That's a substansial downgrade, one of the biggest i've seen. Possibly bigger than Watch Dogs for example. Not surprised though, always thought X looked above what should be possible on the Wii-U's hardware.

Though i don't think anyone will scares of from buying it, as long as the scale and gameplay are preserved.

No but you seemed to be implying his books are oriented towards children.  Really, only one is.  And the others I mentioned can go toe to toe with most works out there in terms of handling big ideas and mature themes.  I just get tired of some people classifying Tolkien or other works as "not mature" just because series like the Witcher and Song of Ice and Fire are willing to be more graphic.  If that's not you, then my apologies.  I just detest that distorted idea of "maturity" that's going around, especially in gaming.

@AnthonyW86 Now that's some BS right there.  Worse then Watch Dogs?  The difference isn't even comparable on the whole.  The vast majority of the 28 minute presentation looks comparable or better than the trailer as a whole.  Just watch the....Actually, you know what?  Screw it.

I said the game and SCENE didn't have any decrease in quality. that SCREENSHOT comparison has only one thing with lower quality, wich is the floor texture, but we see the correct asset seconds later.

Yep. 99.9999% of the footage is >= what we've seen before, but people ignore it and use a few seconds of one cutsnece instead.

I can't believe there are people who record every step Nintendo does just to try and portray them in a negative light. The game looks great and the setting fantastic. You WiiU owners are spoiled

As the outdoor scenes have upgraded since early showings, Wii U clearly can handle it: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7215092

I just can't believe some posts in this thread. The game has seen some obvious upgrade in some areas, people are showing you these upgrades, with photographic material, but no, let's focus in one second of the trailer that looks worse. It's worse in some aspects, I'll give you that, but, it's way better in other aspects. To take - to give. This happens in almost every development of every game in the world. And no, it's not Watch Dogs levels, that is also obvious.

The 1080p vs 720p arguments are, in general, flawed. but this claim really takes the biscuit.

PResented better, artistically, but technologically a step backwards, if you'd like a detailed examination of this and exactly why even this pictures show a downgrade, i'd be happy to entertain.
