| TheShape31 said: 'Which one is showing that it is suffering from a lack of processing power?' Suffer? No 2D games in the last 2 generations have suffered for a lack of graphical prowess. But honestly they could always look better in some way, and it would actually be nice to have a native 1080p NSMBU game. What you're essentially arguing is that games never need to look better. And people have made that same argument every generation. 'Diminishing returns', 'the human eye can't see any better', etc. I have no doubt that there will be many great-looking games on Wii U. But when the other two consoles come out and there is a marked difference in graphical quality and immersiveness, there will be new things to appreciate. There are always new things to appreciate from the newest round of more powerful consoles. And I'm not trying to say that the next PS or Xbox will have better games than Wii U, but technical advances yield new gameplay experiences. Your moot argument about graphics never having to get better is only being used to overshadow the fact that Wii U games don't look any better than PS3 and X360 games. And within the next year or so, they could look slightly better, too. But there's no plateau that gaming will hit where everything just stops. There will be 4KTVs, and with those advancements in technology will come immersive games we can't imagine. All of those advancements matter. For the moment, all of those 2.5D games will satisfy us. But in 2-3 those games will inevitably look behind the times, just as the games for Wii did. And once again, it will be Nintendo's older graphics and unique controller vs. Sony and MIcrosoft's more powerful systems. Every kind of game can look better, and every 6 years or so we're reminded that those screenshots we used to oggle (*hint*) now don't look so great. |
I got you happysquirrel, so much fail in this post it's not even funny.
1. "But when the other two consoles come out and there is a marked difference in graphical quality and immersiveness, there will be new things to appreciate."
When you can actually prove this, is when you will actually have an argument. It's hilarious seeing HD gamers claiming this and yet we have yet to see the Vita provide these amazing experiences that only powerful platforms can provide.
2. "overshadow the fact that Wii U games don't look any better than PS3 and X360 games."
Neither did the jump from Xbox to 360 games, see Gun for comparison and not Kameo lol.
3. "There will be 4KTVs, and with those advancements in technology will come immersive games we can't imagine."
In the next gen, yea right lol. The rumors said nothing about the games being in this resolution.
