It does more than just that:

360/PS3 versions don't handle a candle to the next gen versions.

Could you imagine trying to get that dynamic boarding simulation to work? Sweet god people are smart/patient.

My gf is playing Contrast and it is bugging out trying to jump on a box.

Game looks good, better than either the Xbox 360 or PS3. Run's smooth for the most part, minus some scenes that involve alot of NPC's.

As for the jump from AC3 on the Wii U.

Where are you getting the idea that AC4 is better on Wii U? Something tells me that you haven't given the PS3 and 360 versions a fair shake.

Killzone looks INSANE. So sleek. I need a PS4.

Any other DC Universe Online shots?

What would you like to see?

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (PS4)

 

[googleplex]

First off Wii U is next gen(technically it's current gen now along with Xbox one & PS4) and secondly if you are going to disregard the Wii U, the lightning is the last thing you should be dismissive of. It is capable of amazing lighting as Pikmin 3, Mario 3D World, Nintendo Land and Mario Kart demonstrate.

The problem with Assassin's Creed is that it is a cross gen game so the only improvements you can expect are resolution bump, better IQ and improved texture quality.

Not even. Wii U is last Gen along with PS3 and 360,

No it's not, but let's keep this useless discussion out of here.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (PS4)

Pretty shot! Turn the HUD off next time though. That looks nice!

 

[RoombaDance]

...but it looks like crap. They are taking a good art style and shitting on it with these balls quality and overly used shaders.

It was pretty much the trademark lighting style for Super Mario Galaxy, and I thought it looked good there, giving an otherworldly space lighting effect. But Mario Party 9 seems to have started a trend of applying it liberally to everything in the Mario universe.

Pikmin 3 seems to use the effect to make it easier to spot lone Pikmin, but it can hurt the aesthetics in some screens. A better application in the game is when they use it to highlight objects you are selecting.

3DWorld looks to be a bit of a mixed bag. They're overusing the effect, but it seems to be mostly in the stages that are full of lava or otherwise supersaturated with soft lighting. It looks nice in moderation, and can add a bit of a magical feeling to the art, but you don't want everything glowing like it's radioactive.

AC4 (PS4)

Wow, there's a new Sim City from Ubi? Looks great!

Theme: Reflecting on some fun moments!

The flames do drop a blob shadow lol - anyway, the game does look so nice. I predict I'll play more Mario on Friday than PS4

 

[Windom Earle]

Where are you getting the idea that AC4 is better on Wii U? Something tells me that you haven't given the PS3 and 360 versions a fair shake.

The usual Wii U cycle is:

- Nintendo fans claiming superior Wii U version
- DF comparison shows it's inferior to PS360

Let's see how that turns out, but i find it amusing that people still believe in Wii U multiplatform gaming.

There is a stack of Wind Waker ED's in a shop where live... they are sitting there for weeks now, nobody seems to buy them. I will adopt one after work!

awesome it was a little tricky getting that shot because i couldn't get out further past those bars on the sides, but i got it about as good as it could. it was very pretty.

I'm playing MostWanted now on PC (with my old HD6700) and while it's 30fps it looks a lot better than those wiiu shots.

It has 360/PS3 geometry and PC textures. Not sure what the resolution is, but it's obvious the PC version would look better.

Interesting.

Photomode shots shouldn't count for this thread imo.

If that isn't just the perfect revealing of how you see this thread: a competition.

It's... Almost as if... And bare with me here... Almost as if PCs are more powerful than consoles.

In fairness he did compare PC to the most powerful console around.

I don't want photo mode shots either... because I want to see what the games actually look like.

Think you missed the /s off the end there...

 

[Aklamarth]

Jeez guys you're so touchy.......

It was just a observation. I wasn't actually implying anything. The screenshots caught my eye because i "drove" trough the same areas 2h ago.

 

[Seanspeed]

I don't want photo mode shots either... because I want to see what the games actually look like.

As long as you know they are photomode shots, I don't see what the harm is in it. The PC screenshot thread has all sorts of downsampled and effect-ridden shots and people are fine with it there.

If you don't look at this from a competition aspect, but merely a place to see pretty screenshots, there's no reason to disallow this.

 

[Sendou]

So if we allow Vita... Do we allow 3DS too?

 

[EatChildren]

I don't see photomode shots as a problem if they're taken with tools bundled with the game and not promotional/tech shots distributed by the publisher/developer. And I'm okay with photomode shots because this thread does not serve the purpose of a pissing contest between in-engine playable visuals between platforms.

So if we allow Vita... Do we allow 3DS too?

3DS has no capture tools, though I know you can buy them. I was going to wait and see how Miiverse is implemented, because if it's like the Wii U then screenshots will be shareable. And in that case a Vita/3DS photo thread can be given life.

 

[Phazon]

I don't think there's an easy way to make screenshots of most 3DS games?

That's not even called the PC screenshot thread. It's called the high-resolution PC screenshot thread. And depending on the rig and game, you can possibly play those bullshots.

I think Miiverse is going to allow sharing screenshots in some games but not all. Besides some games like Animal Crossing already support screenshot sharing even if the compression is pretty harsh. Let's hope the 3DS Miiverse screenshots are nicer to look at than that. When this happens I think Vita/3DS/iOS/Android screenshots thread might be a decent idea.

Of course then there are capture cards but I doubt we have too many users that own them. I understand they're quite pricy.
