Topic: Wii U - e3 is over... now what?

[Padawan of Windu]

I just want Resident Evil 6 on Wii U right now as the Capcom announcement.  But after that ridiculous looking Apple phone Mega Man game they announced last night. Ugh, just..uGghhhhhhhhh

[Caterkiller]

Got them from Meelow on Neogaf.

Well there go the hopes of the USB ports being 3.0.

EDIT: Or maybe it's possible that they support it but aren't advertised that way, like the Wii accepting SDHC cards.

I think these are real!

Looks pretty good! Or does it? I don't know anything about anything when it comes to tech, but my eyes say "yes it looks like real life to me."

[NWR_insanolord]

It looks really impressive, but what I want to know is how it's going to play, as in what kind of modes will there be. Is it just racing, or is there some kind of career mode a la Gran Turismo or Forza?

Not likely. Unlike SDHC, USB 3.0 has additional physical pins.

If this game looks anywhere as good in motion actually running on the system as it does in these still shots, then Nintendo would be a fool to not pimp this game out to the public as the best looking console version of a sim racing game you are going to find in the near future.

Some of those pics looks like actual photos....

I really need to buy a 1080p TV this holiday season to go with my new Wii U.

I really need to buy a 1080p TV this holiday season 7 years ago to go with my new Wii U everything.

Fixed.

[Kairon]

I only just this year made it to 720p! T_T At this rate I'll be 1080 ready by 2018!

[NWR_insanolord]

That should be right around the time the TV companies start pushing an even higher resolution.

I have 2 720p HDTV's upstairs and and a 1080p downstairs.

I need a 1080p for the bedroom. 42" should be perfect.

A lot of these screenshots look awfully similar to those on the Project CARS community galleries.

I have my doubts on them being from the Wii U version. Slightly Mad Studios has been very quiet about the Wii U version of Project CARS beyond an emblem on the promotional materials and that one Powerpoint slide. I suspect that is Nintendo's doing.

My House only has a 27" 1080i CRT and a 50" 1080p 3D Plasma.  Ironically the CRT I've had for all of the Wii and part of my Gamecube days.

That should be right around the time the TV companies start pushing an even higher resolution.

That time is now.

[Drizzt]

I got a 40 inch 1080p tv for black friday the difference from 480p freaked me out.

I suppose that's not surprising. 3D didn't take off like they wanted it to and HD TV sales must be slowing down since most people have them now.

Nothing is going to support those higher resolution.  I mean the olympics are the first mainstream thing I can think of in 3D and it took forever to get general exceptance of 16:9 formatted content.

in the year 2000!

What if the PS420 supported this? Then Nintendo would be behind the times yet again. With the Wii U they would have finally caught up with the competition, but then a year or two later the goalpost shifts to 4k which the competition supports, but Nintendon't.

[NWR_insanolord]

Developers would either not support the higher resolution or not support the system. More detailed art assets are what make HD development so expensive, and this would quadruple the detail.

Developers were pretty quick and efficient to jump aboard HD gaming, because plenty of people were sick of blurry SD 480p graphics.

We barely have the horsepower to to push FULL 1080p with all effects on the consoles, and there is still plenty to push at 1080p. I doubt anyone would bee too much in a rush to support 4k considering that even in 5-10 years, hardly anyone will own a TV that can support that kind of resolution. We will be lucky if in the next 5-7yrs if Theaters even fully support that kind of resolution (outside of 1 or 2 special screening rooms).

Technically the WiiU is behind out of the gate because the PS3 does 3D, which some genre it is really great.  I have yet to hear support for 3D TVs but that can be patched in.

[BranDonk Kong]

The GameCube could do 3D, but they never implemented it. It can always be added in.
