I think it's impossible that wii u's gpu only has 400-450 gigaflops, it simply doesn't match the games it already has. making a port 720p and (if necessary) some downgrades that only pixel counters notice, any game will run on wii u.

Oh only the DEMO is running at lower than 1080p resolutions so far.

Making something like Uncharted 4 run on Wii U would take more than a cut to 720p and changes that "only pixel counters would notice."

Wii U has some really awesome looking games, but nothing that looks like a 720p match for PS4/Xbone's best.

Why exactly? uncharted 4's REAL graphics footage seemed pretty standard ps4 level, it falls on the same category as other games (totally portable).

Here's Uncharted 4 in 720p:

Here's Zelda U and Xenoblade X in 720p.

Dat Zelda pic. Holy blurry compression, Batman! XD

As good as Zelda and XCX look, Uncharted 4 has significantly more sophisticated textures and shaders.

To be honest though XCX and Zelda hold up OK (blurry image quality of the Zelda pic notwithstanding).

It's also why I don't think Nintendo will go too crazy hardware wise with their next console. If the next portable can handle Wii U graphics while the console "brother" device to that is 2x-3x the handheld ... man Nintendo is going to have some very nice looking games even if they don't match the PS4 on raw horsepower.

Maybe I'm crazy but I think Final Fantasy XV looks better than Uncharted 4.

The zelda image was just the first one at 720p I could find. And use real time graphics for uncharted please (preferably a screenshot of someone controlling drake and making him face the camera).

From what we got so far, yes, FF 15 looks better than uncharted 4.

Nintendo's next portable can't handle wii u's graphics, that's too much for our time. One third of that horsepower is enough, enabling ps360 level of graphics at 720p 60fps if it has 0.75-1gb of ram and overal optimized specs.

It's also not probable that the next home console will only match the ps4. 3x+ the ps4 horsepower is more probable.

Unfortuntely there are very few good quality gameplay captures of UC4 so far. Allow me to use a different game then, compared with its closest current rival on Wii U.

What game is that? And looks like a terrible pic comparison. try videos.

Uncharted 4 doesn't look that impressive. FFXV on the other hand looks very impressive.
