Title: Tantalus making a Wii U port of a PS4/XONE/PC game.
Post by: Phil on February 26, 2015, 03:35:22 PM
The studio who ported Mass Effect 3 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut to Wii U are porting a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One game to the system. It's the studio's biggest project yet, according to them, and it's coming this year. Also, the studio is porting a Wii U game to the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Any guesses?

On topic: Like I said in the thread I made (at the exact same time as you) It's gotta be DESTINY. Even the logo has a Wii U symbol in it. AND if you remember the launch video for Destiny they even quote "MY BODY IS READY".
Wii to Next Gen: if its not ZombiU I'd be quite surprised.

Seems like a waste to port Destiny at this point considering how long it's been out on other platforms and the somewhat middling reaction it got, but there's a decent chance I'd be interested, depending on the quality/price.
As for the port from Wii U, what else is there aside from ZombiU that would even be an option? Not like there's a ton of third party exclusives to choose from.

I somewhat agree but Destiny has only been out 6 months, which if you consider the port history of the Wii U is pretty much par for the course.
As for the Port Out, almost everything else that could be considered is exclusive to Nintendo save for Sonic and Zombiu

Delayed ports are a rigged game anyway because you can likely assume that a lot of the target audience got the game on the earlier systems it was released for unless they had no other way to get it. That's why last gen Sony and MS would set up deals to get timed exclusives. Any delayed Wii U port is going to not sell as well as it theoretically could have if it got a simultaneous release.
This situation gets worse however if the game fails to live up to the hype which is something that has happened a little too often with this gen thus far. We saw it with Watch Dogs. The reviews for that game weren't that great. On the PS4/XB1 it's this big hyped up AAA game. On the Wii U it's a mediocre title. Destiny would share the same fate. You either already own Destiny or you've heard over the last several months that the game isn't all that good. You think it would have sold as well on the other consoles on its own merits? The game sold on hype. Now the game has a poor reputation and that's going to sell copies on the Wii U? Of course it won't. But you figure Activision isn't going to take that into account. They'll expect it to be successful and be pissed off when it isn't and then make future decisions about Wii U support based on that, just like every other third party.
These companies are assuming success without analysing if they deserve it. Mass Effect 3 is the ultimate screw up in this regard. The game was pretty much rigged to fail, and yet EA never admitted they screwed up. Nope they've just been pissy at Nintendo because they figured that they could release anything in any context and it would sell.
I hope that this title is one that is currently in development for the other consoles at the same time and will release on all three on the same day. Then the Wii U gets a fair deal. It happened on the Wii with the Guitar Hero games. The Wii ones were handled by a different team but from the fourth one onwards got simultaneous releases. Same with the Call of Duty games I believe.
Though if it is Destiny and Activision has realistic expectations where they just want to make a few extra sales from Wii U owners then it should be fine. Or they're working on a sequel that they want to release on all platforms, Wii U included, so this would just be to build up interest in the franchise on the Wii U. It's a good move if they're aiming small.

I agree that the Wii U game being ported to PS4/etc. has to be ZombiU. The Wii U doesn't have any other noteworthy 3rd party games outside Bayonetta 1&2 (and we know those are off-limits due to Nintendo publishing them).
As for the PS4/Xbone game being ported to Wii U, Destiny's certainly the most likely candidate. As crappy as that game is, it did sell very well and quite a few people have convinced themselves that addiction=fun. However, looking at my shelf of PS4 games, one other game that stands out to me is The Evil Within. The game already looked like crap, so it's not the most graphically intensive game to begin with. It already has a PS3 & 360 version, so those versions could be the base of a Wii U port. Also, as a 3rd person shooterit would be a good candidate for Wiimote support.
The other possibility that stood out to me would have been CoD: Advanced Warfare, but that didn't even have a PS3 or 360 version so I heavily doubt that.

The developer said it was not an "M" rated game so those options are all for not. To Ian's point, if it is a port of game not yet released than I would say it, PROJECT CARS. We know that Slightly Mad stopped making the game on last gen systems due to apparent hardware limitations and that the Wii U version is coming at a later date. I can't see how that would be a bigger project than ME 3 or Deus Ex(which was fantastic on WiiU). Could be a sports title or NFS: RIVALS. Everything else is either M rated or a smaller indie title.

Other possibilities:
Kingdom Hearts 3 Final Fantasy 15 The Crew Naruto 4 (makes sense considering )
Title: Re: Tantalus making a Wii U port of a PS4/XONE/PC game.
Post by: broodwars on February 26, 2015, 06:15:23 PM
Kingdom Hearts 3 Final Fantasy 15 The Crew Naruto 4 (makes sense considering )
Of those 4, only The Crew is even remotely a possibility. Square-Enix won't waste anything on making a Wii U version of FF 15 or KH 3 (nor are either of those 2 anywhere near in a place where a porting team would've been called in). Naruto's not likely, just because it's such a minor game I don't see why Namdai would bother at this point.
Now, if you want to talk about Namdai games, Tales of Symphonia HD makes a lot of sense being ported to Wii U, but it's a PS3 game so that would have to be ruled out.
Honestly, whatever it is I'm sure it'll be underwhelming, as usual.

Post by: Ymeegod on February 26, 2015, 07:16:04 PM
Actually Bayonetta 2 still is ? at this point since there's plenty of loopholes for the developers/IP holders (PG/sega). In the past the easiest way to break the "exclusive" clause was to rename the title to something like Bayonetta 2nd Strike or something.
And there's one last noteworthy 3rd party title that has a possibility of being ported, Lego City Undercover. Again, Nintendo published it but it could have been just time exclusive for all we know.

But Activision is not an "absolute top notch publisher." Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate or Bayonetta 2 will be ported to Xbone/PS4/PC, Grand Theft Auto V will be ported to Wii U. No other game would even make sense at this point.

Post by: Soren on February 26, 2015, 07:41:17 PM
Tantalus/Straight Right have been working on this thing since at least January last year because that's when the original listings went out and that's when the rumor started. Crago just confirmed it on the podcast interview that I linked in the Gaf post. I put it on the rumor thread because I hadn't listened to the interview and that dude could have been playing around.
It can't be Project CARS. We already know the Wii U version exists, why would they try and hide it?
My best (and totally crazy) guesses based on the "biggest yet" comment: Destiny, Kingdom Hearts 3, The Crew, Shadow of Mordor or Evolve(because asymmetrical multiplayer).
Whatever it is, it will be great. Straight Right is 2 for 2 with ME3 and Deus Ex in terms of high quality ports.
As for the XBone/PS4 port, it's either ZombiU, Sonic Lost World or Lego City Undercover (or Funky Barn).
The other possibility that stood out to me would have been CoD: Advanced Warfare, but that didn't even have a PS3 or 360 version so I heavily doubt that.

How peculiar! I really thought we would see zilch in terms of more retail third party games for the duration, aside from shovel-warey stuff or music/dance games. Although, could this be a music game? It's kind of hard to fathom one of the major publishers wasting energy on a "core"-type franchise for WiiU, given the demographic, and Rayman Legends seems to have sealed the fate of any retail-level platforming games getting greenlit for the PS4/Xbone ecosystem.
Destiny I doubt, as it's so dependent on being online, and even if that was workable with Nintendo's infrastructure, the potential player population would create a ghost-town, rendering it moot. Not much else out there that isn't M-Rated. I would guess maybe Minecraft, but again the WiiU isn't a feasible enough money-maker for Microsoft to gift us a port post-Mojang purchase.
As for the outgoing port, Nintendo funded Bayonetta 2, so no way. Zombii U might be the only candidate, though that itself would be bizarre given how long the game has been out, and also its very mixed reception. Lego City was partially funded by Nintendo, right?

When did he say that?
Taken from the interview in the OP
Joss Elis, Director of Development: ]It is a ‘port’ but more of a complete rework for the Wii U: a bit like the work we did on Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut I can’t say what the title is but it is very exciting and is for an absolute top notch publisher. This game will be credited Tantalus … it’s not an MA / 18 or ‘hard core’ game which ME-3 and DX:HR are.

So that pretty much narrows down the list to Destiny or The Crew. And with Ubisoft's stance on Wii U....

Back when Destiny was announced (2012 or so) Wii U was actually one of the announced platforms for it. It was very quietly dropped from the list of platform year later.
GTA V would be cool.
For Wii U up-port to xbox/ps, my idea would Lego City. The production values in this game are WAAAAAAY too high to keep this game only on one platform. The game's cutscenes and voice-acting (in all European languages, and using top-shelf voice talent across the board) make me think it was part of some kind of multi-media effort with cartoon show and toy line attached to it. There was Lego City toy line and some shorts on TV (with the same characters from the game), but the game exclusivity stalled the project dead.
Every time i watched this game's cutscenes i couldn't help but wonder that they're part of some kind of feature movie that was retooled into a game. And that Nintendo came in relatively late to the project and grabbed exclusive rights for the game part of this project.
My nephew LOVES to play this game on my Wii U when he is coming over. He knew about this game though a Lego toyline and by watching Let's Play videos.
I think WB/Lego company might try to relaunch the multi-media project. If we assume that the publisher for both up-port (Wii U --> XB/PS) and late down-port (XB/PS --> Wii U) is the one and same -- the good candidate for downport would be Shadow or Mordor.
I might actually get this game again on PC if they manage to fix loading times. And vice verse -- i would gladly get Shadow of Mordor on Wii U -- i was planning to get the game anyway later this year. Provided they included all DLC in -- it will be an easy purchase.
Bayonetta 2 upport is much likely as W101 -- as in impossible. Not just because of Nintendo, but also because Platinum as well. After Bayonetta PS3 disaster Platinum will never ever outsource their own ports.
Zombi U is another great candidate.

And why would Ubisoft, a company with over 9000 employees (I swear that's not a Dragon Ball Z reference) outsource a port?
I doubt it's Destiny, though. T-rated or not, it's pretty much in the same ballpark of content that Mass Effect 3 is, and heaven forbid a 3rd party release a game that might show the Nintendo Network to be competent.
I'll take a shot at them being responsible for the Wii U version of Guitar Hero 2k15. Either that, or the FFXIII trilogy.

GTA V has decent potential, if online heists are included then bonus points.
If it is Destiny, then who gives a ****? An over hyped piece of trash gets a Wii U port. Woooo.
Evil Within.....No.
KH3 I guess is a possibility, but unlikely.
Shadow of Mordor would be nice.
FFXIII trilogy, again, a possibility, but unlikely.

Its the perfect strategy for third parties, release a bunch of crap nobody buys, follow it up next year with nothing then HYPE up a return to releasing crap and everyone lines up to buy it out of desperation to keep 3rd party support from completely drying up and they will repeat the process next gen.

This topic is depressing. I don't know which part is worse: being exciting that Wii U is actually receiving a port to bolster the small library of games, or looking at the list of games that might get released and realizing I just don't care about any of them.
On the upside, I think Tantalus did excellent work previously... so maybe things will end up better than I expect.

The guy says it is not a "hard core" game. Well wouldn't something like Destiny count as such? It's probably some casual focused or kid focused nonsense that sells well but none of us would give the slightest **** about. Or a sports game, maybe? If it involves shooting stuff then he would probably classify that as "hard core". Minecraft fits that description but why would MS port it to a competitor?

Not too mention all the episode 7 cash in games coming down the line plus the following:
They previously worked with EA
AND
it's not a Mature title
AND
its most defiantly a bigger IP than both Mass Effect and Deus Ex. Not sure if its running Frostbite* but we know EA has it up and running on Wii U

I think we need to take a step back here and think about what is potentially viable here, even after a year of being in the works.
Obviously, a PS4/xBone port is going to come out after the initial release, but it also needs to be something that the publishers legitimately think has staying power on Wii U. What sort of game would that be?

Not new info:
While this mystery project will release on PS4 XB1 and PC, it should be noted that the port will most likely be a version of the PC. I don't know if that helps but I'm pretty sure that excludes this game being DESTINY since there is no PC ver.
Also a new Star Wars: Battlefront trailer is expected this week since GDC is starting in a few hours. Did a little bit a e-slouthing and it looks more like this is the game. However, since I have no solid info I will reframe from calling this a lock. Still in the dark about the port out.

Battlefront makes the most sense but I'm still skeptical of EA and the fact that it would be an unreleased game coming to Wii U.

Yeah yeah I know it's Kuchera, but hear me out on this. What if Bungie and Activision announce PC and Wii U ports at the same time??
Possible. Forgive me for talking out my ass but it seems much harder to port a game to Wii U from PS/XB. Optimizing code for the Wii U and PC simultaneously may be the smarter more efficient way. Plus 10,000,000 consoles shipped may have been the threshold bungie brass were waiting for. Lastly, if destiny is really a 10 year game (bullshit but I'll play ball) a few months on the late port won't hurt much

I was close to buying it on 360 so a Wii U port of Destiny would be a cool perk for me.

I have it on PS4, its a pretty good game I don't get what the hate is but it would be a good fit for Wii U I think. Star Wars would be better but who is to say that isn't also coming just from a different studio? Maybe the Wii U's fortunes are actually going to turn around after all?

based on Sega's recent announcement Shenmue is officially off the table at this point I would think. With good reason, talk about a game that is all hype, well deserved hype maybe but way over rated.
Talking about Shenmue, I wonder what the chances are we'll ever get a port of that Yakuza 1/2 HD release? SICK BURN!
[Uh, cuz that series is basically Shenmue, really.]

Why are you skeptical? Maybe EA was required to make a Wii U version by Disney's demand and they didn't want to spend internal resources to work on it. So they gave it to the studio that did a more than competent job on a couple of their previous games that they released on Wii U even with low sales.

Rock Band 4 is out of the question and that's an EA published title so if they weren't planning on bringing over a casual game to the WII U I doubt they are willing to bring over Starwars.
My best guess would be the new Guitar Hero game that will be announced at E3. 1. Tantalus never worked with Activision meaning it would be an new publisher for them so it's a step up from Square/Enix. 2. it's a casual game that targets the core of WII U owners.

I would hope not. I think we can all agree the Wii U doesn't need any more peripherals.

It doesn't need to. Just reuse your Wii peripherals.

They could include drumstick shaped styluses so you could play right on the GamePad.

The lack of multi-touch on the GamePad screen means it wouldn't really work as a GH/RB instrument.

And that would also be a horrible idea - maybe fun for loading screens or something. You could also play the Guitar Hero (at least 1 and 2) games with a regular controller.

You could play the Guitar Hero games on Wii with a Classic Controller, because that's effectively what the guitar controller that you plugged the remote into was.

I have a theory that it will be one of the HD collections that came out on PS3/4 & 360/One.
Prince of Persia Trilogy HD, Soul Calibur 2 HD, Mass Effect Trilogy, Beyond Good and Evil HD. Lots of possibilities if we go the HD collection route.

Come to think of it the second and third PoP were M as well so toss that out as well.
Originally third PoP Two Thrones was "M" but i have Wii re-release (called PoP: Rival Swords) and it says "T".

I checked out this topic over on seedy old NeoGAF, and the conjecture over there has a plurality of support for a Sims game, which is lame enough to merit consideration.

Fair enough. Not like Maxis Emeryville's around to do it, might as well send it to Tantalus.

I guess a more interesting question now since we've gone through a lot of possible and impossible ports is when do you folks think this announcement will be made? E3? Sooner? Later?
Title: Re: Tantalus making a Wii U port of a PS4/XONE/PC game.
Post by: marvel_moviefan_2012 on March 15, 2015, 09:36:53 PM
I think all major announcements concerning Wii U are going to be reserved for E3. Unless it is just an HD remake then I can see that getting quietly announced in the middle of some Direct like an after thought.

Since I still believe its Star Wars: BattleFront I expect news in early april when Celebration XVI(?) happens. Thats whats been hinted.

If Nintendo wants to make E3 as exciting as it was last year, they'll hold off on an announcement until then.

Might not be up to Nintendo since its a port or a 3rd party game. Remember COD: Ghost? No conformation from Nintendo when directly asked the press was told to "Go ask Activison" It wasn't till months later (after e3) that the title was confirmed. OR, Nintendo's Digital Event has one more bullet in the chamber. If its an "enhanced " port than maybe I can see that happening.

If Nintendo has any say in it they will hold it off till E3. This has to be their big year because I get the feeling Sony is prepared to step it up now that they are gaining traction in Japan. They could take Xbox out of the equation with a few key partnerships and Sony has the money, good will, and muscle to do that. Microsoft has the money but that ain't enough anymore.

But we know how much Nintendo hates surprises. They reveal it to us a week before E3 to spoil our fun along with their announcements for Star Fox, Metroid, and a new Wario Land title. (Capt Falcon will make a cameo in new Metroid just to rub some more salt in the festering wounds of fans.)
