"The result is unarguably the one of the most impressive, technologically challenging cross-platform conversions the Wii U has in its roster. Owing to the 1GB of RAM available to developers - compared to the 512MB on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 - the Wii U version features the enhanced textures currently found only on the PC version. It sounds like an ambitious addition, but it proved to be no issue for the team.

"There's a switch in our build pipeline that says 'use PC textures' and we flipped that and that was all," Hamadi laughs. "I can take no credit for that, it was literally ten minutes' work... we are using PS3/360 geometry. It's just the textures we upgraded.""

That statement is why I cannot purchase any 3rd party product that's basically a 360 or PS3 game with Gamepad or WiiMote support added on. I'm simply not satisfied with that alone, if the PS4 stuck with 4GB of memory best believe 3rd party's would put the extra 4GB to use on the XBox One. But as a Nintendo customer I'm expected to be contempt because of "good controls", because the other versions control "so poorly"? Um, no.

We're not all graphics whores.

Most third parties put the bare minimum of effort into Wii U ports, so they just throw the 360 version onto Wii U without taking advantage of it's extra RAM and DX10/11 GPU features.

@BOLD
It does

It's ironic how in 2012 you might well have said that looks pretty good, but in late 2013 it now looks bad.

Considering it's basically on par with the PS360 versions, and that they likely didn't put any extra effort in, it looks fine, and as expected.

Since writing that I read a tweet from Treyarch saying that the shots look like stretched gamepad screens to him. Those shots look worse than BO2 on the Wii U to me, but after reading that I'm not so worried anymore. Graphics aren't everything but I expect better than BO2 considering it was a launch title probably developed on unfinalised hardware.

What about the splitscreen they had in Black Ops 2, where one person used the gamepad as his/her screen and the other one uses the tv?
I'm sure that's not just "generating minor map screens with minimal colours".

Even if it does, ps move pointer sucks. Feels laggy and slow as shit like wii pointer controls when done exclusively via motion plus instead of the IR.

IR like in Conduit 1 and Metroid Prime 3 are the top notch, lag free, best pointer controls I've ever tried in a game. 

I found Black Ops II on Wii U (With Wiimote + Nunchuk) to also have some of the best controls. Very smooth.

Oh, if CoD: Ghosts supported Move on the PS4, I'd get that version. When it comes to CoD for me it's XO<PS4<WiiU<PS4+Move ;) It would be awesome if next gen FPS games supported Move :) Perfection.
