No, bro, that's a fallacy. Arguing about a topic one is ignorant about, beyond reason (he started making technical claims LAWL), should be bannable. Just giving your 2 cents is fine, as long as you're willing to admit that you don't know everything. Arrogance and ignorance helps no one and no debate. 

Yeah I'll give that a pass - I  wouldn't want to be in a thread all on my own ;)

Simply put, BF3, FC3, Crysis 1-3, Metro: 2033, Bioshock: Infinite, AC3, and Borderlands 2 with x4EQ Super Sampling all look a full generation ahead when maxed out in 1080p.  Yes the same difference between PS2 and early-mid PS3 games.  The funny thing is my PC is twice as strong as you would need your PC to be to max out those games.

In addition to that most of those mentioned games have more enemies on screen and much faster loading times too.

I've already answered that. This topic is about the next gen console (specs) and its influence on the Wii U.. Which is why I compared them, to give you some perspective on the hardware. If a brand new console cannot hold up to 7-8 year old ones.. (in terms of performance, on ports), then thats shocking tbh. Unoptimised or not, it should be at least powerful enough to handle ported games from the PS3/360 with little trouble. If the console had a more balanced architecture it would have been much easier decision for THQ to consider the Wii U version. Yes, they were in financial trouble but guess what.. hardware plays a major factor in decisions regarding cross-platform development. Making a game for multiple consoles costs them time and money and if a dev deems it not worth the hassle well then, thats.. that.

They don't look a generation ahead IMO. They look, however, much better than console games and I believe nobody can argue with that.

bolded: just like xbox 360 could barely run ps2 ports on the same quality.

They never looked worse lol.  Are you high?!

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.  But I will say that a lot of the benifits aren't immediately apparent.  For instance good levels of AA can make a massive difference once you get used to things more than 10 feet away not looking like a blocky mess...

I missed the part where Zero999 said they looked worse. You position yourself as a technical know-it-all, so I figure you would know that graphics aren't the only factor that goes into the quality of a port. Perhaps he's referring to the framerate, load times and input responsiveness on how those games run? Like I said at the bottom of my last post, Tony Hawk's Project 8 came out for PS2 and PS3, but played like crap on the more powerful console.

Funny how it takes three days and about half a dozen or so posts before you say, "But this topic is about...". You knew what (and who) I originally responded to in my first post, you knew what my post was about, and you knew it was a minor divergence from the OT, yet you went along with it until you ran out of counterargments. You even said you were through with it yesterday, but you're still responding. Either make up your mind on whether you want to discuss what I'm talking about, ignore my posts, remind me to stay on topic, or report me and move on. But you can't respond to what I said, then later decide it's a problem.

You don't think the Wii U is powerful enough to handle ports of Sony and Microsoft's next consoles. Understood, got it. You might even be right, and if you go back and look at every post I've left in this topic, I've never said otherwise. But I want to take your last sentence and go with that:

"Making a game for multiple consoles costs them time and money and if a dev deems it not worth the hassle well then, thats.. that."

And if a pub deems it worth the hassle, then it will green light a Wii U port. ROI will be the biggest deciding factor of whether the WIi U is worth it more than any amount of RAM. That's why we saw inferior versions of COD, Madden, Guitar Hero and the like releasing for the Wii every year. Those games were profitable.

TL:DR - 720 won't decide if Wii U RAM is enough. Consumers will decide by showing whether they're willing to buy third party games and show there is a decent enough market for them on a Nintendo console.

Yeah the 8th Tony Hawk game isn't a cherry picked example.  Good point!
