Why Work Sunday?

This is indeed a daily gaming blog and I have indeed been updating it daily. Although Sunday is a day of rest, lazyness, even God for some. So instead of bringing you news about gaming on the day of doing fek all, I will be relaxing just like the rest of the world. What I am trying to say is, No news on Sundays.


I am now going to lay in my paddling pool, Have a nice Sunday!

Rumour Mill: Sony Planning On Unveiling Playstation 4 Next Year

Rumours, Rumours Rumours. I suppose every console starts with a rumour so sometime we have to take them serious. IndustryGamers is speculating that Sony will unveil the Playstation 4 next year. The Website cites from an anonymous source from a top developer, although obviously no names were spoken of. This is what Michel Patcher had to say about it.


“I think it’s unlikely [that PS4 will be announced in 2012]. Wii U isn’t going to pressure anyone, it’s Nintendo’s catch up to this cycle, and the other guys are going to see if the tablet integration is worth copying first. That means nobody is going to finalize specs till they see if Wii U succeeds. I am sticking to 2014, so an ‘unveil’ in 2013,”

EEDAR’s Jesse Divinch added: “The interactive entertainment industry is rapidly evolving and broadening. No longer is the idea of ‘video games’ limited to a traditional console and a PlayStation-style controller and the inability to play these touch and social games on traditional consoles are hindering factors for all three major players.

“Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all have a similar goal; they want their consoles to be constantly powered on in the household – from watching movies, television, and of course playing games. But as the mobile, tablet, and social sector grow, it is forcing gamers to go outside of the traditional console experience to interact with these emerging style of games. Of course, I do admit that Microsoft is certainly the forerunner and their recent E3 2011 presentation certainly paints a clear picture that the future of consoles are not ‘video game consoles,’ but a complete entertainment medium.

“I don’t feel the Wii U is a threat to either Microsoft or Sony’s current platforms. I believe the biggest threat remain themselves and their attempt to elongate this current cycle. The data is pretty clear; it is incredibly tough to launch successful new IPs late in a cycle, as there is simply too much consumer muscle memory that hinders our desire to play new IPs. Consumers are more open to trying new IPs and new style of games when the technology itself is relatively new. It is very tough for consumers to break habit.

“Just ask yourself, would Avatar have been as successful if it wasn’t in 3D (which at the time was a new way of experiencing movies)? Would Avatar have been successful if it launched 2 years from now? Probably not, on both counts.”

Wii U: Are Nintendo Making A Huge Mistake?

So when we saw the presentation at the Nintendo Press Conference, the stuff they were showing looked mental! Swiping videos from controller to tv, Transferring your game to the controller mid play, Hiding your tactics on the controller from your opponent on a football game... but wait a minute. Didn't Miyamoto say it is one controller per system? So who exactly are we hiding our tactics from then? The console at E3 looked to have so much potential, I mean the possibilities were endless. Although now Nintendo face a problem. If what Miyamoto is saying is true, then all that potential goes out of the window. All this thing is, is a jazzed up Wii with an extra screen. A much bigger personal DS. So there is one Wii U controller but your can attach up to 4 Wii controllers. Can you imagine this at Christmas? Trying out your brand new system but your stuck with the old crappy controllers. I can't help but think that Nintendo are making a huge mistake if they are going to go forward with the one controller per system strategy as they are alienating there family orientated market. Yes I know these things are going to be pricey, But the Wii has kind of run its course now, Hence why this announcement made so much sense. This could turn out to be more of the same though. On the plus, The console is still a year away from release so fingers crossed.

Wii U Visuals Superior to Xbox, PS3

Wii U will not only match but beat out PS3 and Xbox 360 in visual terms "for some of the games", according to Ubisoft boss man Yves Guillemot.

When quizzed - as every developer at E3 will have been - on how Wii U compares to the other HD consoles, Guillemot replied: "I think at least [as powerful]. It should be even superior for some of the games. We don't know everything, so we have a few things Nintendo is telling us that will have such and such powers."

He goes on to confirm that the firm has had the Wii U dev kits for "quite some time", and that "from the beginning when we saw that console we were impressed by the level of quality of the experience you could get."

Guillemot is unsurprisingly optimistic of the opportunity for another capable platform in which Ubi can release its high-profile titles at little extra cost. "[Wii U] doesn't increase [development costs] very much because the advantage is in being close to the other machines, you can do the game for all the formats at the same time."

In contrast to Guillemot's statement, Ubisoft Quebec's senior technical architect Marc Parenteau told press its too early for comparisons between Wii U and the current HD platforms because developers have yet to learn their way around the new Nintendo hardware.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword demoed on Jimmy Fallon

I still can't decide who I love more. Reggie or Jack Tretton. All I can say is that, If Reggie keeps announcing games and software like he did at E3 for Nintendo then he may well move to the front of the queue of my gaming man crush. Another gameplay showing, another Jimmy Fallon exclusive. This time its The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Bit of an anti-climax after the Wii U was announced but a Zelda game will have fans across the world going crazy.

The Best and Worst of E3 2011

E3 definitely had its downs this year. Mr Caffeine single handily making a nation of gamers want to rip his voice box from his throat at the Ubisoft Conference, Countless number of ridiculous, pointless Kinect support from Microsoft and the now infamous AT&T announcement. There were also some fantastic pieces of software on show to give us fans hope. Battlefield 3, Bioshock Infinate, Elder Scolls: Skyrim impressed immensely, Just to name a few. Then there was Nintendo, Who for me, Truly saved what was the hugely important Press Conferences. Not only did they announce the Wii U, they also treated us to some top quality games for the 3DS including Mario Kart 3D, Luigi's Mansion 2 and possibly Super Smash Bros in the future. Also a treat to see Miyamoto grinning from ear to ear at the sound of the Zelda Orchestra. Yes there were definitely ups and downs, So here are the best and worst of E3 2011.

Everything You Need To Know About The Wii U

A very detailed, in depth article into what exactly the Wii U is. I don't know about others but I was a little bit confused with the presentation, So this article should explain a few things, if not everything.

"At its E3 2011 press conference, Nintendo confirmed some details about the successor to the Wii and even gave its new platform an official name: Wii U. While the name might not suggest much of a difference from Nintendo previous system, the Wii U has some significant upgrades and changes, the most important of which is undoubtedly its new controller. While the Wii U supports all of the Wii's controllers, the controller designed for this new platform is not unlike a tablet. It has a large touch-sensitive 6.2-inch screen in the middle surrounded by a plastic enclosure that features traditional console-style control characteristics, including a D pad, two sets of shoulder buttons, four face buttons, and more. The Wii U is also capable of streaming a video signal to the controller's screen, making it possible to play a Wii U game when the household TV is in use by others.

These are just some of the features of Nintendo's next system. We've compiled everything we know about it into one spot, so you can get caught up on all the latest information revealed at E3 2011.Features

Previews

Chase Mii Preview Hands-On
As of right now, Chase Mii Is just a tech demo. It hasn't been announced as a full-fledged game yet, so don't get your hopes too high for some indoor tag action. But what's here is quite fun and a good showcase for how the Wii U can extend the reach of local competitive games.

New Super Mario Bros. Mii Hands-On Preview
Aside from being in HD, the visuals looked essentially indistinguishable from those of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and the levels we got to dash through were challenging, with quickly moving platforms and tricky jumps galore. We had fun with the demo, but we didn't feel that it was a particularly strong showcase for the Wii U's technology, at least at this stage.

The Legend of Zelda Wii U Hands-On Preview
Aside from the streaming technology taking place, what makes this remarkable is the fact that the screen on the tablet is pretty high quality--obviously, it's not on par with the HD resolution being displayed on the TV in front of us, but it was impressive nonetheless and we could easily see ourselves using this feature in the manner Nintendo demonstrated during the conference (switching to the tablet when someone else needs the TV).

Battle Mii Wii U Preview
By moving the tablet down and holding it in a natural position (as you would any normal controller), the camera perspective takes a top-down view, letting the player flying the ship get a more tactical view. Moving the position of the controller in between these points presents any number of different perspectives, and players can ultimately settle on what's most comfortable for them for any situation.

Shield Pose Wii U Hands-On Preview
It's not a great visual demonstration of the Wii U's graphical capabilities, but what makes Shield Pose an interesting demonstration of the Wii U technology is just how the tablet functions as a second screen, not unlike the second screen on Nintendo's DS handheld platforms--only it's completely dynamic, functioning much like a magnifying glass"

More previews coming soon.
