He didn't even try to be polite about it.

So on this week's episode of 'People don't remember that Twitter is a public platform', we'll see if EA, a company that's one two golden poos, still cares about its image. More at 11 :lol:

All in all, I don't care about how accurate his statements may or may not be. I don't care about how it's Nintendo. What I do care for is the reasoning. When you know you're essentially representing a company, WHY would you do something like this? It's social media suicide. It's happened quite a few times to people IN and OUTSIDE of the games industry. Badmouthing people over Twitter, or any other website, never lands you in a good spot.

Hey! A reason to post this.

Anyway, the Wii U is more powerful then this gen of gaming. IDK why they have the snub the Wii U because Sony and Microsoft are pretty much turning there consoles into PC like systems.

Allegedly can't run Frostbite 2 which runs on the nearly 8 year old 360.

Waiting for an independent person to prove/disprove that. If proven, it'd be rather sad, but is fine as long as Bayonetta 2 runs the way it should and doesn't force bullshit controls on you.

EA is justified in ditching the Wii U, since their stuff really just doesn't sell on Nintendo consoles.

As for this guy? Whatever. I doubt his comments will hurt the company all that much outside of people who sympathize with Nintendo (or those offended by the 'do a SEGA' comment). Tasteless? Absolutely. PR Nightmare? Doubtful.

Would I actually like to see this kind of thing happen all the time?

Fuck yes.

Allegedly can't run it. I am not gonna believe that until I actually see the facts and first off, why would you wanna run an old engine on a next gen system? You can run the unreal 4 engine on the Wii U Source. They just have to compress it more and it will run. They have to compress the unreal 4 engine on the PS4 and probably do the same on the next xbox because they will be able to make a console PC quality. So why can't they do the same to frostbite 3?

Shitty system is shitty and you're an idiot if you cant see it. Sure the exclusives will be great but I'm not buying a 300 dollar system to just play Nintendo games. Awful online service (per usual), no 3rd party excitement or exclusives I'd much MUCH rather wait for PS4 and the new Xbox, Nintendo has become a joke in the home console market.

Was over a buddys last night and had to wait 2 hours for a system update, no shitty connection either brand new Apple router right next to the Wii U. That type of shit is inexcusable, booted up the 360 while we were waiting and almost forgot about the Wii U.

That's exactly why I said I'm waiting for an independent source on that.

And awesome. Now if only there were many games that ran the Unreal engine that wouldn't be much better with their own in-house engines made for the game, I'd be excited.

I am sure a price drop will be coming in the future once the next Xbox and ps4 come out but smitty, the next Xbox and ps4 will probably cost double the price of the Wii U. If you have a problem with the Wii u's price how are ya gonna feel about the next Xbox and ps4?

Wii-U half the price of a PS4.
PS4 twice as powerful than Wii-U.

I see no problem here.

but for 600 you can make a PC that is more powerful then the PS4 and be a much better investment than the ps4.

I thought I read that the PS4 wasn't gonna be anywhere near as expensive as the launch PS3? Am I imagining things?

Yeah, enjoy playing the new Killzone and that Project Cars and all the other PS4 exclusives that have also had the PC version confirmed for OH WAIT NO THAT HASN'T HAPPENED.

Also, Smokey, you're right. They have stated that the price for the PS4 will be nowhere near as high as the PS3, but hasn't stated just how much it will be...

I'm reading rumors of $400/310 Euros (don't have that symbol on my keyboard, so it can fuck right off), but that's based on Japanese newspaper reports of it being at least 400k yen in Japan. The math adds up, as far as the rumors go, but the operative words there are "at least". Given that Sony did away with the cell architecture and went with something more developer-friendly, though, that price point does make sense.
