It's a lighter color gamma pattern you are seeing which will give off fewer colors in the spectrum because the lower color spectrum isn't represented.

 

I only saw one instance that looked like a missing shadow but the scenes were not identical so it's not prudent to law that claim until we get something more specific showing that lack of shadows.  Especially given that shadows were equal in presence in every other coamprison shot.

It's not lighter color gamma... I checked the google and voilá...

"However, there is some unwelcome news - specifically that the HDMI output is locked to limited-range RGB only, with footage from all games we've captured thus far revealing absolutely no information in the 0-16 or 235-255 areas. Many digital displays - PC monitors in particular - don't operate correctly with limited-range RGB, giving washed out colours principally defined by blacks being more grey-like in nature. This is something Nintendo really needs to address as a matter of urgency - it's the most basic of omissions, something that Sony and Microsoft resolved to everyone's satisfaction many, many years ago."

Limited colors confirmed... that's explain the missing colors in all games comparison I saw until now.


Interesting read.

Did you do the same comparission on COD images? From the video comparissions I seen, the WiiU looked like it was more colourful compared to PS3 which looked more greyish, however  don't know if that was jsut the way the display was setup or not.

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).

haha I LoLed!!!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

How hard is it to keep the bloody contrast and gamma consistent across all systems? That pisses me off so much. Xbox 360 and PS3 versions have crushed blacks, Wii U version is slightly washed out. Overall, I prefer the look of the Wii U version though.

Especially in this shot:

Yeah, I think this says it all! The washed out version on Wii U makes it easier to see dark areas...

Most of Wii U games have bad framerate comparing to PS3/360, i assume its the same here



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

The only significant difference here is the level of contrast, with the 360 version being slightly overdone in my opinion (crushed blacks mostly) and the Wii U version a touched too washed out. This results in the 360 version being more visually appealing in some shots and the Wii U in others.

Differences in textures, resolution etc. appears to be negligible and I doubt whether they would be noticeable during gameplay (if you are actually playing the game and not just looking at the graphics), leaving performance as the only parameter that might actually separate the two.

Looks pretty fucking similar to me.

A bit off topic, but I am of the opinion that AC has some of the worse graphics out there. Not necessarily from a technical standpoint (I have no idea about that), I just find them fugly. And I don't see how this is a new engine.

The roughness is more striking now that I got a projector and enjoy a 70 inch image.

True. 

Ubisoft has been lying about AnvilNext being a new engine since AC3 was announced. It has improvements in character animations ,but that's all.

360 has the contrast turned up to full whack. I hate it when games do that. The wiiU looks washed out. I can tell by the images though that the Wii-U has superior draw distance.

The PS3 version of AC3 is the superior version for visuals and performance. Who would have thought?

COD looks better on the Wii U though



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st
