A moment of silence for how great this game could've looked on PS4.


LOL. Im dead right now, thats so trueeee! LOL!

 Bayonetta 2: A little past last gen but glossier. ;)


It must be hard for folks who honestly care more about graphics than anything else when it comes to gaming. I'm not saying YOU feel that way, however a lot of people seem to.

And the silly/sad part is, people sitting around arguing over home console graphics and graphics capabilities, when any graphics whore worth their salt knows that the best hardware and best possible graphics these days are always going to be on high-end PCs, rendering the entire fanboy argument moot.

 

The fact is, Wii U's GPU is plenty strong, it's not "last gen", and the system will provide some of the best looking games of the 8th gen. It already has, in Pikmin 3 and Super Mario 3D World, and those games are first wave software, not even close to really tapping the console's power. Of COURSE PS4 is going to have the very most technically impressive, sparkliest, flashiest graphics at the end of the day. But if Wii could produce some of the best looking games of last gen on "barely better than GC hardware" as some put it, then Wii U can and will absolutely produce some of the prettiest games of the 8th gen, considering the power gap between Wii U and PS4 is considerably smaller than Wii vs. PS3. This gen will be about physics and scalable game engines, not about shiniest graphics. Period.


You have nothing to prove to me about the Wii U's power. I am not expecting very much from the Wii U in terms of power, i just wanted an up to last gen par level console from Nintendo which I never got from the original Wii. I am certainly getting one this gen and Bayonetta is definitely on my list. Its just really funny to think how great Bayonetta would've looked on the more powerful next gen consoles. Almost brings a fan to tears, the destruction and scale would've probably been 3 to 4x as big. When I think about it though I am thankful Nintendo is taking the fall to make this game happen because even though I doubt it will sell well exclusively to a Nintendo platform i hope it does so we can see a Bayonetta 3. Thank you Nintendo for picking up the tab because no one else would. I feel bad for Ninty already because of the sales with the Wonderful 101.
