This game pretty much confirms what I've been saying for years now, the gap in graphics between the Wii U and the Xbone/PS4 isn't going to be that big and hardly noticable to the average person. The footage from the newest trailer easily stands up to the gameplay footage that was shown for those systems yesterday.
Pretty much shows how full of **** most third parties are when they say the Wii U isn't powerful enough to handle the games they're making. This game easily blows away anything third parties developed for the 360/PS3 and rivals their current Xbone/PS4 games as well.
Look, I'm eagerly looking forward to "X" as much as everyone else here, especially as a big fan of Xenoblade, but X is not on the same level as some of the games shown yesterday. X is certainly one gorgeous little game, but there's still a pretty noticeable technical gap between it and the next-gen console games. Just for the sake of argument, here are some gameplay videos for comparison. For the sake of being fair to the next-gen consoles, I picked two built-from-ground-up-for-PS4 games:
First off, X's trailer:
Then, Infamous Second Son's gameplay trailer:
Killzone: Shadow Fall's gameplay demo:
There's a pretty clear technical distinction there. That shouldn't be held against X. Monolith's obviously done very well with what Nintendo's given them, but I think it's a bit premature to say that X makes the leap between console generations look indistinguishable.
