Better option would be to pay them to get UE4 working on WiiU. Then offer it as a free upgrade to multi-port 3rd parties.

They might not be willing to put their devs on it... or even if they did they might put their shoddy devs on it.

 

A better way would be the Gabe Newell way.

 

Offer to port it yourself... ala Doom95.

To prove that windows is a viable gaming platform.

Yes, whatever you say. Great high profile games you listed there. You are completely right.

What i imagine to be playing is ninja blade, crackdown, dust and mark of the ninja. Who cares about X, Fire emblem x shin megami tensei, God of war, the last of us. uncharted, GT, etc. You are completely right. How couldnt we see?

 

My point never changed. Microsoft doesnt care about gamers and games, they only care about ruling the living room space and extorting as much money as they can. And that is why they dont buy Nintendo or why they didnt buy SEGA. You sir, have no case.

 

Let's see if I understand this.


You can list God of War, Uncharted and GT, but I have to rule out Gears of War, Halo, Forza and Fable out of my list? Where's the fairness there? So those are good games to you? Of all the games you could mention from the Ps3? That's freakin' funny.  There's Rain, Puppeteer, Beyond (At least you mentioned The Last of Us, thank God) this year, you know. I care about those games, you know.

But you're missing the point, again. We were not comparing companies, nor comparing game quality. There's enough Uncharted vs Gears of war and Forza vs Gran Turismo in this generation already. But here, you said the following thing:

They should totally go for it then.

 

Oh right... they just want to rule the living room, they dont care about giving us good games.

 

I (and yourself) have proven that yes, indeed, they have given us good games (and they keep doing so). So no, that statement does not stand. They want money? Of course. Sony and Nintendo want money too. But that is not the point, you see.

 

I, sir, have a case, I'm afraid. You keep going off the point.


This keeps going in circles. You can list your fables and your halo's and your gears, aswell as those low profile games you mentioned. There is little to nothing of value in that list. Microsoft released what 3 high profile titles last year? It was just as bad in previous years aswell, except the first 2. They are always from the same series aswell.

You, just like i previously said, are playing coy cause you have no case. Here is what Microsoft has: Shooters, a mediocre RPG series and a racing series (wich i havent even played cause it looks so dull). They are rehashed time and again. That is all. Those little arcade games you mention dont even make a splash, nor things like crackdown, wich as admitidly mediocre. Microsoft only wants your money, they dont want to try to develop exciting new IP's and they dont care about trying new things. They will keep shoving you Halo's and gears as often as they can. Maybe for your thats good games, but for many of us, im sure it isnt. We want more than to be shoveled the same game time and again.

Again, i dont see where my statement was wrong. It is absolutely the case.



Or better yet how about they use some of that money that's just "lying around" to get some bloody third party support!!! ffs....



What Nintendo truly need right now are quality first party games and not dealing with some hack, they have too much work to turn WiiU into success.

In case of western 3rd parties Nintendo is not interested in them look at THQ and or Eurocom in recent memory, it was an easy pick for them but they didn't care.

The worst thing is to become some whore as it was in case with SQUARE and GBA license.

The truth is western 3rd party games hardly sell on Nintendo platforms with exception of some occasional games based on successful movies especially Star Wars

and yet all the cash in the word can't bridge the power gap between wiiU and ps4/xbox8 that is causing it to miss on every engine, every game.


The moste idiotic comment I have ever read on this site.

It's Nintendo who's the one that burned that bridge. They are too stubborn for their own good.


Except no one at Nintendo every made fun of Epic or the Unreal Engine in public like Mark did with the Wii U.  It all gets back to arrogance.  In the overall scheme of things, Mark is just a peeon and will be forgotten just like most of us.  He just think's he's more important than he really is.


lol what's with all of this anger?

calling the man a peon and saying he will be forgotten?

with a post like that i'd expect you were speaking of a mortal enemy who has been a bane to your existance



It's threads like this that give nintendo fans a bad name.

You're playing coy. We all know Microsoft only "makes" games for 4 franchises nowadays. Halo, Forza, Fable and gears. Enjoy getting shoveled more of those.


Coy?

And Microsoft also "publishes" games. Think about that before making assumptions of what I play and what I don't play =P


You're still playing Coy. Microsoft published games were released in the first 3 years of the system. Those lost odyssey, blue dragon, Mass effect, etc. ended. Theres no more of those coming. Open your eyes, microsoft does not care about gamers, they care about finding ways to fool you out of your money.


"You're playing coy. We all know Microsoft only "makes" games for 4 franchises nowadays"

its extremely ironic that you say that as imo that sounds very similar to one of the biggest gripes people have with nintendo in general

 

"Open your eyes, microsoft does not care about gamers, they care about finding ways to fool you out of your money."

lol and i suppose nintendo makes games purely because they care so deeply for us... not because they want to make money but because they care...

There, that's more like it. You should have stated that you're a pretty biased person from the beggining, we wouldn't have had this conversation then =D

Again, this is funny. You've mentioned Gran Turismo, Uncharted and God of War to counter my own list. Those are flagship titles from Sony, just as Gears and Forza are flagship titles from Microsoft; I don't see how that helps your case. It's funny, though, you mentioned that last year Microsof released only 3 games. Actually, they released 5; yet Sony released only 3 - and two of those games flopped hard because no one bothered playing them, despite being great games -. Now what does this tell us? Because if we follow your logic, my friend, this would mean that actually Sony is shoveling more than Microsoft. But don't be silly, now. Your flawed arguments are that: flawed.

Now here, knowing that you're pretty biased and you have hatred toward Microsoft, I won't bother in going on pointing out what's wrong with what you're saying (Not that you would listen anyway). But it was not until 2013 when the Ps3 had more JRPGs than the 360, you know. That should really tell you something, my friend. Oh, yes, Microsoft has more than shooters, and I have been having fun from a long time now. That without counting Halo, which I don't like. Imagine!

Oh, and that sentence of yours about the arcade games...it's pretty funny, you know. Here, I'll let Metacritic (even though numeric scores are pretty much biased, but hey! You've proven that this is a biased chat) talk for me:

Just for comparison purposes: Ni No Kuni (A game you didn't mention) holds an 86, God of War: Ascension an 80, the new Atelier Game (a game you didn't mention) have a 70 and Sly Cooper 3 (A game you didn't mention) holds an 75. Woah, would you look at that. "Don't even make a splash, huh".   :3

 

There you have your case. You're happy now? You want some orange juice now? Perhaps you're thirsty.

How is that relevant?
Makes you wonder why they don't just buy some 3rd party games. Why should he be afraid of the money Nintendo have?

Because they could rush in with a hostile takeover. Fire everyone with prejudice, but not before taking legal steps to make sure that they can never make an engine similar to unreal again, and then completely horde unreal away from all third parties, and watch them twist in the wind like the visionless, talentless hacks they are.

You are a mod, behave like one. This raged drivel means nothing. Epic supplies a great deal of third parties of a powerful, cheap, easy-to-use, and powerful engine. They have many. many business associatives and not without reason.
