Darksiders II dev: Wii U offers more power |
Listed in: News Tags: darksiders ii, Nintendo, vigil
Vigil, developers behind Darksiders II, claim that Wii U provides more power than PS3 and Xbox 360.
"We're not trying to bump up or bump down, but we reached it, and it wasn't hard. Once we got it up and running it was like 'cool, there it is. We're still waiting on that final hardware and architecture, and help from Nintendo to figure that out," said Vigil's Jay Fitzloff.
"Right now, it looks like it's more than the 360 or PlayStation 3, but there's still a question mark about how much you can squeeze out of it. You know how it is, a new system, tricks get learned as the lifespan goes along, so this is where we're starting, and it looks good. There was pressure originally as we only got the Wii U development kits about six weeks before E3 and wanted to get it up and running. Learning new hardware is the hardest part, it's uncharted territory," he continued. "You have a problem with Xbox, you call up, and the answers online - it's all ready. Whereas this time, you call up after finding a problem, and they're like 'wow, we don't know, let us know if you find an answer!' It's not hurting the other platforms because to get Wii U running we need dedicated heads to think about how we're going use the Wii U platform to make the game cool."
EA says that Wii U transcends anything that the company has done before.

Just wait until PS4 comes out and its f*cking 4ghz octacore, 16 thread, graphics power like a freakin triple SLI'd 490. Then nintendo freaks will say "COPYING WII CUZ HD GRAPHICS WOW AND OUR CONTROLLER BETTER".
I hate nintendo lovers... I'm not just saying that either. I have a wii and its fine, but people who think nintendo is just the best are idiots...

Intel have an 8 core Xeon E5 with hyper-threading on the way. Clocked at 3ghz, but I bet it'll go higher easily.
And you can have up to 4 dual gpu's in SLI if you have a mobo that supports it (ie pci express 3.0). It is existent tech, just not cheap. Yet.

4 GPUs is rather pointless, 8 is even more pointless only because the PCIe bus can't handle that much data. That's why SLI isn't DOUBLE the performance when you add a second card. Which makes 3 only barely worth it and it makes 4 cards hardly worth it. You wont really get your monies worth.

But honestly I've never seen any benchmarks on such a setup. Do you have anything to look at?
Another misconception.... many MBs only support 16X across two ports. Yet they support 3 way SLI. Once you plug in that 3rd card then you downgrade all your GPUs to 8x. I discovered that the hard way when I added a third card to a system only to have it perform LESS. Had to change the MB.
