Do you like what you've seen so far from Wii U's visuals?

ROFL

"But guise, Mario Kart is shown off-screen, off-screen always looks better!"

"Hey guise, look at this! The game looks even better cuz this is crappy off-screen footage!"

Man, you should seriously stay away from these topics.

PS: where did the track texture go in that MK footage you have been showing? Not compressed to hell, you say? Representative of actual graphics, you say?

The quality of that 2nd Son video is horrific, which is why I posted it despite being off-screen/cam footage. It's also 720p when the game runs at 1080p. Posting a direct feed version would only further cement my point.
 
No way did Galaxy ever look as good as this screenshot!!!! Is that from Dolphin????

No, I think it's an official screenshot of the game when it was coming out. Naturally it'll look good. I'm just showing you how I feel they could have done more with 3D World especially after the time they put into Galaxy. There's almost 7 year gap and huge Wii to Wii U spec difference.
 
wasnt looking for artifacts or anything, but the game trailers on the wiiu eshop look great. maybe try grab stuff from there?

Someone said last night he was going to rip them and post them here. I'm waiting for them to make a final judgment. I'm also going to play Kart and 3D World at Best Buy tonight.
 
It's also limited in Wii U. Look at the size of the field in which you can traverse at one time compared to Sunshine or Galaxy. In sunshine, you could have the entire level in one shot with great draw distance.

You're basing this on what, 5 minutes of video?
 
The jump from Mario Galaxy 2 to New Super Mario World is less substantial than the jump from Sunshine to Mario Galaxy, imo. Very disappointing. MK8 is what I was expecting the new 3D Mario game to look like.
 
You can prefer X's artstyle but from a technical point I would love to see some evidences.

Seriously? There's better screens for games on the wii U that aren't X. To be fair to TLOU, I'll let you find screens for X since they're all downsampled.
 
Why do I need to work? You're the guy who claimed that X destroys Last of Us.

trailer
http://youtu.be/APWTJMyM4qg

The X trailer does have some very lazy parts like the empy and low polygon town at 0:53 or all the jaggies at 0:20 for example.

This is what I mean. The trailer is compressed as hell. How can Nintendo even put this on their official YT-Channel?
It is really hard to get a clear view of the visuals with such a compressed video.
 
X and TLOU are pretty apples and oranges. TLOU is very dense, and X is all about scale and vast landscapes which it has shown to be very effective at presenting.

To me, the Wii U games look great. I have no complaints. I don't think technical limitations of hardware, including Wii U, are really a problem anymore. Games will look amazing if the talent is behind making them look amazing.

Which is why there's no reason Wii U can't have a good run with proper games, marketing, and pricing.

Well, it's really impossible to judge various graphic effects or texture quality.

Though the things I pointed out are pretty obvious.
 
X isnt a finished product, but The Last of Us is.
I'm not saying it looks better, it doesn't look as good as X. Just saying X doesn't have AA, either. Looks like most of these Wii U games don't have AA. Kart has really bad aliasing, for example. I want to see direct feed screens and footage of X at 720p.
 
Rayman and Monster Hunter are at least. Granted they're not the most demanding games, but it's certainly possible to render in 1080

The screenshots on Nintendo's press site for Wind Waker are native 1080p. I'm not sure they claimed 1080p for anything else, but the other games have native 720p screenshots (except bayonetta which has bullshot AA)

I believe both Wind Waker and Smash Bros were confirmed 1080p.

Resolution is not what is surprising me though. 60fps is making me smile more than resolution. :)

That is because most of these Wii U games still have 6+ months to a year+ of development left.
 
Why are these pics 720p with a ton of aliasing then

Mario kart is the best looking game with a great art direction, but do we have any other comparable games on ps360? you can't compare it with Forza or Motorstorm


Bayonetta has an impressive scenarios but looks a current gen game to me.

Idem with X, if compared to GTA V...

Of course Wii U is slight more powerful in certain aspects, has more ram and a better gpu.

All games that arent finished in development.
 
Nothing I've seen on WiiU looks better the what's on PS360.
 
Ouch yeah, that doesn't look as good as people are hyping. It looks great for Wii U hardware but the deficiencies are plainly obvious.

You guys act like X has been released in its current state. Of course there are going to inconsistency in an unfinished product. The point that cant be refused is the progress the game has gone through since it was first shown and now. Its only going to continue to get better as the game gets closer to being complete. Blows The Last of Us away in its current state says alot.

Haters gonna hate though.
 
Gameplay over visuals. But having said that the wii u does seem to have its unique graphical look that looks really polished.

I'm judging by what we have now in front of us not what we dream it will look like down the road. That's perfectly fair. Another year of development isn't going to make the game look next-gen, regardless. That video looks great but it's not comparable to most of the next-gen games we've seen.

I'm not going to get into the back and forth that's been going on as to me Wii U is finally shaping up to be a mid-gen console from a power perspective. But I will say the point you are making at the 20 sec mark is rather unfair.

Infamous has noticeable issues with that as well.

Wow that looks insane, click the gear to watch in 1080p.

Closest comparison would be F1 Race Stars. Caroony art style and runs at 60 fps on consoles.

Cause there was no improvements from when X was first show till now? Cause if that was the case then you would have somewhat of a point. However, this isnt the case. Its very comparable to most next gen games we have seen. It looks better than Deadrising 3.

Completely agree.

That's not something to crow about.
Watch that Infamous video in 1080p, looks far more impressive, blows X and its plain flat lands away. Lighting, textures, animation, geometry, polys, everything, and it's running at almost double the resolution.
 
I think both X and Mario Kart look wonderful and on par with many early Xbone/PS4 titles. But the general graphics fidelity of the latter's titles will improve exponentially in the coming years. Can I say the same for the Wii U? Over six years later, was there ever a title on Wii that looked significantly better than Twilight Princess?
