Have any of you interested in purchasing the game seen my previous post where you can get the game and others for $30 on origin?

Outside of the gameplay additions, the graphics have received a fairly noticeable improvement over the PS3 and 360 versions. Thanks to using the same assets as the PC version, this is now the best-looking version of the game available on a console. It wasn’t a slouch before, but now the road textures are much cleaner and the lighting effects are even more impressive. They really look amazing at night too, with the light shining off of roads and into each little crevice on them. Car models look better than ever too, although the game still has a slightly jaggy appearance at times that takes away from the visual bliss on display. However, unlike the other console versions, there’s no texture pop-in here, which is nice. The visuals pop nicely on the Gamepad, and seeing such high-end graphics on a small screen in amazing.

In the end Criterion has brought NFSMW to Wii U apparently effortlessly, although I’m sure a great deal of effort actually went into the transition. The game looks and plays better than the previous home console versions, standing shoulder to shoulder with the PC version in terms of graphics, and the added Wii features just sweeten the pot. While many launch window ports on Wii have felt rushed and overall shaky, NFSMWU screams like a V12 roadster doing 160 on the interstate. Whatever Criterion has done, I hope other developers learn how to coax this much raw performance out of the Wii U, and soon.

It's sitting on 87 at meta O_O; wonder if it'll stick or get better.

Doesn´t matter to me, I don´t have a gaming pc rig, only a crappy aspire with onboard graphics card (think "no card at all") and 6 GB DDR3, wich are so uselless that makes me think that PC RAM has to be at least 10X weaker than console RAM, cause my PS3 do so much more with so much less. The only thing my notebook can run is CivV and Swat4 at minimun setting. In short, I hate pc gaming and PC gaming hates me back =/

The PS3 version is on sale as well. Well better luck on the console or future pc gaming rig.

These reviewers said exactely the opposite:

"Criterion touts Most Wanted U as their best looking console game to date.  If the are improvements over the Xbox 360 version they are subtle at best.I wasn’t able to notice any despite playing the Xbox 360 version quite regularly.  That said this game does look fantastic.NFS games have typically had a less-than-perfect framerate.  Most Wanted U isn’t perfect but it is the smoothest NFS game I remember playing.

You know... a basic demand for having a job as a reviewer should be "not be a fanboy".

Another plus is that this version already has all the dlc and you don´t have to pay for online access. It´s clear that this version has some improvements. That said, i´d say that this thread is pointless, just another tentative of flaming fanboys wars.

yes, ps4 looks is close to being my dream console so far.

Where is Digital Foundry when you need it?

probably see there comparison by friday/saturday.
