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

MIND BLOWN

 

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.

Actually, I have no doubt that WiiU version looks better than PS360 - after all, it's enough to put high-res textures and it will look better.

"There's a switch in our build pipeline that says 'use PC textures' and we flipped that and that was all," Hamadi laughs. "I can take no credit for that, it was literally ten minutes' work... we are using PS3/360 geometry. It's just the textures we upgraded."

As for lighting - PC version has lot of seetings to play with, so not sure what seetings are used for PS360 versions, but in both DF video and screenshot comparison, although there is difference , it's nothing drastic like on those Wii vs 360 shots....hence my initial statement that I find them very stange. I did notice however from DF's PS360 Face-off shots that PS seems to have worse lighting than 360 and PC.

Anyway, I'm glad Ninty figured out they have to provide some incentive for 3rd parties to actually put extra effort into doing good ports for WiiU. Just wish that somewhat better hardware made that unnecessary in the first place...

Here is some full HD pics for comparison, it's not perfect, but people expecting it to look much better on wii u will be in for a rude surprise when DF does a comparison. you can view then in full HD by copy and past.
