here the 360 version looks much better pics from DF.


Ever heard of Ambient Occlusion? Oh nevermind, I'm sure you don't know what it is. But oh, you shall not worry, you're lucky that there's some people with knowledge at this site that can share their wisdom with you!: It's a lighting simulation method that gives much more realistic results, it calculates reflections better (specially on non-reflective surfaces) and it's usually VERY tasking on GPU's. And that's exactly why the X360 screenshot looks brighter and flatter, because it lacks ambient occlusion. Thanks for sharing those pics and proving the point that the Wii U version looks better and runs better.

But hey, as you said that you did not like how the Wii U version looked, you might as well skip the PS4 altogether, because I'm sure many of it's games will be full of ambient occlusion and realistic lighting.

Well, guess I'll start a thread about how worm flavor ice cream is better then chocolate, you know since it's about preference and not any facts based on reality.


its funny how you can't post comparsion pics to prove your point, yes the wiiu version has some pc textures a very slight upgrade that you can't even see in direct feed pics

That you can't see. (Or can but refuse to acknowledge it)

I think most people would find the difference in reflections in these two pics quite noticeable. (Look at the road above of the yellow car folks, to where the 360 version has a blank space but the Wii U has reflections)


i noticed it now but your really grasping for straws if that makes that pic look better then the 360 version, i think the 360 version uses much color and lighting in that pic.

Oh, so it's grasping at straws to point out a clear technical difference, but its not to just say "but I like the (almost identical) colours better!"

How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you behave this way?


i already said the game wins by a very small margin tech wise. but i prefer the 360 version.

Then go enjoy your worm flavor icecream, what are you trying to prove?  That technical improvements mean shit?  If that's what you're saying then why did you dedicate your signature to tech specs?

fake edit: Most of your complaining about the "lighting" can be attributed to the darker base gamma point that the Wii U has become known for.

go read the df article and get back to me, they made the wiiu version pitchblack on purpose, to make tsoem lighting effects more prounced, i won't be skipping ps4 becuase i laready see next gen looking game for it. that wow me graphically and not to mention it will get tons of support. personally i don'tlike the pitch black choice they made,.

look at how much the ;lighting looks here in the 360 version.

 

 

First of all, I don't agree, the 360 is higher contrast, but doesn't strike me as better or worse, but if you prefer it, I get that.

Secondly, the shadows show the Wii U one is slightly closer to sunset, so its not really a direct comparison.


all pics from df are suppose to be the sametime of day and time, but anyway we do nintendo fans feel the need to flame for staing a simple opinion, when really the pics proof how close they are, its very hard to notice a differnce, unlike the RDR difference which is very noticable.

Who's flaming? You're lucky to be getting as civil a response as you are when you come here deliberately stirring people up with your Wii U bashing crusade.

Maybe because they... I don't know.. wanted to make it actually look like its night time? Just a guess...

Well boy, if you don't like realistic pitch black light at a night time scene in a game, be ready to do some adjusting to your TV's brightness and contrast settings every time your future PS4 games have night time maps, because they're gonna have LOTS of that realistic pitch black lighting ;)

Your entire history on this site has been committed to bashing Nintendo, specifically the Wii U, with every post and thread you make. This behaviour may fly on most other game sites, where it's "cool" to bash Nintendo, but here on VGChartz, we generally disapprove of the bashing of any console. You've been banned multiple times already.

Would it kill you to just accept that the Wii U beat the PS3/360 with Most Wanted, and move on? So consoles you like got outperformed by one you don't, its not the end of the world, and it's not a good reason to start a denial thread in a desperate attempt to try to downplay and invalidate said victory.

maybe because judging from the pics and video, the graphics don't really look better, maybe slightly, but if it were a rdr/trine difference then i will happily admit it, i said the wiiu won this techically, but it also came out 6 months later. got the benifit of extra 6 months on done game.

6 months with a new, unfamiliar piece of hardware.

This was Criterion's 4th/5th game for the PS3/360 respectively, they'd learned through experience how to squeeze the juice out of those consoles. It was their first game on Wii U.
