Forums - Nintendo - Developers are pushing the Wii U to its limits!

Someone does a thread about the way developers push the wiiu limits and people comes just to remember everyone that wiiu is weaker than the rest. Oh really? :O We had no clue!

That's what happens when you compare wii u games to ps4 games through claims like "this could pass off as a ps4/xbone game." People disagree with that. More comparisons arise.

Had there been no mention of other consoles in the original topic, I doubt you would see people making these comparisons

"This could pass ff as a Ps4/XBO gme with some improvements"

And indeed is truth, If Fast Racing Neo and Xenoblade Chronicles X were upgrade to 1080p they would already look like Ps4/Xbo games, not the best looking games of the systems, but they wouldnt look out of place either.

I think, you meant ps3.

 

Maybe you should see what a ps4 game looks like before making silly comments like these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHQFODsdGDU

From Digital Foundry:

"With a resolution upgrade, it would look just as fresh on PS4 or Xbox One and holds up well despite running on less powerful hardware". That silly coment does not sound so silly now ;)

You act as if a "resolution upgrade" is trivial. Most last gen games would hold up against ps4/xbox one games with strong resolution upgrades. That doesn't mean they are close to next gen games.

Any last gen game could pass off as next gen with improvements. Just look at GTA V. That doesn't really entitle the ps3 version of GTA V to be comparable to next gen.

I'm not arguing that wii u games look bad. Xeno X, smash, and mario kart 8 look great. But I'm not going to trick myself into thinking they are close to ps4 level graphics when launch games like killzone shadowfall completely outdo them

Yeah, i know this gen is the same shit with more pixels.

But that's the thing, the game looks like a Ps4 game with less resolution, I know the extra power to move it at 1080p is huge but the diference is just resolution, all the post-processing effects, the textures, the framerate, all could be the same in this case because they already look damn good.

Those games would look miles better visually on PS4 and even better on PC.

Yes, but guess where these games aren't.

I agree, to an extent.

I believe only Zelda U, Bayonetta2, Monolith Soft & Ubisoft have been doing that. The Black Flag is the best port on the system imho.



everyone always goes on like graphics are the only thinf that matters. Id rather play a great game with lower graphical detail but a steady frame rate, than an average game with amazing graphics and technical detail. To me xenonlade chronicles x looks much better, despite its technical aspects being lower, than some other ps4 games simply because of its great art direction. That beats a lot in my opinion. I own a wii u, a ps4 and a gaming pc.

Not true at all. I'm not going to go into this topic because then we would stray too much from the original. But if you think this gen is defined by more pixels, you are wrong. This gen has a lot more going into it involving better AI, Virtual reality, procedurally generated areas, social integration, cloud processing and better online interaction to list a few examples. This gen isn't defined by a quick transition like the 2d to 3d transition, but compare some games like no man's sky to games on last gen, and you realize just how far we've come through this one generation.

That can be said for any last gen game. This speaks less about how great FRN (or any other wii u game) is, and speaks more about how this gen is focused on other changes (such as the ones I mentioned above).



And Zelda U will probably be most beautiful game on console at end of next year that will also push Wii U to its limits.



"Now that we're in 2015, we're even starting to see games that could pass off as PS4/ Xbone games if there was a few minor improvements made."



Yeah, I beg to differ.
