From Wii to Wii U, the jump is bigger then last gen. Wii games look slightly better then Gamecube Games, and Wii U games, so far, comparable to PS4 games.


Read your whole post but that completely ruins everything else you have to say. Nothing on Wii U is even comparable to Knack.

vs.

Really? Don't be biased, don't ignore the Wii U graphically.

I think most will agree Wii U games like X look better then we expected and PS4 games look worse then we expected. The difference from Wii U and PS4 is nowhere nearly as big as previous gens. Heck the X-Box to PS2 difference is bigger then this.

It is large enough to be noticeable. The first wave of games on the 360 and PS3 respectively didn't impress me. I recall people calling the 360 the Xbox 1.5 until Gears of War hit so that's pretty telling.

Also, screen shots can be deceptive. One has to consider motion as well. I've seen beautiful games with jerky movements, bad frames and screen tearing - overall just lacking smoothness. Killzone: Shadow Fall seems unshackled by these things.

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

Since you called me biased I feel the need to bring up the fact I own a Wii U.

Moving on, look at knack's particle effects and volumetric fire. Look at its lighting, high resolution textures, and super high polygon count. We have very little gameplay of it but that's still enough to evaluate it on a technical level. Meanwhile X really only has scale going for it. It looks exactly like what we expect from the Wii U.

0_0 Whaaaaa?

 

I respect your opinion, but to compare anything the Wii U has done so far to the little we've seen of the PS4 (even at early stages) is a bit much. PS3 I agree with, PS4 .. no way man. So far the Wii U looks distinctly current gen. The Wii U can't even handle the Witness (allegedly). 0_0

The biggest jump I've seen is from the SNES to the N64. Every generation after that has been smaller and smaller leaps. It is the law of diminishing returns.

This.

Hopefully next gen will focus on more than graphics but content wise and etc.

 

Enough with the 10-15 hour games.........roll out with the 50+ hour games *_* and I dont mean RPGs!

No!! My backlog with expand exponentially ;)

I'd actually prefer it if it went to 10-15 hrs as long as they can deliver a meaningful narrative during that time. I some movies can make you cry in 2 why can't games in 10 or less?

I didn't say that you are biased, I said don't be biased. Look at the above images and honestly tell me that one looks noticably better then the other. Both look similar, if I didn't know they were exclusives on different platforms I would think they were releasing for the same platform, or one with similar specs.

Yes knack has great lighting and high resolution textures, but does X not have that? I think the lighting in X is better. Knack has a super high polygon count, but look at the draw distance. You can see for literally kilometers in X, but Knack never showed any scenes with more then a couple hundred meters of depth.

X looks like a game not possible on the 360/PS3, and most people expected Wii U to be only a bit better then PS3/360. X showed us all wrong, and I bet the next Metroid and Zelda will furthur nail this fact in.

So far the Wii U looks distinctly current gen and I don't see how anybody could compare its games to next gen stuff.

See Above. I can't see any PS3/360 games running X. Most high end 360 games have serious fade in problems, and objects at a distance randomly appear when you get close enough. Never do we see moving interactive object over 1 km away unless they are set story sequences (something which happens identically every time you play the chapter). Some PS3 games, like God of War, look something like X, but the lighting and texture just don't match up. X looks noticably better and distinctively next gen.

Is this a joke? Why are you using CoD3, one of the worse examples of a good looking HD title? Why not use the God of War games the same way you're comparing the Killzone games?


"Really small jump"...right.

Anyway, the jump will be smaller than this gen and next gen the jump will be even smaller than this jump, etc. The improvements will still be noticeable though.

Um maybe cause Cod3 was a launch title while GOW3 came out in 2010? Na, that couldn't possibly be it. You know Killzone Shadow Fall is a launch title right?

Yea kinda, but the PS3/360 jump was on par to N64 -> Gamecube/X-Box. Then again the price of a new console was a huge jump too.

Still Wii -> Wii U >>> Gamecube -> Wii, and I'd even argue similar to N64 -> Gamecube. Nintendo specific, Wii U was a big jump.
