I'd be curious to know if UE4 won't support Wii U because it isn't fast enough or because of it's vastly different CPU/GPU architecture isn't worth the effort.

At this point we aren't even sure if PS4/Nextbox will support it either with the specs Epic are asking for.

Summer my ass, it's noon and only 76 in NC. Hardly what I'd call beach weather.

No, I'm pretty sure that Diablo 3 got away with it because it's Diablo 3.

No that's incredibly far off, check out Wikipedia. It breaks down like this.

Total assets

Microsoft $108.7 Billion

Sony $167.3 Billion

Nintendo $20.1 Billion

True, but that's assuming that this becomes a standard practice. Diablo 3 got away with it because it's Diablo 3. Very few other brands hold such strength in the PC market. Ubisoft tried it with multiple brands and utterly failed, causing them to eventually revoke the online-only requirement. I'd be surprised if any non-Blizzard game could get away with the same DRM scheme.

You say "native 1080p console" like that's supposed to mean something.

You obviously don't care about True HD gaming. So each to their own.

Clearly you're using some definition of "pretty obvious" that most people are not familiar with.

You might be surprised but there are a lot of people that are unaware that the Wii U is a native 1080p console.

its pretty obvious Wii U is a 1080p console while Xbox 360 and PS3 has 99% 720p games.

Well, Valve isn't a particularly litigious company, but has used lawsuits to protect its names in the past like when they recently sued Blizzard for violating the DOTA trademark. This is a slightly different kettle of fish, more like when Bethesda went after Mojang for Scrolls. It remains to be seen if Valve feels this site goes too far: exactly same business model, URL only 2 letters different, & similar site layout. These guys are skirting awfully close to the line.

Rather glad I didn't pick up Confrontation at $40, and now that it's already half off, I think I'll wait a bit...

For some reason this new ShootMania trailer reminds me a lot of Unreal...

I heard Epic didn't really make Unreal, but it was a Canadian company called DigitalExtremes?

Buyer beware on Annoy 2070: unrevocable activations (only 3) and changing out a video card or adding memory requires re-activation.

I would have bought it myself if it were not for that. With DRM like that it's barely worth 5 bucks.

Just for the record Bluebyte patched the DRM to prevent video card\RAM changes consuming an activation. The activations reset after 30 days and apparently they'll give you a new activation if you contact UBI directly, but from what I've read they ask for a scanned barcode and proof of purchase. Which is less than Adobe asks for when I run out of activations for Photoshop. Adobe simply takes my word for it, and this is over online IM support. About as impersonal as it gets. Photoshop also costs about 10x what Anno costs.

The thread pretty much reflects my feelings. I don't care if it's on Origins as long as they don't get trapped by EA with some shady contract. As long as Origins is one of the various distributors for the game and not the only distributor I don't care. But it's EA we're talking about and more than likely there will be an awful catch since that is EA's nature.

EDIT: For information purposes, EA's shares are exactly at $14 per share. That's 1998 level of stock price.

And the most entertaining part is watching how hard all the suits try to convince themselves that this is "it".

It sure wasn't "it" almost 30 years ago, it sure isn't now. Though as much as they try, someone will try to warp it into some twisted warped logic that yes, "it" is.
