i havent had time to change my sig i will do it later, and all i'm saying is wiiu ius simialer current gen interms of performance slighty better, and we have heard this from many developers, not to mention the games not looking better the current gen.


Duh, they are still using DX9 level shaders and early SDK on Wii U, what the hell are you expecting? They don't even have a MLAA solution in their SDK yet so devs have to make their own if they want decent AA for deferred rendering. How many Wii U has been sold? How much return can 3rd party expect? Do they want to take the gamble and spend resources on an unproven platform from a company that 3rd party can't sale the software on due to the low install base? All $$$$$$$$$$$$, simple logic.


thats the problem the hardware itself is so close to current gen, you need to really invest to to make it look slightly better, there is a quote from a developer on neogaf, saying some ports run great on 360/ps3 with out any optimization, while wiiu has problems.


The "without any optimization" thing is becuase they already optimized them since the platforms have been out for 7-8 fucking years. If they don't want to invest it, fine, but don't go thinking that the new consoles are god machines that run on magic either, I've already played shit during PAX Prime, and trust me, the new consoles aren't that grand either in that optimization department. Knack has some serious problems, 2nd son is still not publicly playable, BF4 looks like shit right now on X1 settings, Killer Instinct is Killer Instinct, and Ryse looks to be the most boring game ever with a lot of issues still. Titan Fall though, looks interesting, even though it's actually running on Source Engine LOL(expect very little difference from the 360 version)!

What new hardware is ever optimized? The answer is, none, and don't expect too many games to take advantage of the actual hardware features with the upcoming consoles for the first year either, that's not how that shit works, it never was to start with.
