Every single thing you've seen from Wii U thus far, even Mario Kart 8, is just "first generation" Wii U software. No console puts forth it's best looking games in the first gen. 

Exactly.

Compare first gen 360/PS3 graphics:

To what they achieved later in life:

 

We haven't seen anywhere close to what Wii U can really do yet.


But for some reason I doubt it'll be getting much better than X.

It's a shame we don't have any good quality pics of X, just the compressed ones from the Direct. Looks so beautiful.

Though I agree that Wii U will not be pushed as hard as PS3/360 have been, I still think by the end of its lifespan we'll see better visuals than X.

Whats the point of this thread? We all know the graphical difference between Nintendo and everyone else will insanely huge, as always.


Except that this time around they literally aren't. If you want to talk pure graphics, the Wii U will be able to pull off pretty much every single graphical trick and effect that the other two systems can.

Ok, then where is Battlefield 4 with 64 players on 60FPS on WiiU? Where is Frostbite enginge? Where is Unreal Engine 4? Wheres Witcher 3? All of those games and engines dont exist on WiiU because of its massive hardware limitations. And if i compare the launch U games with PS4 launch games,,

The only area where Wii U could wind up lacking in certain cases, are things that involve tons of shit happening in a given game world at once, or advanced physics effects that might have to be scaled down a bit. It was a joke when it was originally stated, but the meme is now going to ring true, that in the next gen "graphics whores will become physics whores instead". As someone else in here mentioned, it is going to become all about the nuances.

If thats the only thing you think WiiU was lacking, then i dont wanna have this conversation with you...

Every single thing you've seen from Wii U thus far, even Mario Kart 8, is just "first generation" Wii U software. No console puts forth it's best looking games in the first gen. Give it a couple years, and you will see games on Wii U that will make you say "wow", no matter how jaded you are. And by the end of the gen, there will (gauranteed) be Wii U titles that will be counted among the best looking graphically of the entire console generation. Wii accomplished that being a much weaker SD console with several titles. Wii U will surely accomplish the same with much more modern hardware.

There are no Wii games among the best looking titels this gen, not even close. And i doubt we'd see a Wii U game among the best looking titles in 2018 or even 2017. Wii U is a buffed PS3 at best, and i doubt it gonne come anywhere close to being competitive later on during the next gen



Pointless. Coparing raw numbers in this day and age is pointless. The Wii U has design choices that arent reflected in raw power. Same with Xbox One. They are designed differently than PS4.

Kirby's Epic Yarn and Muramasa: The Demon Blade on Wii are two of the the best looking games of the 7th generation.



SD 2D cartoon style vs HD 3D realism LOL...

If the same mouse can be caught on PSP and even PS2, then...

Doesn't matter, beauty transcends hardware capability.

Those games are artistic. If when comparing graphics we factor in the flavor, then it's nothing but an opinion. Also the low resolution really hurts those games. Playing them in doplhin at 1080p makes them so much better. Beauty is shackled by hardware capability.

On the flip side, to ignore the flavor is to ignore the artistic value of video game graphics. There's a better argument in your favor beyond trying to seperate art and technology in a medium where both are extremely important: while there are some beautiful Wii games, the console can't realize most artistic visions as well as its competitors.
