Trine 2 on PS3/360 is not just lower resolution than on Wii U; it also has lower res textures, worse AA, worse effects.

And frankly you'd better get used to Wii U being described as more powerful than PS3 and 360, because that's the reality.

I've already shown you quotes from actual developers who've worked with the hardware saying that (A) it's more capable than PS3/360 and (B) that main RAM bandwidth is not the problem you're trying to make out that it is.


Hmm for some reason I thought the wii u version of Trine 2 was 1080p but like 360 and PS3 it is 720p at 30fps and this is for a game with low cpu requirements.  

I only have to get used to it here or other places where nintendo fanboys post. It's pretty commonly perceived as sub 360 and PS3 in many other places hence probably the very low sales the wii u receives. I think its a standing joke on many sites where people post images of what the wii u version of new games would look like despite no wii u version planned and its usually images of Atari VCS titles of a similar genre or images of other very retro hardware games. Only someone with strong bias would believe a console was more powerful than other consoles despite those consoles having superior versions of the same games most of the time.

And yet, most early (and not so early) multiplat versions in 7th gen were better on 360 than on PS3, and we all know PS3 has more muscle.

WiiU has weak CPU, but somewhat better GPU (I'm leaning toward 160:8:8 setup, ever since that thread on GAF back in Nov 13 about 192 threads and 32 ALUs for GPU one dev disclosed), so depending on the game it can pull more or less compared to PS360, but overall, considering most games are GPU bound, it's fair to say that is, overall, somewhat stronger than them.

Though I get where you're coming from, there are some people around here that still believe that WiiU is much stronger than it is, and some (name won't be mentiond) were downright crazy about it. Unforrtunatelly, unless some dev who has experience with both WiiU and PS360 comes out and spell it out for us, I doubt we'll know much more....Tachi, wink, wink, nudge, nudge. ;)
