yeah this.

Let me see if BF3 can match PC graphics. Then I would be more impressed.

People really quote Reggie these days? He's just a company mascot.

OT: I realllly wouldn't expect super duper graphics if it's still unsure it's not even above PS360 graphic levels, PC soon beat them out didn't it?

Doubtful. I don't believe consoles will ever match PC.

not sure wht to say. as long as gameplay follows this then that a win for everyone.

Okay. Now tell me something that the Wii U version can do that the other versions can't.

Graphics just aren't that important. Nintendo tried to teach us this in 2004 and 2006, but it seems like a lot of people were sleeping in class.

He would need to deflect as he as a business man probably has no idea of the actual capabilities of the system, and was just repeating the company line of "the Wii U is HD now just like you wanted" if you pay attention of everything that came out of Nintendo about the Wii U's graphics it was all it's HD, it can match PS360 etc.

Also John Riccitiello was in context talking about how the Wii U was offering them the ability to do everything the PS3 and 360 could do, he was talking about how the online capabilities of the Wii U would allow them to do everything they could do on the other consoles now unlike with the Wii and at the same time mentioned that the Wii U could run Battlefeild 3. There was no indecation he was doing anything but reiterating that the Wii U could do anything the PS360 could, and also as PC games are scalable to the hardware it is more than possible for the PC version to look and run the same as the consoles anyway so is again meaningless.

And given Darksiders past history with the PC and the fact that there has been no indecation the PC version of 2 is doing anything significantly better than the console versions and the fact that all evidence is that games are going to be 720p on Wii U it probably just means that the Wii U has more RAM and supports higher resolution textures (most quick console to PC ports up the resolution of textures at least a bit) which would match up with what gearbox said about Aliens using a higher texture resolution than the PS360 versions and the spec rumours saying that the Wii U had a total of 1GB of RAM. And given that nintendo is pretty desprate to please 3rd parties and the most common complaint devs have of the PS3 and 360 is lack of RAM makes sense. But will probably just mean the Wii U games look like PS360 games with sharper textures.

Of course it's not news. Good for Nintendo=ignored. Shit on Nintendo=50 pages. This has been basic truth since 1990 or so when Sega started targeting the 12-25 audience with Nintendo=kiddie. This just in: water is wet.

Happy that it'll be on par with the PC version. I do like the aesthetics of Darksiders, but I agree it's not much of a technical achievement. Then again, if you're really into games for more complex games and better graphics you really shouldn't be looking at consoles in the first place.
