Cuenta atrás oficial y rumores para el E3 12

A news concerning the dev kits (models, availability to developers, etc.)

One month and half ago, i told you that big third-parties were noticed by Nintendo that they should receive the development kits following the V4 ones that they used since late last year/start of january, at the end of march/beginning of april. These "V5" dev kits seemed to be tagged final or near final, and see a slight increase in their performances.

Here's the message which i'm referring to

Nearly all this post's infos are STILL relevant, except the time schedule. It appears third-parties were waiting for these dev kits during all april. There has been a delay of at least one month in the supply of this equipment by Nintendo.

But finally, they just received them

Another important news: they are the mass produced dev kits.

_________________________

Here's some bits of my previous message in regard to this subject, but updated:

- Except maybe big japanese studios (like Capcom), i doubt that other third-parties received these dev kits (much) earlier. It's likely that my sources are one of the firsts to be granted of the latest revisions. This means that all the declarations, the news, from foreign developers, that you've read until now, were certainly in a V4 dev kit framework, before the release of these newest ones.

- A previous post of lherre indicated that Nintendo guys were testing an engine and saw slightly improved results on the "V5" compare to V4.
Context: it was posted 2 month and half ago, when lherre decided to come out of his lair in answer to my very first message to confirm that Wii U was clearly closer to "2x than 5x xbox360". And he basically added that the expected more advanced dev kit in Nintendo headquarters at the time that i've talked about will not change dramatically the Wii U power status. So he surely knew of these engine benchmarks before my intervention, maybe some days, maybe some weeks.
Assumption: considering the at least 3 months interval between these internal tests and the V5 delivery to third-parties (minus the dev kits assembly and shipping), there's a good chance that the V5 dev kits in the hands of foreign studios have received even more hardware refinements and optimizations than the models used for these Nintendo tests some time before. More about that in this following message.

Additional infos:

- Third-parties have one month to adapt to these new dev kits and to what they bring (in terms of performances increase, hardware modifications, and new features) until E3.
- As they are tagged "Mass Production", they are final. Maybe there will be later revisions with small refinements here and there, but nothing drastic, except changes of plans from Nintendo. So the hardware is stable now.
- One of the dev kit aspect (in comparison to the v4 ones) is... original
- Teasing part: besides possible improvement of the system power (slight to moderate though), there is at least one additional good news that come with them. It's not necessarily the obvious ones

Still interesting to know that they are the mass produced models, and are supplied to third-parties just now.

Vamos a ver, que yo sepa Sony no ha puesto un anuncio en televisión explicando que su nueva consola no es una revisión de la anterior. Nintendo si lo ha tenido que hacer. Todos sabemos que hay y habrá gente que no se enterará aunque se lo expliques 20 veces, pero si Nintendo ha tenido que hacer eso es que estaba MUY mal la cosa. Los anuncios no son precisamente baratos.

En cuanto a WiiU recuerdo que en el chat no sabíamos si el mando llevaba la consola dentro (como un tablet), si estaba conectado a una Wii normal, si era una WiiHD simplemente o que carajo pasaba Hizo una presentación MUY confusa. Si nosotros no nos enteramos ¿como se van a enterar los que están puestos?

Por cierto, a lo mejor para ti el mando de PS es una mierda, pero para otros no lo es y puede ser un símbolo de Sony perfectamente.

Sony no ha puesto anuncios de Vita a secas xDDDD Creo que he visto 2..
Y no he visto anuncio que explique que no es una DS o.o (ni he sido informado de ello). Aunque si te digo que hablar de publicidad en España es perder el tiempo. Los publicistas de Nintendo necesitan ser cambiados TODOS ^^u
Sigo pensando que el parecerse a DS (sobretodo en el nombre) ha hecho que tenga muchas más ventas de las que podia tener llamandose...yo que se..Ultimate Engine 3D (tomaya xDDD)

Lo del E3 ya di mi opinión, de un principio supe que era el mando..^^u Aparte de porque se ve en el video y en imágenes, porque LO DICE y porque los rumores ya apuntaban a un controller asi xD
Confusa si fue, pero ya te digo q tengo la sensación de que no estaba en sus planes y se vieron "forzados" a presentarla. Por eso no les dio tiempo a una presentación como era debido. Verás tu este E3 el cambio :P xD

Lo del mando SI, lo odio y no soy el único (todos los mandos que tengo de PS2 no son oficiales ninguno xD). Y lo odies o lo ames más que a tu mami, llevan TRES GENERACIONES con ese puto mando.
Sea simbolo o no es PATETICO que una empresa como SONY no tenga la MINIMA decencia de intentar hacer algo distinto (que encima ya tuvo juicios por plagio, tocatelos bien tocaos xD)
Es PATETICO que siga siendo un "referente" sobretodo en España y Europa una empresa como Sony por cosas como esa (y el move, y el "smash" de Sony, etc...)


Sobre los rumores que alguien traduzca (aunque nunca me han importado los numeros), y sobre un Xenoblade asi...CALLA POR DIOS ¬.¬ xDDD

¿No has vistos los anuncios de "Estos juegos son para DS... y estos para 3DS" o "Este juego también se puede jugar en 3DS"? Porque los han puesto.

Te olvidas de que tú no eres todos. Que tu lo tuvieras claro no quiere decir que todo el mundo lo tuviera ni que la conferencia estuviera bien hecha.

El mando funciona, la gente está acostumbrada a él ¿por qué iban a cambiarlo? Lo han adaptado a los nuevos tiempos haciéndolo inalámbrico y cambiando los gatillos. Que no te guste es tú problema.

Gamasutra: I know it's under wraps, but you guys are probably feeling pretty okay about Unreal Engine 4.

Tim Sweeney: Yeah, we're starting a behind-closed-doors showing of the engine to developers; this is part of our very early ramp-up cycle. We went through this cycle with Unreal Engine 3 starting in 2003 and 2004. At some point we'll make public announcements and ramp up to the point where developers are shipping games, but it's very early right now. We're aiming very high, and the intended platforms this is aimed at haven't even been announced.
