The Zelda Wii U tech demo certainly looks next gen to me.


If you spent any amount of time with the Xbox360 or PS3 you'd know that the shown Zelda Wii U tech isn't doing anything that can't be done on either the Xbox360 or PS3.  Zelda Wii U only looks next gen compared to the Wii.  

While I sincerely doubt it will happen, I hope that Nintendo is hearing the dissent about the Wii U and how it's displeasing to hear that the system is going to be underpowered in the next gen the way the Wii was this generation.  And I hope Nintendo uses this final year to cram as much extra power into that thing as possible before it launches.

IGN's note on it is that the system is only 50% more powerful than the PS3, which means it's technological "leap" is but a tip-toe step six inches forward.  The Wii was a GameCube 1.5, the Wii U will be a PS3 1.5.  That's lame.

you guys seem so blind to me.  i have only seen the zelda tech demo through shitty youtube videos which i know NEVER does a game justice, and it still looks better.

I mean seriousyl look at the lighting.  someone in another thread showed a video of gow3 fighting a giant scorpion and saying they look the same.  It was pathetic.  beyond just the detail in everything being better just the LIGHTING was insane.  Put on sunglasses and wear them for an hour, then TAKE them off.  PS3/360 games look like they are wearing sunglasses the whole time.  the lighting in zelda made it seem like i finally took off my shades and can enjoy the world for its crisp clean everything.    its not even about which has more polygons or which has more realistic looking graphics, or has individual hairs, ect.  Just teh light going into the temple was spectacular.  seriously when i watch that video, like 90% of my attention is just oogling over how pretty the environment looks under that light.   i'm like getting annoyed sometimes when the monster and link get in the way of the background.
