Chris Remo, community manager and writer at Double Fine Productions, has told Joystiq that The Cave for Wii U will utilise the GamePad for camera and character switching. The publication says that the GamePad is simply a glorified character selector and camera controller, and that’s it. Remo also stated that the game will be pretty much identical to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions.
“So other than that, it pretty much plays like all the other versions. We did work really hard to ensure that visually everything you’re seeing is identical to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, so there’s no downscaling, there’s nothing going on that is not up to par with the other next-gen systems. There’s nothing super wacky going on, but it’s a completely full-featured version of the game.”
well done…. same as SEVEN YEAR OLD CONSOLES
must be that lame cpu
I highly doubt THIS game (The Cave) is CPU demanding, Metro and Crysis are CPU demanding…. have you ever played a PC game?
Cmon, how dumb we can be?
XBOX 360 specs:
10 MB eDRAM
RAM: 512 MB unified ram (both system and games or in other words RAM and VRAM “2in1”)
GPU: ATI X series 1800
PS3 specs:
RAM: 512 MB split ram (256 MB VRAM dediated to games aka GPU and another 256 MB dedicated to system)
GPU: nVidia 7800
Wii U specs:
RAM: 1GB VRAM (games) + 1 GB RAMRAM (system)
They said Wii U has 32 MB eDRAM………
Official IBM site also says it has eDRAM: “IBM’s embedded dynamic random access memory (test chip shown here) will help deliver a thrilling new game experience to Nintendo fans. The new memory technology, a key element of the new Power microprocessor that IBM is building for the Nintendo Wii U console, can triple the amount of memory contained on a single chip, making for extreme game play. ”
GPU: AMD HD radeon series (not X series), we dont know whats exactly inside but obiviously that means its stronger than PS3/60 GPU (not on par)
Conclussion:
Im 100% sure this game is not CPU demanding, its more RAM/GPU demanding for sure and why the game looks the same? id say its due to laziness, its obivious.
I guess i’m going to buy this for mi Wii U, the best console on the market.
You already have it, don’t you remember? c:
LMAO! you avatar is hilarious! XD
you are my hero triforce J!
Those specs are music to my ears!
obvious troll is obvious
No. It must be the tricky GPGPU based architecture. The game is being designed for Xbox and ps3 architecture which are more CPU based. So if you put that code on wiiu it struggles. But then if you change some stuff around, then you can start to think about making it look a lot better on wiiu.
A rushed port is a rushed port.
Xbox 360 has a weak inline cpu with a old fashioned half speed catch 3.2cores and 1.6 ghz catch thats some old fashioned shit right there….and it does game code sound io and os and graphics assistence…. The wiiu has in the same place as x360scpu a tricore custom out of order cpu with custom edram catch at full speed a dedicated HD surround sound processor and a ARM co cpu for io os so the wiiu has 2cpus and 1 sound dsp vs the x360s cpu only Weak /lame. LOL IDIOTS
The dev ported a game and didnt upgrade it please explain to me a educated and sane person what this has to do with a weak cpu that doesnt exist and low clock and slow clock does not mean weak U INEPT MORON. Metro last light devs have a very very long pipe cisc x86. Cpu engine on metro pc they then use the port tricks to get it on inline long pipe stage ibm stripped down cores THE WiiU Has a out of order risc ultra efficent very very short pipped cpu so what a intel core would do at 3.0ghz the wiiu core can do at say 1250 mhz to 1600 mhz. You are an idiot notice the phraze low clock and slow clock no one said WEAK cpu no one said lame cpu fanboys and sites said that stop trying to look for ways to stop wiiu from winning Winning bitch fanboy the wiiu cpu has over 15 execution uuits 5/6 per core vs 1 per core xbox 360 cpu 3 vs 15 plus and 3mb edram catch wipes the floor with 1mb sram catch you prize clown 12 x more catch than wii and 3 x more catch than x360 plus its edram way more. bandwidth and supports max 4 to1 data compression thats a virtual catch of 12 mb so dont u look deranged
Holy fuck learn how to punctuate.
Also, the Wii U CPU is weaker. But I don’t think we’ll honestly know the reason why this game is exactly the same and not better until the developer tells us himself.
http://mynintendonews.com/2012/09/21/developer-says-wii-u-cpu-is-a-challenge/
Well, learn how to punctuate to an understandable level at least.
ATTACKIMG GRAMMER ONLINE IN BLOGS AND FORUMS HAS BEEN PROVEN PHYCOLOGICAL FACT BY THE WAY AS THE DEFENSE MECHANISM OF A PERSON LOOSING OR LOST A ARGUMENT ITS PHYSIOLOGICAL FACT THAT THOSE HURT BY TRUTH OR MADE TO FEEL DUMB BY SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT
ISNT IT STRANGE IT WASNT UNTIL I CORRECTED THE SAD LITTLE FAN BOYS WITH WIIU CPU TECH FACT THAT THE GRAMMAR POLICING STARTED AND THE INSULTS
I DIDNT COME HERE TO WIN WRITER OF THE YEAR I CAME HERE TO STATE FACT KICK ASS AND CHEW BUBBLE GUM AND FUK SLAGS OK
3MB EDRAM CATCH DESTROYS 1MB SRAM OF X360 FACT
15 TO 18 EXECUTION UNITS DESTROYS X360S 3
45 NM MCM EMBEDDED DESIGN DESTROYS X360
DEDICATED HD SOUND 5.1 PLUS GAMEPAD PLUS WII REMOTE SOUNDS ALL AT THE SAME TIME IN SURROUND SOUND DESTROYS X360S DD 5.1 ITS ALSO HD AND ITS ALSO ALL DONE ON A DSP NO CPU WASTED ON SOUND WHATS SO EVER
ARM IO/OS CHIP CALLED IMPUT OUTPUT PROCESSOR RUNS OS AND IO AND FUNCTIONS SO GPU AND CPU DONT DO IT
ARM CO CPU IBM OUT OF ORDER MAIN CPU AND A DEDICATED DSP HD SOUND CHIP VS XENON LOL AT MS FANS
1) tl;dr
2) Go back to school
im 40 i made 250 k thats two hundred and fifty thousand pounds in nintendo stocks i then flipped it way higher with silver and gold buys and silent partner in a huge canabis weed grow
i dont need school im loaded and my house is payed for wink wink
……. Riiiiiight.
Don’t be looking for fights,jellybean(not offending you,just sayin’)
FIRST YEAH BABY YEAH EAT IT!
first here. i wished u died in Newtown with those kids
Careful bro making fun of such thing HA karma is a b!tch remember that :P
you are dick
Ladies and Gentlemen, the hardcore gamer.
Apparently.
Sickr is it true that SEGA licensed Sonic Porn?
Yes it is! just google it! :)
Oh gee, wonder if you watched a particular new gaming episode today, about, maybe Sonic 06.
What?! Seriously?
At least we get a port. Yeah.
C’mon South Park. Bring SoT to the Wii U or Wii.
No harm, No foul I guess.
More games for you E-shop junkies. Confused at why this games is even given space lol.
Because people like indie games maybe?
Generally speaking, indie/eShop games actually have more originality and innovation than every retail game.
True i once just bought for 2 years straight on xbla whit out having to get 1 from retail.
Thanks everyone, e-shop and Wii-ware have some of the greatest games. Virtual console also has classics, Mickey mania anyone ?
Can’t exactly put anything new or “wacky” in this game, because it’s on all systems, they won’t just say “here’s Cave Story, enjoy” to everyone else, and “woaaah, wassup guys, here’s Super Cave Story, check out all this exclusive features!” To WiiU owners.
I prefer this aproach it gives us game whit out so much excuses.
Same.
I’d prefer to have it on the WiiU just because of Miiverse, and 10% points back with online purchases ect, but i don’t mind it being the same game as on other consoles, we’ll get creative ideas from other games.
Why not? I don’t see what the problem would be
Because it costs money, and could mess with the core game design
this is a joke, maybe they don’t play rayman legends. if rayman legends can play on 1080p 60 fps native, then this game can do also. so if this game is not better then the other console’s, then is the problem the developers!!
Or the fact Ubisoft is a freaking Giant compared to Double fine and has a lot more money to spend?
Didn’t they fund this on pretty much just a Kickstarter?
I know they funded something through that. Not sure if it was this though.
It was another this 1 is funded by sega.
All developers are holding back. Because they don’t want to put by far the best most content rich games on wiiu so it’s not unfair to ps3 and 360 gamers. Like fifa on wiiu , the graphics are BETTER on wiiu , the Grass and crown look crazy on the demo and I have the game on 360. Looks blatently better on wiiu. But they left out features on the wiiu version and added in some rather questionable ones.
If it had everything , people would get jealous…
I’m not sure this argument makes any sense. Why would developers deliberately withhold awesome content? I really don’t think they care about people getting “jealous.” For years content was excluded from Wii versions of multiplat games, no developers seemed to care about jealousy then.
Stupid comparison is stupid.
Rayman Legends was built for WiiU, thats why it looks amazing. The Cave is multiplatform so of course they arent going to try out do one from another.
No prob, just glad we get the game in the first place!! Ya get what ya get and ya don’t get upset!
Anyone update there youtube app yet?
yes i have update youtube app. for me it works great
Playing Batman Arkham asylum on my Gamepad as my bro watches THE BIG BANG THEORY.
* Arkham city I meant *
Every Nintendo fan should buy batman Arkham city it’s awesome :).
Please give me your honest opinion. I want to buy the game. But I don’t want it if the framerate is shit. I know the wiiu is the most powerfull console out with the best GPU. But a shitty port on a console designed with low power consumption in mind is a shitty port on a console with low power consumption in mind…
How is it ?
Assasins creed 3 got a worst frame ratea than batman.
Assassins Creed 3 is bad on all systems though -.-
Assassins creed 3 is fine. I have it :) .It runs perfectly. About the same as ps3 and 360. 25-45FPS …
Assassins creed for the majority runs PERFECTLY. But every now and again gets a bit stuttery when your in cities. It seems a bit moody.
But the same thing happens on Ps3 and 360 :S
It is a great game, especially since you will get all DLC for free, all DLC :). The play on the Wii U game pad is seamless and beautiful. Frame rate issues are only at some very few points, only in a few FMV the videos were probably not patched by the porters. These I do know can be fixed by simple patches from WD game studios. They game is wonderful and cheap :).
according to FANBOYS a tri core cpu with only 1 execution unit per core and a half clock speed sram 1mb catch is better than a
tri core out of order 2012 released cpu with over 15 execution units and 3mb edram custom catch at full cpu speed plus a hd lpcm dedicated dsp sound processor and a ARM co cpu
i fail to see how 2 cpus and a dsp is weaker than a single cpu inline with a tiny catch memory IDIOCY IS IDIOCY THATS SIMPLE FACT
the wiiu cpu has 12 x more catch than wii and 3 x more catch than x360 and 6 x more catch than ps3
even if we include the ps3s spu local ram 256k each into ps3s catch it still only comes to a total of 2.5mb vs wius 3mb of pure high bandwidth edram
wiiu cpu cores can compress data at 4to1 and 2to1 also totally missing from ps3 and x360 so a average of 2to1 plus data compression is capable on wiiu making ram and catch and bandwidth and disc loading seem far far more powerful
at 4to1 compression wiiu cpu catch becomes 12mb I REST MY CASE
