I'm half convinced you're a joke poster due to the only posts you apparently make being negative ones in WiiU threads.
You have a Cyberpunk avatar but don't already have one?
You won't regret it

I can only hope they take advantage of the system like criterion did....
This. Hopefully they wont just do a simple port...
I'm not trying to pick on you Baconsammy but it boggles my mind people distracted by tearing and framerate drops continue to buy games available for PCs on console. You already have a Mac so most likely all you need is a copy of Windows and a $250 graphics card and you have exactly what you want from next gen already.
Even if a new console remedies the problem for a couple of years. You don't think you will be in a similar situation shaking your head at these problems in the later half of the generation? Isn't it worth not experiencing tearing to drop $250 now and $250 3 years from now?

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter for PS2:
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter for Xbox 360:
The difference between the version for PS3/360/Wii U and the version for Orbis/Durango will most likely be as dramatic if not more so. And don't expect it to look even close to what the E3 demo looked like on the former 3 platforms.

according to Ideaman, the are 2 versions a next gen version and current gen, with WiiU landing somewhere in the middle, closer to current gen build. So maybe that makes it 3 versions?
Anyways, I would assume that the PC versions the lead. But it with games like this, maybe such a distinction doesn't really make sense anymore. With engines designed to scale all over the place.
We still don't know
Idea Man said the Wii U version is somehow.. caught in the middle
for all we know, it could share stuff from both generations.
I'll use this example again and say it'll be closer to Durango/Orbis/PC basing my comment on Criterion's statement about NFS: MWU
but I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't end up being the case... at this point, a Wii U version is already an achievement
I honestly thought it was artwork from Max Payne 3, considering all the filtering effects.

I'm looking for the slot in this new Macbook Air to cram the 250 dollar graphics card into. =)
I'm lucky to have enough room on these small drives to load WoW, the OS, Office, and all the stuff I need for work. Adding Windows and games on top of that on a system that couldnt handle them to begin with isn't all that high on my list. I'm happily a console gamer. Even we get sick of the current consoles and look forward to the next ones. I don't think I'm alone.
May I suggest reading the sticky? Attack the message, not the messenger. If you ever have a problem with my opinion, go for it. I have no problem with that. But claiming I'm out to get Nintendo is just infantile and does nothing but shit up threads. As you're doing here. Take it PMs if you'd like to attack me further.
The Wii U version will be inline with the PS3 and 360 versions.

How do you figure?
Seeing as this is the same publisher releasing a game on multiple platforms during a new generation's launch window I'd call it relevant.
It'll have textures, for starters.

And you don't think the Orbis/Durango version will have superior textures with all that extra RAM?

Someone's gonna be very disappointed with Orbango's first gen titles.
I'm sure they will, but you're trying to draw a linear comparison between how GRAW turned out on two different generations of consoles, and I seriously doubt that we're going to see such a massive difference like what you're suggesting.

0_0 so 3D Mario + Watch_Dogs + Premium Console less than 1.5 years into the WiiU's life....
I would hate to see the situation and desperation that would push them to even consider this.

The E3 demo looked amazing, beyond anything we've seen multiplatform current gen games pull off and IIRC it ran on a PC. I'll bet my account that the PSWiiU60 version doesn't look anywhere near as good as that demo, and the Orbango version looks damn close if not just like the E3 demo.

ever heard of diminishing returns?
You could ask the same of those who don't share his views.
yeah we're not there yet
Of course those won't look anywhere nearly as good, but you're crazy if you think they're going to look like GRAW PS2 in comparison.

No, because historially, first gen launch games for every system disappoint. It's kinda a fact.

I heard a lot about that in 2005. Boy, that theory really panned out.
People who expect PS360U graphics to look like rushed, shit ports of multiplatform games when compared to Durangorbis' SKUs

Ahaha, this one got me.
Nope, sorry. I play current PC games maxed out where the jump is as dramatic as that jump with current gen titles.
In Watch Dogs alone, there are tons of effects going on that have not been in any current gen games - and that's a first gen next-gen title.

No, but owning a computer capable of playing PC games at high end settings gives me a general idea of what can be done with textures when you have more memory to work with, and this is even when dealing with the Windows overhead along with having a very expensive API in your way.
I dont remember hearing that back then. In any case, the point of diminishing returns is that they get stronger.

I expect the PS3/360/Wii U versions to look no better than GTA V, or about the same, and the PS4/720 versions to look close to if not the same as the E3 demo.
In that regard, that's a significantly large difference between the 2 versions.
Time will tell.
I just don't have much confidence in my Wii U atm, outside of Monster Hunter next month which I've got pre-ordered.
Anyway I'll pick up the PC version, unless the Orbis version is tasty treats.
Wow i was impressed from the wii-> wiiu graphics transition. Are you saying that the 360/ps3-> Durango/orbis will be even more prevalent? I didn't think the specs were THAT good.Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter for PS2:

Heh. Obviously those are 'next-gen titles', but I was talking about purely in terms of the leap in hardware power here, since we're discussing visuals and whatnot. I know you're joking but I think I should clarify for anyone else
