That Zelda HD did look nice, but again I want to see real gameplay and not a scene of a trailer. And even if this trailer and the final product are exactly the identical, I don't think it's looking better than God of War 3 and Uncharted 2.


The side of me fearing the worst thinks like you do... I really hope we are surprised.

I must respectfully disagree with you guys.  For example, take GOW3; the very first level specifically.  There are a couple of moments where the camera zooms in real close on Kratos, such as when he opens the door before fighting the Centaur or when he fits between the narrow rock space on his way to Gaia's heart.  These moments look phenominally smooth looking and beautiful; not a hint of shimmering or graphical flaws.  But the majority of the game where the camera is zoomed out and the entire background is visible, you can see a lot of flaws in the smoothness, with considerable shimmering, etc because the graphics are so detailed.

If you take a look at the Zelda demo in the following link, you notice that it features that previously mentioned smoothness with no slowdown, shimmering, or any graphical flaws whatsoever in the entire video... and prettier visuals to boot, IMO.  In a still picture, one may not see a big difference between GOW3 or U2 and Zelda HD, but in motion it becomes apparent to me.

Now this is just a demo, but if this is truly indicative of what we'll see on screen during an actual game, I agree with Viper and Happy Squirrel that there is indeed a level of improvement with the Wii U.
