in your irrational fanboy faces! This has been quite obvious since day one really - some people just haven't been able to, or wanting to, realize facts. No surprise really.

it has nothing to do with being a fanboy, fact is, its very rare for anything to say exclusive, microsoft paid 50 million dollars for GTA4 episodic content and that didn't even stay exclusive, i still would bet my money on them being released on 360/ps3 with different names in a year or so after release.
|
Besides the fact that the games are funded and published by Nintendo, almost certainly under some kind of exclusivity contract, shouldn't that be PS4 and 720? The 360 and PS3 are about to be replaced, and it will be easier to port it to the newer consoles because then they won't have to worry about downgrading it.
|
the wiiu spec wise is close to current gen, i would think they would port it too 360/ps3, it has a huge user base.
|
Porting a game built around 1GB of RAM to systems with less than 512MB isn't a walk in the park. It's much harder than just porting the game to a more powerful system than the original, where no alterations will be needed.
|
i don't know this but the memory bandwidth is 2x faster on 360, thats even better then having 1 gb ram.
|
It really isn't. Especially when that's bandwidth for both read and write on 360. Situations with more than half a gig in assets, of which there are sure to be many, will need to be re-engineered, similar to how COD was crammed down to 91MB of RAM for the Wii.

quote from beyond3d
Note that translucency does reduce the amount of occlusion in the scene, meaning regardless of how the blending itself is handled the overall pressure on shading including texture fetch bandwidth is going to be higher than if those fragments were opaque (and early-Z is doing a good job). A game could, in theory, be texture bandwidth limited on Wii U where it wasn't on XBox 360 or PS3, due to having worse main memory bandwidth (if all the textures are coming from main memory), and in those cases increased pressure would make things worse.

Highlighted the important part; they're speculating. Developers have praised the Wii U's larger memory. The Gamecube had faster memory than the first Xbox too, but that doesn't mean it could run Halo 2. In the end, size matters. It matters a lot. And in the end, 1GB is much bigger than 480MB/462MB.
It makes sense to port to newer systems where no downgrading work would be needed, especially since the PS4 and 720 will likely be hot property at the time of Bayonetta 2's release. But it's very unlikely to happen anyway, since these are Nintendo-funded games we're talking about.
