@RazorDragon- If i am playing on a GameCube or even a Wii and a game has framerate issues, i can deal with that as i know i am playing on outdated hardware. However in this day and age, a game of Lego Citys calibur should be running smoothly on a console that is perceived to be more powerful than last gen tech. What annoys me more is the fact that Wii U is capable of much much more than a Lego game, so is this game another example of a "rush job"? |
Framerates are really not about power. PS3 promised us 120FPS, but, even so, announced PS4 games were designed to target 30FPS. In this case, though, the game probably wasn't really optimized to run on the Wii U, as Lego City doesn't look like a intensive GPU or CPU game.
|
open world games are usually CPU intensive.
NPCs are a big reason for that.
Also draw distance can be a problem.
|
you also forgot memory bandwidth slower, then 360/ps3, that can be a huge problem.
|
Not nearly as huge a problem as the PS3/360 being capped at less than 500MB of RAM. Memory is key in open world games.
Then there's the 360 having DVD9 discs and only 10MB of eDRAM, and he PS3's inferior GPU and problematic split RAM. Bottlenecks aren't a Wii U exclusive feature, every system has them.
|
you wanna be realistic, those those systems are 7 years old now, it should'nt have any of those bottle knecks. every system has them but i only to 2 consoles have bottle necks compared to last gen tech and that's wii and wiiu but i guess tablet controller is more important, then graphics, frame rate, pop up and jaggies.
|
The PS4 and Xbox 720 will have bottlenecks too. The weakest part of any system is its bottleneck, whether it's the NES or the PS4.

this is getting off topic so i pmed you.
