@Beta The PC version can be anything, 800*600 at 20 frames per second to 2500*1600 at 120 frames per second, PCs aren't limited like consoles, you can tweak all kinds of settings, and the better your hardware, the better it'll perform.
I don't really rely on reviews, I prefer to read around and see what people say about the game. And reviews are too much opinion, I'd rather have facts than someone's opinion.
@Gamer83 Well said @kkslider5552000 Stll doesn't mean they aren't over-saturating the market. Same thing happened to Guitar Hero. Same thing will happen to COD (once people wise up that is...)
I usually stay away from arcade racers other than kart racers, but this kind of has me interested, mainly because Criterion is showing real interest in the Wii U.
@SteveRod1992 That's what I'm thinking. On pokemon's facebook page they asked what type fans thought it was. And if that picture of the "???" type thing is official, I'd bet there is a new type.
@Jellitoe In what way is it considered HD? Seems no one knows what HD means, it's referring to the number of horizontal lines in a picture. Not nice-looking shaders. Not high-poly models. Just resolution. Nothing more, nothing less.
@Jellitoe You're right. Nintendo also should've made the 3DS more powerful. Maybe add a higher resolution screen. Because it's absolutely being creamed by the Vita. The weak 3DS has no chance in today's market.
@Jellitoe You do realize Nintendo has always done this, right? You think the NES and Game Boy were the most powerful consoles of their time? Or the SNES? Leave the business decisions to the people actually good at making business decisions.
Also, keep in mind that x86 PC platforms do not, under any circumstances, represent what consoles are like. The Wii U is not a PC with a 3 core running at 1.2GHZ with an HD 4670 and some RAM thrown in. It's not that simple
GTA has went downhill since 4 anyway, aside from Chinatown Wars. 4 took itself too seriously in my opinion, and the "New York" type city in sandbox games is overdone and boring. San Andreas had awesome, varied landscapes, which I believe was part of what made it so great.
When speaking about the CPU, it says "cash" instead of "cache". I understand it's a quote so that's how it probably was in the original source, I'm just sayin'.

Hopefully Supa Street Faita 2 with online play.
Re: Watch_Dogs Stalking Onto U.S. Wii U Consoles on 19th November, Europe on 21st November
@kkslider5552000 That's past, Ubi's loosened their tyrannical DRM-grip as of late.
Re: Watch_Dogs Stalking Onto U.S. Wii U Consoles on 19th November, Europe on 21st November
Don't know whether to get this on PC or Wii U. Comfortable playing or eye candy...
Re: Rejoice, Mario Kart Wii U Is Coming This Year
Awesome news, but what about the "Super Mario Bros" part? Does that mean Super Luigi U?
Re: Event: Nintendo UK 3DS Showcase
I watched a youtube video of the Zelda demo, I really liked the way the dungeon and the merge mechanic made me think. Reminds me of classic Zelda
Re: Satoru Iwata Taking Over CEO Role of Nintendo of America
So does this basically mean he's head of NOA and NOJ?
Re: Interview: Marc Franklin - Nintendo of America
I dislike how company's higher-ups always dodge questions and give general answers they obviously rehearsed for.
Re: Little Inferno Hits High Temperatures With Impressive Sales
Two copies from me, one for me and one for a friend.
Re: Video: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Debut Trailer Blasts Into View
The in-game footage in the trailer could seriously use some AA
Re: Fez Creator Believes Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is More Suited To Vita
So some pretentious hipster hates a 3DS game, why is it news?
Re: Developer Interview: Scientifically Proven Is Bringing "Brutal, White Knuckle" Platforming To Wii U
Call of Duty 2 was actually awesome. Well, it was to me back in the day anyway.

Re: Fire Emblem: Awakening's US Sales Are The Best In The History Of The Series
Good news, glad they aren't like EA though, they pretty much cancel anything that sells under a million.
Re: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dream Heading to Wii U eShop
Machinae Supremacy did part of the soundtrack for this game, it's amazing.
Re: Talking Point: Review Scores and Unwinnable Arguments
I don't really rely on reviews, I prefer to read around and see what people say about the game. And reviews are too much opinion, I'd rather have facts than someone's opinion.
Re: Pachter: Wii U Will Sell Between 30 to 50 Million Units During Its Lifetime
Queue about a hundred angry comments.
Re: Rumour: EA Looking into Taking on More Sports Franchises
@RoryLee They said sports, not acting.
Re: Nintendo Outsourcing Development Of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
Yay, I love Monster Games.
Re: "Modified" Version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution Classified by Australian Ratings Board
Cool, I'd buy that. I own it on PC but never really got around to playing it much.
Re: Hardware: Does The JXD GamePad 2 Remind You Of Anything?
Why give these emulation devices free publicity?

It's looking really nice

Haven't played a good Lego game since Lego Racers on N64. Hope this is good.
Re: Cliff Bleszinski Sees A Future Where Nintendo Is Out Of The Hardware Business
I've always thought he was a pretentious douchebag
Re: Future Wii U Need For Speed Titles Will Ship On The Same Day As Other Platforms
I usually stay away from arcade racers other than kart racers, but this kind of has me interested, mainly because Criterion is showing real interest in the Wii U.
Re: Rayman Legends Challenge Mode Coming Exclusively To Wii U This April
This just in! They're delaying the challenge mode demo in order to port it to other consoles.
Re: New Pokémon Gets Caught In Some Footage
Yeah, they're putting too much emphasis on its typing, there has to be a new type. Light maybe?
Re: New Pokémon Gets Caught In Some Footage
@SteveRod1992 That's what I'm thinking. On pokemon's facebook page they asked what type fans thought it was. And if that picture of the "???" type thing is official, I'd bet there is a new type.
Re: New Pokémon Gets Caught In Some Footage
Is that bottom picture official?
Re: Need for Speed: Most Wanted Developer Revs Up More Details on Co-Driver Mode
"...it punches above its weight." Cool metaphor.

2 hours, right?
Re: 3DS Remake Of Dragon Quest VII Sells 800,000 Copies In Just Four Days
Damn. That's a lot. But when you report sales figures why not post sales of other games for reference?
Re: Monolith Soft Enjoying Its Closer Relationship With Nintendo
Cool. It's good to ask the little guys (the programmers) what they think as well. It raises morale
Re: GPU Images Reveal Wii U Graphical Power
@TrueWiiMaster And those were arguably Ninty's worst consoles, sales-wise

Here's a good article explaining the RAM situation, very in-depth and well written, and explains everything in layman's terms.
Re: Sniper Elite V2 Confirmed For Active Duty On Wii U
Cool. I saw a friend playing this on 360. Hope they clean up the muddy visuals for the Wii U release.
Re: Nintendo Hints At An Additional Platform In The Future
I love hearing about this. I can't wait to see what's next.
Re: Fire Emblem: Awakening Cut Down By Shipping Delay
You guys have a hi-res version of that picture? Like 720p or higher?
Re: Rockstar Has "Nothing New" To Report On Grand Theft Auto V Wii U
GTA has went downhill since 4 anyway, aside from Chinatown Wars. 4 took itself too seriously in my opinion, and the "New York" type city in sandbox games is overdone and boring. San Andreas had awesome, varied landscapes, which I believe was part of what made it so great.

Re: Iwata Implies That He Could Step Down Over Sluggish Sales Performance
Don't worry, Nintendo will sell about 7 billion 3DS units when Pokemon comes out
