    This ports really looks worse than the 360 and PS3. I do know alot of people who have noticed it too.

    • loganku

      Kinda looks like an outdated Xbox 360 port.

      The Wii U version actually looks graphically better than the 360/PS3 version.

      my point exactly. its like 10 times worst then whatever demo, or trail thing, my brother got on our xbox. 360.

    • My ship sails in the morning

      I agree. Compared to the PS3 version I have, this looks way worse.

    • Whyareyoupsguyshere

      Yes lets rely on a digital camera to judge the graphics of a system running cryengine

    • My ship sails in the morning

      That screenshot

    • Whyispeopledumb

      recorded with a camera dude…

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      i think its becuz people are use to nintendo not having good graphics. they are probably being lazy about it, and not using the wii u’s true power.

    • stratisfire

      not really, it looks at least a little better than the ps3 version. i mean i have the pc and the 360 version and on max settings it totally destroys the 360 and you can tell that the wii u is at least a little better

    • Craig E

      You guys obviously know nothing about graphics… The Wii U version is superior factually.

    • http://facebook.com Octavius Fitzpatrick ( NintendoGear )

      No, not exactly, you’re failing to realize that this is being, recorded on a digital camera, so it is not showing us full quality. By the way its looks great.

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      sill. i seen the batman video on my wii. unless nintendo hand recorded it also, which wouldnt make sense at all, well my brother even thought whats up with the graphics too. if the graphics are as is, isnt not better then xbox. or nintendo used a video camera to record it too, and put it on the nintendo video on the wii.

    • Captain Falcon

      @Hybrilynx That’s where you probably went wrong. You watched the video on your Wii… obsolete resolution.

    • Alex Atkin UK

      LOL “but I watched the video on my Wii”

      EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING looks crap on the Wii on a HDTV.

      Its one reason I hate playing on it, 480p over lossy analog connections (component cannot output the full contrast ratio, never mind the resolution) even upscaled to 1080p looks dreadful. I have seen people playing Xbox 360 games on SDTVs, vastly inferior to the same game running on a HDTV.

      Now 720p over HDMI with deep colour support and uncompressed PCM 5.1 audio. That I might add is something the Xbox 360 cannot do, only the PS3.

      So how can you possibly compare the WiiU to PS3/Xbox using a Wii? That is just crazy. At LEAST download a 720p gameplay video from WiiU and comare it to a 720p gameplay video on the PS3 version, that would be a reasonable comparison. As most videos are crap bitrate so will look rubbish compared to the real game running on the console too.

    • Angel792

      No, it looks a lot better than the PS3 version.

      Wth are you faggot fanboys talking about? Before you start spouting bullshit, look at the ps3/360 comparison, 360 wins with anti-aliasing and better shadows mainly because the majority of these games are developed for PC. The Wii U surpasses the ps3 and 360 in anti-aliasing, shaders, and pixel count. Look at arkham city footage from Wii U and compare it to the 360, Wii U wins, not by a noticeable margin because you really can’t get any better graphics unless running at 1080p on your high-end pc. Nevertheless the difference between the Wii U fidelity against the high-end PC itself is almost unnoticeable. And that leaves both the ps3/360 a few gaps behind.

      although the ps3 version looks lame, those images are at a distance. any close up images would be nice, and make a better understanding to the details. distant images doesnt prove much. its like looking at 2 pictures on a computer screen, both 500px by 500px, but one picture is really 10,000px by 10,000px, and the other 1,000px by 1,000px. you wont notice much of a difference, unless your close up to the details on the image.

    • gamer272

      it’s a stopid camra get over it

  • Luciano Fran

    This is going to be the first game I get on the wii u

  • guest

    You guys need to stop trolling and go back to your ps forums and talk about how the vita is the next big thing in gaming you ass farts

    • Peskiest

      I’d agree… except for the fact that you were the first person to say “Vita” on this page.

    • http://asdf.com yoshibro

      Mr.Gust you are not helping (im not a sony fanboy) and the sony fanboys if you hate so much than get off the wii u blog

    • DeadlyScream

      @yoshibro i am just wandering, how were you offended by this?

    • http://ttgtt.com yoshibro

      i’m not I just want to have my first comment on this but both look great.

  • Ness

    I’d tap that.

  • http://asdf.com yoshibro

    Meelow you are right on eurogamer it looks better

  • http://asdf.com yoshibro

    but it looks the same as PS360

  • leo

    just no no i am dissapointed with the graphics . I hope they improve on this version because really it looks worse than the ps3 ver. I am not a Sony fanboy guys i’m with nintendo. If we don’t face the facts about this then well then were are ignorant. We can let this type of thing pass yes, gameplay over graphics but, come on it’s Wii U! It’s supposed to be more powerfull. Then again it could be just a shtty job at porting this title.

    • uPadWatcher

      That’s because, leo, it’s a pre-alpha test demo of the game. They’re now in the process of tweaking the graphics and play control. The Wii U title will become better than the one they previously had at E3. The Armoured Edition will be there at Wii U’s launch.

    • THEKIDNINTENDOWIIMAN

      That’s right, get mad over the gameplay, not the camera that was filming this, it’s all Nintendo’s fault we can’t see exacly what the system is producing through the lens of a crap camera.

  • uPadWatcher

    The Armored Edition for the Wii U looks incredible. The graphics look sharp and beautiful and the play control has depth and fluidity. I don’t care what the haters say about Batman: Arkham City: Armored Edition, I’m buying this game and Wii U!!!!!!!

  • 009soulmaster

    Guys, youre obviously forgetting this is a Port. and calm down. you cn judge how it is now but you can’t judge it fully until it comes out for the Wii U where you can see it running on the game system to see how it truly is.

  • mark

    Wow. that dude is the WORST Batman EVER. i would be too embarrassed to share that level of noobness with the wider world. also…..quit complaining, the graphics look great already. theyll look even better by launch.

  • linkman0596

    looks, ok, but i think the guy behind the controller kinda sucks at it. plus, i already have arkham city for the 360 with a bunch of DLC so they’re gonna have to put a lot more in it than what they’ve shown if they want to sell me, and many other’s i suspect

    • uPadWatcher

      That’s because the Armored Edition for the Wii U will have each and every DLC from Arkham City at no additional cost… including exclusive features you can’t get from the PS/360 or PC.

    • Zach

      WiiU has all DLC plus exclusive Content. Also not everyone has bought Arkham City yet. For instance although I have every console I haven’t bought Arkham City because i’m waiting for the Wii U version.

  • HAHAHAHA

    Nintendo fans always will be for Nintendo even if graphic is worst they will defending Nintendo face it Nintendo once again male weak console for little kids even not powerful as PS3/360

  • Zach

    2 reasons it doesn’t look as good as PS3/360 at the moment: 1. It’s in Alpha Stage, they haven’t tweaked the graphics entirely 2. It’s footage through a digital camera off a TV off-screen.

    So don’t worry, the game will look atleast as good as it’s PS3/360 counterpart in it’s final release.

  • WEEGEE

    how can we tell? we need to see this gameplay in person. BTW some cameras are not not clear due to pixle-limitations

  • harris

    i heard rumor that wii u would use amd radeon hd48xx which is much powerful than oldie nvidia 7xxx used in ps3.
    that impossible if wii u has worse graphical performance than current gen like x360 or ps3 except for bad coding in making that game.
    wii u will have at least 3-5 times more powerful gpu than x360 or ps3.
    remember, in term of pc gaming nvidia and amd had released gtx 6xx and hd7xxx w both are 10-15 times more powerful than ps3 and x360.
    even my amd a6 lappie is more powerful than ps3 and x360.
    so please, don’t compare oldie 8 years old gpu in ps3 and x360 with brand new console like wii u.
    what we need just a bunch of aaa title and exclusive title for wii u to compete in this era, and innovation of course

  • Jerry

    The reason it looks bad is because it was recorded with a potato

    • AquaFire

      What in the world are you smoking.
      My potato records 7680 × 4320.
      So you’re going to have to find another reason pal.

  • leo

    Well didnt know this was in alpha when i posted so please excuse me . lots of time to perfect things in the game. Yes, the camera is also “crap”

  • Gregglies

    just another gimmick nintendo. The game has been out for a while. The gamepad is adding nothing to the game play. How f’n retarded can you be. And i’m sorry everyone who is saying this or that. I have no seen once piece of video that makes batman on wii u look graphically better than current gens. The batman graphics on wii u actually look horrible. Why, Nintendo, WHY

  • ddddd

    People that actualy played the game at E3 complained about the graphics. Its not the camera. And it wouldnt be shocking to learn that whoever is porting this is more concerned about the pad than visuals.
