Digital Foundry.

There are like 2 Wii U ports that aren't half-assed. (Trine 2 and Need for Speed)

add Tekken to that list. And so what? games dip a little bit of frames so that means is half assed? Sounds nitpicky. Why cant people just admit that they are not interested in those games instead of trying to play the victim? PS3 games ran worse intially but people still bought them.

If games don't show graphical improvement on a system with twice as much RAM, despite devs like Criterion and Frozenbyte proving it can be done, then it's not a technically competent port. And I can accept some minor framedrops, but the kind we see in Blacklist, RE: Revelations, Arkham Origins, etc, there's no excuse for that. I don't know about you, but when a company tries to sell me a sub-par product, I'm less inclined to buy it.

And maybe PS3 owners simply had lower standards?

Or maybe pS3 owners just wanted to play those games. Where as WI U owners not so much. Just admit that you werent that interested ot play them in the first place. YOu are putting way too much stock into a the Wii U HW, the double ram thing reminds me of the whole  power of the cell nonsense Sony was spouting look how that turned out. YOu were never inclined to buy it, stop. Some are just looking for excuses for why the games flopped. And lets not bring up NFS like its some benchmark its not. It doesnt look that much better than the PS36o versions for one. and two it not even that demanding. You wanna compare that to open world and action games? come one. 

Lets say they did run better would they have sold better? not by much not PS360 numbers or even PS4 xone so again whats the point? And all these games you mentioned that are half assed are they playable? cause if they are playable they cant be half assed. What more do you want? just to say you have the better version in some console war?

PS3 owners were willing to buy shitty ports; I'm not. There are several  games I would have bought if they had been competently ported to Wii U; Assassin's Creed 4, Arkham Origins, Resident Evil Revelations...

Need for Speed I did buy bcause it was superior both technically, (superior textures, reflections, and framerate) and gameplay-wise. (Extra features that enhance the experience like swapping cars/time of day/traffic on the fly, co-driver mode, etc)

Just being "playable" may be enough for you, but it's not enough for me. If I'm going to give a company my money, they have to damn well earn it.

they really werent that "shitty" most of them werent. and im SURE you would have bought those games. Sure you would have. ;)

being playable aitn enough for you? it has to be better than the others? why? what cant it just be on par? 

Not that it matters you dont have to worry about shitty ports anymore, you dont have to worry about ports period

I would have. They looked like good games. But I'm not going to reward them with my money for offering me an inferior product.

As for ports, I'm still looking at possibly picking up Watch Dogs if it's decent quality, and maybe Project Cars for my brother.

Ps3 ports were inferior to 360 and they still sold great, as for for wiiu ports the reason some ports are inferior is because wiiu/360/PS3 are in the same ball park when it comes to hardware, sure wiiu is over all more powerful but the difference is meager.

people keep ignorimg this


Its almost as if the average consumer doesen't care about relatively minor visual and performance differences. Especially when you don't have them side by side to compare.

Hard to believe!

Crazy right! It cant be that the Nintendo demograph doesnt really care about these types of games no! Even in GC days those versions did the worse. But they MUST have been crappy. Man some people love to lie to themselves.

BTW i might borrow your post whenever someone brings up this silly argument, its gold.

Why would you buy the weakest nextgen console and complain about ports being slightly inferior. Who cares as long as there playable enough



Davman on 19 June 2014

PS4 1.84 teraflops

Wii U 0,36 teraflops

Last generation Wii had bigger install base  and took zero ports of graphic demanding multiplatform games.

 

It's Nintendo's Fault ,  they decided to throw money on a tablet controller instead of creating a more powerful machine.

Because we're not talking about ports from PS4/Xbone, we're talking about ports from PS3/360. There is no excuse for those not to be better.
