WiiU not about graphics, but experiences

Blitz Games Studios design director John Nashbelievesthat too many people are spending too much time looking at Wii U specifications rather than the games and the entertainment the system will offer consumers once its released this holiday season.

I agree with this guy.People should focus on the entertainment value of a product instead of focusing with hardware capabilities because you can't play graphics.I know better hardware can produce somewhat better gameplay experiences at times,but I care little about graphics, but how the hardware can produce games I would like to play.

So what will they offer against the PC on launch :twisted:

Its the Wii all over again.

Not in terms of hardware capabilities unless the 720 and PS4 are like 15X to 20X more powerful then the WiiU which won't happen this gen.

Translation- 7th gen hardware.

Only to be fair about it, perhaps sheep will get some worthwhile games. It's too bad Nintendo's philosophy of cutting edge gaming includes gimmick devices.

so... underwhelming graphics it is then.

Seriously, every time Nintendo or someone comes out and says something like this about the Wii U ... it's like being told a girl has a nice personality. You're basically being preconditioned not to expect much of a looker.

All legit quality games are about experiences, not graphics...not just the Wii U. Also, Graphics are apart of the experience. Just as in game Physics. There is more to games than graphics, but graphics are important as well. It's easy to say Gameplay Forever!!!!, but Graphics are a huge part of the immersion. Why separate them? Why can't we have both? We can, the only reason to separate them is if you make a product that can't deliver expectations and people notice, then you try to shift discussion to Gameplay vs. Graphics instead of Gameplay and Graphics.

Two questions as you speak using phrases like "15x", "20x", "10x", "less powerful" and "more powerful", in other threads including this one.

1.) How much more powerful is the Wii over the Xbox, or GC, or PS2? I'm just curious what number you have? 2X? 4X? 1.5X? 20X?

2.) How much more powerful is the PS360 over the Wii in your estimation?

I can't promise an epiphany as you type the answers, but I hope one comes along. :P

everybody says things about the Wii U that are contradictory. The Wii U is power, not it's weak, no it's about teh experience!

You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] Yes it was. It was Nintendo at its second best. Because Nintendo at its best was the N64. An entire console that was carried entirely by its exclusives, all first party exclusives, and what exclusives they were. That was an incredible system. The Wii? Nope. There was no proper third party support, and the first party games were hit and miss, more miss than hit.charizard1605

The Wii probably is at least 1 to 1.5X as powerful as the GC, but I'm not sure about the Xbox since their fairly close to each other in tech specs.The Wii is about as powerful as the xbox maybe slightly more so it would be at least 3X more powerful then the PS2.The PS3/360 pretty much obliterate the Wii so most likely anywere from 15X-20X more powerful.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Um... what? There are a ton of great first party games on the Wii.DarkLink77

Menus and mini-maps now on your controller... teh experience.

A bunch of excuses and as we all thought the Wii U is not much more powerful than the current generation:|

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-08-30-how-powerful-is-the-wii-u-really

The Last Story. Xenoblade. Kirby's Epic Yarn. Metroid Prime 3 Super Paper Mario Punch Out! Metroid: Other M (fvck the people who are all "IT RUINED SAMUS' CHARACTER WAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" She didn't have a **** personality before) And then we get into the third party games. You buggin, son.

Wii U is about another garbage gimmick and hoping casuals eat it up.

This is good news. This is exactly what I want. I don't want another dumbed-down PC for a console. New experience. Yes Please :)ShadowDeathX

LOL "Experiences"

I hate that word in describing games these days.

It's keynote and executive speech verbage.

That's pretty much what every single game should strive to be, and should not be unique to Nintendo.

And it isn't.

Folks look at the specs so they can be sure that theyre not buying a pos, people look at phone specs pre purchase to make sure it's not a pos phone, same with pc's, tablets etc. Why should this console be any different? Yes some soccermoms and dumb fatties will buy it without thinking it through because it has a "tablet". It's a shame nintendo wont give you both graphics and experience, but choose to cash in by cheaping out and selling "experiences"

Isn't obvoius its gonna be the Wii of next gen, at least its setup to be.

Experience like the Wii? What a sh!tty experience. He pretty much tells us the system is weak and outdated by years... he wants us to look at games but what games? 360 ports? Every person spending money on a new system on which he'll be playing years should care what it has inside or else you would be buying a repacked GC every 5 years from Nintendo.silversix_

No one wants a console acting like a PC in hardware with nothing to differentiate itself.If you were buying a gaming PC you should care about what inside a console.
