| Soundwave said: Zelda looked nice but on a technical level there's no way it can go toe to toe with a game on the PS4 hardware like Horizon which is really pushing that hardware; there's a generation gap between the Wii U and PS4, it's not a fair comparison. Which game you have more fun with is entirely up to you. There are cases where I have more fun playing an NES game than a modern amazing graphics title. |
To be fair, in your last statement, you're talking about two different things. I too, tend to have more fun with many old NES/SNES titels than I do the vast majority of modern games, simply because those games were more about gameplay, and tend to be more fun to actually play, more replay value.
As far as Wii U being a "generation behind", I don't think so. It's a moot point by now, but while it is absolutely weaker hardware, there are still games on Wii U comparable to anything I've thus far seen on PS4/Xbox. The game between Wii U and PS4 is significantly smaller than Wii and PS3.
Having said that, it's all about what they DO with the game, and the game world. Who knows what Horizon will turn out like. Hopefully good. But so far, unless there's some super secret dumb gimmick they haven't revealed yet, this Zelda game sounds like it might yet actually live up to even half of it's overall potential, and that's good news. I'm still pissed/bitter that it's being delayed just to be ported to NX, as this SHOULD be the last big "hurrah" title Wii U gets, holiday 2016. But I still hope it turns out really good.
