RE began on PS1. Also PS1 had Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filtet and Gran Turismo.




I would absolutely play a Salmon Fillet third person shooter .

I´m not even joking.

Question about x86 and PowePC:
Consoles for the last generation of consoles all were PPC. Did "everybody" in the industry see it as a natural progression to take the step to x86?
Did Nintendo miss signs of the time that all others could see?
Did something change during the time from WiiU final arcitechure to Spring 2013 when MS and Sony finalized their new consoles?

Probably

No. They wanted to make weaker hardware because It's cheaper.

IDK

If ya say so, it took 4 years of developers sharing insight in to the system just to tile textures over objects without distortion during rotation, don't get me started on the maximum texture size (yes i know youre joking but still)

Is x86 a more expensive hardware? 

As all last generation consoles (X360, PS4 and Wii) were PowerPC, development of games software should not be such a big factor either.

The game must have been expensive then.

Lol let these Sony gamers have there screen resolutions and frames per second because that's all they have, and it doesn't take away the fact Playstation is a boring brand and they've been playing the same way since 1995, Sony will never have the essence of been a video games company, there just an imitation, your playing a Playstation 1 with better graphics, that's what you have there




Yes a wiimote and nunchuk, which Sony again tried to imitate, remember!

Sony had a motion controller in 2001 actually

Wow, if you want to play that game - Nintendo had a motion controller in 1989 actually. 

Does that matter?  Those motion control inputs were vastly different.  The 'move' motion controller was incredibly similar and tacked on only after the obvious financial success of the wii-mote.

There's a little bit of truth there in the OP. Wii U isn't as powerful as 4 or One, but it can potentially get more bang for the buck than the other systems. The problem is that developers aren't going to want to put in the effort to do so.

If the Wii U had an 8-core PowerPC CPU and 8GB of RAM along with the 32MB of eDRAM it has it would absolutely rip the PS4 and XB1 to shreds.

Sadly it doesnt, so move on.
