"01net also claims to know some of the technical specifications of the new console (translation from Develop): "CPU is custom IBM PowerPC with three cores, GPU should be an ATI from the R700 family, with a shader unit at version 4.1. RAM should be at least 512 MB."" :?

If that's true, then I am sorely disappointed. It sounds horribly underpowered and it hasn't even been released. I hope these specs are bogus. The controller looks very 'faddy', and the only pertinent information needed at this time besides specs is whether or not Nintendo plans to release physical Media for the system or not. Hopefully with news of this new system, the price on Wiis will drop dramatically and I can finally buy a b/u unit.

And by then the game will have already been patched and I'll have put around 200 hours into it. I can live with a few bugs to get my Morrowind fix. Oblivion was the first Bethesda game released on the Xbox 360, and it was more stable than every other game that followed using that engine. I think they'll do a decent job on this one, and the game looks too incredible to wait another year. I'll be there day 1.

At least this game's not being done by Obsidian. After the shit job they did with Fallout: New Vegas, they should never be allowed near Bethesda's properties again.

Fair enough. Go ahead and spend $60, and then spend $30 on each EXP if it suits you. I'll spend $30-40 and get it all at once and have the least troublesome experience. To each their own. I've got enough games to keep me busy and content with being 2 years behind the current curve which is why I always pay $20-30 for current gen games including PC titles.

The Console versions of this will cry, and most likely neither of them will support Locked V-Sync. Enjoy your Tears. :sweat:

FONV is leaps and bounds better than 3.Obsidian is comprised of members from Black Isle Studios who made the first 2 FO games.I had very little problems with NV and the few bugs I had were worth it, because the game was much better than 3.

Sonic 3 was better than Sonic 2.

I work on a PC all day and do Sega-16 stuff on it. The last thing I want to do is play my games on it too. That means sacrificing all the goodies the PC version gets, but them's the breaks. I also don't want to wait a year or two for this game to go down in price before I play it, but some do. Chances are I'll do like I did with Oblivion and FO3 and get the GOTY editions when they come out and play them again. :)

FNV was a buggy mess. The game locked up repeatedly, which is inexcusible, considering that it uses a 4 year-old engine and the same assets as FO3. It felt more to me like a really big expansion pack than a full game.

It also really didn't do anything more for the Fallout mythos than 3 did, despite having former BIS members. I liked the story, but it just wasn't as engaging. Las Vegas < Washington DC. The DLC has been leagues behind 3's so far as well. It's taken much longer to come out, and the 2 out there aren't close to the size 3's were. Hopefully there will be more coming.

Saw the Nintendo Press conference I don't know about that controller for Wii U...going to interesting

This thing is seriously going to be called the "Wii U"? LAWL.

I'm hoping that 3rd parties really are on board this time. The typical Nintendo recycling doesn't impress me, and I hope we get real 3rd parties IP this time, and not watered down ports or casual bullshit.

There are a multitude of properly executed games on current gen consoles that have all the bells and whistles of your typical DX9 PC game including major Post Processing fx like locked V-Sync and MSAA. If you want to support a piece of software that A. will most likely be completely bug ridden for the first 9-12 months, and B. is missing the most basic of all "current gen" type PP fx i.e. Locked V-Sync, then go right ahead. Not to mention by the time you're done paying close to $200 or more for the original game + EXPs, it's a win/win for the Publisher i.e. Bethesda.

Bethesdas' track record on Consoles is weak to put it mildly. FO3 is a perfect example, including FV. The 360 gets MSAA but is screwed by having Variable V-Sync while the PS3 gets locked v-sync but no AA. Take your pick. Bethesda will find a way to fumble both Console releases, mark my words. But if that's worth $60 to you, then by all means enjoy your different strokes. In regard to Bethesda and their inability to publish proper work for these poor old computers, the same can be said for the Console versions of Rage and Doom IV.

I'm assuming you play on a console then.I encountered barely any bugs or crashes on the PC, the problem lies on the console versions.NV is also a longer game than 3, but I agree with you about the DLC, but more is on the way.

Ok, Aliens: Colonial Marines is totally going to kick ass with the screen built into the controller if they utilize it purely for the radar.

Other than that? I don't really know :/

This new controller looks more gimmicky than the 32x. But when you make an extremely interesting sounding example like that ^ ;) :D I'm all ears. That would be neat.
