Question I have not seen talked about much: will Wii U scale original Wii games to HD level?

Nope. Nintendo/Reggie stated quite a while back that Wii games will not be altered in any way on Wii U in order to keep full backward compatibility.

Edge, just curious, why did you go with a sound card as opposed to the onboard one?

Unless they're using crappy PC speakers or headphones, there's no doubt that the rabid hoards of people that say onboard sound is as good as dedicated sound are either full of shit or deaf.

So true!

I'll be playing the Wii U tomorrow in LA. I'm kind of hyped. I plan to record footage of the event.

Cool, take lots of notes and present us with your full report.

It sure is!   I can't believe one of the Sony PR guys is calling it  sexier and sleeker, what is he looking at?

I like it better than the first slim model, it has a nice shiny top. I prefer the huge original, the larget size makes it look like a more solid piece of tech. Shame they utterly removed PS2 backwards compat for Europe, that and the high price killed my purchase and sent me back to MS.

Capcoms TGS booth is sick

Where is Homer?

Just like Mario & Sonic at the Olympics this game will officially sell like hotcakes thanks to a non-Sega character.

Newegg is fuckin' fast...I just ordered the remaining pieces to my new PC yesterday, and they are out for delivery.

I AM BUILDING A NEW PC TONIGHT!!!

So if you guys don't see me on later, that's why. I will be building and tweaking and going apeshit.

Before I go, my Jill Valentine PIC OF THE DAY:

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes has many open worlds

During a special stage event at the Tokyo Game Show today, Kojima Productions shared new details on Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.


Here’s the breakdown:

• Loading is always done in the background, so it’s basically an open world where loading screens do not exist.
• The exception to this is when you travel by helicopter—there a loading screen will be inserted.
• There will be many Grand Theft Auto-style open worlds, and these are connected by helicopter.
• The video that has been released is of the prologue stage, so it’s a small open world. There are bigger ones.
• The game has a concept of time, so it varies from morning to afternoon, and then to night in real time. [This could mean "game time," I'm not sure.]
• Before using the FOX Engine on other titles going forward, they want to create the standard with open worlds.
