How Pikmin 3 has not been mentioned hurts my feelings tremendously guys...

Pics from Pikmin 3 Photography Thread and Does Pikmin 3 show off some of the Wii U's power?


And since we are talking future titles too:
Yarn Yoshi

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

 

[geordiemp]

Those are bullshots.

Most Nintendo PR shots seem to be 1440p from pixel counters at beyond 3D...

But people still believe those new Zelda screenshots with flowing grass and the PR shots and think that's what a WiiU game will look like.

^^^^ and it continues....LOL ^^^

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Every PC game?

Only if you force aa

 

[ugoo18]

These are all downsampled screenshots.

Huh?

There is visible aliasing in some of the screenshots such as in the Train and Dragon screenshot for example on the smoke and the railing as well as at the front portions of the train. There is also visible aliasing on Toad in the dragon screenshot.

Wow, must run out and buy a WiiU for that hidden Titan black inside...LOL.

Of course the screens are in game, but please post screenshots and not PR shots down-sampled from 1440p.

Its not fooling anybody

The Kirby one looks genuine - its got that blur background commonly seen - check the OP...

Dear me, Ubisoft would be proud.........

I think he was referring to the Yarn Yoshi and Kirby shots, which are downsampled bullshots.

Also Pikmin does not have good IQ, there is terrible Alising all over the place in those shots.

Dude, don't try to show the image quality of a game by posting screenshots that aren't even it the game's native resolution. The game actually has quite a bit of aliasing.

1440p..... what on earth

Pikmin 3 has been out for long enough with a plethora of screenshots taken straight from GAF WiiUs flying around (The Console screenshot thread is literally sitting there with direct feed screens) and you think that is downsampled from 1440p.

Fucking infamous SS. I don't think I saw a single jaggie while playing it.

Dead Space 3

couldnt find non bullshot and grabbed these off IGN's PS3 page so how accurate these REALLY are.. iono.
... but still i was actually super impressed with Dead Space 3 when i loaded it up from PS+ (crap game overall imo...) but it looks fantastic!

You're one of those posters i see, no point wasting my time then.

 

[RoadHazard]

I understand the PC crowd's instinct to come in here and assert how much better everything is on their platform than anywhere else, like they do in every performance/quality/IQ thread ever, but bringing PC games into this is sort of pointless. If you throw enough money at it any PC game can get amazing IQ (even if it is at 10 fps), so what's there left to discuss? Nothing. For this thread to have any purpose at all that stuff needs to be left out.

But yeah, Infamous SS looks pretty amazing. GoW3 was among the best in this regard last gen. And WipEout HD/Fury, of course.

 

[ascully]

Been replaying God Of War ascension recently, some of the areas look amazing.

What? Are you even aware that these are images taken from the game and uploaded to MiiVerse itself? You think Nintendo upscales it to 1440p? This is why I posted the GAF threads these came from lol.

Well even then, thread I snatched the Yoshi ones from had a legit artwork pic of Yoshi that people called out and they screencapped the I posted from a video so unless the demo as a whole at E3 was a bullshot then I'm not sure what to tell you. Same with kibry.

Would have been better to state some guidelines like, " you can't say every PC game on a high end machine" or "current and previous consoles only"

It pretty much will look like that or thereabouts.

I don't think my Pikmin 3 looks that good.

 

[GamingIsDead]

Anything sub 1080p is laughable and really shouldn't be in this thread unless you're running a 720p tv in 2014.

Ico on the hd collection looked good on ps3 one of the few 1080p games.

 

[boyshine]

The slogan for Wii U should've been "COLOURS!"

It looks sooo good.

 

[HyruleGuardian]

The people complaining that Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3 and other Wii U games don't look as good as on a TV screen as they do in these pictures have obviously never played the games, they look better on a TV than they do in the screengrabs.

 

[Caayn]

Lego Movie Videogame

There are jaggies everywhere, I wouldn't call that a clean IQ. To be fair it does look good in motion.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Them Pikmin shots are terrible. IQ is awful.

Infamous: Second Son has the best IQ I have ever seen on consoles.

I know what Pickmin looks like in game, I know what a bullshot looks like.

No way will it look like that - its beefed up worse than watchdogs.

Yes. Pikmin resolution is 1280x720. Your screenshots are 800x450, which gives them better image quality.

Nintendo are pretty conservative with their "target renders". The game will look (and by "look" I mean the art-style as a whole, not just the resolution) pretty much like that. Probably nicer.

Good pictures but a lot of them are PR shots...

Is the agenda here to post bullshots to try and fool people into thinking some consoles are better than they really are ?

Yeah ok...you and I are done here. Trying to educate me on Zelda when I show in-game shots of other games. And when Zelda does come out I hope you're still around to eat that crow son.

I know what Pickmin looks like in game, I know what a bullshot looks like.

lol not only did you manage to not use retail screenshots (For which GAF has provided plenty) from the released game, you also managed to use screenshots from one of the earliest builds of the game.

The crystal on the Armored Mawdad hasn't looked like this since it's reveal.

This is what it actually looks like, screenshots uploaded by me from my Pikmin 3 game on my WiiU to my minus account.

Feel free to try your luck again though.

Also props on the attempted credibility by using Beyond 3D. Have to look as legit as possible right.

 

[BGBW]

I know what Pickmin looks like in game, I know what a bullshot looks like.

Obviously not if you are calling user taken screen shots bullshots. If you want to say they are not a true representation of the game because they are shrunk then that's fine because indeed many of the shots in that Pikmin 3 thread were taken before one could upload web browser and Miiverse does shrink the resolution of screenshots. However bullshots they are not.

 

[Pifje]

Any game that isn't GTA IV:

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Looks better in screenshots, will look poor on a large 1080 TV

What the? No, you clearly have never played the game.

It's worth noting that you can do browser uploads of 720p games with next to no compression on places like Flickr

 

[Metalingus5150]

From the screenshots that people have taken on here. Infamous SS.

 

[Canucked]

All these screens look great. What is the definition of IQ that I'm missing? (Serious question as you're obviously debating something I'm missing)

 

[To Far Away Times]

Even if other systems pack more power under the hood, Nintendo's first party games often look much better. It's probably due to the lack of piss filters and motion blur, hitting the expected standard of 60fps and use of colors other than brown and gray.

High resolution, good clarity, lack of visual artifacts.

Ok. Good to know. From The Wii U Browser Screenshot Thread then:

Why do I need to upload a screenshot when I can just play the game?
It's a beautiful game, but I don't remember the game looking THAT good.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Any game that isn't GTA IV:

The hideousness that is GTA IV console makes the mods for GTA IV PC so much more fantastic. It's almost like powerwashing a muddy, filthy window.

Also, it's surprising that the PS3 version runs at a lower resolution AND framerate than the 360 version.

Hold up there, i like Nintendo's games as much as anyone but that doesn't mean Sony and Microsoft don't deserve props as well or should be downplayed.

They definitely look quite good but that takes nothing away from Sony or Microsoft's offerings visually. They might not be as colorful as Nintendo's games tend to be but "brown and gray" alone is doing them a disservice. Killzone SF for example is a visually great game to look at and it's far from "brown and gray", same with Infamous SS or Ryse in the case of Microsoft.
