FFXIV on Nintendo WII U

[Dubont]

Wii:U does not need 8 cores to have graphics on par with PS3..... as much as some dont want to accept, the 360 and PS3 look almost the same, and so will the Wii:U

I own all 3 systems and both handhelds, I can say myself using the same TV (46 LCD btw) games that are on both PS3 and 360, look the same, first party titles look better, but that can be said for both systems.

games that are ported to the PS3 will naturally look the same on the 360 because the it's a port. Like you said, first party games look better, yes, of course, but the only reason shared games look the same is because most are ports to the PS3 instead of ports to the 360.

The PS3 is known for its inability to use its own hardware. While it may have 8 cores, it can't utilize them all at once.

This is why it's not hard to out do the PS3 with less than 8 cores.

1 is deactivated automatically. It has 1 ppe (power processing element) and 6 SPE (Synergistic Processing Elements). So yes, it uses every core available to it when the game programmers decide to make it so (Uncharted 2 for example)

I dont give a rat's ass if they used PS3 or 360 footage, as they have admitted to it and said that their games will be as great, then that's enough info for me to buy it.

Nintendo isn't notorious as Microsoft is for their Kinect screw-up.

YEAH! Nintendo can do no wrong, guys!

Except Virtual Boy. And making the N64 cartridge-based when everyone else was switching to disc-based media. And creating their own worst enemy in the PlayStation. And the botched deal with Philips. And the 64DD. And creating an underpowered console that needs a replacement further down the road to get up to par with current generation hardware. And having no real online solution on said underpowered console. And friend codes. And using footage from other consoles to try (and fail) to indicate what their console will be capable of in the future.

NO WRONG!

nintendo gave no number about there hardware but like always the next system is always stronger than the last generation.
and nintendo said this time gameplay isnt enough, so there gonna put more in the hardware.

Good god the Virtual Boy.... my eyes..... for the love of god my eyes........

*cough* anyway, no company is perfect, but Nintendo is the best at turning poop into gold ;p

What keeps me coming back to Nintendo systems are the games I grew up with (yeah I know corny) If I could not play a Mario/Zelda/Metroid game every system I would die as a gamer inside. I have to place Super Smash Bros. in that list now as well, because since the N64 version, is has been one of my favorite fighters.

Alot of the hate people give for Nintendo is normally based off miss information and bias reviews. I know a few people that say the Wii is the stupidest thing ever, they never have even picked up a Wiimote, then they go back to playing their Halo or Call of Duty.... makes me sad really.

I would say that they're not that far off. I own a Wii, and while I think it's okay, it's not the incredibly awesome revolutionary gaming machine people think it is. The best games on it are mostly first-party titles, and even then the motion control elements tend to be clunky. As for third-party games, it's even worse (FUCK YOU, SKELETON PIRATES FROM ZACK & WIKI! FUCK, FUCK, FUCK YOU!).

The only reason Nintendo is going with this new iPad-style controller is that it's the only way to appease traditional gamers (and developers) who want traditional controls AND remain as the company that tries quirky new gimmicks.

I thought the Nintendo Press event was pretty good, but at the same time i am totally and completely pissed there is 0 news on 4 currently JP only titles. Earth Seeker, Pandora's Tower, Xenoblade, and of course The Last Story. I cannot imagine what the hell they are thinking and I hate how Nintendo always handles the ending phase of their consoles and handhelds.

You really love to exaggerate everything i effin say..

Nintendo isn't perfect, but they do not turn something that seems awesome into something that sucks shit. (Ex. Kinect, XBOX360)

Another thing is that Nintendo actually uses their goddamn imaginations/brains and develop new ways to play games, and not the same lackluster Controller and TV. Graphics are not the most important part of gaming, and that's the mistake these producers have a hard time realizing.

LOL @ you saying it already failed at delivering. In fact, I'm just about ready to believe you are a 360/Sony fanboy. The fact of the matter is, it doesn't really matter wtf footage they used on the Wii U. If they can't deliver on that, then yes, they have failed, and it wouldn't be the first time. Heaven forbid Nintendo try to find new ways to play games.

[Scherwiz]

ok... I'm seeing people talking about Nintendo showing PS3 and or Xbox360 footage. This is fairly common practice and happens quite a lot.

For Instance Sony used Project Gotham Pictures when promoting the PS3

Square Enix used super imposed Xbox 360 buttons on PS3 FFXIII Images for promotion.

And Probably the best current example is all Battlefield 3 videos, demos and promotions are all PC footage, Nothing from either console has been shown.

You have this wicked vein throbbing in your forehead. Did you know that?

Sure, experimentation is good. The motion control gimmick of the Wii brought some new and interesting ways to play games. I'd also say that it was a bit sketchy at times though; motions that require absolute precision to execute, or motions that were awkward or demonstrated poorly come to mind. Early games tended to suffer more than later ones though, but I guess that comes with the territory. On the other hand, how hard would it have been to create a traditional controller with the same motion controls in it? I'd say "not very", considering that's what Sony's Sixaxis controller was.

I'll admit that the tablet controller is probably a great idea, as I think it'll be useful for implementing interface elements and the like. Hopefully it's not as awkward to hold as it looks.

Sorry, I'm part of the glorious PC gaming master race. KB&M for life, yo. :3
