Re: Wii U
Further research suggests that the CPU is not as good as current gen specs so it's a proper mash-up of information. Also screen shots of something like Tekken Tag 2, seem to indicate there is a lack of AA and it looks no better than current gen versions! lolspeedlolita wrote:I'm sure that's just in terms of CPU core clock which is entirely redundant.

Discussions with 3rd part developers are suggesting that the Wii U versions of cross platform games *should* be better looking on the Wii but not by a massive amount. If all games are at a native 720p internal scaling minimum, that would be a good step forward I suspect.
We'll have to wait and see, but if I'm being honest I never expected the Wii U to be a techology disruptor.
COD will be a good "vs" comparison I suspect.

Re: Wii U
I don't think Nintendo were really aiming to have a "super powerful next gen console" when you consider the specs&price. It's Wii HD really, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

Re: Wii U
I saw a nice article about the Wii U saying about how Nintendo are trying to capture both the casual gamer and the hardcore gamers, Play black ops 2 on wii u or 360 ? mmm I think they may be stretching, But time will tell I guess
"Yeah lets all get ponys instead, wait no lol trendy cabs" Err I think you meant Ponies didn't you ?

Re: Wii U
Actually, the next PS will support 4k and hopefully video discs at that res.Neo_Arcadia wrote:i`m certain the next ps and xbox will deliver 1080p@60fps.kernow wrote:720p is fine for modern games, even the next gen.
IDK whether they can squeeze 4x the storage on a custom Blu-Ray Disc.
I did see something about a 200 Gb Blu-Ray Disc before, but that was an experimental estimate based on something they'd done so far, IIRC. I also read that there's a new video codec in the works that should help. Also they might not be upgrading the audio this time? I haven't read anything about the audio side of things and audio takes up a lot of space, so leaving the audio the same would save a lot of space. I.e. not 4x the audio channels or sound quality. Having the option of 11.2 channels or something sooner rather than later would be pretty good, though.
Now before you say "4k is more way off than the next PS": 4k is coming and Sony don't want the next PS to be outdated during its lifecycle. They may even want to kickstart 4k with 4k games; 4k is something Sony and other electronics manufacturers want to bring to sell more screens, video discs, etc.
Another thing to remember is that both the PS2 and PS3 sold a lot more due to their doubling up as DVD players and Blu-Ray Disc players respectively, a new "latest format" each time for people to get a new machine for. Also the PS1 was a CD player at a time when CDs had yet to become widely accepted as "the format" (it never really did in the end) and PSP had UMDs aswell as being a portable MP3 player and video player off Memory Stick.
1920x1080 is brilliant, but I'd like to have a really big screen and not see pixels, or just have a picture with more depth, as in you can't distinguish the pixels being smaller individually, but everything just looks more vivid and detailed.
I mean; you could have a screen twice as wide and twice as high and still look just as good as that previous screen

Re: Wii U
yes , i still have hopes for 4k video playback with BDXL , but i doubt it will support 4k for games , if so something like journey at best.

Re: Wii U
I'm hoping at worst it will be like the high res mode in Gran Turismo that was added in near the end of production, just for a couple of tracks, then made the whole game in GT2. They said that they thought no-one would be able to make use of that mode and it was pretty secret.
They have demonstrated GT in 4k twice already, running on 4 PS3s or something.

Re: Wii U
I keep my WIi for GC games (component), and the Wii U for Wii and Wii U (HDMI).
Although, I am not sure about buying the Wii U day one. Will see what happens.
