No seriously the question is : can you expect there will be any audience for GTAV on WiiU? Just to remind you that Crystal Dynamics excluded a WiiU Tomb Raider although Underworld was ported to Wii (because they thought there could be a market). This is not about power, it's about the audience you address to. |
This is a very valid point! Take heed!

Yup, there is not much of an audience for bad and watered down ports on Nintendo platforms. Although I do think that this topic is about an equal version of GTA V on the Wii U, so his post completely misses the point.
|
But I guess Wii U SHOULD be a place for watered down ports - just like the PS360! Except for graphics, the Wii suffered from a lack of 3rd party support, so to get GTAV would be a big boost for the Wii U. But it's like you said; it has to be equal to the other versions - or better
|
Lets put aside our Ninty love and think. @bolded, makes no sense, for the forseeable future the 360 will still be the lead platform they develop for so it wont have watered down ports. They wont be ports at all. Now when PS4 720 come along im sure Wii U will become lead platform
|
The thing with Wii U as a lead platform for development is the tablet-like controller. You can throw all the maps and inventories and what-have-you on there, but that is just not possible (as far as we know) on the PS720. The U could actually suffer for having a different controller in that aspect...
|
I disagree, those features are easy enough to implement, that it wont really put devs out of the way, and Sony has their own tablets and Vita and I wouldnt be surprised if they implement one or both of those for PS3 like Wii U's tablet. So that would give devs an even bigger reason to not freak out
|
Even if PS3 got Vita, why would WiiU be the lead plat? It'll definetly hold its ground against PS360 for sure, but when the PS720 comes? I think they'll be more powerful (how much? I don't know, but they will be) and why have the WiiU as the lead then? Wouldn't it be easier to develop the games for one of the PS4 or Xbox720 and then "down grade" them for the WiiU port??

No it wouldnt, otherwise we would have seen alot more "core" games for Wii that was on PS360. Its much harder to downgrade than it is to upgrade, and the weaker the system that is being downgraded is the worse the resuly will be. Just look at Wii's library. I say Wii U could be the lead platform, for the same reasosn PS2 was the lead platform for most games. It might be cheaper to work with, it will have been out already before the comp and most importantly, like PS2 it will be the weakest but it wont be that weak that it cant run PS4/720. We'll be looking at a PS2/GC/Xbox thing again. UNLESS SONY/MS pull another PS360 and have a massive hardware leap, but considering how much that cost them, i seriously doubt they will do it.
