Wii u at CES

[purechaos996]

Although I havev't used the new controller, I still kinda with they didn't go down the motion control road again, I kinda just want a normal gamepad so I can sit and enjoy my games. I honestly thought the motion controls detracted value from skyward sword for me since I had some minor issues with it and I didn't get the full effect of the story because of it.

Just my opinon though, who knows maybe when I actually get to use it i'll think differently.

I don`t know how people can still talk about specs and the controller of the WiiU in a negative way...

First of all the controller, as I said in many threads, is essentially a stretched out 360-controller (same amount of buttons) with a touchscreen in-between and hidden magic inside. So control-wise there will be something for everyone and several options, since the Wiimote+Nunchuck-combo is still working as well... You can be sure that the next CoD game will have "normal" controls and Wiimote-controls as an example!

Also the Wii was underpowered because aside of the visuals (beauty of games and HD), which doesn`t directly effect the gameplay mostly, it couldn`t process as much as the other consoles could (for example less Zombies in Dead Rising) or the draw distances weren`t very far away, which would have hurt the gameplay, so we can be sure that those issues will be gone, since we know it is more powerful then the PS360.

So I don`t know why people are still complaining, especially since we haven`t seen the WiiU playing anything aside of "experiences". I personally wait for Colonial Marines to judge the systems power, because I think NinjaGaiden3 and Darksiders2 will look like the PS360 version!

I for one would welcome it when games could run in 1080p, since most of the games on PS3 aren`t!!! It kinda would be nice to play Battlefield 3 on console in 1080p with Wiimote and Nunchuck Also were can visuals go from here. I think B3 on PC is the benchmark for now...

Also even though the framerate was choppy that city looked amazing, though experiences that limit you view to a special"road" often look better then something you can freely roam!

Does anyone know if Nintendo will be demonstrating the Wii U as a sneak peek for Club Nintendo members before it's released?

I remember getting an email from Nintendo asking me whether I would like to attend a preview of the 3DS before it's release..I'm really hoping they'll do it for the Wii U as well, as I really enjoyed the event and I'd like to try it myself.
The event was actually a big reason why I pre-ordered it.

Doesn't the 360 controller have analog triggers ? The Wii U is only going to be a BIT more powerful than 360. MS/Sony will obviously introduce hugely powerful followup consoles

something i been thinking the PS3 is very powerful does Sony really need a new console ? so early

TBH aside of racing games which games utilize analoge-trigger in a meaningful way?

For me that`s nitpicking. The only thing I did with triggers so far is always push them all the way down (I still hear the clicking sound of the cube-controller in my dreams). I for one welcome their absence...

I guess next you will point out that the WiiU-controller has slide-pads instead of analogue-sticks...

At least we got the result, that the WiiU-controller is at very least as good as an regular PS360 controller (maybe minus the analog-trigger for some - also everything is better then a PS3 controller - no offence, I do own a PS3 )

I think people shouldn`t judge it when they haven`t even touched it. I heard it feels good and is very light!

The question is does it show it`s power? As I said nearly every game runs at 720p and nearly every 3rd party game looks identical to the 360s counterpart, aside of a few 1st party games (GoW, Uncharted 1-3, ...).

We still have to see how powerful the WiiU really is, since the footage we`ve seen of games mostly wasn`t captured from a WiiU!

Where are you getting a little bit more powerful all the rumored specs and developers have said its atleast 50% more powerful than the 360.

And that was before the confirmation of the WiiU not being finalized.

And on top of that they said at CES that the physical appearance of the hardware was still being worked on. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2012/01/wii-u-ces/#more-41474.

BTW: You know you can use Classic Controllers on the Wii U right? And that the Classic Controllers have analog L and R Triggers? Riiight?!!
Look it up!

Wii U controller-
The guy in the video is not only holding it barely in two hands, he is holding it with one.
I didn't think you do that naturally when it comes to heavy objects.The size and shape looks like you would
get better grip anyway. Analog triggers are barely used and even then with all the buttons on the umote with the screen, it really shouldn't be a problem.
The way is built, slide pads might be better sticks. Really you only need this and the wiimote controller since the Wii u
can at as a classic controller.


Wii U- It is a next gen console period. Take a early (most likely rush) built of the Tokyo Street Demo, that I believe is per-rendered,
and imagine when devs start making original games for the wii u.

I really doubt a jump from ps2 to ps3 will happen to ps4, if it even possible or worth it.

I can tell that the Tokyo Street Demo is not rendered by the Wii U, it's most likely video footage taken by several camera's and played on the Wii U.

How did you come to that conclusion? How do you see that? I was kinda in the same mind set 'till I seen he was moving the umote in real time.
The video look kinda weird for real life.

several camera's upfront, sides, back, etc...

It's being reported as anywhere from "a bit" to 50% more powerful than the PS3. The PS3 is already a metric fuckton more powerful than the 360.

Nintendo's counting on putting out slightly underpowered hardware, but doing it way before anyone else. They'll be king of the heap for a year or two unless Sony and MS make bad business decisions and rush theirs out just to compete

Oh hey it still has that shitty controller *stops watching*

I love the controller... I'm surprised they haven't changed the console design yet...

It looks like an ugly Wii, without the awesome blue light. Not that the look of the console affects my decision, but I think it looks really bad to be honest.

It wouldn't be surprising if they just gave these demoers E3 units. They're still room for change.

Of course, there's nothing really wrong with it as is. Just looks a little plain.

Stop complaining and enjoy this little information is better than nothing. Sighing!

 

[heartgold]

Damn that lighting in Zelda is just amazing. Better than any current gen game released up to date.

Gotta admire that lighting, dam that....lighting.

 

[PolloDiablo]

the Wii U looks great, love the controller... a DS emulator on that thing would kick so much ass!!
my only complain so far... no 1080p mode for Wii games. They got really lazy on that one

Every related thread i see you always post the same thing.

Look, if you rather post your little 'information' is better than nothing, you rather don't post.
