Nintendo Console Discussion / So, we know what's freely coming to the Wii U for the year. That's SUPER!

« on: June 11, 2013, 01:30:13 PM »

A few haven't been seen at E3 yet, but are most likely coming, like COD: Ghost Dog and that PacMan platformer.


My buy list:
Deus Ex Directors Cut
Rayman
Wonderful 101
Wind Waker HD
Batman Arkham
Watch Dogs


That gives me six retail games, which isnt' too bad. Not counting eshop titles, I will probably get several of those as well.

"So, I just won like $200 million dollars in Powerball.  ...It's okay, I guess. Y'know. Whatever."

Nintendo Console Discussion / Xbox One has the "infinite power of the cloud" Why not Wii U?

« on: May 24, 2013, 05:36:20 PM »

I personally think this off-load processing to the cloud concept for the Xbone is a farce, but maybe the technology will get there someday.



But really, I can't think of any hardware requirements that would prevent other consoles from doing this as well. Sony is doing something similar with GaiKai.

I doubt Nintendo would ever do this, but what's to stop a third party from releasing an always online game that uses cloud processing on the 360, PS3, PC, PS4, Xbox One, and the Wii U? WatchDogs is already rumoured to be always online for all platforms.

If I put my fanboy hat on, this could give more horsepower to the Wii U!

Nintendo Console Discussion / Resident Evil: Revelations. Chris is a Sailor!

« on: May 21, 2013, 07:18:31 PM »

Picked this up at Fred Meyer today, they only had one disc left. Did they only order one or did they sell the other copies?

Update right out of the box. This seems to be becoming the standard for all new games, not just Wii U.

Miiverse popups are optional.

I just signed up for ResidentEvil.net I knew not that it existed.Crap! my link code isn't working. Thanks, CRAPCOM.

Now who wants to play online!?!

General Gaming / Why don't games use photo-digitized textures?

« on: May 20, 2013, 12:43:49 PM »

You would think with all the graphic-whoring you have these days, photo-digitized textures would be all the rage. I can't think of another game that has done it since Max Payne One? Imagine what you could do with today's technology.


Can anyone else point out a game that has used this?

Grouchy old UB recently revealed he moderates another forum. Let's get some internet detectives on the case and find out which one it is!

NWR Feedback / Is it possible to prune threads instead of locking them?

« on: May 13, 2013, 11:22:21 AM »

I'm tired of my threads getting locked because radical extremists from both sides defecate all over them.

Can we prune out the "Bush and Obama are Pirate Slut Trolls" content so a thread doesn't go to waste?

Remember when UncleBob did more than scold bad posters and get in arguments with trolls?

Bring back the UncleBob who would spend $100 for a Holographic variant Mario sticker and owns 15 colors of Gameboys.

Nintendo Console Discussion / Lego City Undercover - It's all about Frank Honey

« on: April 19, 2013, 03:14:25 AM »

This game is funny! I liked all the cameos at the police station.

Only thing I don't like so far is the long-long loadtimes. I guess they don't use streaming? But they hang a lampshade on that early on.

Also, I've had the audio on dialog cut out a few times. Good thing I had subtitles turned on.
