Ahahaha, what are you like 12 ?.
it's weird right? People have to be 13 or older to register in this site so I don't know what he's doing here?

Transformers prime lol
You're like a fail version of cyberheater lol. At least he's getting the console.
You want to show us how these games are all inferior then? Do you have various screen shots to compare each version?
For instance the Black Ops 2 pics above, shadows at a distance looks worse on WiiU, everything else looks better.

He probably had his parents pay $0.50 so he could register as a juvenile GAF-gold member.
Mine is on it's way from gamestop.com.
ooh that's cool.
Any reason why you're getting one when the ports aren't even up to par?
it's Nintendo's Next Generation Console.
New gadget lust. If ebay prices are good I may try and sell it, but I'll probably end up keeping it.

So, I can say again: And, unoptimized for "exotic" memory architecture shows it's ugly head.
Explanation for other low res shadowmaps:

Seems like it would be using the memory space as in intended.

The Wii U ended up more powerful than PS3/360 so it did pan out.
Whether people choose to deny that fact is another thing.
It did?
Don't be dense, it will be. It's only launch

It's pretty obvious you're set on your opinion and plan on ignoring facts stating the contrary like the message right above with an explanation
Good lord. Don't do this shit.

Isn't it more likely explained by the game engine and lack of time to switch to deferred shadow maps. Rest of the fidelity, in those images at least, Wii U takes a large dump on the 360 version.
Quaz is a pretty smart dude but I'm not really sure what he's saying there since it's broken English. Just that a lot of Wii games will be 720p with no AA?

isnt the wiiu running a different player on the pad?
Just a guess here but is that at exactly the same place it "chokes" on other systems by any chance?
I really don't even take you seriously anymore. You post too many rash things and then ignore anyone who calls you out on it.
No, it's by far the worst performing version of the game.
Everything I've said has been accurate and unbiased.

"2GB DDR3 800MHz datarate, I believe with a 64-bit wide interface"
Could someone elaborate?

Do you have a video of Batman by the way?, side by side with other versions would help since I've never played it.
While you're at it can you show me the comparison pics you looked at that drove you to make this comment earlier:

Was posted in the other thread. No idea how he could nail down a data rate, surely nothing there could tell him that info. Doubt it but I'm still interested in reading his article when it comes out.
Right where is the comparison video or the pics that made you claim Black Ops 2/AC3 ect were all inferior? As far as Batman goes I see various comments there. But I sort of lost faith in people's opinions of this kind of thing after the whole "WiiU game reel looks worse than 360 even though the games were running on 360" debacle, there was a very large list of comments there too.

IGN Review.

IGN review doesn't seem to harp on about framerate? Maybe GiantBomb's Wii U is broke lol. Hope for a patch otherwise.
His English isn't the problem it's your lack of technical understanding.
Edit: This reads as mean but it's the truth, sorry. What he wrote makes sense to anyone who understands anything about how the 360 works.
I didn't say the WiiU version was realtime. I don't have access to the game or any HQ feed to be able to tell. I can't say anything about it.
Where's the textures on Wii U at 1:11?
There are extra characters usually on the chips themselves that indicate the speed grade. PCPer didn't read all that was on the chip.
They're coming in a future patch.

Man, I love these excuses. And it's driver's fault that his Ford focus can't win on a track against Pagani Zonda.

Haha... ouch.
As for it looking "better"... the rest of the video didn't look convincingly better. Catwoman looked shinier, but that's because she has additional armor on... hence Armored Edition.
Arkam City gets random texture load problems from what I've heard. Though I've never played it myself.
Anyway from looking at the side by side the WiiU version certainly looks quite noticeably better in parts than the PS3 version overall and the lighting looks nicer in the video they compare to 360. I did see a couple of stutters on WiiU, though I also noticed a moment or two of serious slow down on the PS3 video that didn't happen at the same time on WiiU. From those comments you get the idea that the game is chugging along ay 10fps, ludicrous.
These are dynamic shadow maps, not pre-baked shadows, so no, they don't work like this. What you see on these screens is lower resolution of the shadow map, period.
Because Nintendo hardware is alive: it grows and improves over time.

I don't think anyone truly doubts that the Wii U will shine a lot brighter in a year or two... but I think most people are just disappointed it's not strong enough to show it right away... and if you don't care about Nintendo franchises the third party games aren't likely to ever look better than PS360...
Still, I'll say what I say in all of these threads... as long as Nintendo makes Mario and Zelda games, I couldn't really care less what hardware it's on or what other games are released. I know that's not good enough for a lot of people, but hey... the best 3rd party titles are going to be out on PC and PC will always beat consoles so... Yeah I went there.

So, tell us the real reason then.

Why wouldn't third party games built for the system not look better? Ignoring lazy devs (which EVERY console has) do you really expect most third parties to use only 20% of the system every time for the next 5 years? Just think about how long that is...
Its not just a different costume, the PS3 version shows a complete lack of any lighting on Catwoman. Her model also has less geometry, again not just because of the costume. Some more prominent reflections and slightly better looking ground textures in the WiiU version in the city as well. Some high res still pics would be easier to compare though.
So is every dev who worked on a Wii U launch game lazy?
Another to add to the list: Trine 2 seems to be missing some effects found on the 360 and PS3 versions.
What he's saying is if you look at the shadow right in front of the camera that isn't low resolution at all, only the ones further away are.
It's been answered before: Wii U is bandwidth limited. But there's a positive side to all of the drawbacks: it's very power efficient so it's probably the greenest console out there.
Make a list of them. Because devs said otherwise.
