Wii U downhill confirmed!

@FrancisNobleman

You should know better then to treat, or think of consoles as being identical. Your talking about an extreme late gen game being ported to a last gen console. That hasn't been on the market for more then a year. A game of this caliber comes from many years of experience. A game of this quality was the better part of a decade in coming to the 360 and PS3. All that time the developer learning every little nuance of the hardware. To get every little bit of potential out of it.

Look experience matters for something. Especially when it comes to comparable hardware. Would you seriously expect to get a game of this polish a year after the other two consoles had launched. So why would you expect it out of the Wii U. It isn't like the console came with enough power to spare to pull off sloppy seconds. It is last gen hardware, and the really good developers are moving their focus to next gen hardware. So you probably wont ever see a game like GTA5 on the Wii U.

Don't imply that is would be a walk in the park, or take next to no work to pull off. It would cost them some serious money to make, and even then they would have to cut out a lot of shit that made the other two versions. To get it to run well enough to be playable, and if that happened. I can guarantee you every Nintendo fan on these forums and elsewhere would bitch up a storm about lazy developers. You get what you pay for, and Nintendo fans they don't pay for shit that isn't made by Nintendo.

Yeah although having devs admit such a thing is pretty terrible. Even if these claims aren't true, its still a dire situation in which they possibly could be concevied to be true. 

That's a real shame, i would of liked to see that

I have inside contacts that confirm Sony and Microsoft are refusing to develop Wii U games.

So I just contacted a friend of mine at Take Two. I told him about this rumor. This was his reply.

"Hey, ***** [I'm blurring my name].
Seriously, who makes up this shit? I love how this website I've never heard of knows that somehow 10 developers have returned their Wii U SDK's but yet they don't know who they are? How does that even work? Did 9 or 10 anonymous studios just all decide to tip off this one site at once?

I'd also like to know who that 3D animator is. Jeff Godfrey worked for THQ, not Visual Concepts.

The Internet. It just makes me shake my damn head sometimes."



Make of it what you will but the fact that that website claims 10 studios have returned Wii U dev kits but can't name them raised the bullshit flag to full mast.

Ya'll are taking this source as legit? Figures.

wow, so much nonsense on a single post. in case you didn't notice wii u is a next gen console, the game wouldn't need any cutting.

and porting is still porting, you make it sound like it would be a herculean job to do what they do ALL the time (porting). it should barely cost an extra 2-3KK to make a wii u version and they'd profit at least 5 times that amount.

Edit: P.S: It will be hilarious if nintendo confirms GTA V on tomorrow's direct :P

Come on Sonyfriends, you really don't believe this?

Rule of thumb:

If negative, it's gospel.

If positive, demand proof.
