Forums - Nintendo - Graphical progress on Wii U so far

AZWification on 16 May 2015

Wow, Captain Toad looks pretty amazing compared to NSMBU! That also highlights just how plain and boring NSMBU's visuals are.

Is it true that Wii U hardware is better than PS3?
If yes why is there no game with better graphic than PS3? I mean there is no game on Wii U with The Last of Us or Uncharted 3 graphic. Even God of War 3 graphic hasn't been topped by Wii U (and God of War 3 is 2010). Don't understand me wrong, games like Bayonetta 2 looks good, but it could look much better if Wii U hardware is really better than PS3.

It's either two things:

(1) You never played on the Wii U 

                        Or

(2) You played third party game/s on the Wii U and not first party

 

I have never played "The Last Of Us" so I won't comment on the graphics on it.  Bayonetta 2 graphics will not disappoint.  Anyone tell you otherwise you shouldn't believe.  The PS3 couldn't do Bayonetta 2 graphics.  Trying to match the PS3 with the Wii U is just wrong in many ways.  For starters, it would be better to compare the Xbox 360 being it had the most better looking third party support.

I have seen first party wii u games and I agree with him.  I find god of war 3 and TLOU more impressive than bayo 2.  I feel like there is an hide potential waiting to be used.  Maybe the priority of 60fps has something to do with it.  maybe is the artstyle

I'm not sure the SEGA one counts; the top pic is a remastered PS2 game :p

If you read the Tachikoma´s analysis about Xenoblade Chronicles X:

" There is no doubt in my mind though, that without either a reduction in draw distance, a reduction in unique textures/meshes or some extremely clever streaming technology, this game would likely be impossible to make for the PS3 or Xbox 360, at least not with the same overall visual flair."

very pleasing to the eye.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Honestly considering the Wii U is less than 1/3 of the PS4 hardware wise, the graphics are pretty darn good in some games. Also goes to show how much is still left on the table for the ps4 & xbox 1.

Four/Five-times the power, while noticeable, won't do much today.

There aren't particularly big graphical jumps in any of your pics really!


Story of this generation so far. But improvement is improvement. 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Actually, I think the WiiU is half the size of the PS4 and about a 1/3 of the XB1

Haha 1/3rd?  Try 1/6 - 1/12th.


450 gflops vs 1800 = 1/4

3+1,3 ghz vs 8x1,6 = 1/4

2GB Ram vs 8 Gb Ram = 1/4

 

Pretty much 1/4 the power.
