Re: Wii U Discussion

why on earth would a gamer want 3 systems to be carbon copys?

I'm not sure why having components that are as powerful as he competitors means that they would be a "carbon copy". They can do this tablet stuff without the hardware being instantly outdated. The whole reason they are doing a weaker system is to avoid selling the system at a loss, not simply because they are trying to be "innovative".

Re: Wii U Discussion

I also think that the Wiis processing of the memory will be bottlenecked so it might not be as powerful as letting off

Agree, the earlier poster saying the U is "packed" with 2gb of ram had me rereading some of their posts to make sure they really were trying to pass that off as a lot.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Im not dumping on the wiiu but I dont think its all they're making it out to be, and jmood is right, they definitely did this to keep their own costs down

I am frankly tired of being on the bad side of that... people say well the company's goal is to make money... well blow me down

Good old customer service and quality is taking the hit as a result of alot of these companies only worried about the bottom line

Re: Wii U Discussion

Hopefully our BB will have one set up by the weekend.
I'm still excited for it but would love to get hands on something other than Rayman

I think a lot of the concerns I'm reading are valid and some of the decisions don't make any sense to me. I don't shoot for achievements/trophies but I know a lot of people who do. I expected this next generation to take the achivements/trophies to the next level by making them worth something.

Redeeming points for items, early demo access, or even free DLC would make a lot of sense to me especially for a new system . They need to draw in Achievements/trophies hunters by doing more than xbox and ps and then retain them. It's hard to jump ship to another system when you have built up achievements so securing early adapters is key.

That being said is it irrational of me to say that if Zombie U is awesome than I will feel compelled to leave work to stand in line for a Wii U on launch day?

Yeah, it remains to be seen what the experience will be that developers can squeeze from it, but things like 2gb of ram certainly goes a long way to temper expectations. Think only half of that is available for games right, thought I read at some point half is reserved at all times for the OS?

Re: Wii U Discussion

Can't say one way or another if that's true, but the bottleneck is somewhere

Re: Wii U Discussion

Well the good thing is I have one reserved. If it doesn't pan out I should have zero issues selling it.

Again, beating a game and having the experience is what I play for. Not trophies etc...
Same reason online isn't a big deal as I rarely play online anymore.

I just want SMB, Paper Mario, Pikmen, Animal Crossing to play on some relaxing evenings.. etc...
Which = Nintendo.

Say what you will but those games have huge following and is reason 1, IMO, why they always have successful systems, despite what "we" want or expect in the system.

Im not a trophy guy myself but that just seems to be one thing all of this online stuff is tied into which many claim is the future in gaming

Yep. I mean I guess things like that add to the overall gaming experience.
Think it's more of "We don't know how else to advance the gaming industry" than anything else.
Really does feel like it's all about prettier and add-ons as we've seemed to hit a brick wall as far as AI and advancements inside the games.

Re: Wii U Discussion

I don't agree with it myself and im surely not a big online fan because of my own reasons

I feel like the SP experience has been gimped becuase of the catering to online stuff

Couldn't agree more. Another reason why just sitting and playing games I've loved for years, is worth it to me.
If I can fire up a new SMB etc.. and have a great SP experience, I'll be happy.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Well then WiiU is for you with the one cheap tablet controller right? LOL

Re: Wii U Discussion

It's not even a question to me really. I'm going to buy it because I buy everything. GOD I'M GLAD I'M SO RICH!!

Seriously I wouldn't recommend that someone buy this as their only console, but it will complement the others very well, I'm sure.
