Yes I brought up the CPU deficiency to highlight who it's competition seems to be...and Trine 2 :

The improvements there are barely noticable, backing my point that the Wii U doesnt have a single next-gen looking game. And let's be honest, Uncharted 3/Gears 3 look much better than Trine 2 on the Wii U making any improvements made to the game completely redundant...The problem I personally have with the Wii U is that if it this many months into it's life and we've yet to see a single next-gen game on it (think Shadow Fall), then does it really have the power to keep up with the PS4/nextbox? In terms of performance it seems to be more of a GC for the 7th gen but very, very late to the party.

Gears 3 / Uncharted 3 run on 7th gen systems while the developers of Trine 2 say the Director's Cut cannot.

You said: Not a single Wii U game shows an improvement in the slightest. 

I presented a game that shows improvement, and can't be achieved on PS3/360, and you backpedal and move the goalposts to "well, I can't see a difference."

The reason we don't see more impressive Wii U games is simple; not a single technically competent developer had sat down and made a ground-up Wii U game that's  built to be graphically intensive. Of course there's no games that look blatantly, obviously post-PS360, because nobody has even tried to make one yet.

Almost no system has any games that show its full power only 4 months into their lifespan. It took the Wii almost a year to get a game that looked post-Gamecube, and two more years after that for its most advanced games to start emerging.


But what improvements does it show? Look at the video...they look identical...and as I said existing games look better than trine 2 as it is...But if you really want I will say Trine 2 shows an incredibly minor improvement over the 360 & PS3, but that really doesn't change the crux of my argument that we've yet to see any game that actually looks next-gen from the Wii U. 

Erm, Shadow Fall? Just sayin'. We haven't even had any demos of next-gen games for the Wii U yet. So are you saying the Wii U would have to reach it's full potential to surpass the games we already see?
