So it drops to 720p while streaming my intensive porn visuals on the controller.

Video game journalism is so terrible. They can't even properly report what the original source actually said.




Welcome to current Gen Nintendo.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

Anything below 1080p is simply unacceptable. I'd like the Wii U to be a proper entertainment device, not a toy like the Xbox 360 or PS3.


I laughed.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

I saw this earlier and my impression is that it goes against what Nintendo said at E3. They stated it should have 1080p with 30 or 60fps.

Now if that means 720p to get stable 60fps or 1080p for 30fps average.... well I can see that and it is still a solid upgrade from PS360 where its all 720p at 30fps or less.

Also, it states 720p when using the controller screen... so with out that its probably solid 1080p.

The controller is also potentially off as they've always said it will be HD and 480p is not HD. But in reality, it would be fine for a 6" screen.

Considering recent rumors state they actually upgraded the system some so it will be compatible with Unreal Engine 4... idk if this rumor is perfect. But, it is believable.

Nintendo never stated that the controller would be HD only that the WiiU would.

One puts too much stock in resolution.

The problem, of course, is that the speculative wanking about Wii U specs is only going to get worse until we hit a point much closer to launch when a developer leaks official specs (that Nintendo will never corroborate, much as they never did for Wii)

Such arguments will only get worse before they get better



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Personally, I expect games that try to push the graphical limits of any of the next generation consoles will mostly be rendered at 720p@30fps; while most games are modest improvements over current HD console or Wii games rendered at 1080p@60fps.

The reason for this is simple, I do not believe that anyone is willing to take on the expenses associated with a cutting-edge game console at this point in time. Consumers are unwilling to spend (much) more than $450 on a console, console manufacturers will be unwilling to lose billions of dollars up front to keep the cost of a high performance system reasonable, and publishers/developers are not going to want to increase development costs 2 to 4 times to produce games for these systems to (probably) only go broke after selling millions of copies of a game.

If it's not 300dpi, I am not buying it. My 3 years old printer is already doing 600dpi.



The Wii U launch titles have to look better than Uncharted 3, or it is not acceptable.
