Lol @this thread.
Wii u games looked awesome. Mario and Mario Katy characters looked like something from a Pixar movie.
Smash is very early and already on its way to achieving picaresque character models.
X and bayonetta were insane.
Basically the wii u looks nearly as powerful as x1 right now.
Ps4 trumps both in the power department and that was evident.
But wii u is right up there despot being cheaper and a year older.
The x1 graphics concerned me actually. Metal gear was a lot less impressive than I hoped. Titanfsll looks ok.
Ryse looked really good.
But nothing looked like the Division or anything.
I don't see how anyone can possibly come away anything but excited about how wii u games look when built specifically for wii u.
The games look gorgeous and truly next gen.
Great job Nintendo.
Now the third parties can take notice.
Quoted for truth.
Yeah the games look amazing now but what if they're already pushing it too it's limit? It's a scary thought that those awesome looking ps4 games are just launch games!
Those 'awesome looking' ps4 games are full of CGI cut scenes masquerading as gameplay. Sony has been using that trick since the PS2's reveal. Also, you're too quick to dismiss the awesomeness of X and Bayonetta 2, among others (WW HD, in 1080 60fps, at times looks more beautiful than any PS4 game). If those games don't look good enough for a $300 console, you're simply, absolutely insane.
It is releated!, because if the wii u had decent power, then other devs would make games for it, even port multiplatform games, porting games easily and quickly without spending a few years learning how to gain all the consoles power requires the destination console to be more powerful, much like when 360 games get ported to PC, the wii u is not underpowered compared to the 360, but is when you need to do direct ports quickly, devs had a few years to get to know the ps3 and 360 so they have no issues, The Wii does not have the luxury of time now, especially now the 2 powerhouses xbox one and ps4 are coming, the wii u is left behind! I am so disappointed and feel ROBBED!!!!
How can you feel robbed? You sound like you're 8 years old. There's no way you were the one who paid for the Wii U.
Because I would have gladly forked out an extra $100 on a system that can produce more visually impressive games. It also would have made things much easier in the systems life 3/4 years down the track when we are trying to get 3rd party ports over.
You're in the minority there, buddy. At $400 and with no Gamepad, the Wii U would have sold far fewer consoles. It wouldn't have had more third-party support, since those companies still would have played this 'wait and see' game. Worse, the first-year Wii U versions of multiplatformers still would have only looked on par with the PS360 versions, due to developer's time constraints and/or laziness (which is the reason they only looked on-par). Lower system sales = earlier that third-parties give up. You would not have been happier in that scenario.
I wouldn't trade the Gamepad for $100 worth of more RAM. The Gamepad makes the Wii U what it is. It's an amazingly useful interface, and the greatest controller of all time.
We know pretty much everything about its gameplay. You dont know anything.... Probably because you didnt play its predecessor.
Visual prowess doesnt scale linearly with the increase of the systems power, unfortunately, its quite the opposite.
Welcome to the law of diminishing returns.
I see a big difference between High and Low on Crysis 1, but Crysis 3 looks identical on either side. I'm not familiar with that series, could you elaborate what you mean to say with that example?
