You forgot this Ninjablade. Ohwai...you didn't couse you where too busy cherrypicking.

"As a result, it's Nintendo's hardware that gives us the clearest and most integral image of the three, while the 360 and PS3 versions trail behind with sub-HD presentations, with the PlayStation 3 coming off as particularly blurry."

-Digital Foundry

And here, look how awful WiiU Splinter Cell Blacklist looks on WiiU. Dat awful texture work is really disturbing. Not to mention dat horrible framerate:

I want to thank ninjablade for making this thread and pointing out the Wii U is the best version among the consoles, with better resolution, graphics, controller and performance, thanks to him UbiSoft has just secured my money.

Thanks pal.

2) Wii U is also putting it out to an additional screen that the others don't have bogging them down.
3) Wii U doesn't have the mandatory install that would remove the pop-in issue and likely fix the load times too.
4) Wii U has a arguably best in class control option with the gamepad. (off-tv or 2nd screen option)

Finally, their summary clearly show they would actually prefer the Wii U version had it not been an obvious rush port and/or receives a patch to fix the FPS issue.

I think some of you haters are reading way too much into some details and cherry-picking/ignoring the other parts of the discussion.

I don't get what you're saying, here.  The Wii U gamepad is a part of the Wii U--it doesn't get a free pass if that's causing a problem.   The Wii U not having an install option likely has to do with the Wii U basic having very little internal storage--again, that's an aspect of the Wii U and does not deserve a free pass for it.

If it receives a patch or not has nothing to do with right now.   They cannot, and should not, assume that it will get a patch that fixes everything.  Not being optimized or ported by the original team or not also has no bearing on the actual performance of the game.  You can point it out, and if it's true, it's valid point to be annoyed about, but in a comparison, it simply does not matter.  How many PS3 games would be better if the developers could redesign the game around the cell processor?  It doesn't matter.

I don't even care about which version is the best, they're all likely just fine.  These articles are interesting to read but people get too wound up about minor differences.  However, some of your points are immaterial.  Digital Foundry should not be considering "what ifs" and hypotheticals when they're comparing the games in front of them.

But isn't that typical NinjaBlade anyways.  C'mon the guys thinks Red Dead Redemption is superior to Monolith/Nintendo's 'X' that and his sig is enough to show that he is somewhat delusional and reason for his bias toward Nintendo.

Excuse me but why can't he think that? Or do you mean graphics?

yes PeeZee, he said RDR has superior graphics

Certainly not the PS3 version then. That is a pretty poor port.


But he really believe that. That's why nobody cares about Ninjablade's opinion

He also said 'X' looks like kinda like a PS2 game. That's why you never pay attention to what ninjablade says.

Funny how when DF writes a controversial article on PS4 everyone says they lost their credibility. But when an article mentions the flaws of the Wii U game its like the bible to go to lol.

Did you really get that out of this thread? I think you might need to check again. Eurogamer actually say that the PS360 versions are better. It's not just something Ninjablade made up.

I guess people fail to realize V-sync is the cause for the slightly lower framerate (though Lens of Truth would tell us otherwise about framerates though, where Wii U is actually better than 360). The visual quality doesn't tell us much about the GPU potential because even the PC version looks like crap. Plus, it's using Unreal Engine 2.5, a modified version of it. How many UE2.5 games has Wii U ran? And how many Wii U 3rd party games have been ported form the main team and not some random people?
