcore.

And yes i write in bold cuz i like to do so.

Odd... I look up official definition for 'hardcore game' and it doesn't give me an 'official' definition that said that its a particular type of game aimed at 'hardcore gamers' It tells me to look at the definition of 'hardcore gamers'.

Definition for hardcore game:
Hardcore gamer is a widely used term applied to describe a type of video game player. There is currently no unanimously agreed upon definition for the term. Some describe hardcore gamers as those whose leisure time is largely devoted to playing video games.

Anything I saw about 'hardcore game' usually goes into the 'gamers' themselves and one link I saw even said that hardcore gamers tend to stay away from consoles such as the Wii. Conversations I did find on 'what makes a hardcore game' always seem to end the same way as well which is basically that a hardcore game is whatever that specific person finds hardcore and isn't a specific type of game officially, but 'hardcore games' and 'hardcore gamers' depend on the person you speak to.

Actually many gaming sites also say hardcore 'in their opinion' is whatever they think it is. So yes it does seem that while a lot of people do agree that 'x' game can be considered a 'hardcore game' and due to that games within that category are labeled 'hardcore games', it is also dependent on the person playing the games and there is no 100% set definition on what a 'hardcore game' is.

I think the best quote I found is as follows:

If hardcore gamers are people who are in love with gaming, hardcore games are games made for those with that kind of enthusiasm. In other words, hardcore games are games that aren't aimed towards the mass market, the casual, the people who don't have that same affection for gaming as you do.

So it still seems hardcore, while some games have fallen into that label, is all about the gamer and the affection for gaming. So while yes some games do fall into what people consider hardcore, you can't tell someone that a hardcore game isn't about their opinion because to be honest gaming is all about the players opinion, what they like, don't like etc.

I’m sure you’ll say I’m wrong or stupid etc… you seem to be putting a lot of people down in this thread who don’t agree with you. In the end it’s all about an opinion and people are allowed to have those if others like it or not.

Well official tech specs haven't been released yet but IMB are making the processor and they said:

Like IBM, who today issued a press release boasting some of the Wii U's hardware specifications, including the fact the microprocessor serving as "the heart" of the console is a custom 45nm chip, with embedded DRAM that "is capable of feeding the multi-core processor large chunks of data to make for a smooth entertainment experience".

They said it does 1080p and also takes SD and USB external HDD as additional storage. Devs have said it is a very capable console at the very least on par with the 360 and PS3 so should be able to run FFXIV.

Now if they can get this on the Wii U I would love it just think of the possibilities with that controller. You got the touch screen on controller which could have all your action bars and macro bars on so you can just quickly touch them. It could have a chat/keyboard button which would change the screen to keyboard layout so you can type out a message. It could house all your widgets and chat log so you to clear clutter up from your screen. You could put the mini map on it or your parties HP bars so you can keep a close eye on them.

I really think it could be great on the Wii U, of course the biggest problem would be getting SE to put all these idea's into action and not just do a straight port.

So according to what you are quoting it has a multicore processor that is 45nm that has some embedded DRAM. How does that give you any sense if it will be better than the PS3/360? 45nm processors came out in 2008, so this is nothing new.

I didn't say that did, I said devs said "it was very capable and at the very least on par with the 360 and PS3" I was just watching GTTV and they were interviewing someone from EA who was asked if Battlefield would be coming to it and he said that DICE were looking at it and with the new controller and the power of Frostbite 2 they said they had some interesting idea's.

They also asked them how powerful it was and if it was as powerful as the PS3/360 and thats when he said it was at least on par and they had no problems with the machines capabilities.

I don't see why not.

The second screen could be useful.

There's only 2 games for the new Wii U most of us wants, Zelda & Metroid Prime HD remakes, and possibly a new Metroid Prime game. (if only...)
So ya i agree, FFXIV should be PS3 & PC only.

[Shikyo]

the game needs to be completed for at least pc 1st , no?

[Joeking]

I don't see FFXIV being played on a controller.

Chances of seeing it on Wii U 0.0000000000000000000000000¼%
