I'm hate comparisons of the Wii U against Xbox 360 and PS3, the Wii U is a newer system so it's obviously going to be better even if it isn't current cutting edge tech. People make these comparisons because they can't compare the Wii U with the Xbox3 and PS4, as they haven't got any screenshots or specs to compare with. Just stop these Wii U and xbox 360/PS3 comparisons, people make them because they like to be hard on the Wii U.

Yea as long as the Wii U is in constant comparison to the PS360, the system is going to have a tremendous hill to climb. Nintendo et al should be convincing wii owners why they need to get a Wii U, not touting having the best graphics for current gen games. That was Reggie's biggest mistake on CNN, because people will hold him to it.

Yeap but if you look at the overall context all seventh gen games have some  old gen graphics moments... so that's what make the seventh gen.

The Wii U on the other hand just showed seventh gen graphics for now... the irony it is supose to be a eighth gen graphics.

If you said me the Wii U is a seventh gen machine then I have to say the graphics of the Wii U are awesome for the first games... I just expected more form Wii U.

people did the same with xbox and ps 2 to 360. it's pretty standard with a new gen. ign as example:

"As Neversoft has said since the beginning, Gun is exactly the same on all systems -- the content is the same, while the graphics are individually adjusted to each system. The improvements are slight but noticeable. Unlike a few other multiplatform games on Xbox 360 this fall, Gun was up-scaled to the system, rather than created on Xbox 360 and downscaled to the other systems. Thus, comparing Gun side-by-side with the Xbox, you'll see slightly higher resolutions on Xbox 360, and better and more geometry. What this means is simply that the high polygon count characters, buildings, creatures, and landscapes all retain a smoother, more realistic look. The surfaces are more rounded, smoother, and organic.

Let's take Ned Colton's face for instance. That's one hell of a mug, and it looks a little like Kris Kristofferson, with a giant mane of hair and a wild overgrown beard. His face is more defined, chiseled, and provides more surface area, creating more realism. You'll also see bump and normal mapping, which works for and against Gun. On the plus side, there is greater texture work on the faces. You'll see vertices, bumps, indents, even craters. On the negative side, somewhat like Halo 2, the Normal Mapping sometimes looks out of place, slightly shifted to one side. This unfortunate side effect ruins the whole believability factor, and makes the characters look more like polygonal puppets than believable characters. The Xbox 360 version also delivers a smoother framerate and longer draw distances."

ok i have no pic from ign now but still, if they reviewd the 360 version of a game also available for ps2/360 they talked about the differences.

No Microsodt and Sony defined the seventh generation graphics along these six years ... so the seventh generation graphics are defided by the quality of the HD consoles... now the eighth generation graphics have to show better graphics.

they look the same, but is misleading
the architecture of the U is leading towards GPU intensive games, while all these games are CPU based
i would say that it is pretty impressive that a so different architecture holds up so well
in the future where the U gets its games built up to take advantage of the system we will see amazing stuff

ohh it's you ethomaz lol, when you say something there is not really anything people can argue, you are always a truth carrier or not? so by your logic  MS and Sony failed to deliver true seventh gen graphics, now i see...

Terribly glitch filled game on any platform, not worth purchasing.

To think I used to love AC.

That's a clown question, bro.

Aside from slight color variations, I see zero *relevant* differences between these titles. No one who's playing the game is going to notice any of these, unless the games look substantially different in motion.

clearly the wii u version is significantly better, as it runs on the same system as the new zelda. Thats what I call Future Proof (TM).
