WiiUGO

The site FedWars had the chance to talk to a THQ developer who had a few comments to share about the Wii U. The anonymity of the interview harkens back somewhat to theProject Café era, but unlike the anonymous “leaks” we had back then, this employee doesn’t make any ridiculous claims – his comments seem quite reasonable, and don’t clash with anything we already know about the Wii U.

One of the things he made very clear was that the Wii U versions of Metro: Last Light andDarksiders 2 would be graphically superior to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 releases. He compared the Wii U version of a multiplatform release to a Blu-ray movie vs. a DVD. But he did warn that “this will only happen as long as a developer or publisher puts in the time and effort instead of doing a straight port.”

Most of the employee’s words had to do with the power of the Wii U console, and they shed some much-needed light on how far beyond the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 it lies. According to him, the Wii U would be capable of full 1080p in “most” of its games, which I’m sure many of you will find relieving.

Expect majority of third party Wii U games from most publishers to have true 1080p, additional content, and smoother framrates than what the PS3/360 versions offer.  If you want the DEFINITIVE version of any game in your library, I would suggest either the PC version or the Wii U version…at least for now.

Let’s just hope that most developers really do sit down and take the time to make the Wii U version of a multiplatform game a “deluxe” experience instead of settling for a lazy, direct port.

Im sure those games can look better on Wii U, but the most recent THQ dev actually said : "Will Darksiders 2 and Metro: Last Light be in 1080p on Wii U? I can't speak for the teams behind those games. I don't work on those specific teams so I can't say what they plan to do with the Wii U versions of their games as far as graphics or content go."

Basically, he doesnt know if Darksiders and Metro looks better on Wii U, depends if its a straight port or not.

But he did warn that “this will only happen as long as a developer or publisher puts in the time and effort instead of doing a straight port.

I wonder how many will actually put time and effort...

But anyway, the least I can expect from next gen consoles is 1080p with 60fps as standard.

well...its not like I'm gonna drop my PS3&360 and get a WiiU just to play these games because it preforms better on another console...

I just might, not only that it will have an awesome new controls with the wii u controller.

I'm pretty sure everyone has figured out by now that games will look better on the Wii U.

well if u do, I hope you enjoy your purchases

 I love my 360 but I'm ready for the next gen.  Bring on the Wii-U!!!

like i said earlie, if you do buy a WiiU I hope you enjoy your purchase, It's going to take more than multiplats to get me a WiiU, besides I usually wait about a year to get any new system so all the kinks are fixed  and maybe a price cut

This is clearly nonsense, we all know that the Wii U is in development hell after the all knowing and mighty lords of 01.net deemed us worthy of their infallible wisdom.

But seriously, we've already seen that only a selection of developers are willing to go the extra mile with Nintendo hardware in the visual stakes. So I wouldn't hold out much hope on that point.
