Hardware Wii U has “more RAM" than X360/PS3 & really great processor

[Ace Overclocked]

Why is the Wii U being compared to six to seven year old systems?

The bigger question is, what kind of dumbass would release a system that is inferior to 6 or 7 year old systems? Even Nintendo isn't that stupid!

*chuckles* I'm sorry, I just had to, forgive me.

wii was stronger than any gen6 console afaik

Woooooow. Four rumours.
I'm sure I could find at least 3 times the amount of rumours saying the opposite (I just cba). Now unless you're deliberately trying to take this thread away from it's original topic I would stop trolling now.

lol, learn how to read, it's from one source
Didn't Guild teach you that in the other thread?

The thing is you insist on ignoring other rumours and believe the one that was front paged, but it's not like I'm surprised considering the profile picture you got there and your previous troll attempts on some Nintendo threads.

Some developers stated that the console is quite powerful and I think I would put my faith on that more than the one that was front paged from yesterday as the developers have the actual dev kit and are developing games for the Wii U.

If you remember E3 2011, you'd know that the Wii U is much more powerful as those visuals are good and I don't think a less powerful console can attempt to have such visuals.

Now please stop ruining threads with your trolling attempts and actually debate properly, because it's sick people like you that are ruining GBATemp.

Bad example. Those gameplay videos were actually footage from the PS3 and XBox 360 versions of those games.

PS3/Xbox 360 version of Zelda? You're kidding right?

That's not a game - that's a tech demo.

I can show you tech demo's far surpassing what you've seen in the Zelda one. A tech demo is a tech demo - it only shows graphical capabilities. It's hard, if not impossible, to reach them within games - they're just a showcase of hardware.

Ya, but it shows what the Wii U is capable of.

Ya, but it shows what the Wii U is capable of.

In a tech demo, yes. In an environment where the console would have to render 10 times as much enemies and run actual A.I rather then scripted motion, plus hold numerous other variables dedicated purely to gameplay and have more then just one map of one interior loaded up then the situation would look dramatically different.

When you have only 2 characters to render in 1 room, you can go crazy with resources, especially if their movement is fixed. In an actual game, it's not that simple.

i vote that all rumor threads be banned from this site since they only attract fanboyz warz

Side note: fanboys start fanboy "warz", not threads.

I didn't see anyone complain when I posted an Assassin's Creed 3 rumor on the front page.

It's called being mature, people should try it sometime.

Refresh my memory, has Nintendo made games that look lower in quality than there tech demos? Didn't they usually do better than what they first show?
Also iirc, didn't they said that the wii u tech demos were quickly put together?

There's a metaphor for this whole issue in there somewhere.

Why is the Wii U being compared to six to seven year old systems?

Same reason why the 3DS is compared to the PSP. No idea.

It doesn't matter how old they are. The 360 and PS3 have specs to compare to, and knowing the WiiU has better specs or what have you, then you get a clearer idea as to what those specs could be. There's nothing wrong with benchmarking.

No there isn't but its kinda obvious that a newer system will be stronger and better than the older one, depends on how much thats the problem here. I mean the WiiU is definitely stronger than the PS3/360 I mean thats 6+ years old but if its only by a small amount than thats going to be problems when competing with the PS4/new Xbox.

I don't know about the 3DS and PSP but i'm sure the 3DS is stronger seeing its newer but by exactly how much i'm more interested in.

I gotta agree with Foxi here, they did the same thing with the GCN tech demo, for Zelda. Even though TP surpassed that we didnt see graphics that good for a while (even though they are relatable to xbox graphics at the time )

 

[Gahars]

Tech demos are always better because you're creating a hypothetical demonstration of what the system could produce when put into full use. Actually developing an entire game like that is a completely different matter.

Remember the Final Fantasy VII tech demo from a few while back? Only a very small selection of games (if any) have managed to reach that level of detail in action, and the developers have had years to work with the system.

Edit: The difference, @Foxi4, is that techo demos are often completed in a matter of months. Full games are completed in a matter of years.

 

[Foxi4]

The tech demo for the 64 looked bad because it featured the first steps in full-3D rendering, not because the artists didn't try. Besides, it presents quite impressive reflections for such an early creation. The Gamecube demo remained unmached until literally the last breath of the Gamecube, that, and I'm conviced that Twilight screenshot is from the Wii version. As for the WiiU Zelda demo...

[yt]PPCw09-DNFg[/yt]

Don't remember seeing this level of detail on the PS3...

It's pointless to compare tech demos from the beginning of a console's life cycle, when given technology was not advanced yet, to games that were released many years later. The games released immediatelly after those tech demos are not as impressive.

 

[Midna]

You didn't own both versions of Twilight Princess, I take it. Graphically, they're completely identical, save for widescreen support. I don't know where you're going by denying that the quality of the graphics could be as good as a thumbnail screenshot. You can't even see anything.

Those PS3 tech demos are interesting though... The FFVII one is a remake of... a PS1 FMV. The PS3's FMVs got to that level of quality all right.
