ICStats on 10 April 2014

Maybe will be flamed by the gameplay police, but I think BTS has the most realistic characters on console so far.  This is the only game I've played where at one point I had to check my eyes to confirm it's in fact CG and not real people.

I'm hopeful on PS4 we'll see character quality like this become common place.

Ps3 can not match sm3dw at all. I own ps3 360 and wii u. Wii u has the better graphics on 1st party end of.

Disagree.

SM3DW is very nice in the non-photorealistic category.

PS3 has a lot more top photo-realistic games that Wii U.  It's not that Wii U couldn't do better graphics than PS3, it's just that it doesn't have the games to show it off compared to the best of PS3.  Uncharted 2 & 3, TLOU, Beyond Two Souls, GT5, GTA V, MGS4, GOW3, Killzone 3, Tomb Raider spring to mind.

I'd hardly call God of War "realistic". If we're going to stretch the definition to include colourful fantasy, I'd volunteer Trine 2 Director's Cut on Wii U, which was confirmed by its developers to be beyond the PS3 and 360's capablities.

God Of War III and Ascension do have photo realistic graphics.

BTS is a good looking game, but it uses alot of tricks to make it look more complex than it is in reality to begin with... It is linear and has alot scenes that are cramped up or are using metroid prime scheme of level design. BTS is QTE game for majority of time. The way it is set up proves that they as less demanding actions on screen to add as much as possible in detail. Your eyes and brain got punked ICStats... If they made BTS more open and interactive then you would get visual fidelity of last of us...

Ok i agree with this lets just wait until games like zelda hd and x release the  we can compare. For now i think we can agree sm3dw vs any ps3 platformer then mario wins

Well of course it would look better as gamers on PS3 weren't big on platformers. In fact it had only two AAA platformers - LBP and LBP 2.

It can be done on a PS3. 

Where's PS3 going to get an extra 500MB of RAM? Do they sell an expansion pack now, like with the N64? :p


It doesnt need extra RAM. PS3 already has games that blow MK 8 out of the water, both exclusives and multiplatforms. MK8 is a cartooney linear racer after all. There are PS3 games from 2007 that even look comparable like this (GT5P and Ratchet and Clank TOD)

So you think Mario Kart 8 never uses more than 50% of Wii U's RAM? LOL.

Didnt say that. I said PS3 produces waaay more graphically impressive games with half as much RAM, and it did so years ago. 


To be fair, several years ago the PS3 was still on the market for half a decade, that's allot of time for developers to come to grips with the hardware, the WiiU hasn't had that luxury just yet.

As a 'next gen' hardware, it's supposed to have better looking games right out of the gate, like PS4 and PS3 did with their launch titles.

It's a very simple concept, guys. Neither side will get anywhere comparing Mario Kart to The Last of Us. I can't believe I even have to say that, it should be self-evident.

Except for the way everything glistens like it's made of plastic.
