Rather
laughing than anything else when heared that with 1080p capacity, the
Wii U's going to close the gap because
now quality won't increase as fast as before.
Here's a demo released this year by Square Enix, and
one from Epic Games, both with
real time graphics. I would hardly believe the PS4 and the new Xbox unable to render those.
However, the lack of hardware quality isn't what hinder a software's graphics the most.
Super Mario Bros has a cute and immersive world, which I find
way more realistic compared to the non-coherent textures of
Call of Duty : elements of
Mario games are made to
fit together, whereas
CoD is a pale and bleak imitation of real life... That said, my ideal is for sure a HD well-designed game.
I have the impression
Nintendo is, rather than going further in
the path of new gameplays which is its sacred playground, trying to gain back clients by copying
Sony and
Microsoft with their hardware stuff. Definitely not
Nintendo's strongest point, moreover it could rely on its good designers to compensate for it. I hope it will continue making new accessories and other funny ways to play, but the
Wii U looks pretty much like the
bad mixing of a
Wii and a
Xbox 360 with no improvement. I would have liked more a console with no improved graphics but a revolutionary handling, but I'm saying this on the basis of trailers showing
but graphic upgrades. At least I can say I find
Nintendo's advertisements
hella bad.
Can't afford not to buy, though, primarily due the to
The Legend of Zelda &
Super Smash Bros franchises. Hard to be a fanboy...
