Wii U Is 6 Years Late (7 When It Releases)

Graphics. PS3/Wii U/Xbox NextBox LOLSTFU Xbots. NextGenThisGenThatGenWhichGenI sBestGen? PeeSee PSP can't you see that my opinion is superior?

Back on topic though, you're wrong matey. Even if I could take a person with zero grasp of the importance of punctuation or grammar seriously, what you're saying is laughably ill-informed. Please don't post anything, anywhere, ever again.

This article had almost nothing to do with its title. The article was about game engines, but it really didn't say anything. It's almost like the author started writing before he understood what he wanted to say.

I wonder if the next gen will actually have another console war like this gen had? Its safe to say that the console war from this gen has ended a while ago. Yes you will get a few stray fanboys spewing metacritic scores and sales numbers but its no where near as bad as it was in the earlier years of this gen where almost every comment section of every gaming website or gaming related youtube video was an ongoing fanboy battle. There is barely anyone still making PS3 vs 360 videos and uploading them to youtube, nor any "discussions" on forums about the superiority of one of the consoles.

I wonder if it is because people just realized how retarted and pathetic they looked like to everyone else or becasue they just got bored? Either way the console war is arguably over. In the recent years it seems to have been replaced by a console vs. gaming PC war.

so It makes me wonder.... after all the crap that went down this gen.... will we see another war?

somebody is jealous of the playstation

I hope it's not Crytek's engine, it runs like shit and must be hard to program for seeing how Crytek couldn't get its flagship tittle, Crysis 2 to run properly on consoles - PS3 was sub HD and 360 has that disgusting grain bug and lines across the screen.

Gears 2 and Uncharted 2 have better graphics engines. Even rockstar engines are more impressive.

"The Next-Gen War Has Already Started"

yeah....on pc.

devs are deep in battle one uping eachother on pc, on console, everything looks the same since 2007-2008

720p, jaggies, pop-in, screen tear, low res textures, sure there are a few standoout titles that look good for 6-7 year old tech, crysis 2 xbox/ps3, uncharted 2, god of war 3, castlevania and...... and......???????

not much else

cannot wait for new consoles, i have had my 360 (actually it's my fourth one) since 2005,

2005!!!!!!

ps3 (second one, 60 gb fat dies about 1.5 years ago) I have had since 2006

they are dust collectors now, just like the wii, maybe take the ps3 out for demons souls once in a while, bought a way better quality bluray and now the ps3 just sits there.

@gypsy

are you high??

rockstar games, lol, your joking right?? Crysis 1 on low settings in 1024x600 looks better than ANYTHING rockstar has ever done!!

and uncharted 2 and gears 2 looked great 3 years ago, they look ancient to me now!

that uncharted 3 beta looks 5 years old!

Sorry Wii-U already won haters.

Yam,lol

How does uncharted 3 look 5years old.

Metrodx11 looks good, but not that good. A corridor shooter.

Crysis 1 looks good, but it's just trees man, and when it came out, people struggled with it.

Point is, alot of games that people play on consoles are not on the PC.

And seriously dx10 wii u. ROFL. Hardly worth talking about.

As for graphics yam.

Crysis is just pushing tree's man all day long. RDR was made with consoles in mind, as was GTA'S.

There's alot more going on in GTA then crysis.

The Xbox and PS4 are going to lose to ColecovisionX the next best console.........eh the WII U will be like last gen by 2014

i will quote the comment on the article page:

"It is precisely these engine designers who are the loudest voices calling for the so-called “next-gen”, machines, which we do not need. There is a lot of wishful thinking going on about the “next-gen” and their supposed power, which is being stoked up by vested interests such as those mentioned, aided and abetted by many journalists, who just want something to get readers excited.

In a world where most gamers do not know, or do not care, that the majority of titles that they are playing run at 720p, rather than 1080p, how much traction are graphics, which are only somewhat prettier, really going to have with them? Are they going to change the machine they play on or fork out hundreds of dollars for slightly better textures, shaders or more anti-aliasing? If they really cared that much about graphics, they would all be playing on P.C.s.

The game engine designers have got themselves trapped on a treadmill and are trying to hype up the importance of small steps forward in order to try and drag the rest of us into their obsessive, graphics-geek world."

i think it sums up what is happening very well...

If you believe in a "console war" then you already lost. Go back and make some YouTube videos about "how your system is better"

This 360 site is not helping to let this whole console war thing go. Lets just play games
