Yakuza Nintendo Wii U Compared with PS3 Edition

Yakuza Nintendo Wii U Compared with PS3 Edition on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

During Nintendo Direct last week SEGA confirmed that the Yakuza series would be available on Wii U in HD form, but does it live up to the PS3 edition?

Last year SEGA released the same collection, Yakuza 1 & 2 HD Edition, on PlayStation 3. Since the Wii U announcement, new screenshots have emerged online and have been contrasted with the PS3 edition. The verdict? The Wii U edition lacks the same level of detail and is slightly jagged in appearance.

However the differences shouldn't indicate the capabilities of the console, more so development/developer optimisation. With several months to go, SEGA could and will likely tune up the Wii U edition to its full potential, but things are looking slightly rough from the outset as compared by Kotaku.

Remember that this are only test builds, first they need to implement the mechanics, then they will focus on the textures.

Why am I not surprised that people are already comparing, and criticizing the look of, an in development Wii U game with a polished and released version?

Looks like crap, my PS Vita could do better!

Yay, PS2 games on Wii U. I like how they're keeping it muddy.
