Maybe you're not actually trying to say this to me, but I was saying that I understood what he was trying to say.  All I wanted to point out was that this wasn't an equivalent example of how the games would differ in look.  (Not saying that there wouldn't be one or that it's actually negligible)


No not specifically you, the post you quoted, and quite a few other people in here who seem to be very offended by this "revelation" that I think many probably saw coming last year when the PS3/360 versions were cancelled, and reinforced when the Wii U version was then kicked down the street a bit further.

Edit: DAmmit I see the forum quote tree automatically took out the original post prior to that comparison being posted.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

So this was crowdfunded for 4 plattforms, and only one of those plattforms are actually getting the damn game. This developer is fucking assholes

this just shows how bad the game developers are.

Mario kart 8 runs 720p60
needforspeed runs 720p30
many similar racing games runs on 360.

If they cant make the game run on wii u they probl dont want to try at all. You can expect that they maybe invest like 1 month work in the wii u version at all.


Well, it's not just about frame rates and resolution; there are a lot of effects and post-processing involved in many games, these require a lot of power.

It's not as simple as resolution x frame rate = a set demand for processing power regardless; there is so much more to game development. Regardless of what people want to say about the developer and place the blame on them, it is a fact that the Wii U has significantly less processing power than both the One and the PS4 and this does cause certain issues, especially with titles that require a lot of post-processing effects.

That said; it is a dick move that they're just cutting away platform after platform, doubly so since this is crowd-funded.

yeah i agree but still the wii u is more powerfull then xbox360 and ps3 and both got good looking racing sims. So they might have to remove some effects and co, but the game would still look pretty good compared to last gen games.Do you think mario kart 8 look bad btw?

I think we are already behind the time as games looked "bad". That was on wii.

Now its more like

wii u: game looks good

ps4: game looks better

pc: game looks best

 

But on none 8gen system a game will look bad /unplayable bad if made devent.

Ok, let's see.... Are they f****** stupid or what? Is running at 23fps 720p without downgrading? SHIT, THEN JUST DOWNGRADE IT, YOU BUNCH OF IMBECILES! It was obvious the Wii U would not be able to run the main version of the game! It was implied that they would need to scale it down! It was damn obvious! And now they complain and surprise about it? They realize NOW that they may need to downgrade the Wii U version? NOW?! For the love of God... this is so stupid is not even funny.

Really, this is beyond me. Stupid people is beyond me. And Slightly Mad Studios people are VERY stupid.


Its about how far they are going to have to go to comprimise their vision of the game I suspect.

Would you buy the game on the Wii U if it ended up like this:

 

With Wii U on one side, and the PS4  on the other?

Are those nipples on Zero Suit Samus I see?



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

Dude should maybe try to read accurately before making comments like this:

4 Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed PS3 2011 Racing Electronic Arts 0.18 0.34 0.00 0.13 0.65
5 Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed X360 2011 Racing Electronic Arts 0.18 0.21 0.00 0.04 0.43
9 Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed PC 2011 Racing Electronic Arts 0.05 0.11 0.00 0.03 0.19

Add in digital sales, especially on PC and, heck why not, the IOS version and you're easily at "multiple million"

He is an asshole if you ask me.

And the amount of "oh now we dont have the game that we have waited years on wiiu? it´s ok, we are very happy :)" on that thread is sick and disgusting.

To be fair, he says they had already sold multiple million WHILE VGChartz WERE saying 180k, he doesn't say they are currently saying it sold 180k.

This is past tense, not present tense.
