The WiiU version of Assassin Creed 3 looks about the same as the other versions

Only a couple of months before Sheep board their fav *gameplay>graphics* train. Gonna be like in 06-07 all over again lmao. AC3 and the rest looks bad (by bad i mean like 7y old systems) because WiiU is weaksauce, a weaksauce that rely on a controller to sell lol a controller instead of next gen features.silversix_

How can we board a train most of us never got off of. I haven't really seen a Sheep thread bragging about the WiiUs graphical capabilities. The only threads I see are Sheep threads talking about how similar they are (case in point, this one), and Cow/Lem threads talking about how bad they are.

So for a next gen system it's only keeping up with current gen?

Lvl 4 poster.... what a coincidence that you post like a 4 year old.

NES was 1 gen behind?

SNES was 1 gen behind?

N64 was 1 gen behind?

Gamecube was 1 gen behind?

sooo up until the Wii Nintendo stood toe to toe with its competitors in terms of pushing graphic fidelity... and now the story is "Nintendo is ALWAYS 1 gen behind"?

Grow up kid, you start gaming this gen or something?

On topic... I don't care if the Wii U is only slightly more powerful than the 360/PS3... getting some of my favorite franchises (Mario, Zelda, Metroid) in HD is more than worth the purchase of the system. But what do i know, I'm just a gamer, not a fanboy.

Dissapointing to say the least. The exclusives haven't shown drastic improvements so far either.

We should never judge a new console's visual capabilities by the 1st wave of multiplat titles... Let devs get more familiar with the hardware, specially 1st party devs and we'll start seeing better games (visually)..

Is this anything like how GUN a launch game for the 360 barely looked better than the PS2? Or is that ok since it was Microsoft?Nuck81

This. I fail to see why people keep forgetting the Xbox 360 came out in 2005 and the PS3 in 2007.

The year is 2012 people. If there isn't a clear difference yet, that's worrying

[QUOTE="CwlHeddwyn"][QUOTE="darkspineslayer"] We didn't have time to do this and make launch =/= LOLZ WIIU IS TEH WEAK AND CAN'T DO IT PERIOD. the fact it's a brand new platform and we already have games matching the 360 is a good sign.OB-47

I don't think Nintendo cares much about pleasing Microsoft and Sony console fans/owners, but are focused on their own fanbase. The displeased can complain all they like but it'll make no difference to the fans and the company.

There's not enough dev time, the console will pick up eventually. It's the same with any console, lauch games are rarely good, devs will get used to it 1-2 years later. rjdofu

But to be fair, there's always at least one game which show cases the potential of the hardware of other consoles at launch.

It's not a good sign that there is nothing show casing the WiiUs performance yet.

It seems people are having false hope that next gen consoles will feature a big jump in graphics + performance like the jump from ps2>ps3.rjdofu

I will continue to support Nintendo as long as they are the only console manufacturer who still places an emphasis on single player games, regardless of the power of the system. That said, it would be practically impossible for Nintendo to create a console in 2012 that wasn't at least a little bit more powerful than the 360/PS3. I have to wonder just how much power the screen on the controller sucks from the console's overall performance.PurpleMan5000

Aside from a few rare exeptions, all multiplats are idential on PS3 and 360. I don't expect the Wii U to be any different. I don't know why people just can't accept this.

The PS3 version of AC3 though will be the superior one because it has well over an hour of extra content. So if you own all systems like I do, then the PS3 version is the one you should get.

All versions are going to be priced the same, so why not get more for your money? But aside from that they are the same, so if you only own a 360 AC3 will still be good.

This is because the Wii U is not a next gen system, it is current gen one. Kind of like the Wii, it launched but it was really just a game cube with motion controls attached.

The Wii was not a next gen system, the Wii U probably won't be either. But I will still get it for Nintendo's 1st party.

What the OP just doesn't seem to get is the fact that the WiiU being able to play games that look "almost as good" as a 7 year old console is pathetic.

Sony said they do not care about being first, they only care about being the most powerful console with the best games. That is their game plan with PS4, it will over shadow the competition.

MS is more concerned with making Xbox a multi-media device first and a game system second. Nintendo is focused on just making their first party great and making cheap systems with new ideas, but not so much in power. This strategy seems to work very well for them.

I'm going with PS4 and Wii U, not interested in 720 for a number of reasons. Mainly not many exclusives I like and paying for online is just dumb.

Who is going to buy an inferior version of a game that has been out for several months? Who doesn't already own a PS3, 360 or PC to play it on?

Good thing launch games aren't indicative of future quality of games.

You're arguing against yourself and you don't realize it. WiiU isn't a huge technological leap and it's launch games still manage to look as good or better than the current gen consoles which are in their prime. I think you'll find the that PS4 and the next Xbox will have the same marginal improvement over the WiiU

What does it mean when a next gen console game barely looks as good as its last gen counterpart?Capitan_Kid

Considering this went into production after the PS3/360 versions (there isn't even a release date, yet), what was expected? They'll largely be using the same assets and everything... With a little work in tweaking for the controller.

Wait until full-release games at least a little after the release. Heck, should we take the first games released for the 360/PS3 as indicators of their top-graphics? That's the dumbest sh*t ever.

He's not.I believe that to.I just don't see 2012 high end PC parts being affodable for MS and sony.I'm not expecting the PS4 and 720 to be 20X more powerful then their predecessor, but at least 10X more powerful then the predecessor.
