bold2: The visuals from MK8 are far from anything ps360 could dream to achieve. huge detailed scenarios, high poly count and texture resolution. I supose a very downgraded and optimized version at 540p and 30fps would run on ps360. But as it is, no way they'd run.

Says the guy who said FF15 would run easily on the WiiU :P. I was pretty clear after the statement you bolded that the PS3 and 360 wouldn't achieve the same performance, but that the visuals themselves were nothing not achievable on them. 30fps instead of 60fps would be pretty doable. There are no demanding textures, the lighting is baked, the polygon count is mid ranged, the effects are simple cartoon renderings and it's appears to be using the same basic edge detection AA of SM3DW. None of that makes it demanding at all, it's all current gen tech.

It's still a great looking game, but that can almost entirely be credited to Nintendo's artistic skill. Graphically the WiiU is capable of plenty more, as very little of what is being shown here is technically significant.

In the simplest terms, it's a 7th gen game running at 8th gen performance levels.

So let's get this straight, the console that more often than not struggles to achieve parity in multiplats with the 360/PS3 could at the same time render a PS4/X1 game with "slight downgrades" and has an exclusive that would "explode" the PS3/360 if they ever tried to render it with close to the graphics/performance it has on Wii U?

I have 2 serious questions for you:

1. Do you have any sort of knowledge in the field of game development and/or computer technology?

2. Have you ever played a 360/PS3 or even Wii U game?

I disagree, it can achieved very well in 7th Gen but your point of 540p and 30FPs too much. Look at the Sony Racing transformed http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-sonic-all-star-racing-transformed-face-off and you can see PS3/Xbox 360 is very close to Wii U. So, its possible for PS3 to achive easliy considering the Last of US visuals and its optimizations for PS3 just like MK8 has for Wii U right now. If Wii U could have achieved better in Sony racing transformed compard to PS3/Xbox360 in big margin then i would have agreed that its not possibe for PS3/Xbox360 this kind of visuals but it did not perform any better than 7th gen for the same kind of racing game like MK8.

bold: Last of US may be an example of ps3 power, but doesn't compare to the level of MK 8.

bold 2: like the ps2 ports that ran worse on x360? and what difference does it make when MK 8 is quite superior anyway?

the bolded sums up that you have no idea what you're talking about. it was pointed multiple times that by that logic, the x360 is weaker than a ps2.

so let's get this straight, the console with exclusives that far surpass anything from ps360 (Wii U) can render ps4/xone games with slight downgrades.

Now let's end this derailment.

I see zero is at the top of his game today. Kart does look nice though.

OMG Zero. Please stop. FFXV cannot run easily on Wii U. Just accept.

Agree, he's a troll. I think there could be one way Wii U could run FF15, and that is if they kept all PS3 assets from when it was Versus XIII, plus making low res versions of the textures and models of the ones they're making after moving the project to next gen. Maybe I'm wrong though and the game has gotten some new unknown demands impossible pn the Wii U...

Name 1 game on 360 that looked and performed worse than its PS2 counterpart, especially try to find 1 that released a year after the 360 launch.

Again, stop dodging and answer my questions.

I played 360, PS3 and Wii U exclusive games and no the Wii U games do not "far surpass" 360 or PS3 games.
