Forums - Gaming Discussion - Dev says his game The Swapper's Wii U version visuals are “much closer to the PS4 version than the PS3"

Curve Studios made it known on Twitter today that The Swapper is heading to Wii U. We’ve since learned a bit more about the game, including how it stacks up to some of the other versions.

 

Regarding The Swapper’s graphics and frame rate on Wii U, Curve said the following:


 

Kotaku also has a small write up about The Swapper. According to the site, Curve redid the controls for the GamePad so that the game now includes a touch-only mode and control-stick options. Kotaku also states that the Wii U version is “better looking than the upcoming PS3 version, preserving the PC original’s depth of field.”

 

Finally, Curve mentioned earlier today that The Swapper will be hitting Wii U later this year. Kotaku has the title pinned down for a November release.

Some of you guys will say this doesn't mean much, but is this one of the first times a dev has said something like this?

Well I guess that is to be expected one is less than two years old the other is just under 8 years old.



Send a Friend Request On PSN :P

Wow so not only Xbone is closing the gap but now also Wii U...

PS4 will become the weakest next gen console by Christmas



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

It's an indie side scroller
mighty good one, true. But it should look the same as ps4, not "closer".



Wii U is NOT underpowered......it only is very slighly but some of the BEST visuals on the platform.

Is this supposed to be surprising or something?

You missed the point...obviously the Wii U graphics are better than the PS3 version of the game. What he is saying is that not only are they better than the PS3 version, they are in fact closer to PS4 version than the PS3 version.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

It's not exactly a graphically intensive game to begin with, but okay.



Game looks fun as hell.

So, I guess this is good?



Bit Trip Runner 2 also had DoF and faster load times on the Wii U (compared to the PS3). I'm not sure if that's worth bragging about.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine
