  1. Well this is disappointing, Fils-Aime has now mentioned apparently the 3rd party reel was composed of 360, PS3, or PC versions of the games, and were not running on Wii U hardware.

    So we haven't really seen any games on the Wii U, just those tech demos :/ well... IF those are running on actual Wii U hardware.

    I've read that the Wii U is more powerful than the PS3 and 360. Those games they announced are coming out for those systems but Nintendo is telling people they have those games because there is nothing else ready to be shown yet. They take a few third party games and have them ported to Wii U because it can handle them but is BY NO MEANS at the limit of it's technical specs running them and there you go. The ports aren't done so they used 360/PS3 footage because the port will be a comparable product.

  2. On the topic of the state of the gaming union, which is related to the Wii U, I was looking around the PS Home E3 booth replica space and checking out the virtual NGPs they had there and it highlighted one of the features as being "Designed for FPSes". What the eff?

  3. They should have been able to make 2 games in that time. But oh wait, there's also FF13 Kingdom Hearts Mode, and FF13 Handheld Mode as well as FF13-2. So essentially Square took like 4 dumps instead of making two truly good games. :tomatoface:

    I laffed.

    You're right, they said it would take them a long time to make it, but they've been wasting their time making something people don't want. They should just cancel FFXIII-2 and just give people what they want if they're going to take so long making it.

    Then again, I'd only want a remake of such a beloved game if the original team members were all assembled for it, which I don't think that's ever going to happen.

    Whateva.

  4. It's annoying to me that they showed off the Wii U controller playing a Wii game. Yes, it shows that the system is backward compatible, but I think it was damaging to the initial impression people got of the system. People will look at that video and think that the system is only as powerful as the Wii, when it has been stated to be at least as powerful as the PS3.

    They really didn't showcase the system's technical prowess other than through that weird Bird/Cherry Blossom/Fish tech demo. Who knows when we'll see a game built from the ground up on the system.

  5. I posed a picture of the Wii U console (might be a prototype) on the Wii U console thread (since we can't talk about the hardware and system in the same thread; props admins).

    As for playable characters in Smash Bros Me, I'd assume we're getting a Mii, given how they put one in Super Mario Bros. And maybe Sakurai will branch out and put an Animal Crossing character in?

  6. No. If that happens, you can still get your games this way:

    If at any point you can’t find the ‘Welcome Back Free Game 1 or 2’ products, the list of available titles or a game you’ve selected, go to your XMB>PlayStation Network>Account Management>Transaction Management>Services List>SCEA Promotions to complete the process.

    You may have to push your way past some naggy errors but this worked for me.

  7. Considering there was no joint Konami/Silicon Knights/Nintendo remake of Silent Hill, I would say it's unlikely that MGS1 isn't included because Nintendo has the rights to Twin Snakes, thought they may indeed own portions of what Twin Snakes contains. Being PSX games is the big thing those two games have in common.

    In any event, as great as it is that they're rereleasing these old games as HD ports, I would've loved to have seen 'GCN Resident Evil calibur' remakes of MGS (with MGS4 or greater graphics) and Silent Hill (SH5 graphics) but yeah, it's far easier to just port stuff with better textures. Then again, we kind of DID get MGS1 in MGS4 graphics already.

  8. In any event, the Welcome Back package has dropped on the PS Store.

    If you keep getting error messages, it's probably because the service is being inundated by the droves of people shoving into the doors all at once.

    I was able to get all four of my free games + the theme and movie rentals. For the games, if you get errors after selecting "Get Now," they'll be available in your Account Management -> Transaction Managmenet -> Service List (the top entry on that list). Happy gaming!

  9. Yeah, exactly. I see these attacks as childish outbursts that have long since lost their direction (and the direction they had was bad to begin with).Give a brat a gun and he shoots anyone that doesn't let him have his way.

    The attacks started as a retaliation on 'Sony' for "violating the rights of its customers" by seizing property. Now all the attackers want to do is destroy "Sony," and they see nothing wrong with violating even more rights/laws; including ours, the innocent bystander.

    At the end of the day, Sony's legal battles with the people involved in the exploits had infinitely less impact on me than what the terrorist hackers are doing; so why should they gain my support? Maybe I shouldn't be surprised but I can't believe some people root on the attacks of these criminals. The most annoying thing out of all this is seeing the people who (irrationally) never liked Sony come out of the woodwork and fling accusations about GOD-AWFUL SECURITY and QUESTIONABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES as if they have access to detailed reports and inside information.
