Ryback isn't a total meat head, he's solid on the mic in short bursts. With the material the writers give him, can you blame him. He's doing the best he can

"Almost" is a very subjective term. Like "dramatically." There are no built-in connotations about it. It can mean literally anything.
It looks better on the Wii U to me. Maybe I just like the less blur and bloom on the Wii U.
He had one crappy food promo, I wouldn't call that solid. He is improving though, I won't mind as long as he stays away from the WWE/WHC titles.

Are you talking about how it looks on the Gamepad or your HDTV?

In my opinion yes
Yet believable enough that some people took it seriously
Actually, my post was a mockery of another that happened to be the first post that seriously mentioned "honor" as a Nintendo asset.

If the game looks better on the game pad than on your HDTV, that is not an ideal situation IMO.
I was searching for the serious one but yours was the best i could find on short notice.
Umm.. isn't that what a glorified PR guy is supposed to do?

Not really. If you check out Miiverse, there are a ton of people convincing others to buy the Wii U version of the game so that they can build up the community. Some are mentioning the differences in the SP versus MP but that doesnt seem to be getting many negative responses
I think there's a genuine interest in Nintendo fans wanting 3rd party games like COD on the system so they are active
No problem. It was all in good fun.
I thought that was a politician's job?

So everyone agrees.
I think you need glasses. Care to grab pics from DF's comparison shots the support how it looks better?
The smaller screen and lower resolution helps to hide the flaws, that's why it looks better. No different than the low res gifs people like to post when trying to prove a point (and failing) about graphics.
To be fair, they aren't the only company that lies. Something something "Full HD" "era of jaggies is over" something something.
Yup you need glasses. Either that or you have no idea what you're talking about. Especially if you think wii-U games will almost be on par with ps4/720 games.

Clearly a very incorrect thing to say. The games look fine for the most part, but performance is another issue entirely. Even if they performed well, his statement is all jacked up on bullshit.

Exactly. If I DO end up picking up BLOPS 2 (which is still debatable) I'll be grabbing it for the Wii U. The gamepad play is a fantastic feature and the smaller userbase may actually be a positive in this case. The Wii U communtiy is quite friendly and I can't stand the majority of the 360 COD community.

Yes, most consumers won't notice but the problem is these ports offer no incentive to purchase when you can get a 360 or PS3 for 200 bucks that have massive libraries and the system your friends are already on.
The gamepad isn't a good incentive to jump in on this thing. The gamepad uses are trivial additions to gameplay so far, it'll take time before it's used really well consistently.
I was answering a question about why someone would feel icky for supporting a company that blatantly lies to potential customers.
If I found out that the head of marketing for any company was outright lying in order to push product, I wouldn't want to reward that company.
I think most people (?) when they find out someone has lied to their face in order to get money out of them would classify it as contemptible. And I know if it happens in the financial industry, you can go to jail for it. But I guess because it is video games, it doesn't matter?

"I think you need glasses."
It is matter of opinion so there is no need to insult people. Maybe you should change your name to Digital Foundry or Lens of Truth since what you post obviously is fact. Right?
if you need to scrutinize a bunch of comparison shots to be tell the difference between the two it means they're pretty much the same.
being able to play ports of the game on the gamepad while watching something else on tv is not trivial.

Reggie used to be quite a cool guy. He's become more and more of a lying PR guy as time has gone by. I used to really like him but I don't that much anymore.

I'm pretty sure if someone showed you two the same screenshot but one marked 360 and the other marked Wii U, you would find some way to convince yourselves that the latter looked better. You're in for a surprise next year if you think the Wii U is going to match up to PS4/720. But by that point the Nintendo fanboy argument will switch back to "graphics don't matter" so the cycle will continue.

I hear the Wii U has a 90% failure rate in the first week! Hey don't fact check it, just trust me.

This. All these people saying the WiiU version looks better are probably confusing differences in gamma with actual improvements in graphic fidelity. The PS3 version's AA solution absolutely degrades the IQ compared to the other versions, but the 360/WiiU versions are on par with each other, until you factor in framerate drops on WiiU.

Frankly, not that I can tell. Outside the hardcore tier of the internet, nobody even cares that NSMB games have "bah" in them.
Going by Miiverse and some comments I've seen in game stores, from normal people, the only games that have a general negative impression are Epic Mickey 2 and Batman. A lot of people do see that Batman runs noticeably poorly in comparison to the other console versions.
This is not to excuse the issues with launch ports; they shouldn't be there. The shadowing shouldn't be screwed up in BO2. But generally speaking, bear in mind some perspective: people care about playing games so long as they look decent and play pretty well. BO2 runs fine in multiplayer so that's what matters to joe average.
His point was that every company at one point or another has lied and you have probably supported them. Doesn't make it any less contemptible, but if you were going to boycott liars, you'd probably be homeless.

If that's the case, there's no reason at all for 3rd parties to even try on wii U.

What incentive is there to buy a Wii U? What is the hook? Think about it. With the 360 and PS3 there were a number of factors:
* much improved graphics right off the bat
* jump to HD
* Xbox Live and online in general becoming a huge part of the experience
* blu-ray
What is there for the Wii U? The graphics are the same, the games are the same, the gamepad has done little to nothing to improve or change gameplay (opposite of the Wiimote), the online is lacking major features the others have had for half a decade, what's the incentive here? NSMBU? Playing on a low res screen that has a 2-3 hour battery life? This is why this thing is floundering at the moment, imo.

It has a 3 hour battery life, a mediocre LCD screen, and can't even be taken out of the house.

outdated development kits, thanks to this thread.
because it doesn't and there have already been extensive technical analysis that show this, not just your "gut feeling." At the absolute best most optimistic possible assessment of the result, one can say the Wii U game looks almost as good as the 360 version. If you were a PR person, you could maybe push this to "on par". And that's as close as it gets.
man these posts are getting wild and audacious now, just hilarious
yeah a system with a crippled CPU and horrifically slow RAM that has trouble competing with this generation is going to be capable of games 'almost on par' with two systems using technology from 2011 for its system, compared to tech from 2007.
All fanboys are delusional, of course... but good lord
I'm disconcertingly depressed by this. Reggie's always been arrogant but at least, IMO, he had a good grasp on reality and when confronted with hard truths about the Wii, he would use his silver tongue to duck and weave, not outright lie.
It suggests an underlying sense of desperation and/or obliviousness that as a new Wii U owner is actually pretty scary.

For you? No idea!
For me....
WiiU:
1. off tv play
2. Nintendo IPs
3. Exclusives (ZombiU, Bayonetta 2)
4. Miiverse
5. TVii
PS3:
1. Bluray
2. MGS 4
Xbox360:
1. Halo 3
2. Gears of War
The Wii U also has jump to HD, much improved graphics right off the bat, and blu-ray if you only had a Wii last generation.
As got the online it can improve over time, like the PSN and XBL. Nobody expected it to be perfect by day 1.
He's a PR, people shouldn't be scared of the Wii U because he says the games on Wii U is better, this will happen with the PS4/720 as well.

Can't be a lot of companies you'd want to reward then, as basically every company will, if given the chance, lie and spin to make their product(s) look superior to the competition.
The Wii U doesn't play BD movies AFAIK.
