Is the graphic leap to 8th gen as noticeable as previous leaps?

From Wii to Wii U, the jump is bigger then last gen. Wii games look slightly better then Gamecube Games, and Wii U games, so far, comparable to PS4 games.

Read your whole post but that completely ruins everything else you have to say. Nothing on Wii U is even comparable to Knack.

vs.

Really? Don't be biased, don't ignore the Wii U graphically.

I think most will agree Wii U games like X look better then we expected and PS4 games look worse then we expected. The difference from Wii U and PS4 is nowhere nearly as big as previous gens. Heck the X-Box to PS2 difference is bigger then this.

Since you called me biased I feel the need to bring up the fact I own a Wii U.

Moving on, look at knack's particle effects and volumetric fire. Look at its lighting, high resolution textures, and super high polygon count. We have very little gameplay of it but that's still enough to evaluate it on a technical level. Meanwhile X really only has scale going for it. It looks exactly like what we expect from the Wii U.

I didn't say that you are biased, I said don't be biased. Look at the above images and honestly tell me that one looks noticably better then the other. Both look similar, if I didn't know they were exclusives on different platforms I would think they were releasing for the same platform, or one with similar specs.

Yes knack has great lighting and high resolution textures, but does X not have that? I think the lighting in X is better. Knack has a super high polygon count, but look at the draw distance. You can see for literally kilometers in X, but Knack never showed any scenes with more then a couple hundred meters of depth.

X looks like a game not possible on the 360/PS3, and most people expected Wii U to be only a bit better then PS3/360. X showed us all wrong, and I bet the next Metroid and Zelda will furthur nail this fact in.

0_0 Whaaaaa?

 

I respect your opinion, but to compare anything the Wii U has done so far to the little we've seen of the PS4 (even at early stages) is a bit much. PS3 I agree with, PS4 .. no way man. So far the Wii U looks distinctly current gen and I don't see how anybody could compare its games to next gen stuff.

See Above. I can't see any PS3/360 games running X. Most high end 360 games have serious fade in problems, and objects at a distance randomly appear when you get close enough. Never do we see moving interactive object over 1 km away unless they are set story sequences (something which happens identically every time you play the chapter). Some PS3 games, like God of War, look something like X, but the lighting and texture just don't match up. X looks noticably better and distinctively next gen.
