Looks like better implementation of FXAA as well for Wii U, slightly smoother edges. Most noticeable in the arched window frame in the first set, and then the water towers on the left and bottom spikes of the centre building in the second set.
You can see that whole building on the Wii U version is much cleaner and more detailed. Of course Rocksteady have changed quite a bit there which would help, but it does look better.
Its closer in quality to the PC vers...
If only it was that easy. Combinations of release timing, price and reputation along with games equal success.
Dreamcast had a raft of quality games, but it was buried by the anticipation and hype of PS2 (which WAS a more powerful machine don't forget and Sony played on that as well as all the mags and press), which itself was out well over a year before Gamecube and xbox and had a major jump on them. It finally got its killer apps as they arrived.

Lego City Stories looks utter poop. Talk about aliasing, jaggy city stories more like. This is a great idea of how WiiU is not really that fast, because the home console version is only for WiiU hardware. Which clearly isn't doing any anti aliasing to save its life
I like how they used a high end PC shot of project cars as if thats the sort of visuals we are guaranteed to be seeing on WiiU. Dream on...
Thats what made me laugh about Reggie's comment, questioning the attractiveness of their rivals.
"I think in the end, the consumer choice is going to be... Once I buy my Wii U, that satisfies my Nintendo cravings and my cravings for all of these other great multi-platform franchises, then what is the role of a competitive platform? It's going to have to live on the backs of some sort of unique proposition, or unique content."
So what he is s...
No it doesn't. All i see is a whole load of ports or rehashed titles out months ago on alternative, cheaper systems and games pencilled in for 'launch window' which could mean anything up to 4 months after the machine actually hits the shelves according to Nintendo themselves. http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
Everyone expected to be a...
Leaps and bounds? From wii maybe, but not from 360 or PS3.
Thats not next gen, thats present gen, the one we have had for years. Looking at screens and touching them to control games isn't next gen either. Where you been the past 5 years with DS and then the new handhelds, every smartphone in existence etc.
I dont know what the major attraction would be to buy this on launch. Fils Aimes has already claimed some 'launch window' of months and months...
Yep crytek should go and explore the limit of pc hardware again. I wanna see it 2. Then just like you said it can be moved over to a new console later as a launch game. Least they got everything in place and a ready made game for next gen consoles.
I dont think crysis 2 was anything but a poorer game because it was made for console. Cant help shrug off the feeling the whole game would have been a lot better had it not been designed for consoles in the first place.

I still think no matter what they do to it it is going to feel like you are holding a tea tray or a big hardback book sideways. Ergonomics mean nothing?
Besides this humans only have 2 hands and short thumbs. It'll be one of those things where devs have to choose to use the normal controls or dump a load onto the screen, because you won't be quickly using both together in a game particularly easily. The screen is much larger than a DS.
I just stil...
Its possible but not very likely that it could be a 16 core AMD or late 2013 POWERPC but they are expensive and still a long way off in the POWERPC case. A 16 core AMD Opteron system is about matched by an 8 core Intel Xeon system thats half the cores!! and badly crapped on by a 12 core Intel system.
Not surprised there is scepticism because it sounds like a typical overblown rumour taken well outta context. Like for example even CELL is often called a 9 core CPU with 8 SPE...
7670 would have been quick in 2007. By the end of 2008 it would have been midrange at best. Been 4 years since 7670 was considered speedy. 5 this time next year if the console launches by then.
GTX570M is nothing like the desktop part, in the speed sense. Compared to a desktop GPU its about as fast as a Radeon 5770. Just under half as fast as the desktop GTX570.
Good for a laptop but not great by desktop standards. But then laptops have tighter thermal constraints so they can never be as fast as up to date desktops.
Yup a new halo game promised to be in HD! Its just like 2007 has come finally! :D Although i did play Halo 2 in 1080p on PC nearly 5 years ago.
This better have good AA. I mean it should have 2x MSAA absolute MINIMUM although they probably copped out and went FXAA.
Halo's trademark art style of straight edges and geometric shapes are crying out for edge smoothing.
No matter, 343 have the opportunity to breathe new life into the seri...
Vulcanproject knows what he is on about. You dont suddenly get native 1080p captures from games that run in less than 720p.
You dont suddenly get perfect anti aliasing from games that have as good as none.
Dream on kids. Developers and publishers love a bullshot, they love to punch out shots never from actual gameplay. Halo games more than most. It is obvious none of those are from proper gameplay.
Sony ditched backwards compatibility long ago. Dont forget that most Ps3s sold do not play PS2 games. Really i think they realised it was expensive and not really that important to the consumer. Well how can it be, if everyone (you lot) still bought a PS3 that didnt play Ps2 games?
People will moan for ten minutes, then shut up and buy the new machine anyway. You know you would. Which is why sony should concentrate on that now.
People should just get over...
The Enzo Ferrari is 10 years old this year.....We are due to see the brand new full far FXX inspired Ferrari hypercar (F70) this year.
Whats the big deal? Buy this game, give it to a girl you like and let her win, she will give you a blowie as thanks.
I'm off to the shops for release then. Sorry i mean, ON release. :-D
Kinect has been nothing but disappointment for me from the get go. Microsoft have not delivered what they promised they would with this and it has been over a year to at least see something close to a 'killer app' - but the fact is, there are none.
For the cost of the thing and the amount of PR dollars shoved into it telling us how fantastically new these experiences are and how it will extend the life of the machine....after a year of this with no worthwhile exclus...
I think it is completely undeniable that PlayStation was the first console to comprehensively cater for a more mature gaming audience that had typically grown up with Nintendo and Segas. I count myself as one of the many millions in this category, Playstation was right there, at the perfect time to take advantage of this audience looking to move on and upwards from Mario and Sonics.
Grand theft auto was also one of the first mainstream massive selling games, really huge gam...
It is true. Time to really exploit the system is time Nintendo don't really have if we are expecting brand new machines considerably more powerful in less than 18 months.
Nintendo will unveil their best looking brand new Zelda or Mario title at E3 next year exploiting more power from Wii U.......Just as Microsoft and Sony demo ridiculous looking next gen games on vastly more powerful hardware.
Doh!
