Cuenta atrás oficial y rumores para el E3 12

An inside source close to the folks here at Techtroid has suggested we may be seeing a Star Fox reveal at E3 this year, along with the already announced Pikmin and Mario games.

The new title is believed to be developed by Retro Studios, who we know for a fact are working on a Wii U game.

Retro has previously said: “It’s a project everyone wants us to do.”

The source added that the game will be shown off, but will not be a launch game for the Wii U system.

The mass production dev kits (and i'm right bp ), when they were tweaked at Nintendo offices (beginning of february ? january ?), saw a slight increase of the framerate of a "famous engine" (lherre told us that) compare to the V4, and that wasn't the UE4. We're talking about a few more frames per second (less than 10 it seems). But it doesn't tell anything in regard to what Nintendo changed in the guts of the system by the time, if you look at graphic cards benchmarks, it happens that the following generation of a chip just bring 5 more fps compare to its predecessor on an engine, but is still more modern, efficient, more powerful in other situations (other kind of things to render), support new features, etc. So basically, even if the V5 were at the time (january/february) a very moderate step up from the v4, it could (speculation, beware) include alterations that will allow UE4 to run on it or handling it better.

Yeah i definitively didn't say "Nintendo pursued their tweaking on the mass production dev kits until the same time AMD commercialized HD7XXX chips, so it means Big N packed those in the big development box".

There are a lot of scenarios actually. As it's internal/under NDA/very secretive matters/early creation talks & engineering exchanges, it's obvious that Nintendo, if AMD thought it was relevant for the graphical capabilities needs of the Wii U, were informed of AMD advancements far earlier than the public release of southern islands based graphic cards. Maybe some innovations, refinements, features, of those chips, while they were in a certain step in their development (initial design ? firsts prototypes ? polishing ?), were suggested/proposed to Nintendo for the Wii U GPU. Maybe the latter is a so customized design that the heritage from existing chip is thin, it doesn't share a lot of DNA in the end with HD4XXX/HD5XXX/HD6XXX/HD7XXX (the more likely case). Let's just hope this GPU will pack AND enough raw power, AND be complete and modern feature-wise to support next-gen engines.

Pues siendo Activisión/Blizzard una y Treyarch trabajdno para estas, Black Ops 2. Ale asunto resuelto

Me sentiría profundamente decepcionado si Retro está detrás de Star Fox. No es una saga que me guste y como siempre he dicho, prefiero una nueva IP de esta gente. Lástima, porque ya es mucha gente que dice lo mismo...

Un saludo.

Como comenté hace unos días atrás, con que WiiU use una gráfica moderna, se podrían hacer cosas muy interesantes.

Si, yo quiero que Retro haga una nueva IP... pero, independientemente de eso, lo que esté haciendo Retro, será un JUEGAZO.



Y eso se traduce como??? cuantas "X's" o que?

A mi me gustaría que la saga Star Fox evolucionara a un juego más de aventuras/accion, con sus fases de naves, por supuesto. En mi opinión los personajes son lo suficientemente carismáticos para hacer un buen juego de aventuras.
