Title: Is the WiiU further behind PS4/Durango the Wii was behind PS360?
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on February 21, 2013, 07:48:58 AM
Seems so. Now the gap is like 7 years in tech it seems, instead of 5.

Ninty should axe the WiiU after 4 years max I think and start over.

It's cute that you think Sony showed something impressive or futuristic.

The machines' reception this holiday should tell you how far ahead of the last generation people feel it is.

we're not fucking talking about perception.  we're talking about hardware.  factual information, not experiential.

This is what I mean.

Ill prob not even play any of the first party games Sony showed cause I don't care about them at all.

Sony is talking about instantly playing games, streaming services, pre-loading likely purchases, the fastest gaming network around...

And Nintendo just announced an adapter you plug it in your Wii U that lets you play one 3DS game online :rofl

for $350-399 it's a little impressive, you can't build a PC with those specs for that price

feature-set? yeah, all of that was impressive (although i have very little interest in the social stuff)

games shown? not really, but it won't be the desert wii u is going to be.

if you're a console-only gamer, it was as impressive as it needed to be

we're not fucking talking about perception.  we're talking about hardware.  factual information, not experiential.  if you're not interested in that, gtfo and go park in one of the many other threads here where you CAN talk about whimsy quotient.

You're not though. You're the one talking about some ethereal non-existent thing called 'whimsy', and systems or specs you believe to be counterpoint to it.

In a factual (and unfortunately experiential way for everyone else) - you and this f­agshitting thunderc­unt are talking utter nonsense.

Even if we're talking GFLOPS/TFLOPS, raw processing power, as a standard for a given year - he's still factually wrong and making a facetious, deliberately unintelligent comparison. Lets not pretend there's actual discussion to be had outside of labelling each other ninthings and Premium distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.

Tell me PL, are you called Premium Lager because that's what your mother drank to leave you with brain damage, fetal alcohol syndrome and the kind of creative and imaginative palsy required to be in any way entertained by last nights PS4 showing?

In light of yesterdays uninspiring show, Joe Public ain't gonna be buying into this thing any more than its buying into the Wii U. MS are on target for a flawless victory and they haven't even shown anything!

the PS4 hardware is pretty goddam hot, but in regards to how the games actually look, there won't be too large a distinction from the outset.  Probably in two years or so, there will be.

The other shit that the system does though is truly next-gen as compared to the weoooeoeoeooo.  Wii U can't even fucking download an update and load an OS quickly to save its life.  PS4 is fucking streaming games as you both play AND buy them at the same time.  that shit is amazing

Post by: Don Flamenco on February 21, 2013, 02:39:44 PM
Wii U games will probably still be better cause Nintendo actually is known to release 60 fps games.

It's incredible how incompetent developers are when it comes to framerate. PS4 is so fucking ridicously powerful and still the new Killzone is 30 fps. If you can do Super Mario Galaxy @ 60 fps on a piece of shit like the Wii, how the hell can you not run a game at 60 fps on PS4? 30 fps is inexcusable.

Wii U is an utter piece of shit also but Nintendo, despite not being as competent as they used to be, is still better than most developers and their system will survive on Nintendo games alone.

since Killzone 4 is 30fps @1080p, all the rest of the PS4 games will be this too.  Now, SMB WiiU is 60fps @ 720p.   60 - 30 is 30.  1080 - 720 = 360.   

The difference between the current gen and last gen is 9 because 360 divided by 30 is 9. 

This is like the first thing you learn at DigiPen.

A 1080P 60 fps game would require 5 times more processing power than the same game at 720 30 fps. Now assuming they also have worse effects, less AA, and no bokchoi DOF or whatever and maybe just maybe we'll see some Wuu ports.

For a console that is half the price of the competition, Nintendo wants game royalties, not so much actual console sales.

What? Source please. Are you just assuming there is a linear correlation between the number of pixels per second and the required processing power?

Listen to me, and pay attention because reading comprehension seems selective on this forum. What good are specs if the worlds created with them are predictable and boring? Why would i pay hundreds of dollars to escape into a setting that is less amazing than what my own imagination can come up with? That killzone demo and that capcom game dont show me a place i MUST see the rest of. They dont inspire me to pick up a controller and find out what comes next. A game like 3d land does. Luigi 2 does. Skyward Sword did. Final Fantasy 7s did. There is a difference, if not to all then at least to some. When iwata says specs dont matter he doesnt mean they dont exist. I just couldnt give a shit about them.

My creative standard is far too high.

Nah difference between Wii and 360/PS3 was massive, but due to diminishing returns I don't think it's anywhere near as big this time around. What might bite Nintendo in the ass is going PowerPC while everyone else goes x86 though.

I didn't take notes, and the interview lasted for more than an hour. The interviewer was the producer of the show, a very gentle man named Shola Akinnuso. We had never met before, but Shola has worked on Bonus Round since episode 1, and "knew" me from there. He is a GAF member, I neglected to ask his GAF username.

As much as this may shock many of you, the questions were generally balanced and my answers were generally balanced. I don't want to ruin the drama that will build in the final show, which will be edited to fit whatever time is allowed, but suffice to say that there will be six people interviewed (me, James Stevenson, David Jaffe, Arne Meyer, Denis Dyack and Evilore). Given that my interview was an hour, my guess is that Shola will compile at least four hours of content, if not more, and will edit down to 45 minutes to an hour of final product. I suggested that he present in three segments (the good, the bad and the ugly), but it's his show, so we'll all have to wait and see what he comes up with. Jaffe, Stevenson and Meyer are being interviewed today, Dyack at GDC in five weeks, and Evilore some other time. It will probably be April or later before we see the finished product.

For my part, Shola asked me how I learned about GAF, when and why I joined, why I read threads on the site, why I post, and more or less what benefits I get from visiting. He asked me to talk about good experiences (yes, I have had some) and bad experiences (no further elaboration needed), asked me if I thought NeoGAF served a purpose, whether I thought it was important, and so on.

We concluded with questions about the E word -- Gamer Entitlement -- and whether I thought NeoGAF was representative of the gamer community in general.

I don't want to spoil the surprise, but suffice to say that I was honest about my experiences, and I believe I was realistic about the value of the site. I like NeoGAF, find the members generally thoughtful, very smart, and sometimes snarky. I talked about all of this, and concluded that I find the site valuable for learning about things I know little about -- yes, I know that could describe anything that relates to gaming -- and for tracking rumors in real time. I do believe that NeoGAF is representative of hard core gamers, and think that developers can learn from criticism here. We'll see if Jaffe and Dyack agree.

My two shout outs were to the moderators here, who I find consistently gracious, and to Junkwaffle, who I think represents all that is good about NeoGAF. I gave a shout out off camera to Mama Robotnik as well, as someone who consistently made me smile.

My guess is that Shola will have a similar conversation with the other interview subjects, and the final televised product will be pretty balanced.

I think the average joe isnt going to see that much difference.  Stocks of Sony dived after the show and Nintendo's stocks jumped

I am not understanding what you are saying.  I never said that people will be struggling to see the difference just that it isnt as pronounced as the wii to wii U.  The wii is 480p and the wii U in most cases will be around 720p.  480p -> 720p  >  720p -> 1080p.  Gamers like us will definitely notice the difference, but the average person won see that much difference until you tell them.

Come on Oscar don't make think less of you again.

100 million bought it because of waggle and wii bowling, most of those people dont even play games anymore. If anything they bought it DESPITE the jarring visuals. I did the same, but only a few months in I couldnt take it anymore and had to sell.

If were talking gamers then they are just deluding themselves.

Because that's what launch line-ups are usually made out of. Developers are still trying to familiarize themselves with the new hardware and the first games are going to be similar to the work they did for the previous generation. It's the same for the new Killzone.

Compare Killzone 3 with Resistance: Fall of Man and you'll see that they're quite far from each other.

The answer is no.
And you can't really group together the PS4 and MSbox now that the Sony beast is 1.5-2 as powerful.

You guys must have forgotten just how weak the Wii was in comparison to the PS360.

The Wii U is also comparably weak.

Even though Microsoft are unlikely to match the PS4's memory it could still turn out to be a powerful machine. We still don't know all the details about the specs and some things can change on a short notice.

Wasnt the wii 733MHz single core, Xbox 360 tri core at 3.2 Ghz?  So the Xbox 360 was actually about 12-15 times as powerful as the wii in cpu power.

I dont know how to figure out the difference in the GPU though, the xbox 360 GPU was 500 Mhz with 48 pipelines.  The wii was 243 Mhz with an 16 stage tev but the tev was much more expensive to use.

Yeah I know. But a lot of the 360 launch lineup was crappy ports (whether up-ports or otherwise) so I just think back to them all as crappy up-ports.

You are missing the point again.I don't think anybody is claiming that PS4 is not running circles around WiiU in power department.

One little thing,

If Battlefield 4 rumors are true,the game will run at 1080p 60fps

What is your opinion on that?Why would  EA do something like that?Game will look worse than Killzone 4,unless Guerrilla Games fucked up in graphics department.

Unfortunately for Nintendo, most of those casual players who bought a Wii don't know or care about the WiiU. They're too busy reading 50 Shades of Grey on their Kindles while watching Anderson Cooper on their HDTV. Graphics matter to the gamers that will drive this generation. The WiiU won't look bad in comparison in November, at least not by much. But next November?

I ultimately agree about diminishing returns though. The issue is that the system won't get the same games the other systems get due to limited tech. So while the WiiU will still have nice looking games in a year or two, it will miss out on most shit people want to play with their friends. IMO the lack of a decent online system will hurt the system even more than its tech.

Jonathan Blow says the WiiU is too weak to run his artsy puzzle game:
Quote
We liked the idea of being on a console, and originally we thought we might be on the PS3 or Xbox 360, but eventually we decided not to target either of those due to the relatively low system specs. After some more time went by, and our release date drifted further into the future, we realized that the next-generation console launch time might be a good time to release the game. "The Wii U still has pretty low system specs, so it came down to a choice between the next Microsoft console or the next Sony console.

Other than Watch Dogs, none of the games shown actually pushed the boundaries of what we've seen in terms of scope of a game. Eventually, all the technical achievements in a game's graphics go away if you don't create new situations with the technology. It was kind of dumb that they showed off a racing game, it's the genre you get bored of the most quickly as far as visuals.

I do think games like Alan Wake or even Forza 3/4 would be impossible on xbox, as you'd have to give up too much of the effects or physics that are important to the gameplay. And there are other games like Mass Effect or Red Dead Redemption that would take a massive dive in their presentation if you used last-gen tech. But for the WiiU, there's nothing on the horizon on either the next-gen consoles or PC that looks impossible on WiiU if you make it ugly enough.

Yeah, overall it was probably 10-15x more powerful.
The Durango is only 4-8x more powerful than the Wii U though (the PS4, 4-10x more powerful).

Just because the people saying those lines are dumb and have an agenda like in the case of some Ninfans doesn't mean that there is some truth to it. Yeah, games that target Orbis/Durango can't be easily ported to WiiU, because the publishers spent tens of million $ on creating assets that won't run on Wii U. But if you're just talking about the general experience I don't know what Durango/Orbis could do that would be impossible to do on Wii U.

Current gen has enough power to do open worlds with lots of npcs and at least decently detailed environments and that's mainly what separated 360/ps3 experience wise from Wii and the gen before. This coming gen, I just don't see what type of game would be only possible with Orbis/Durango. I guess you can get even crazier with open world stuff, but most stuff won't really matter regarding gameplay. Maybe we finally get those ai and physics improvements that are we are promised each gen  :-\

I don't think this is a good example. CoD2 and 3 were successful but not industry defining, CoD4 was the first one to be a mega blockbuster and that was definitely one of the best looking games of the year and was hyped as such starting with the E3 trailer.

And the game world of Skyrim or Oblivion are dependent on the same hardware edge that made CoD4 look that good, just applied differently.
