Monolith's "X" game and Wonderful 101 both look gorgeous.

They all look quite nice to me. We'll see how they end up looking on my TV though. 720p honestly ain't that bad if there is a decent amount of AA on there.

X doesn't look like a huge leap over Star Ocean 4. It's also must be easy to make an open world game if all you populate it with is a few dragons and bland terrain.
Most of those games look good, but it is the art style and cartoon like graphics that make them look good and stand out.
The monolith game has promise but shows nothing we haven't seen before.
I dont know why ppl would say they look better than anything ps3/xbox have because thats pure hyperbole. None of those games look as good or better than TLOU, GOW Ascension, Beyond, etc.....

No, no it didn't... COD was a much prettier game, Perfect Dark felt very last gen but higher resolution in terms of graphics and the feel of gameplay (sliding camera syndrome)
Mostly looks fairly good. As long as the games are good and don't look bad on my TV this time, then i'm happy. I learnt long ago to only ever expect good gameplay from Nintendo and not necessarily anything else. And they can still do that as good as anyone out there. I'll save the awesome graphics for PC games.
Wonderful 101 looks exceptionally good though. As mentioned, it's down to art style, but so what.

Looks good but nothing that outdoes the best of whats on 360/PS3.
Yup. Even though some of these were shown after launch I feel these still count as the first wave of games. I don't feel it's enough to compare to yet.
I mean Pikmin 3 looks like crap technically (and it's my most anticipated game anywhere), but the others look like reasonable Xbox 360 and PS3 titles, maybe slightly better if the framerate is steady in Xenoblade U.
Love the style for Wonderful 101. Yoshi just looks like Epic Yarn in HD, so it's of course gorgeous. But since Epic Yarn was just the most boring platformer of all time, I hope it doesn't play anything like Epic.

Looks...
Nothing like a Monster Hunter clone. Have you actually played Monster Hunter? Or Xenoblade by chance?
Scale and dismemberment doesn't make it similar to Monster Hunter.
A lot of these games have trailers and footage.

They look like they'd fit right in on 360/PS3. Which is exactly what any reasonable person would expect.
Was your problem with the challenge of Epic Yarn?

X is the only one that looks impressive.

None of those are anything that PS360 haven't seen.
Otherwise, will you argue with something else than a gif, supposing make fun of what I said ?
I doubt we've seen something with that graphic quality + draw distance + scale on PS360.
Even Final Fantasy Versus XIII doesn't look as good or as huge.

Yes it does, yes I played. Please, it's a party raid on dragons. Oh they've put Lost Planet in it too.

I'd say that Wonderful 101 looking like it does at what looks to be a stable 60 fps is more than just good art direction...

Aside from WW HD, they're estheticaly very pleasing (love that Yoshi's Epic Yarn look) but technically, they seem in the current gen ballpark, not exactly jaw dropping.

I honestly don't care about how bleeding edge console games can be. They can take what's possible on Wii U and make compelling experiences. Wonderful 101 isn't crazy technical but the presentation is arguably peerless.
Xenoblade looked terrific but it played better. I even thought the modest character models were extremely expressive.
Yoshi hasn't convinced me, but it looks like decent followup to Story.

That is was the most snore-inducing nothing game I've ever played in my life? That I could practically close my eyes and beat the levels and collect everything without blinking?
I mean, I didn't even get hit by any obstacles or enemies until like the fourth world in. It was ridiculous. It was the most insultingly designed platformer I played on any of the consoles last gen, that's for sure.
it's one thing to be 'easy', like the Mario games tend to be. It's another thing to continually insult your audiences intelligence with just baby level design. But that's just me! Anyway, off topic somewhat.

These screens look very nice. That said, if the next Xbox and Playsation don't blow this stuff out of the water, I'll be a bit disappointed.

Like someone else stated, the art direction looks great for a few of those games but it doesnt look like anything a PS3 or 360 couldnt do right now.
To be fair, these titles definitely won't be released before E3.
Yea. I really hope you can at least die in the new Yoshi game. Or have the option to die.

I think everything looks fantastic except for Pikmin 3, on a graphical level. I think what we saw of Bayonetta 2 (admittedly little) looked promising as well.
Red Dead Redemption.

How did I miss these anouncements? The screens in the OP look AMAZING.
I mean I loved Epic Yarn's style, don't get me wrong. Wonderfully clever in how they implemented it into obstacles and graphical effects. And it looks to be the same with Yoshi. BUT, I also want a great game, ya know?
