| Just read some fresh new Wii U rumours. As the time for its release closes the rumours will more then likely be true this is the latest rumour from Tomshardware
For starters, take all of this as mere rumor until the official news arrives in two weeks. According to the developer, the Nintendo console will launch on November 23, 2012 (worldwide?) and cost somewhere between $350 and $450 USD -- the price still isn't set in stone. The GPU of choice will be AMD's Radeon HD 6770 which will support not only DirectX 11, but Epic's Unreal Engine 4.
As for other specs, the rumor dump claims the console will sport 2 GB of RAM, 560 MB of which will be dedicated to the console's operating system. The Wii U's user interface will be customizable whereas the console itself will come packed with pre-installed software. It will also support touch-screen controllers.
On the Ubisoft front, slated games include Rayman Legends, The Avengers, Assassin's Creed 3 (which will run at 60fps at 1080p, compared to 720p on PS3 and Xbox 360) and Just Dance 4. Killer Freaks from Outer Space is set to arrive weeks after launch.
The Ubisoft developer also states that Crytek and Electronic Arts are working on Wii U products -- this factor is old news. Valve, on the other hand, is also reportedly bringing its Steam service to the new console in addition to ports of both Portal games. Achievements will be supported by the console as well.
Now here's an interesting tidbit: multiple versions of the Wii U are currently in the hands of developers. Does this mean Nintendo will offer tiered models? This seems unlikely given the company's past releases. The note seems to indicate that Nintendo may have provided multiple configurations to see what developers liked best while keeping the final cost to consumers reasonable.
Again, take all of this with a grain of salt. The Unreal Engine 4 report seems a little far-fetched given that it's finally able to run on a single Nvidia Kepler GPU -- unless Epic is offering a modified version of UE4 capable of running on Nintendo's hardware, that is. Rumor has it that Nintendo "tweaked" the console so that it could run Epic's latest engine. The company seemingly doesn't want to disappoint with this console, so UE4 could be a possibility.
Wow a AMD 6770 DX11 Wii U with 2gbs of RAM and capable of running UE4!! Say its true!! Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I wish they were just selling the game and had a single player campaign. This game looks amazing, the weapons sound beefier (especially the laser sounds IMO) and look better (continuous laser steams, the LRM smoke trails and the way it fires). Might just change my mind about online multiplayer games because ive been craving for Mech games for a long time Flag this | Edit this post |

| looks good! Smart thing is that they gave light Mechs a purpose (In straight out battles light mechs no matter how well piloted would be owned. They may be fast but several volleys of LRM20s and they are usually crippled). Being base runners mean they have an important role to play and if game has a weight limit having just assualt mechs would not be the best strategy.
Maybe if they can differentiate the game classes better then Mechwarrior games before it this would be awesome. Light Mechs are like scouts, 'archers' for fast hit and run and base running attacks and can have the electronic countermeasures (bigger reactor sizes effect ECMs and radars more then smaller ones thus smaller mechs with small reactors are more suited to the task). Medium mechs are like soldier class mechs, They are the most numerous and do the bulk of the fighting with average abilities. Heavy mechs are the support class and can fill a soldier class role, though they are not so numerous as medium class mechs.Finally the Assault class or Tanks which are leading assaults where their heavy armour can soak damage, though their speed would mean it has to be well supported for maximum effectiveness. weight restrictions would severely limit Assualt & Heavy mech numbers so they become like Centre piece units and must be used wisely.
Well if they wanted too they could also allow unrestricted drop weights so any size battles can be played although they should give bonus xps to the team with the lower weight
If they can make a clear difference everyone wont just take heavy or assault mechs and make games more interesting and varied. There has to be a way of making light Mechs more appealing because face it in a fight against any other close they will usually always come off second best. Probably reward them for quick raids and other scouting tasks with bonus xp and give them bonus xps for taking out larger mechs (more for Assault) Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Have you tried Men of War Assault squad in Coop mode? That game is awesome and intense trying to carefully coordinate attacks and defence with fellow players and limited resources. Hope its a feature in Company of Heros 2 though the realistic game play of games like Men of War make me think twice about it like you Sync. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Thanks for comparing it with the old i7 920. I can see that an overclocked 920 can still put up some decent numbers, so despite the better efficiency of ivy bridge processors i can wait another few years before rendering it (my i7 920) to the obsolete bin. My 920 is OC to 4 ghz so it should almost match a stock ivy bridge in some games. Sure i dont get the power efficiency or overclocking headroom but atleast i dont have to spend on a new mobo, and cpu which would wipe out any power savings for several years an ivy bridge cpu can achieve. So happy i dont have to upgrade just yet.
Besides until 4k resolution monitors come out i dont see any reason to upgrade my gaming rig. My gaming rig set up (ATM) comfortably keeps my 1080p monitor running smoothly.
BTW Lord Orion i would give you a link but this site wont let me post em even for links to their own site. It is on the home page as an article link on the middle of the page not the right hand side (if you didnt already find that out). All the articles on the right hand side still dont work for me either. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Damn!
I really liked the first game and the spin off Warhead. Thought they were pretty good games now your telling me the second is garbage, arrgh thats frustrating.
Funny thing is that Crysis was a PC game ported to the consoles. It was a great game IMO. Now Crysis 2 which is practically a console game ported to the PC sounds like its crap (not my opinion). LOL
consolitis? Flag this | Edit this post |

| can anyone explain to me why the f**k its taken so long to get any decent Mech games. Last one i played was Front Mission and that was pretty decent, other then that i cant think of any.
This one looks ok but why the Free to Play i want a campaign i dont have time to play online like that (finished BF3 havent even played online) I assume these types of games dont have a single player campaign (even hawken i believe)
Sigh i still miss Battletech/ Mechwarrior Flag this | Edit this post |

| Hmm i went and bought BF3 against my better judgement and now they seem to be doing it for their entire catalogue of games in what i feel is the most blatant form of product pushing (Origin) imaginable. Hey its there games and they can do what they like, but dont BS us that Steam is restrictive as an excuse. We all know its to push your own service EA.
Wont buy EA games if this trend continues. Grow some balls and admit that your doing this deliberately to oppose steam EA. Flag this | Edit this post |

| It better not have Intel Intergrated Graphics.
The price range you estimated for the razer i can get a pretty darn powerful Laptop with a bigger screen. As you know screen real estate is important to me so if this is more then $500 i wont even consider it. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Interesting concept if the price is good i might consider this, especially if it allows the use of Steam. I like it. Since the psp vita wont fit in your pocket (the 3ds just) if you want high end gaming on the go this looks like an excellent alternative. Hopefully battery life is ok. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | The fact that direct 100% translation of persons action to ingame movement tells me that 1:1 is an ideal that they will try to achieve but never succeed. Besides i am sure that only a miniscule per portion of gamers will want to play a game as long as Skyrim like that. With the Wii Motion controls you can play as crazy (swinging arms wildly) or as relaxed (sit on the sofa and make slight movements) as you want. The way Kinect makes you have to stand and make full movements means you have only one choice, and the idea of doing that for 100 hours plus will very shortly after the novelty wears of wear thin.

| | my understanding of 1:1 is that if i move my hand a certain way it will be directly translated to the ingame character. No changes or deviations what so ever. If there are changes in the movement translation (including speed) its not 1:1. Im not saying its bad but 1:1 is an ideal to me and not a reality. Flag this | Edit this post |
