Wii U: A look at the graphics it can put out (lots of images)

Foliage king confirmed.

That zombie game was awful.

[QUOTE="bobbetybob"]I think one drawback it'll have graphically and something a lot of people are forgetting is that it's gonna be using X amount of processing and graphics power to render and stream whatever's happening on the controller, the controller has no hardware of that sort in it at all, so if you have a game with a big 3D load on both screens (like Pikmin appears to) then that's going to take a toll on the main screen graphics.bonesawisready5

Don't you dare apply logic to a game running in 720p/1080p on one screena and 480p on another screen at the same time while showing 100+characters on each screen.

lol

Its becoming harder, and harder to believe the wiiU is a next gen console.... more of an add on to the current gen, like kinect or PSmove

Poor graphics.....i don't see anything that the PS3/XBOX360 can't do.And many games on the PS3/XBOX360 looks better than this.AtariKidX

i can't believe im actually agreeing with u

Higher rez Pikmin screens

Yea, I find all the people saying Pikmin 3 looks bad distressing for the future of the industry. Everything else you call crap if you want but Pikmin looks really good, especially when you consider 100+ things are on screen at once.

Nothing special there. Pikmin has a lot of post-processing features like depth of field to really make the picture look great.

You don't always need high res textures and polygons to make something pretty. Developers use a lot of post processing to make images look really good. System wars calls it cutting corners, developers call it game development.

Pikmin looks nice, but none of it looks next-gen to me.

Quite frankly, I think Watch Dog was the most visually impressive game of E3 so far.

Also, Tomb Raider looks better than most of those Wii-U titles....

Really? Please provide details.

I can't wait to see Zelda, Metroid, Smash Bros, a new Mario, Mario Kart and F-Zero in HD!!!!

Those arent' very impressive, look like a 360/PS3 could put out those visuals.

Graphically I was disappointed. We didn't see any "realistic" titles which really pushed the Wii U. I expected this, but then I also expected Retro's title to blow me away and they were nowhere to be seen, no Zelda teaser or anything. So I am left with stylised graphics which is hard to judge.

Zombi U looks like a late 360/PS3 game, but at launch that may not be bad, shows there is a lot of room for improvement but it goes in line with the 1.5x or 2x Xbox 360 rumours we had for a while.

Just to help everyone remember....

A few lunach tittles from this gen...

No it doesnt, and theres no way you could logicaly say that by the low res videos either. The fact is the Wii U is on the same level as the PS3/360 much like the Wii was on the same level as the orignal Xbox and Gamecube. It may be a little more powerful but at the end of the day it will be delevering the same quality of visuals which is very disapointing. To think Nintendo is content with releasing hardware thats 6 years behind current tech is disturbing and i hope its not the way the industry is heading or tablets really will take over.

Your logic is flawed.

If the Wii U is 50% more powerful than 360 like people say, then it wouldn't be a Wii 1.5

It would be a Wii 10.5

You're smoking crack.

LOL will all of you finally admit that WiiU is nothing more than a WiiHD tech-wise now? Jesus, they look like Wii games alright. Nothing even close to 360/ps3runbleduck

Actually, it's "360 turbo", tech-wise.

For launch games they aren't so bad, but as time goes I expect much better and it'll be way above 360 and PS3 afterwards.

No it wont, Its not like its using some radicaly diffrent architecture the hardware itself is very simlar to a xbox 360. Will they look a little better ? Yea but it will be about the same diffrence that the wii had over the xbox which is not much.

Gen refers to time frame not power. Wii U is the first system out in the next gen like it or not.

I dont understand why people are so amazed by pikmin graphics.. i really find them nothing special.. if they had to come out on xbox 360 or ps3, it wouldnt even stand out graphicly. We see things like uncharted and gears of war on these consoles.. and those games looks so much better then pickmin in my opinion.

It doesnt look bad, it just looks normal i guess. Nothing special. But it is a big upgrade from wii graphics.. i'll give you that.

Also mentioning the amount of characters on screen doesnt make it impressive as they are fairly simple models.. now go look at the new hitman game and the amount of models on screen in that game.. now that's impressive!

Wii 1.5 confirmed nothing here looks better than Halo 4, Gears 3, Killzone, Uncharted, TLOU, WDogs etc.

So much for it being next gen SMH

Too many WiiU threads, lets keep it in the sticky please.
