Forums - Gaming - Wii U Darksiders 2 graphics "at least as good" as PS3, Xbox 360 versions'

thismeintiel on 23 May 2012

This should show people who plan on purchasing the Wii U what to expect from 3rd party support. They will mostly get ports of 360/PS3 games, only slightly optimized (mostly to use the tablet controller). Of course, this will only be for the first year or 2. If the Wii U is HUGE, then developers will still support it. However, if it only sells mediocre, then most of the 3rd parties will move on to the NeXbox and PS4, and it will be the Wii all over again.

Edit:  As for 1st party games, I'm expecting them to look as good as the best looking PS3 games available.  While they will look good, it won't be much of a reason to purchase the Wii U for ~$300-$350 when a year later the NeXbox and PS4 will be launching with much better graphics and cost $50-$100 more.

Well I personally think it'll be about on par as the PS3 and 360, just how the Wii is on par with the PS2, I mean, for Nintendo graphics don't matter, as we've seen this gen, the Wii has sold really well, and people will buy the Wii U for the games and because it's a Nintendo console, they clearly won't care about the graphics if the Wii is anything to go buy, and Nintendo aren't advertising it as a graphical powerhouse (Whereas Sony and Microsoft have done that with the PS3 and 360 respectively), infact I reckon next gen will go the same way as this one has, although I think the next Playstation may actually sell better than the next Xbox right out of the gate, if it's priced correctly ofcourse, and if some of the big hitting IP's carry over to next gen (Let's hope Naughty Dog don't forget about Uncharted once the PS4 releases!)

God!

... What? What did I say wrong? o.O

All I've heard about the Wii U is that it's "as capable" as the PS3 and 360, and the Wii isn't THAT much better looking than the PS2 (Infact some PS2 games look better than Wii games, in my opinion atleast...), so if this is true (Like I said, all I've heard...) then next gen will most likely be a repeat of the current one, Nintendo doesn't need to focus on graphics, it's been proven by this gen alone...

Lol I don’t know how I missed your post but seriously you should check your facts before making a ridicules post like that.

 

Wii on par with PS2? GET OUT! 

 

and this has nothing to do with opinion >_Z

Its the Developers Fault they want to Make all versions similar we got Confirmation that the Aliens games will look Best On Wii U for Consoles so this just proves they dont want to push the system

Remember when the Xbox 360 came out. It had games like Tomb Raider Legend (which many said was better on the Xbox, believe it or not--less glitchy), Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, and GUN. HD ports of sixth gen games and nothing more.

Don't take this as a representation of what the Wii U has to offer. Remember your history.

Excuse me?

Oh wait nevermind, you're a Nintendo fanboy anyway, therefore your "opinion" telling me mine is wrong, is automatically void.

The GC is more powerful than PS2 and the Wii is more powerful than GC

You do the math

 

Oh I’m sorry I shouldn’t have corrected someone with an opinion with actual facts as facts will not change anything anyway.

 

Carry on >_>

I can't wait to see if the Wii U version will be able to improve the game in other areas, besides graphic. Such as reduced pop in, screen tearing, etc. The first Darksiders had quite a bit of screen tearing, but it was so good that I overlooked it.

i hope we get the old game as a pack in with the second one

Maybe it is more powerful, but I've yet to see a game on the Wii that doesn't look any better than a PS2 game, if only SLIGHTLY better... maybe it has more processing power or whatever, but a lot (Maybe most gamers, who knows) of people will judge a consoles "power" on graphics alone, which yeah, is wrong, and I'll admit I do it myself sometimes, but if I look at a game playing on two screens, one on the PS3 and the other on the Wii, just from the graphics alone I can tell which is the more powerful console... if I see a PS2 and a Wii game side by side, they'll look nearly identical... that's what I mean when I say it's on par...

Well you should check RE4 which is a last gen game made for GC but if it can run smoother than it did on GC then it shows which one is more powerful. The PS2 version is heavily modified to run on PS2

 

 

PS: i don't need to be a fanboy to point this stuff out
