Activision: We're doing 'everything we can' to support the Wii U

[stanleyopar2000]

If only Wipeout was Wipeout

or "WipEout"

There are better ways to support a console than just releasing another Call of Duty game and Skylanders

Well considering both franchises are always popular and will always do well, there's not a whole lot more you can do.

Maybe release Destiny but I think that's too much of a leap for a big IP.

It'd be nice if that maybe would become brave enough to leap ahead. Then other maybe's would become the same brave things and take their first leap.

And haven't I seen this comment before that was made to someone else? I swear a similar comment was made on another thread. Not directed at me, but it was there.

Something original ? Because, besides Skylanders, and arguably Spongebob, we've all played the games listed there (except Wipeout but nobody cares about that).

Again, this is just about everything they have. When developers and publishers are ignoring the console wholesale, you have the gall to whine about one of the few sticking by it. "Yeah, they're giving us games, but why aren't they giving us mooooore?"

Christ, the entitlement on display here is downright embarrassing.

Aside from that, I only know of the other Mighty series games, which are also download only.

You should try the Shantae games (One's on 3DS VC & the other is DSiWare) and the Adventure Time game (If you're a fan of AT)

That said, I think they're great from what little I've seen, and they definitely have some potential. I just don't think that potential includes a Wii U system seller in the near future.

I think they could make something good enough, but since they mostly make 2D platformers and bad licensed games (Not including AT, that was good IMO) They would have to go way out of their familiar territory to do it

Your all right, I'm totally getting all 5 of these games from Activision, simply because they have the balls to support the Wii U. I hope the purchase of these games, despite my knowledge that I will not invest not more then 5min of my time into 3 of them, will show future developers for the wii u that they can make w/e they want and know that people will buy it up. I can't believe I have been so foolish to assume that quality games can come to this console outside Nintendo.

No, no, no - you're the one wrong here Gahars.

If you play Call of Duty, a game which is consistently record-breaking, with each new release instantly becoming one of the most commonly-played Multiplayer games of all time, you are a neckbeard brodude with Cheeto dust on your shirt and you are not worthy of owning a WiiU. You're only a real, mature gamer with elaborate gaming taste if you play games about plumbers eating mushrooms and saving princesses.

Additionally, releasing a new installment in a shooter series once every two or so years is called rehashing wheras releasing a new installment of monster-collecting games once every two or so years is called "meeting the demand of fans".

>>"Wii U needs games! Give us games!"
>>Activision delivers!
>>"Ewww...no...get that shit off my precious Wii U..."

This is just as bad as the Vita fans complaining over indie games...

Your the person who would have all 1222 games on the wii then.

"Your" and "You're" make the difference between "You know your shit" and "You know you're shit".

As for the comparison, it's inappropriate. You can't quite compare budget shovelware titles like "Imagine: Babyz" and multimillion triple-A titles like "Call of Duty" with a straight face.

inapropriate --> inappropriate (in-ap-pro-pri-ate)


Thats piss poor considering only 20% of the games revealed are AAA

EDIT: awh man 6 games? i brainfarted then 1/6 are Triple AAA, and 1 other game is considered half way decent, for children.

Good one. Touche, fixed the typo.

Either way, the first two are Activision's flagship titles. Now WiiU owners should do their part, buy them and stimulate the market in such a way that developers will feel like supporting the platform. When Ubisoft goes out and says that "ZombiU was nowhere near profitable for them", who do you think will develop exclusive content for the system just to willingly take losses?

That's fair enough, but a lot of people didn't like ZombieU either. Some considered it to hard, others thought it was great. You shouldn't buy games simply to support a system, and not because you actually want to play it. Thats what is getting confused on this thread. People are arguing "just buy it show developers we care!" rather then wanting quality, it sounds like everyone just wants crap, as long as it leads to the possibility of quality.

What was this thread about again?

But CoD is a "quality" game...

OMFG, its like people just read 1 post, and not the whole argument!

I admit this 2 posts up TWO &*%# POSTS UP!

Well, I can see you guys are having so much fun, so I'll be going back to playing the Wii U.

I'm not saying to buy games solely to support the system, I'm saying "start buying games that aren't necessarily made by Nintendo because otherwise this system will die" - the WiiU won't fly on first-party alone and a lot of Nintenyearolds don't seem to understand that. The common consensus seems to be that "when Zelda/Mario/Pokemon come out, the WiiU will soar" and that's a load of bollocks because none of those titles made the Gamecube soar and that console gave us "Metroid Prime", one of the best Nintendo series ever.

My point is that just because it's Activision doesn't mean that their games are going to be crap - they're willing to take the risk and support a system that doesn't seem to get a lot of support and that's a good thing. WiiU owners should appreciate that and I'm seeing the opposite - a lot of booing going on because "lawl it's just CoD again" while at the same time the same people gobble up Pokemon and NSMBU on a yearly basis like it's some kind of Ambrosia.

Well, I can see you guys are having so much fun, so I'll be going back to playing the Wii U.

Impossible because...

Yeeey! Finally! Third party support!


...why the hell are there so many people bitching about it?

 

[RchUncleSkeleton]

Honestly I've never even heard of Wayforward before Mighty Switch Force, which was an amazing game along with its sequel, but that's still only two, and in the same series of downloadable titles. Aside from that, I only know of the other Mighty series games, which are also download only.

That said, I think they're great from what little I've seen, and they definitely have some potential. I just don't think that potential includes a Wii U system seller in the near future.

So you haven't heard about Shantae, Ducktales Remastered, Batman the Brave and the Bold (Wii/DS), Contra 4 (DS), A Boy and his Blod (Wii), Adventure Time: Hey Ice King Why'd You Steal Our Garbage (DS/3DS) or either of the upcoming Adventure Time and Regular Show games coming out?

WayForward is only a developer and not a great one at that. They make a few decent games but for like every good game they probably more 5 crappy cash-ins. Why people would even consider their games "selling points" is really beyond me. They make good games at best but certainly not great games.

I'd love to see a list of those "crappy cash-ins" you've taken upon yourself to play and therefore deem them "Crappy Cash-ins"! Not only that but I like to think the people who developed the game have a much more to do with the quality than the publisher...
