Will this shut up all of Sony's and MS's fanboys saying the Wii U is the same as the PS3 and 360? 

Only in a dream world...


"Basically that does require... well, not huge amounts more graphics processing power, but still considerable. If we would publish that on the other consoles, then I believe that there would be some small downscaling of what it is right now."

 

when the developer states trine 2 isn't doing much more than what ps360 are capable of ... well, that's not the exactly helping your case.  but hey!  i hear puddle is 1080p...

So, OSED125. There is the answer to your quesiton. LOL.


And his words in no way translate to " trine 2 isn't doing much more than what ps360 are capable". He is stating specifically that it "is" doing much more than the PS3 and 360 are capable of. Its not an FFXIII vs FFXII level of different but enough to where it would need downgrading for your preferred console Kitler.

 

so the wait continues....where is that "FFXIII vs FFXII level of difference" to make me think the wiiU is anything but on par with 7 year old ps360 tech?

..and lol and you implying i'm a fanboy.  i really hope to god nintendo actually pays you to post the dozens of daily wiiU threads you post on this site.  if you aren't a paid contributor then your nintendo obsession is so depressingly sad.

This very interview already states that its beyond what the PS3 and 360 can do, so it being more than on par with the 360/PS3 is confirmed unless you simply refuse to acknolwedge the facts.


Also, I post any new news I see that hasn't been posted already. There isn't much new about the PS3 and 360 popping up these days, and when I do post something its always already posted by people in the PS3, PC or 360 sections already. The Nintendo section and Nintendo as a whole don't get much attention on this site unless it is something negative. I'm simply filling the void. If you don't like the articles then take it up with their writers.

The Wii U has the largest volume of news right now so that is where the largest volume of my post shall be until that changes, or SEGA makes a new console. Whichever comes first. I would also settle for more people posting in the PC section about "non-mainstream" games.

Funny how people completely change when they have the power on their side.

To quote another poster I saw..

Dave is hung like a horse. Colin is hung like a squirrel. Guess who says 'size doesn't matter' the most

Sometimes I question the intelligence of those that are still in denial that the Wii U is considerably more powerful than the PS360.  I mean c'mon it doesn't take a mensa member to know that the Wii U is at THE VERY LEAST 3x more powerful than the last gen HD twins.  I do concede that the X720 will probably be at minimum have a 50-60% boost over the Wii U; which is comparable to PS2 vs the original Xbox 1.

all i'm asking for is proof.  nintendo won't release stats.  games like AC or batman or ME aren't getting visual upgrades to their ps360 counterparts and frankly those are old games niow that aren't even as advanced looking as the most recent ps360 releases.  nintendo isn't putting 1080 into NSMB wiiU or the rest of the their launch line up.  the only games that seemingly are getting upgrades to their ps360 counter parts or the downloadable non-system-taxing games like trine and puddle and toki tori.  that's cool and all but hardly impressive...trine 2 isn't as impressive as an uncharted or a gears so yeah..

i'm not saying that wiiU isn't more powerful than the ps360.  i'm just saying where's the game that proves it?  zombieU is exclusive and isn't any more advanced looking than recent ps360 games.  why not?  is it a lack of effort or is it a lack of power?  neither you nor i and can say with actual certainty why not.  ..so don't pretend you can.  you can't.  you and i both have rumors and gut-feelings to go on.

also, you can't conceed hat x720 will be 50% boost over wiiU either.  we know even less about that than wiiU.

no, he's saying it is doing more but not "huge amounts more".  so that means what??  10%?  20%?  ps2-->ps3 or xbox-->xbox360 is ballpark 1000% more.  if you intend to prove the wiiU is a "next gen" console this isn't proving shit.  and for the record, i'm not saying that wiiU is or isn't significantly better.  i'm saying this is the absolute worst possible evidence (save possibly for your puddle thread) to try and "prove" wiiU is up to par with a generation improvement in raw capabilities.

so the wait continues....where is that "FFXIII vs FFXII level of difference" to make me think the wiiU is anything but on par with 7 year old ps360 tech?

As far as I read, nobody brought this up as "proof it's next gen" until you. Generations being defined by large leaps in computational power is an obsolete concept anyway, it died when the Wii came out.

People that judge the graphical capabilities of Wii U by looking at launch games are rather silly as Nintendo doesn't have any graphically demanding games for launch (NSMB Wii U, Nintendoland etc) and all third party games are practically ports from X360/PS3 so of course there is not going to be that big difference to last gen. When we see what some studio like Retro can do with Wii U we see the real graphical capabilities of Wii U.

at least we have zombie u which is an exclusive wii u game. i think it's comparable with condemned on the 360 at release but i can't really remember anymore how the jump from xbox titles to condemned on xbox 360 was, all i know is that the higher resolution should have needed some more power but no clue about the graphics.

Plus wait a year when developers will be able to get more out of the system. Exciting times for Wii U. Can't wait.

Actually I'm basing it on this article. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/01/24/xbox-720-will-be-six-times-as-powerful-as-current-gen  I however am giving the Wii U only 3.5x-4x more powerful than the PS360 instead of the 5x the article is implying.  IGN after all is what we are basing the specs for the 3DS; so why not the WIi U and 720.
