Here is a video  of the 360 version vs PC maxc settings http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/need-for-speed-most-wanted-pc-vs-xbox-360-video, the basically look almost look exactly the same, so i will wait for the DF comparison, cause this comparison is blurry and is not even from the same time of day.


Yeah, DF comparison should be interesting to see - that link you provided shows a LOT less difference between PC and 360 versions than those shots between WiiU and 360...which is very strange, to say at least.

An interesting note, Criterion said the WiiU version would be the 'best looking version of the game by far', they didn't just say 'best looking console version'. Maybe they were able to tweak it to look even better than the PC version? That would be interesting considring how 'weak' the GPU is supposed to be. I know Nintedo has developed a custom API based on OpenGL for their GPU , maybe that is the difference between the early ports and this - using the custom API vs standard OpenGL on the early ports (standard OpenGL can run on the WiiU, but much less efficiently than the custom Nintendo API).

Oh boy....you really believe that? Sorry, but...

I'm not saying it could be technically better than the PC version, but it's possibly it could look 'prettier' if they were able to tweak/improve the look of the lighting effects and spend some extra time on the overall look. I'm certainly not saying the GPU is more powerful than a good PC card, it's certainly not. On the other hand, if the PC version was a quick port from the 360 version with some higher res textures, it's possible it could look better on the WiiU if they spent more time on lighting and the overall look for this particular version. I wasn't terribly impressed with the PC version, I really hated the blur effect in particular. As it's been said, there's not a massive visual difference between the PC version and the 360 version to begin with.
