The Zelda Wii U tech demo certainly looks next gen to me.

What is next gen in Zelda Wii U Demo?

1080p? no.
60fps? no.
Stable framerate? no.
No low textures? no.

Sorry but what showed in Zelda Wii U Demo is not even on part with the king graphics for PS3/360.

Yes... still a bit early but the Zelda Wii U Demo is THIS GEN for sure.

Can you source me to where all of these were confirmed? Well of course excepting the "Stable framerate", that is a subjective analysis unless we have numbers to compare. From what I've seen it ran smoothly though, and I didn't notice any significant framerate changes to qualify it as "unstable".

And I forget... No AA too.

The demo runs in 720p, you can see pausing the video or looking at screens released from Nintendo that is upscaled to 1080p... their native resolution is 720p... there are no AA... runs in 30fps with some framedrop (at least the framedrop could be the streaming video I saw)... the textures are low but Nintendo could be just worked more on Link and boss and left the environment.

The only thing that looks good is the lighting from may sources... but that's not next gen too.

That's my impression... and the tech details (720p, no AA, 30fps) you can google it... there a lot of sources.

I didn't ask you to restate what you said before with more words, I asked 'how do you come to these conclusions?'

How can you tell whether something is upscaled or not by looking at  low quality off-screen videos and equally low quality screens? Is there a technique that I can use?

How can you tell whether or not it is running at 30 fps, and where in the video do you notice a significant change in framerate that can be described as unstable?

As for the sources, all I've seen were rumors. None of them are concrete, but please lead me to the ones you use so that I can be on the same equal grounding.
