It's far more likely that you're simply upset by their verdict than bias having occurred on their behalf.


exactly, worst textures, worst loading times and worst frame rate is clealy a vaild reason to give it last place, look at the sonic all star racing comparison, the ps3 was 720 pwhile the wiiu version was 680p yet they still gave the wiiu the nod cause of the better framerate and gameplad,


Wow look who's here!!! What an unexpected surprise...I guess we might hear about how Red Dead Redemption is again superior to X when X has not even been released yet!!! Man your sig is epic troll dude!!!

you know whats funny about my sig, its the truth.

It's better than the lens of truth which didn't even include the 360 versions texture pack.

They stated that the image quality for Wii-U is better, but it has slow load times (Which could be fixed by allowing mand install), and worse textures.
While Xbox 360 has best Textures, PS3 has the most stable framerate.

Personally I'd prefer Wii-U's IQ (Upscaled, Best Resolution, no Screen Tearing), over PS3's and Xbox360's slightly better textures. However, when loading time and framerate comes into the picture it become more murky.

I generally don't like games, particularly action ones that go too far below 30 FPS (I want 60), which is why I don't game on Consoles that much. The extra 5-10 FPS lower can hamper the experience quite a bit for me. For others not so much. They provide all the data and come to a conclusion based on their preference.

For me, it's just a matter of opinion, some prefer better performance (FPS), less loading times, others no screen tearing and better textures. So for me, it's just equal on every platform.

I wouldn't worry too much, they are usually biased the other end of the scale when it comes to game reviews for Nintendo platforms, so it all equals out :)


Um...I don't know about that one.  I still think they are butt-hurt that they prematurely revealed the 3DS was using a Tegra processor when in fact it wasn't.  Their Latte GPU assesment was actually quite sad and full of biased speculations.

I guess I was just trying to make the point that an opinion can be looked on in different directions depending on the user.

You think DF is too harsh on Nintendo, many on EG think they are too hard on the PS3.... while others think that their reviewers for nintendo games are overly reviewed.

So personally i wouldnt worry about it :)

Most of the time it was the case that the WiiU version looked the best but performed the worst.
Looking at Splinter Cell Blacklist, the same happened again.

It's really not hard to make a game look better, but if the performance suffers from it then it shouldn't be done.

Most internet sites without the word " Nintendo" in them are biased towards Nintendo. It is the cool thing to do and you will get hits on your site or sales of your magazine. That is why EGM has lasted this long and Xbox Magazine.

I have never been to digital foundry, but I hate them as of right now.

You stole my answer.

I love My Wii U, and the potential it brings to gaming.
