[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 6638676, member: 203855"] Yes, we'll have to agree to disagree, because you're the naive one, not me. Re-releases or not, those were quality titles that were both well-worth buying and still relatively popular. Crisis 3 ran on the PS3, I don't know why you're using it as some gold standard of engineering - it's not. It was when it was new, maybe, but most definitely not now. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be able to run games as well as the PS4 and the XBO, I'm saying that it wouldn't run them, period, not unless sub-HD @ sub-30 FPS is considered acceptable now. Let me repeat what I actually stated instead of what you inferred - the PS4 and the XBO are sweating bullets running modern games at the bare minimum settings, so much so that both companies are releasing mid-stream upgrades for their systems, and they're several times more powerful than the Wii U. Thinking the Wii U would have any chance at competing is just silly, it'd need severely bogged down, castrated versions of the games, if it'd support them at all, just like the Wii did. When the PS3/360 got Far Cry 1-4, the Wii got Far Cry: Vengeance - you go ahead and play that, then tell me if specs gaps like this are healthy for game development. By the way, it's not just EA who refused to support developers - according to Alex Ward, a former boss of Criterion, Nintendo didn't "give a sh*t" about NFS:MW either, despite him coming in to their HQ to demo the game personally, which is why he's not interested in Wii U development or cooperating with Nintendo.
