The first 30 minutes of God of War: Ascension, holy hell not even the recently announced Wii U games look that good. These are graphics from a console released in 2006!

Why exactly is the Wii U getting its ass handed to it by a last gen console? Im sorry but I really wish there was a Wii U game that looked that good. Graphics arent a big thing but the Wii U is supposedly a next gen console and I want next gen visuals from it :/

The Wii U is early in its cycle. It will take time for developers to get to that point. Hence the ports. It gives them familiar code to work with on the new hardware.

The Wii U can meet/exceed those graphics,we just haven't seen it yet because Nintendo doesn't really dig realistic graphics so we'll have to wait for a 3rd party dev'd game.

Monolith's new X game is a small indication of what the Wii U is capable of BUT even that game is using a stylized art style instead of trying to be photorealistic.

All I saw was a pretty version of the same linear and scripted thwack thwack thwack button mash action that was in previous GoW titles. Wake me when the gameplay isn't confined to narrow corridors that make Doom look like Just Cause in comparison.

I'm still far more impressed by what games like Assassins Creed are able to pull off all while having great graphics, not these linear corridor crawlers like GoW or Uncharted.

Sine Bayonetta is from the same genre, the question is:

Will Bayonetta 2 have better graphics and larger scale than GoW:Ascension?

Wii U won't be able to handle great graphics, Wii U's weak CPU is going to bottleneck Wii U's GPU.

I believe the Wii U will be at the level the PS3 is now at the end of its life. Which would be a great thing if it weren't for the next gen consoles. It's severely gimped by, well Nintendo!

The Wii U will be where the PS3 is this time next year. That's right should be right about or a bit ahead of where the PS4 is at the same time.

So if Nintendo changed the name of the Wii - U, would they be pulling a U-Wii?

The frame rate looked horrendous. As such, I think "visual benchmark" is a bit of a stretch.

Also, X looked just as good, and it's in alpha stage.

Gaming is like a pair of boobs - Sony and Microsoft fight over whos boobs look more realistic, while Nintendo is about having fun with them - Walkiethrougie
