| lilbroex said: Every rumor to date stated that the Wii U was extremely simple to program for. Straight from the anouncement of the system there were many "named" devs stating how they had everything ported over from the other consoles and running perfectly with ease. Nintendo themselves announced how they were making the dev kits to where the games would be as easy to program as they are with the Wii. The general consenses was that the system was far easier to develop on than the PS3 or 360. Fast foward to new "anonymous devs with who provide not a shred of technically information despite what would be there obvious disregard for the NDA if what they were saying is true" providing more statements that amount to nothing other than: "The Wii U gonna suck" "PS3 and 360 rules" "We aren't fanboys pretending to be devs". That is ignored. Now "everyone" jumps to support the belief that it is hard to program for despite all of the claims of its ease of porgramability made by many named devs just like with the claims of it being underpowered. This is not accidental. These people simply want the worst news about it to be true. They hate Nintendo for some reason and will jump at any negative news that is posted. Legitimate journalism sites completely include. Especially the one we are on right now. |
I don't think this poll suggests WiiU will be hard to develop for, just that the NeXt box will be easier to develop for. And I don't think anyone's said it's difficult to develop for. I remember some anonymous devs in one article complaining it wasn't powerful enough, but that's not the same as 'difficult'. You just have to read between the lines.
