Nintendo needed to release a New Console because of Declining Wii sales and they didn't want there 1st party title's Budgets to skyrocket so there solution was to release a console that while providing more power than the current consoles wasn't so powerful that game production costs would go through the roof.
...but how to entice people to spend there hard earned cash on something a "little bit" more powerful?
The answer is throw in a gimmick. Hmmmmm tablets are the rage now a days Nintendo thought. We will throw one of them in there an market it as a "game changer"
This of course has totally back fired on them. If only they would have done this years earlier they "may" of had an actual chance of getting some footing.
...but NO they waited till the PS4 and Xbox One where on the horizon to do so.
There is nothing wrong with buying a Wii U but don't fool yourself into thinking that you will be using that Gamepad's screen for anything else other than playing games on the toilet. Reply+15
Isn't Viseral actually EA Redwood Studios the ones who created 007 Everthing or Nothing?
If so they should work on another 007 game just like that gem and ditch the crappy auto aim they added in From Russia with Love which ruined the game. Reply+3
The previous Battlefronts let you pretty much recreate any scenario from the films.
Unfortunately I think EA will mandate they role back this features so they can release many Battlefront titles into the future to maximize there profits :(
Otherwise people might not be so willing to invest in a sequel if the previous one had it all and look photo real. Reply+2
Speaking of the trailer, some have expressed concern that it suggests the new Mirror's Edge will be more action-orientated than the first game, which focused more on escaping enemies than it did killing them.
Söderlund promised developer DICE won't turn Mirror's Edge into a shooter, but did confirm that Faith will be a more powerful character than she was in the first game.
Stop trying to dodge the question. No one mentioned Shooter. The trailer clearly shows something that seems to be based on Melee though.
Speed and Pacing matter. Having to stop every 10 feet to re engage in fights will kill this game. Reply0

IO Interactive cancels everything that isn't Hitman, including Kane & Lynch
They where just starting to hit there stride with Dog Days.
All they needed to do for the sequel was move it back toward Heists and it would have kicked serious ass.
