Of course none of the U launch games look better than 360 games. Its a fucking launch.

Remember when 360 came out and pitted Call of Duty 2 and Perfect Dark Zero against Far Cry and Half Life 2 WHICH RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME on the original Xbox? People were rightfully wondering just how much of a leap if at all the 360 was, other than displaying in 720p at the time. Then a year later, PS3 came out with its "big" launch game of Resistance: Fall Of Man, which didn't even look as good as 360 launch games.

Now the Wii U is nowhere near as much of a jump as those systems were over the PS2/CUBE/XBOX era, so its going to take some time, effort, and some ground up AAA games to show off the power. But believe me, it IS more powerful.

Another point, Epic Mickey 2 is a Wii game and yet on U a system like 20x more powerful it runs like shit. Not because the system has less power than Wii but because it's had 6 months of development.

PD0 and Kameo are weird games which could look outstanding in some areas and then bland and PS2 like in others. I found it funny looking at original Xbox 1 footage of Kameo and even Dead Space. It looked pretty comparable in many ways. Kameo had excellent shaders on xbox 1. Also look at COD2 a 360 launch game, compare the graphics to Halo 4.

I like Nano Assault Neo because it's a tiny team making an 88mb game. It runs at 720p 60 FPS on the HDTV and gamepad at the same time, uses effects not posible on PS3/360 (according to the interview) and is only using 1 core and 20% of U's power. The devs say that they grew up coding from 8 bit and carry across their efficient coding style. They also said to remember that U's GPU is from a completely different generation compared to 360/PS3.

At the moment yout have BLOPs 2 running on average 8 frames per second lower than 360 but with an near identical presentation (but with no screen tearing and better colours?) I'm fairly confident that Treyarch can bridge that 8 frames gap with more experience. It runs on average 3 FPS slower than PS3 but looks much better (no blur, sharper textures etc, no tearing).

I really wasn't happy when I spent $500 on my PS3 and played Resistance.

Not only was it bland looking...it was bland PLAYING as well.

LOL that article about the indie group getting questions about how bad Nintendo was, turns out the site was Kotaku and they are holding off the publishing of the article to avoid the major game rush so that it can get more attention. Then the person that wrote that article took it down and said she shouldnt have written it without speaking to Kotaku first. This industry is so stupid.

EDIT: Kotaku was not the site the article was talking about so what that Kotaku writer said has no bearing. Regardless of the delaying of the interviews publication, it doesn't change that the key point that an interviewer at a major gaming website was asking leading questions, trying to get the studio to make anti-nintendo statements.

The writer of the article took down the story, mostly to protect the indie dev from backlash and blacklisting.

Nintendo Black Friday sales:

That's cause Reggie is talking complete shit

I still want to know exactly what he meant by this: "I have to correct you. The specs are quite different than the competitor systems. Much more graphically intensive" I think he's just a suit beating his chest though.
