Is it truly a bad thing?

Am I the only one who thinks that if SEGA denies it, then maybe the rumour isn't true?

Regardless, the game looks pretty bad so it wouldn't be a huge loss.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Clearly these days an anonymous tip is more trustworthy than a publisher ._.

It is a sad state of affairs when that happens, indeed.

Rumours have begun to surface that suggest that the Wii U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines has been postponed indefinitely. Kotaku writer Jason Schreier says he received a tip around a month ago that the flawed game had been canned on Wii U. He said he has spoken to SEGA who have denied it. It’s also worth noting that Amazon has removed the Wii U version from its site.

We heard from a tipster about a month ago that the Wii U version had been “postponed indefinitely.” We reached out to Sega, and they denied it. I’ll let you guys fill in the blanks there. :)

So much for being the definitive version?


It is the definitive version. Simply because it hasn't released.


perhaps the WiiU version was too good compared to the other too. i.e. looked liek the demo.

LOL one can dream haha considering PC version looks shit too.

Incompetent GBX, I shall hate you forever for this, glad I didn't shelve out for BL2 after the first fiasco that was DNF, they don't deserve my money.

I was hoping that the Wii U version would fix some of the issues because it was going to cook a little longer. But then again the current version has been in the oven for five years and it got burned.

The funny part is those that are right now basically saying 'meh was a bad game anyway i don't care that its not being released, at least it wont tarnish the wiiu name' - will be doing a 180 and saying 'ha it looks better than your 'hardcore consoles' should it actually see a release, despite them now saying it's a pile of poop not fit for their console.

Funny how that works.


if it looks like crap and tastes like crap, it's probably crap.

on ANY console.

Eww. If you think something looks like crap and you still need to confirm it I suggest you try smelling it before you taste it.

The definitive version.  LMAO!  The definitive version is almost always the PC version (For instance Dark Souls is arguably better on PS3).  

Look I want to be clear and state right now that I am NOT trolling, but seriously, the Wii U is looking BAD.  You know a system is doing bad when a game with "Aliens" in the name was one of those last hopes for a third party game proving the Wii U's "power."

Spoiler Alert:  The Wii U is roughly 25% stronger than the PS3 in real world performance.  The thing is it isn't gonna have first parties proving its strength (Zelda REMAKE? Don't make me laugh!  Killzone 2 from 2009 says high!), and third parties aren't gonna bother programming that extra 25% for a system that has a pittifully small user base in comparison to PS360.

The only thing Nintendo can do IMO is start a GREAT shooter franchise that harnesses all of the Wii U's power along with the abilities of the controller, and drop the price to $250 for the 32GB version (Just forget the laughable 8GB).  

 

P.S.  The Wii U's tiney 25-50% performance lead over the PS3 is bottlenecked by:

1) No HDD.  Game updates have to be small (Say goodbye to BF4), and no games can be installed to mega increase texture load times.  Oh and btw anyone who knows anything about computer hardware will tell you an externall HDD over USB is no where near the same speed as an internal one.  Quote me, no AAA games will be able to be installed to it.

2) The second screen.  Essentially the only thing that can be shown on it with no performance hit is menus/mini maps.
