They tweeted today they have reduced resolution from 1080p to 720p - the reason why?

Wonder if the Headbangers will work as well then.

Yup, good. Nothing wrong with single player focus; it's almost a niche market these days. You don't want people bothering you when you get involved with a good book or film, which is why this online multiplayer/co-op rumour for the next Zelda has got me worried.

I don't think anyone is implying they gimped it on purpose, just that they were possibly negligent because they were looking into the near future.

Well, that poster on Reddit seemed quite convincing, although I'm sure paychecks can be mocked up in Photoshop. Worst version with framerate issues and good ol mini games sounds about right.

I think it's feasible to believe, at least there's nothing about it that strikes me as totally unbelievable. You could flip the question and ask then why are the current Gen versions so, so sloppy? To me it seems so sloppy it's a joke. Why release them like that, like no one cared? Unless no one did care, for a reason. I'm not sure why anyone thought that demo footage was possible on current Gen, maybe PC or the consoles with downgrades and lots of tricks and work arounds. The lighting effects seen in that demo footage would be much simpler to achieve on the modern GPUs on next Gen consoles. Wii U having its own assigned studio unlike the others also, I think, adds credence - don't you? One thing that doesn't quite add up is has this Demiurge studio got the tallent to make something like that on the Wii U with the scant SDK tools we know Wii u dev kits suffer with at the moment. That's quite a big sticking point for me, but most of the other stuff, yeah, I could believe ... so even if it isn't true, it's one of the more interesting rumours I've heard in a while... I like it

If the GearBox guy isn't a nutter, we found some small bits of info out about the GPU, kind of... I'll leave this here for reference only at the Mo http://uk.ign.com/blogs/paladinrja/2013/01/15/whos-afraid-of-the-big-bad-u-thats-wii-u Apparently the Guy on Reddit has been 'confirmed ' via paychecks from Sega, so I guess he's winning on the credible evidence front so far. Update. Errrrm, all his [Reddit guy who said Wii U version stinks] posts and account has been deleted! It's getting too weird now, I'm disappearing down the rabbit hole.

Demiurge's tweet basically confirms they're developing it. Could be a nice little tonic for Wii U sales this, too. Looks someone after playing CoD for 5 hours straight.

Also adds up with the dev saying all the nice things about the CPU, will be definitive version... yada, yada... There's a lot about this that adds up - don't be so quick to write it off... Still might be a fundamentaly flawed game though !!

Same reason the PC version was dumbed down? EDIT Also, don't you think it kind of adds up seeing as no one seemed to give two shits about pissing the current gen versions out... I thought it seemed almost comical... this would go a long, long way in explaining that.

Are we taking bets Officially, it would have to be classed as rumour, but source seems well known/respected on GearBox forums... so... Also see Demiurge tweet. Guy on Eurogamer forums says "some shit"... Have you seen the state of their writers? God only knows the mental capacity of their forum members.

Done. Just posted early to get your suspender elastic snappin'

So you know people are asking what happened the sweet looking demo footage from the videos with all the dynamic lighting and what not? It was on Eurogamer... Well, as a joke I commented that footage was probably from the Wii U version... ... well guess what guys.. .. ... .. :) Sweet baby Jesus.

Hopefully it will get the Ninja Gaiden treatment. It's amazing they released the game as it is as if they thought "maybe no will notice" hahahaha... then eveyone just tries to throw each other under the bus... I think it's hilarious lol.

But EA are out to get Nintendo because of Origin-gate... what's the deal?? :p It's effort like this that makes me want to support a game and hope it gets great sales; I see no reason why it shouldn't. BLOPS2 better watch out - it might might getting the trade-in treatment for this!

The best of it is, I imagine most of this horse meat will have had a good organic life - bet the supermarkets are kicking themselves, could have charged double.

You'll all be crying out for a Rodeo burger in 20 years time because the number of human rodents on the planet and the draughts in America forcing the price of cattle feed up through the roof, a sweaty McD's burger will cost a fiver. Obvioulsy I wouldn't choose to eat horse; what has happened is wrong and needs getting to the bottom of, but if I have eaten horse unawares, I can't say I'd be arsed because it's not like it's poison, is it.

You should check out this guy's videos. He plays with the WiiMote and is just an absolute demon. He shows you his settings in one vid. http://www.youtube.com/user/pwnsweet/videos?view=0 It's inspired me to believe I can sort out my woeful performances if I wanted to... Probably take a fair amount of effort but I don't know how much desire is there to be honest. Just found out that lost hotfix disabled Aim Assist on the WiiMote because there were exploits. Also found out Aim Assist on DAnalogue stays locked on even when the target moves behind cover!!!!! I can't believe the flack WiiMote users get when these are the kind of concessions DA users are rewarded with.

For some reason I can't post a new thread so I'll post this here??? So there's one bug there for a kick off ! I've noticed embedded YouTube videos don't show on the Wii U browser, so is there anything in the ControlPanel you can switch on or a plugin you can install to remedy this? I notice a couple of forums embed the video and it also embeds a clickable link to the video underneath too!

Aye I know, they did the deal on different days though. On the new trailers they show the game contained in a cardboard box, guessing it contains the pre-order figure... hope we get this too and not just the figure in a plastic bag tapped to the case or something.

I did the same only with Zavvi - the deal ended very quickly and looks like The Hut has done the same. Seems like an amazing deal.

Just logged in to watch a game from last night in CoD TV with sexual intent and was prompted with another update - Not sure if these are all new or if it's been added to from the last update.

Platinum uploaded a 60fps version of the recent trailer. http://platinumgames.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/wiiu_wonderful101_trailer_012213s.mov .

I'm glad it's not really easy to buy and download tables; the way, as you say, the demo is set up, ie it has no value at all, it would be so easy for users to just sleep walk into a table purchase, which I think is wrong. There's already been controversy in Japan about the morality of NFC and micro-transaction market so Nintendo will probably be moving with this in mind. We are already all such victims to the advertising and marketing which plays on our psychology with no mercy. This pinball demo is nothing but a cock tease so I'm glad there's a number of speed bumps in place to make the user consider their purchase rather than being tricked into it.

Some kind of Nintendo fiscal meeting going on right now and this person is tweeting the transcript live - https://twitter.com/gibbogame
