On par with 360/PS3/ The art style used in Yoshi looks great.

The stuff we saw today looks fucking fantastic.
I love the use of lighting and shaders to create some really neat looking visuals.

I...
Is there someone else that can explain it better than I did? I mean, I thought the whole "you posted an enlarged screencap of a streaming video" thing would be enough, especially if I said it twice, but apparently I'm not being clear enough.
The problem with this is it doesn´t look better than any 360/PS3 game. It´s clearly a display of current gen graphics, not more not less.
why wouldn't you assume they'd find both impressive?

They look about on par with current-gen efforts to me. Whatevs, bring on the HD Nintendo titles and I'll snap up a Wii U at some point.
Except it does.
I already answered to that. Am i arguing with a wall or something?
It doesn't really look better though. It looks about as good.
X looks nice.
But one is running on ~6 year old hardware and the other is running on new hardware.

Looks pretty impressive. They are not really technically spectacular but definitely can be put up there with some of the best of current gen.

It looks as good... Except it's open and good draw distance as I already said + gigantic ennemies.
That's why as a whole it looks better.
It doesn't really look that much better though. Like not even the difference between Wii and Xbox 1. If you told anyone those were 360/ps3 games they wouldn't have any reason to believe otherwise.

Well, at least that WiiU troll has run its course.
As already said Red Dead Redemption. And i´m pretty sure there are others.

Yoshi looks amazing. since the first Yoshis Story came out, I've waited for Nintendo to have the power to make a game with realistic textures to make games that look like actual toys. This is as close as they've gotten.
I still want to see a Mario where he looks like a vinyl toy in a plastic & fabric world.

I think they all look really good but not noticeably better than PS3/X360. Most of it could be attributed to the art though.
Wind Waker HD looks kind of bad to me though since it's not using cel shading. I hope they fix that before they release it.

I doubt it. the PS4 and 720 should have some much more up-to-date GPU technology... given the rumours about both Sony and MS going all out on the hardware specs.
I think we'll see some really impressive stuff when those real next-gen consoles come to the party. Unreal 4 looks absolutely amazing.

There's a pretty big difference between a press shot and a hideously artifacted streamcap, no matter how unflattering the press shot is supposed to be. Largely because even if a screenshot is unflattering, it's still an actual screenshot of the game as it looks.

That said, X looks amazing (esp. if being generous about an early build) to me, and I play Skyrim with ENB at 2560x1600. Just in case anyone wants to tell me that I only think it looks good because I haven't seen anything better.
I think what's go great about X is that we're very early in the Wii U's life cycle and xenoblade isn't that old yet we're already seeing games like this, especially when a lot of people in the Nintendo direct thread prior to the stream thought that monolith soft's next game would look ugly.
The detail and scope of the game looks great and with the awesome gameplay, story and music we've come to expect from monolith, and with extra Dev time, is an exciting prospect.

And as i already said, that´s not true.

Wow ! Not so fast ! Too much arguments for me here !
Could you sum up or make it shorter ?
there's really a lot of people setting themselves up for disappointment around here

If you mean the Samaritan demo, you're definitely going to be disapointed if you're expecting in game graphics that look like that.
In game graphics haven't matched the 2006 UE3 tech demos yet.

Sorry sir, but I dont remind as huge scale on Red Dead, huge creatures and that good looking drawing distance.

RDR has tons upon tons of alpha textures as well as a day and night cycle, so unless this game has something similar, your claims are false.
How can he make a compelling argument AND be witty at the same time! Joking aside, its still early days, I'm sure the game will only improve as time goes on.

Well, we know the game has a day and night cycle, just look at the gifs throughout the thread.
I still can't see how someone can claim that an open desert with bushes and maybe a few horses is more detailed than what we've seen of X. It baffles me.
EDIT: Yes, I know that RDR is more than just a desert with bushes. But for all intents and purposes, that's what it feels like compared to this new game.
No, it really isn't. And, IIRC, the world on RDD isn't as big as that of Xenoblade.
And again, we are comparing it to a Wii game lmao. I'm sure X is gonna be considerably bigger than that, therefore making it even more impressive to have visuals on that level of quality.
You keep saying "read first" and "reading comprehension" but clearly these are abilities you lack.
Observe this heavy exaggeration.
Every game ever made looks better than Y game (i would have used X as the variable but ya know lawlz)
But hey i didnt say the game looked bad, i didnt SAY those words specifically!
But you would be and idiot not to assume thats the connotation.
How quickly GAF forgets Wall Guy.
Perfect Dark Zero was derided for its visual jankiness.
Yeah, but there are people and plants and horses and other stuff going on on the screen, you know.
That's not enough, if anything that's the minumim a new expensive console from 2012 should do.
have you tried it or?

But is it real-time, and does it affect shadow casting?
There really doesn't seem to be much in the way of shadows in X, anyways.

I agree.
I still think it's amazing to finally get nintendo games in HD so i personally don't care if it's on par visually with ps3/xbox 360 or slightly better because we can finally get first party nintendo titles in amazing graphics.
Not defending the guy but so far the environment of X is empty and bland. Not saying that wont change for the final game.
Edit: Sorry "looks" empty and bland.

We're not debating whether the game looks next gen or not. We're debating if it looks better than RDR, and it does. By a lot.
TUROK said:
I don't know why we'd expect otherwise, given Xenoblade did. If you really think there's a chance this game won't include either of those features...then I don't know what to say.
