Holy crap.... Darkstalkers Resurrection is out next week? Huh.... anyone getting that? After so many RPGs these past few months I'm in need of a new fighting game.

The REAL question is: What system is everyone getting Injustice for? Do you give your Wii U a little lovin' in hopes that it's the better version on the more-powerful system --or-- do you get it for the system that more people have (PS3, 360)?

I am taking a gamble and getting it for Wii U.

I'm thinking if I get it it would be for the Wii U. I have to show support and hopefully more developers will put games on the Wii U.

Only played tomb raider for a out an hour, I was falling asleep so I had to stop. This opening tutorial is so generic. In that blog I mention to GG that dev handbook everyone uses now to make a blockbuster game, this game is the book. You can see pieces of every big game gluded together. This gen has become a parody of itself.

That said the game seems cool when you are in the big open areas. The graphics are crazy. I'm sure the game is good but man is this game following the handbook way too much

The first two hours are atrocious. Literally 1 hour is you walking around while the game tells you shit.

They're both crap, Bear. It's like comparing one turd to another. Sure, you might like one more than the other, but is it really worth much?

P.S. I enjoyed Hamster's reply.

I too will be getting it on the Wii U boys. And as Lex Luthor I will make you cry.

Lara's tits are ridiculous in TOMB RAIDERtm.

That is all.

If you look back at the launch of Wii, we were able to prepare a game like Wii Sports, which at the time was clearly a new game, and launch that alongside a Zelda game. With the Wii U, we took a similar approach by launching Nintendo Land as well as a Mario game — though we’re working on Zelda for Wii U, that’s going to take us a little big longer.


From my perspective, I think ideally it would have been nice if we’d been able to release Pikmin 3 closer to launch, but the Wii U — though it shares the Wii name — is obviously a brand new system, with new chips and graphical capabilities. It can do a lot more, and in the process of developing a lot of the features and functionality, the resources required to best utilize those features drew on some of the same resources that might have been spent developing games, thus we weren’t able to bring quite as robust a lineup initially.


At the same time, we still have new things to learn about how to leverage the features and functionalities of Wii U in ways that create fun and interesting new ways to play, including new gameplay systems. As we become even more familiar with the hardware, we’ll be able to do more from a software standpoint. That’s an area we’re currently devoting resources to.  />

Whenever I start working on something I always start with creating new gameplay. After that gameplay becomes more concrete, we look at which character is best suited to the gameplay. So I guess from my standpoint, the ideal situation would be that we’re creating an experience that’s so new and so unique that we can present it to consumers with a new character or IP in a way that would be easiest for them to really understand the concept and enjoy the gameplay. But it may also be that in some of those cases it makes more sense for it to involve some of the characters that are more familiar to our fans.


When we created the original Wii Sports, we could have done it as a “Mario Sports” game, but we decided not to. Similarly with Wii Fit, that could have been a “Mario Fitness” game, but in both of those cases we ultimately decided that introducing those games as new IP or new franchises was a better approach. Because those games don’t have specific characters associated with them, people may not view them as new  IP, but certainly when we created those games we intended them to be new franchises. It may be that in the future, as we’re generating new ideas, we’ll come across an idea that makes the most sense to release with a new character.

Tomb raider impressions, while the game is clearly high quality it feels so derivative, like every cliche of this gen is in there. The combat seems pretty good but so far (up to the radio tower) it hasn't opened enough to really be special. That is the thing nothing feels special, I can't find this games hook, what does this game do better or different than any other. It seems great at everything though.

Sorry Travo I miss my dad everyday it's been 12 years since he passed. Vader I know people will think I'm nuts but I'm liking RE6 a lot more then RE5 ,,,,,

Glad you are enjoying it though we feel different on RE5. The hate RE6 got makes no sense in the conte t of how other games get praised even if they do the same things.
