Rumor: Dead Space, Overstrike, and TimeSplitters 4 coming to Wii U

[KingVamp]

According to a concept artist for a developer studio associated with Electronic Arts, there are plans that Visceral Games, the company behind the Dead Space games, to make a new installment of Dead Space, and that will be coming to Wii U and other consoles. No Dead Space game will be shown at this year’s E3. Another game from Electronic Arts that I was told will receive the Wii U treatment is Overstrike, which is developed by Insomniac games. Insomniac has received Wii U development kits. Insomniac are known for franchises such as Resistance and Ratchet & Clank for Sony’s consoles.

And the last interesting tidbit of news that I am hearing involves Crytek, who is a partner with Electronic Arts. Crytek might be giving Electronic Arts the publishing duties for TimeSplitters 4 for the Wii U. Coincidentally, before Free Radical became part of Crytek, Electronic Arts published Timesplitters: Future Perfect. TimeSplitters 4 will be announced at E3 this year for the Wii U and other consoles. I’m hearing that there is over 150-200 Wii U games currently in development. Nintendo is planning to announce numerous partnerships and collaborations regarding the Wii U at this E3

My friend told me that when Electronic Arts received the first and second versions of Wii U development kits, Nintendo wasn’t sure how powerful the console was going to be. All they cared about at that point was making a console that was easy to port 360/PS3 games. They had to keep the dev kits at 360/PS3 level in the beginning because it’s easy to start low on specs and go up in power, but it’s impossible to create a super powerful development kit and then downgrade it in power. I hear that the 5th and 6th versions of this development kit are pretty powerful, and Frostbite 2 has been seen running on the Wii U with very smooth results and a higher frame rate than the 360 version of Battlefield 3, that are superior to any PS3/360 game running Frostbite 2.

Again, take all of this as a grain of salt/rumor until its confirmed, but I felt the need to share some of this since people seem to want Wii U news.

So we get to look forward to some Wii U/360/PS3 multiplats?

 

[cosmiccow]

Sounds good to me. Ports are fine with me as long as it's easy money for them so they have something to spend on developing innovative games as well.

Besides, I haven't played 99% of the PS3/360 library yet.

That's why buying a PS3/360 is usually a better solution.

Seriously, it's hilarious when people are like "I'm buying a Wii U for Arkham City!" Congrats, it's been out since November.

If you haven't got a PC that can play modern games, Xbox 360, or PS3 but are getting a Wii U then maybe you should reconsider your quality as a gamer.

You'd be plainly ignorant to say that the Xbox 360 or PS3 "aren't worth getting" but the Wii U is already.

 

[yuyuyup]

I will buy a Wii U for $125 brand new, not a penny over. Why do I want to buy a system to compete with a system that has been out for ten years ?

i haven't say that the ps3/360 and not worth it

all i am saying if a person wants to get new next gen console and and play a game that is already out on it i see nothing wrong with that.



it could be they are saving their money for it not everyone is rich like you mccomunist

If they didn't have a lot of money why would they spend most likely more on a Wii U and not less on a Xbox 360 or PS3?

Also if I was rich I'd have a Vita by now.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Just PM me when the "Which Console is better" flame war starts. I'm going shopping for a PS3.

also

I did but that doesn't mean I can afford it. I have like $100 in my bank account right now, $60 of it is going towards Mass Effect 3, the rest is for Netflix subscription pretty much. I'll be lucky if I have $300 in my bank account by year's end.

Ah, Guild at hard work again
So what about people who want Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Starfox, Pokemon, Fire Emblem and so on plus third party games?

I really stopped caring about Nintendo first parties when I started playing other games and realized that they were actually better.

To be fair the present situation seems to indicate the initial third party support of the Wii U are going to be multiplats with the 360/PS3. Even than Nintendo's third party support has been pretty poor since the PSOne. And to be honest Nintendo exclusives aren't system sellers to me so I can't see myself spending £200+ on a Wii U. I picked up a Wii last year and I like it but i hasn't blown my mind.

/sarcasm

I've never played either and I actually didn't like Metroid Prime. The 2D games are definitely better in my eyes.

Also can people really stop trying to reference PS3 exclusives to me like I actually know about them at all.

 

[Intimidator88]

I just dont understand why your at a site mainly for nintendo based stuff if you dont care for nintendo rather funny but to each his own i guess. Id really like to know why you think the vita is a steal at its current price if you include the $50 game and $$$ memory card you gotta buy as well but thats off topic maybe later eh?

Back to the topic though. Does this mean that the wii u is gonna have alot of ports at launch? Or later in its life?
