Why should I know what your primary is? I don't keep tabs on users. I don't care what you own. I only care about the substance of your argument. There are people with more money than sense that have bought consoles and games in the past just to justify talking shit about them. It doesn't mean anything to me what you own or don't own or play or don't play.

But come on. Take a step back .This is a completely ridiculous assertion. You've seen what? 90 minutes of gameplay and you already know what the sacle of the game is? You know how capable it's physics engine is? This game is running on a Wii U. By your logic the Wii U can run Uncharted 4. Come on man, let's keep this a little more grounded.


I point out my long term Sony preference to quickly nip in the butt a false accusation of blindly following Nintendo.  Dunno if you would have tried to go there, but it is common practice to lable anyone who disagrees with them as a fanboy these days.  Just wanted to shed light on that before that could even become a thing.

 

All I saying is that BotW is a game that is on scale with Witcher 3 (one of my fav games) and has more fluid combat and deeper means of exploration.  Yes as I already said, WiiU can run PS4 caliber games based on BotW, but not many games utilized that potential.  You are looking in terms of visuals only my friend, and that is where your argument falls short.  PS4 caliber means a lot more than just visual  power. The WiiU could certainly run Uncharted 4.  It would lose a FEW things visually, but not as much as you suggest.  After all the WiiU is more powerful than the PS360, and you see how great TLoU and U2 and 3 look.

 

Also BotW is a large scale open world game with physics we have never seen before on consoles.  By comparing it to a linear 3rd person shooter, you are only crippling your own argument.  So again, the Switch can run PS4 caliber games on the go.  Perhaps it is you who needs to take a step back and look?  😉

This is absolutely ridiculous. From an objective point of view in terms of capability, you can do FAR more on a PS4 than you can on a Wii U. Who says I was just talking about graphical fidelity? Maybe you should look into Uncharted's engine, and how "to the metal" it is,allowing it to get more out of the PS4 than most developers could ever dream of. In fact members of Naughty Dog's team regularly consult on behalf of Sony to help other developers better optimize their games. On top of that, Uncharted 4's physics, AI and animation systems, and how they're some of the most advanced systems ever made for a video game. Don't make assumptions.

The Wii U flat out 100% could not run Uncharted 4. Don't kid yourself. The PS4's memory bandwith is over 7 times larger than the Wii U's. That allows you to do far more complex calculations of every sort for any purpose, and all of it would have to be pared down significantly to get the Wii U's version of Uncharted 4 besides scaling back the anti-aliasing, and simpliying some shaders. That's a fact.
