I know this is still hard to answer, but with these specs how much powerful the system will be compared to the 360 and PS3?

If that is low then what would you call high?

I was expecting 1080p 4X MSAA for next gen... anyway some game run 720p 4x MSAA or 1080p in PS360.

That's is just a little better than XENOS (360)... seems like a HD 4750 or 4770.

There will likely never be a generation where games will all be 60 FPS. Its not a specification of the system. No matter how good you can make a game look at 60 FPS, you can make it look 2x better at 30 FPS.

Disagree. 1 of the reasons Rage is number 1 for me in visuals even after playing the Uncharted games firsthand is because it also runs so smooth helping the game to look better to.

Wii U games looking only "slightly" better than games from 6 YEARS OLD consoles is a big, huge disappointment.

man can lilbrosex stop anytime soon please? nice that you wish to give pezus some points for posts in this thread but common...

to the specs: at least it seem really be better than 360/ps3, hope we will at least see that in first party games anytime soon.


Stop what? Am I doing something wrong?


I didn't know that asking for more detailed explainations was a violation of the rules.

More than 4x MSAA is really not needed. Should focus on something else instead. It's just a power hog above that.

For next gen?  You see PC gamers runing games in 720p 4xMSAA??? I think at least 1080p 2xMSAA.

compare start titles of hd consoles with that. games which will look better on release will look much better in some years than nowadays games. or compare best xbox games with xbox 360 start games. sure there was a big difference but not even close to what we have now. and i believe no one did really expect wii u as strong as nextbox or ps4

Keep in mind that these games are still being worked on and they are launch titles. Remember PS3/360 launch titles? Yeah...



Ah the good old days of Kameo and Call of Duty 2 Fortunately these were quickly abused by Gears of War (The first true HD console game IMO), which is being abused now by Halo 4, God of War:A, TLOU etc,
