Finally, PC is technically defeated (maybe for awhile) -From a PC elitist.

I am referring to this footage.

What do you think?

I think no PC games has rendered the same level of graphics yet.

It is a tech demo, so it doesn't really count. Remember the impressive PS2 tech demo with the ducks in the bath? No game ever really utilised any of that.

I really don't see how you came to this conclusion from a minute clip that doesn't really show anything.

A PC gamer could respond with "The Samaritan" tech demo Epic made. Its a tech demo and only shows half the story.

While I am looking forward to see what the Wii U can do, im waiting for some real gameplay.

Samaritan Tech demo says hi :D (since we're measuring with tech demos apparently)

Blast, someone said it before me! Anyway, a ton of tech demos are pretty as hell, but unusable in games. We still don't use the awesome hair that nvidia tech demo's have had for ~a century.

Shouldn't we wait till a game is out to judge it? Are we going with hyping trailers from the companies now?

I wish it was a real game though.

You got it all wrong guys! His argument is valid because he said he's a PC gamer!!!

A pc elitist wouldn't say this.TheGuardian03

Firstly, that's a tech demo, so it's not a good representation of how games will look running on the system. Secondly, there're Pc games that look better than that, never mind tech demos...

No, he's a PC elitist... But, for some funny reason, forgot Crytek tech demo...

Ughh I knew it would be something like this when I saw your name... does anybody remember that really sweet tech demo for the GC prior to launch? we never saw anything like it in actually gameplay. Anyway Im pretty sure that could be done on my pc, it was very impressive but if current hardware was well optimised it could be done.

LOL! That doesnt even look as good as the classic Chameleon nvidia demo.

This is obviously a tech demo, and although it looks good, I can't help but feel that this is something that could have been shown as a tech demo for older PC GPUs.

And maybe that's not strange, considering the GPU of the WiiU (formerly Café) was supposed to be a Radeon HD 48xx equivalent, which is indeed a three year old card.

It looks good and all, but I think you should watch the tech demos made for current high-end GPUs before you jump the gun.

Nope hasn't been defeated like the other guy that new Unreal Engine Tech demo rapes the WiiUs one then again for a console it looks pretty damn good I wouldn't mind getting a console port from it.

Remember all the Crytec 3 demos?

If only a game could have visuals anywhere near that.

I can't believe this thread exists.

Listen: PC's have and always will be the pinnacle of graphical capabilities.

Witcher 2 looks much better than this even on medium-powered PCs. I don't see anything impressive in that video to be honest.

The tech demo looked good, but it's nothing beyond a reasonable graphics card like a Radoen 5670 or so. If you look in the distance in some shots, you can see shadows have been removed after a certain distance to ease up on the LOD.

First of all, OP, you're not a PC elitist. Infact you're usually the one who attacks the platform to stand out from the crowd and pretend to be unique. But putting that aside, that TECH DEMO, looked rubbish. ocstew

For a tech demo it's nothing we haven't seen before. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if WiiU gets the graphics king at least for a little while, it might not be as powerful as the latest PC but it's more likely to get a game fully optimized for it.ManicAce

The difference between this footage and PC tech demos is that we might be able to see this level of graphics in actual games. Noone will develop a PC game that would work on 580gtx only, because it wouldnt sell enough copies. But when every single Wii U is capable of this, games can be easily optimised to look this good. I mean - remember Killzone 2 footage that wowed everyone in 2005? Killzone 2 actually looked better than that.

I came in expecting my mind to be blown.

I left disappointed.

AMD Radeon HD 4870 tech demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzquM5Td6bM&feature=related

It's a tech demo. And I didn't see it in its full resolution glory. But place it next to Battlefield 3 ingame footage, and it's not defeating it per se.
And look at the size of that box. I keep saying that because it's telling us something.
Unless they found magic essence that box is either going to be absolutely ridiculously expensive and powerful or going to be a bit expensive and a mini-360 mini-ps3.

According to Fudzilla, AMD may have another design win for Sony's next console. There's a tight integration between IBM, AMD and GoFlo.

Unfortunatley that's just a tech demo. If it were a game it would be mighty impressive.

On tech demo levels that is pretty meh.ferret-gamer
