Mario really killed the variety in this thread. It's a beautiful game but we don't need an entire page worth of shots.

It just came out. things will balance themselves out soon.

 

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

This is convincing me to get a Wii U. A Metroid game will probably look way more interesting than Killzone.

Oh man, a new solid Metroid on Wii U... *drool*

Some Contrast -

Killer Instinct!

Screenshot from a video recording, so it's not quite as crisp as a live screenshot -

 

[Timu]

I take it you died lol!

DR3 looks a right laugh

Yep, too much to handle, and it gets worse...imagine that in corridors!!!

[stevil]

Oh looks nice I hope it will come to PS+ or I will buy it when it is discounted

Knack -

 

[SPACECADET]

more killzone, got a bunch of new screens i gotta upload to twitter. this game makes me compulsively hit the share button, this game is gorgeous T_T

 

[Wolfie5]

Great thread! Keep them screenshots coming. Really like Killzone, Windwaker, SM3DW, Resogun and AC4 shots so far. Thread needs some Xbox One pics though.

 

[Pitmonkey]

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

Super Mario 3D World

 

[Pjsprojects]

If Xbone can take video of games can't a single frame be used as a still shot and saved?

 

[nikatapi]

Damn, all those WiiU and PS4 screens look great. It's going to be a great generation.

 

[Pjsprojects]

more killzone

Great pause of what looks like a fast action shot! The cyan colour stands out just as nice as all the shots with red in them.

When us Brits get the PS4 I'm going to spend as much time posting PS4U shots as playing the games!

 

[The Jason]

Beautiful shots. This thread is a great idea

 

[thenexus6]

Looking through this thread seems the Wii U isn't as underpowered as some would think

And this response pretty much proves how much more important art style > technical graphics is.

Even though from a technical graphics stand point, the Wii U shots are far below that of the PS4 screens, it's the wonderful art style that make games like Mario 3D World so damn pleasing to look at.

Loving the art-style of Mario - so damn pleasing to look at.
Loving the look of Knack also.

Art style > technical graphics

Mario 3D World is just so damn pretty. To think it runs at a smooth 60 fps. I should stop looking at this thread, but it's so hard to look away.

60fps and can have a bunch of controllable characters on screen at once...4-players + several Double Cherries. Impressive.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Can't wait for uncompressed uploads!!!!!!!!! Should of been done for atleast Screenshots. I understand the bandwidth needs of video uploads, but good screens are what, 1MB or so?

Figuring out atleast the better size for PS4 uploads via Twitter.

It is kind of like .... imagine these pictures but very sharp, more detail available per-pixel, more pop to the colors ... etc. lol. Imagine the picture as a Blu-Ray, not a DVD.

Am I the only one who thinks that Killer Instinct looks average at best? I know it looks fairly nice in motion - particularly with the particle effects... but nothing else stands out to me. It looks current gen in these isolated screen shots.

Maybe I'm just being cynical - but I find next gen AC4, Killzone and Forza fairly nice to look at - but DR3 or KI yet.

I don't find it looking very good either. The body movements seem really stiff, not to mention that the art and character designs are pretty bad. They always were though imo. Music seems to be decent though and as long as the gameplay itself is decent, then it's alright I suppose. Still the only game I'd be interested in if I were to get an Xbone.

Need for Speed - Most Wanted U

 

[Naminator]

I want to see some pics from Ryse

That game looks incredible.

 

[WAR recon zero]

This thread prooves the original wii could look great with 720 p support and hdmi output.

I too think Killer Instinct looks average in these screen shots. In motion it looks much better though, which is why 3D World is blowing my mind right now. It looks awesome. I can't even imagine how it would look in motion.

I'm also loving the AC4, Knack, and Shadow Fall pics. Even on the Wii U, you can notice that AC4 is an improvement over AC3 last year.

Some screenshots from my play session today:

 

[alejo0121]

Poor 8-bit Luigi, he will get crushed under that Bullet train

Super Mario 3D World:

 

[cyberheater]

Super Mario 3D World:

Just amazing. A very beautiful game.

 

[Ran rp]

It's kinda crazy but not too suprising that SM3DW and WWHD are two of the best looking games in the thread. Excellent art direction goes so, so far. I'd throw in Pikmin 3 too but it's not as strong as the others.

I'm honestly more impressed with SM3DW than Killzone, but I haven't gotten very far in Killzone so maybe I haven't seen any of the mindblowing moments yet.

Spoiler

I need a Wii U :C

[KingSnake]

3d World is really something. Reflections, lighting, round rounds, DoF, shadows. It's incredibly polished. 5 more days to go ...

 

[qq more]

My lord, both Knack and Super Mario 3D World impresses me the most. I already wanted 3D World but I sort of want Knack now just for the visuals alone... Is the game itself actually okay?

but seriously Knack's rock textures... wow. How often do we see impressive rock textures in games??

 

[WheelHoss1]

Knack is good fun.

Not really... Wii graphics are in no way the same as WiiU. But 720p would have been great nontheless.

You could compare 1080p shots of Mario Galaxy 2 and see that it still doesn't come up to SM3DW

 

[StoOgE]

The game that I really don't get is Knack. It looks really dull and kind of empty in most screenshots. Maybe in motion it does something else?

Killzone is the best looking next gen game by far I would say. Ryse is probably the second but there is a step down to Ryse.

 

[olimpia84]

Killer Instinct looks great.

 

[zroid]

 

[Rimon-hanit]

Dammn 3D world look so good, was going to to wait until bayonetta 2 but I'm really tempted

I agree that KZ is the most impressive, but if only it had the facial animations that Ryse has. Some of the animations are just wrong.

 

[Run-M-Run]

Although the motion blur in kz makes the screens messy, the quality of it seems fantastic! I wish I could play Shadow Fall on pc.. ,_,

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

WiiU AC Black Flag

these look really good!

Those are some pretty trees.

There is absolutely nothing about Knack that looks good to me in any of these screenshots. In motion it's even worse because of the framerate. Mario 3D World is just godly. Once again proving resolution means nothing next to art style and gameplay.

Speaking of gameplay, this game is awesome. I love when it purposely goes into slo-mo and you can see the individual voxels that make up your ship:

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Mario wins this and other threads. What a beautiful game.

 

[gogojira]

Killzone looks great, Mario looks gorgeous and Knack looks like it reuses that damn brown rock environment in every screenshot, lol.

 

[gamingeek]

Still doesn't look as good as it does on my tv.

Great looking game overall. Slight lack of AA on the cars bothers me and a little shimmering in the distance. Otherwise great.

 

[Riki]

How do you get those shots like that in NFSMWU? Geeze!
