I kinda agree. I just don't think the character models are big enough to hinder the landscape much. so the lower than average quality for the characters could be just lack of experience from monolith.

Well, by resources I don't only mean system resources, but development resources as well. The game has a budget and a (flexible) deadline, after all, and Monolith Soft is not a massive studio.

I don't think lack of experience is the problem, because Monolith Soft has loads of experience making unattractive character models. :P

Other developers used little to no effort on Wii U ports.

10/10 Made my day

OT: You know, to be honest, I thought the sports car looked horrible. Everything else was stunning, though.

The car is a bit anomolous, but in a slightly better quality image than was shown in this thread, you can see that it isn't quite as bad as it seems.  I think it might be a graphical glitch they are working on; for example, they and a shadow glitch on the skyscrapers in the earlier builds of Xenoblade Chronicles X that they have since ironed out judging by the latest footage.  So I wouldn't make too much of it myself. 



With its sprawling open world, this should be the first game to really show the benefits of Wii U's RAM advantage over last gen.
Sure, we've had a few games so far that used it for better textures and such, (Need for Speed for example) but the exclusives up to now haven't been very memory intensive.



The graphics look fine, maybe the character models dont look that good but considering the draw distance they arent that bad, as for everything else i do notice that the mountains and landscapes look more detailed and the water refractions are also better, but besides the graphics i just hope the theme musics will be as good as the first installemnt on the wii

And hope the new zelda will also introduce new themes that will become classics
