Treyarch Confirms Call Of Duty Ghosts Wii U Resolution

call of duty ghosts

One of the Wii U developers for Call of Duty: Ghosts at Treyarch has confirmed that the game will run at 880 x 720. The developer notes that it’s the same resolution as Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on the Wii U. The Xbox One version of the game runs at 720p upscaled to 1080p while the PlayStation 4 version runs at native 1080p.

  1. The Troll Who Owns A 3DS (AND WII U!)

    Fuck ReviewTechUSA, his credible source said it was 1080P 60FPS what the fuck is wrong with that Bald Bill Headed Faggot?

    1. Seriously? ReviewTechUSA was the messenger. You can’t blame him for reporting false info. Websites report on false info all the time, and I’m sure you don’t bash them for that.

      1. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

        Yeah, what an asshole for reporting on a “rumor”, that’s kind of 90% of news sites on the internet.

        It does sound like Rich’s “inside sources” set him up though, although Yoshida actually acknowledging his video was kinda weird…

    1. What an idiot you are. Its running at 720p, hmmm the same native resolution as the over priced XboxOne that is said to be next Gen.

      WiiU/PS4 for all my gaming needs.

      1. well actually native 720p would be 1280*720 but it’s good enough for a COD game i’d say

        i think it’s funny tho that he calls it “weak u” while even the PS4 can’t run all its games in native 1080p @ 60 fps.. pretty weak for a supposedly “next gen” console ain’t it? :)

        yes it is..
        or maybe, *just* maybe “next gen” isn’t just down to power after all like so many idiots (prolly idiots like him) kept saying

        sometimes i pity humankind for having to bear with such numbnuts

        1. Dude, the real idiot doesn’t understand that not all games are on a plane. Just because some games won’t run at 1080p on the PS4 doesn’t mean that these games will look the same on the Wii U. Even Call of Duty has way more effects on the PS4 version, on top of being 1080p and 60fps. Regardless of how you feel about graphics that can be seen, the PS4 and Xbox One are significantly more powerful than the Wii U.

        1. Am I the only one noticing 880×720 means almost SQARE ratio? I bet that’s a typo on the wide axis. Of course it’s 16:9 so will be 1280×720. Come on people you can,t really be THAT dumb.

          1. it’s no big deal to upscale one aspect ratio to a different one, just have to adjust the location of the sample points in the scene you want to render (i.e. adjust the FOV) so the image doesn’t look stretched

            1. by location i mean spacing of course

              sample points in the horizontal line need more spacing since the pixels in the horizontal resolution will be stretched more by scaling to 16:9

        2. The only thing I’ve heard people moan about regarding BLOPS II for Wii U is the lack of DLC not the resolution.

          1080p or even 720p would be nice but this is activision we’re talking about, they’re still butt hurt over BLOPS II selling only 200k, they’re not going to go all out on Ghosts.

        3. There is NO REASON why a “cookie cutter” game like Call of Duty can’t run at 1080p/60fps on the Wii U…PERIOD! More graphically heavy games have already been shown for the Wii U easily running in those specifications! These developers aren’t bothering with learning how to program for the Wii U, so they just throw crap games at it in hopes to make a quick buck! They are stuck up spoiled assholes who want people to just bow down at whatever crap they make when they are just lazy fuckers trying to screw Nintendo for being “kiddie” but are for than gung ho for fluffing the new kid in town! Keep your Call of Dooky!

              1. “Infinity Ward” Treyarch is developing the Wii U version. Also, you said the game should run in 1080p 60FPS on every console, yet a much more powerful console can only get 720p. Are you saying that IW hates both Xbone and Wii U, thus only fully supporting the PS4? Even though they have partnerships with Microsoft?

                1. 1) I never said that all consoles should run at those specifications, I said that Wii U already has games running at those specifications.
                  2) http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-need-for-speed-most-wanted-wii-u-face-off
                  This is what a rushed Wii U game looks like from a talented developer.(Took 6 months!)
                  3) http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/11/bayonetta-2-wild-wicked-and-completely-unbelievable
                  This is what 1080p/60fps looks like on Wii U if you take the time to make a good game.
                  4) Here is some literature for you to glance at…
                  http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PS4_vs._Xbox_One_vs._Wii_U_Comparison_Chart
                  5) Stop putting words in other people’s mouthes…it’s not nice.

            1. it’s of course easier to run higher resolutions when more resources are available on a system.. that’s why most PC ports are so shoddy.. developers don’t bother much with optimizing because PCs can leverage high FPS with high processing power regardless of optimizations… it’s very inefficient but it works

              i don’t think we have to argue that both the xbox one and the PS4 have more processing resources at their disposal

              i also don’t think we have to argue that they’re trying to save money on the development of COD where they can or where they don’t think it’s necessary to spend more..
              COD is a cash cow.. it’s not being created the way it is because the developers responsible enjoy delivering as good a game as they can, it’s being created the way it is because the people at activision like having their pockets lined

        1. i my self pissed off at nin for banned me on miiverse im just gonna stick with microsoft its ok you guys can keep calling wii u crap… just make sure to bash the wii u & set it fire

  2. The only thing that could save this version is that it has more players instead of 12. I don’t blame the wii u not even one 1%.

  3. i still can’t wait to actually see a good comparsion video: ps3 vs wii u vs ps4. just 3 version on screen to see how it looks.

  4. Meh.

    People are expecting to much from Wiiu. If people were expecting it to match the PS4 version then they’re nuts. It SHOULD and I repeat it SHOULD look a bit better than the current gen versions. But only if the developers take the time to do so.

    The Wiiu version has Wii remote support and off tv play! at least that is something.

      1. wow, blind nintendrone. Admit it, the only thing good about the Wii U is games, which is the most important thing for a console anyway.

        1. Yea he’s another one of those hypocrites with the graphics topic. *brags Mario and friends is 1080p 60fps (which anyone can achieve)

          But when a game with REAL detail and texture comes along Wii U can’t handle it at 1080p 60fps. he says “resolution don’t matter”

          #lolfanboyhypocrites
          #loldatlogic

          1. And yet here you are on a NINTENDO fan site trolling about a console that you have no interest in and don’t own. Congratulations on letting a piece of plastic that says ” Nintendo ” on it and a group of people that happen to like it own your little ignorant adolescent mind…smh

          2. anything that nintendo humping edward says should just be taken irrelevant. he would buy a box of shit from nintendo and say its the most innovated thing created and it smells good and he also has a picture of the walking shitstain himself. anything he has to say is irrelevant, a nintensheep at its finest. a damagcondrone at the finest a corporate slave, its just unbelievable how much fanboy is in him.

          3. are u an idiot? the wii u version runs close to 60fps, thats what a treyarch dev said in the official forums. But tbe ps4 and xbox one can only run it at 30 fps, see the difference?

          4. Well, you really can’ t call Nintendo fans drones. I mean look at the status of western games. All of them are essentially first person shooters and sandbox games; and the twist is you are developing them and not getting payed! Most western companies take in feed back from the fans (Who have become increasingly self entitled and obnoxious in my opinion) and build their next game engine around that, as well as keeping up with current game trends. Call me crazy but that isn’t innovative design. Sure, there are some great western games like Mirror’s Edge, The Last Of Us, and so many more, but many of them just don’t appeal to me.

            Personally, I was raised on games published by Japanese companies. Games like Megaman, Mario, Zelda, Metal Gear, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Sonic, Virtual On, Jet Set Radio, Final Fantasy etc. we’re all great and innovative games. They really entice the imagination and inspired a lot of my art work. These games now are few and far between as western development is strong out here and many games are emphasized on photorealism that its becoming stagnant and repetitive similar to how Hollywood’s movies are.

            This is one of the reasons why I still love Nintendo, they do things their own way and make fun imaginative games. Sure, they tend to repeat their games, but I at least have solace in knowing they will change the way I play the game, and I’ll know it will be a fun game for me as we’ll as my family to play, and in times where i have a single player game to enjoy I can enjoy it on my own with a Wii U tablet or my family could watch since they are curious about some of the games I play.

            I really do enjoy some western games though, I got 10th prestige in black ops 2 and I plan to do the same in Ghost lol. It’s just some games being made these days don’t excite me. I enjoy playing Basketball and Driving more than playing their game equivalents. Nintendo just knows how to make fun games.

    1. They’re most probably porting it from Xbox 360 version.
      Doing as much copy pasting as they can.

      Games can be made to look amazing on any platform, if developers take their time.

      And yes, people should not expect Wii U to reach PS4 in performance,
      and they should rather laugh at the gap of performance of XBOne.

    2. Your wrong sir. I seen comparison of AC4 on PS4 and PS3. Not a big difference.if I saw a Wii U and PS4 it also wouldn’t ba a huge difference.

      1. Shokio on YouTube put up some PS4 footage of AC4 and claimed it was Wii U footage. People couldn’t tell the difference (they started saying the graphics sucked compared to the PS4 version, not realizing it was the PS4 version the whole time).

        1. I rember that video and those comments. From day one I thought for an 8 core console those graphics were shitty.

    3. How are people nuts if they expect the WiiU to be on par with the Playstation4 ? Both are next-gen consoles, so the WiiU very well should be on par with it, or at least close to it. But it isn’t and there is no excuse for that.

      1. is there an excuse for the PS4 not being on par with my PC (BF4 -> 1600*900 -> a whopping 30% below full HD resolution)?
        i don’t think there is

        does that make the PS4 less of a next gen gaming device? i don’t think it does

        1. While I don’t agree that Wii U and PS4 should be on par, I can’t support your rebuttal argument of PC and PS4. PC is not a static video game console. There’s no set standard for a PC as they are constantly evolving and coming in various forms each month.

          This is why PC vs console debates are stupid. Of course (certain maxed out) PC’s will always be more powerful and run games the best.

          1. oh my PC is very far from being maxed out

            my point being that you’ll always be able to cram more powerful hardware into a device but that’s costly
            they could have made a PS4 that can keep up with todays high end PCs and sold it at +600$ again but they didn’t.. for obvious reasons i believe

            the wii u delivers what it can for the price it’s being sold at
            the hardware of the wii u, as i’m sure you know, isn’t focused solely on mere 3d performance

            and that shows that there is also no set standard for a console.. or what is supposed to be considered next gen and what isn’t.. that description certainly isn’t down to just hardware power because if it is then both the xbox one and the PS4 have already lost

    4. People aren’t expecting to much from Wiiu, they just expect the best possible version for their money.. Which they’re not really getting with 3rd party ports..

          1. Didnt read much in to it, since topic does not interest me, but something about resolution being same as Xbox 360 using same kind of upscaling.

          2. Indeed. But the horizontal resolution of 880 is confusing. I mean, what kind of resolution is 880×720? Is that even 16:9? 720p is indeed 1280×720. But the Wii U has the same vertical resolution, very confusing.

            1. 880 x 720: 880 / 720 = 1.222

              1280 x 720: 1280 / 720 = 1.777

              Very confusing, indeed. Where in the world 1.222 is the same of 1.777? :o

              1. it doesn’t have to be

                you can scale any aspect ratio up or down to any other

                you just have do adjust the FOV accordingly so the image doesn’t look stretched

                1. 880 pixels -> 1920 pixels: 54% interpolation ratio
                  this doesn’t mean only 54% of pixels will undergo interpolation.. at a ratio this high very nearly 100% of the pixels will have undergone interpolation
                  it just means that your source signal delivers 46% of the color values that you need for the final picture, the rest has to come from interpolating said color values

                  720 pixels -> 1080 pixels: 33% interpolation ratio
                  here as well most pixels will have undergone interpolation since the location of the original pixel doesn’t necessarily have to corelate with the pixel you want to display on the higher resolution display -> you need to find a color value that’s adjacent to your rendered pixel and located exactly at the location where you want the pixel to show up on the panel
                  but there should be more pixels retaining their original color value or being very close to it at least (interpolation is usually bad as it can destroy detail making the picture blurry)

                  this means that textures and the like will be less detailed in horizontal direction than they will be in vertical direction

  5. So… devs still won’t really try with Wii U thinking no one is gonna buy it, and not many people buy games on Wii U because devs don’t really try? I’d love it if this loop ended soon.

    This + strong possibility/high probability of no DLC on the Nintendo console version once again (seems to) = me buying it PS360 IF I decide to get it and then paying $10 more to upgrade to the next gen version later… This is disappointing. I’d love to have the full experience of something 3rd party on Wii U. Especially since Off-TV play was so handy…

  6. Oh damn it… oh well, I’ll still buy it anyway for the Wii U :)
    Would have bought it for my Xbox One or PS4 but I’ll get for the Wii U because its out earlier and I can play off screen.

    1. Off screen is the best feature on the tablet controller…. Actually, have you played Wii Fit U yet!? It is REALLY good. They use the tablet controller like no other game before it and also, when combined with the Wii Fit Board, the games have an all new level of dynamic. Wii Fit U really shows what the tablet controller is used for.

      There is this one minigame that requires you to serve Miis desserts and you have to walk on the fit board while holding the tablet controller flat so the items don’t fall off. It is crazy fun and actually pretty hard. That minigame alone has encouraged me to go out and get the pedometer so I can keep Wii Fit.

      1. I agree. I am addicted to off-tv play. The controller has given me so much gaming flexibility, and my WiiFit meter is on the way! (ordered from amazon.)

        You can join my gym: Dry_Bones_Burners
        My WiiU ID is ‘Moodeeb’

      2. I only play my WiiU off screen. I don’t have a tv and my HD computer does not have speakers. The best feature of a gaming console which does make it next Gen. Graphics does not make a console next Gen. Still I don’t understand why cod can’t be exactly the same for Wii U as it is for the other consoles. It’s half assed so people won’t buy it and then the complaining about people not buying it will start. Some of us have stopped spending our hard earned money on half of a game. Half content should equal half price. Oh and please start announcing titles for all consoles at the same time. It’s always the the other two and then Wii U months later. By this time momentum has built around the other two and preorders are already in.

  7. I didn’t expect 1080p 60fps anyways. This is actually good news to me, all it means is next gen games on Wii u aren’t too far from the competition. Xbox can’t even do native 1080p either, so I don’t see the big deal.

  8. I love Wii U but i’m going to get most of my multiplats for PS4, not only because of the graphics. The Dualshock 4 is fantastic.

    1. All this tells me is when i buy a Wii U and PS4, I’m only getting multiplatforms for PS4 and exclusives and Nintendo games for Wii U, i’m heavily dissappointed with Wii U’s power. Fuck Nintendshit. Sony does what Nintendon’t.

        1. Well the devs ain’t utilising shit. I don’t even think i want a Wii U anymore, atleast until mario kart or metroid comes out.

      1. Weak U is Weak because Nintendo wanted to cut cost. They are cheap and will cut cost wherever they can. Low GB storage, no online in 1st parties that matter. Those are examples of Nintendo being cheap asses (even tho they are “rich”)

        1. Wii U is the strongest console out. How are they cheap? They have the most advanced controller of the 8th generation. I didnt see people complaining about PS2 when it was significantly weaker than Xbox and GameCube, how come 70 percent of you people are flaming Wii U? It’s a Nintendo site.

          1. Its next Gen brothers aren’t even out yet so of course the Wii U is going to be the strongest when comparing it to 7 year old hardware but for this Gen its considered weak and when ps4/XO drop Wii U is going to be the weakest of the 3 (and weaker by a huge margin)

            1. When you compare PS4 to Wii U i’m defenseless but Wii U to Xbox is a different story. Xbox’s resolution is not that big of a difference to Wii U’s. Wii U with a game is 300$ and displays “okay graphics” XO is 500$ and displays graphics only slightly noticable to Wii U’s until the next few years. Wii U>XO

              1. Specs wise ps4/XO outclass wii U by a huge margin. Showing wii U as a weak next Gen console But I see what you’re saying and I would pick wii U over xbone too (even tho I hate both)

                  1. its a strong vacuum ill say that. its a pretty good housewives novelty system. you get a vacuum a swiffer, then a toaster (that makes toast to the perfect crisp) *crunch* mmmmmmm yum *holds in tears* delicious…….. this is the best video game system ever……..

                    ooohhhh who am i kidding this console is the worst thing since the ouya!!!!!!

              2. This is bull crap, their is no reason what soever that the wii u version isn’t native 720p, by that i mean 1280 by 720p!!!! this is not on, they said it would be better then current gen on wiiu but not as good as next gen, and so in-between, how on earth is this in between? if it was native 720p like the X1 then i would have said fine, but come off it!

                It wont have any dlc support, also most likely it wont get allot of patch support, it will have a tiny online community just like black ops 2 did, remind me again why anyone who is getting a PS4 or X1 should bother with the wii u version? hell i would now rather buy it on my xbox 360 or PS3 instead of wii u! off tv play is not enough to justify the purchase when in all other areas they have been lazy! wii u has a substantially more powerful gpgpu, and double the usable ram, so again why is the game not rendering at native 1280 by 720p? maybe Microsoft told them not to do it, since this would have killed them after all the PS4 native 1080p cod ghosts de-buckle! DAM LAZY ASS COD DEVELOPERS!!

                Just how is this between generations? its just a 360 port with off screen play thrown in! at the very least we should have gotten higher res textures,better draw distances, and a higher native resolution with a more stable frame rate! Blops2 on wii u is light years better then the PS3 version, and is pretty much on par with the 360 version, but we all know the wii u can do better!

                1. I know how you feel, but when you think about it, does resolution really matter? no, it doesnt make the game any funner. And remember, we have off tv play and they don’t :)

          2. Because the guy you’re replying to is a idiot troll with no common sense. He rather come here to tease Nintendo fans like a little 8 year old kid instead of going to another fan site to show support for Sony or Microsoft. He here is crying on this site about a console he’ll never own and doesn’t like anyway. Stupid clown is calling Nintendo ” cheap asses ” when Sony and Microsoft are using the same CHEAP ass AMD GPGPUs and tablet/smartphone based APUs. What a fucking dumbass that guy is. LOL

    2. I think the Wii U tablet to be the best controller out right now. I’m sick of those boring old controllers that have no screen on them. The only controller I’d sacrifice my Wii U tablet for would be a Game Cube controller. I wish Nintendo would come out with a Game Cube classic controller for Wii U.

      1. The WiiU Tablet controller is everything EXCEPT a gimmick. I love inventory management a la DS style. Off screen play is great.
        I know we’re getting fucked on 3rd party games, but the game play on the WiiU is excellent.

        Frankly. We’re lucky we’re even getting Cod Ghosts give the epic clusterfuck sales wiiu has.

        1. Everything you’ve said is true. Wii U Tablet is fantastic, Wii U needs more 3rd party support, but everything on the Wii U so far is a blast and yeah, I can’t believe we are getting CoD on Wii U either. It’s probably because Activision wants to try and sell more than GTAV, but who really knows?

  9. Now that the Weak U version isn’t 1080p all you fanboys version are like “resolution don’t matter” but the other do you guys were like “all are games are 1080p 60fps” fucking hypocrites lol. I told you anyone can get Mario 1080p 60fps but when a game like cod (way more detail than Mario) more textures etc Wii U can’t handle it that well.

    1. The last great Nintendo system was GameCube, Nintendo is to stupid to make another one. You might be trolling but i’m not, i’m serious.

      1. No im legit when I say the Wii U is weak and was a rushed and lazy system. BUT since its not considered a “nice” thing about Nintendo im considered a “troll” lol even tho I’m not but yea i agree game cube was there last real home console that they tried the hardest on and it was they’re best home console to me. They brought innovation through there games not through gimmick controllers. I miss when Nintendo knew what they were doing

        1. Na the Wii U wasn’t a rushed system. The developer didnt want to make it seem as if Wii U was more powerful than Xbone. That’s all. Microsoft could be paying developers to be sure that any multi games Wii U version don’t surpass Xbone. That’s all it’s about. After all Wii U has games that do 1080p 60fps.

    2. Textures are actually the least demanding graphical resource. What really pushes graphics hardware are things like shading and particle effects. BTW, you accuse people of fanboyism, but calls the Wii U “Weak U”… isn’t that the same thing? Sure, you’re not showing allegience to a certain brand, but you clearly dislike the Wii U.

      1. Well no that wouldn’t consider me to be a fanboy and I don’t like Wii U because all the dumb shit Nintendo does with it.

    3. You are a troll because you call it the “Weak U,” which is clearly a term you use to get angry replies. The Wii U is a great console and if you don’t like it, don’t visit this website or AT LEAST, don’t comment.

    1. sonic lost world is also not a very demanding game, graphically. it’s all just simple models with barely any texture, the fact that they got it running at 60fps at that draw distance was a miracle or some kind of advanced sega trickery haha. COD needs to render tons of shit on screen with more detail and better models which is a lot of work for the wii u’s GPU.

        1. What i understand wii u 800×720 and xboxone 1280×720 so u guys tell me which is better or than difference, i already see a number difference, btw i got pre ordered wii u version, because wii u can do what no other system can which is Nintendo s off tv mutiplayer, and not sure what the feature is called correctly, becuse i hate split screen on my tv… But regardless i still say the ” U” version should have been 1080p 60fps natively! So this mean it going to probably look like black opps 2, not with any next gen features, smh

      1. Just one thing, wait till a Metroid, F-Zero, Zelda, X from Monolith Soft comes out and then you can prove me wrong the WiiU isn’t able to handle it.

  10. So the resolution is the most major difference with Ghosts and Bo2, no buy! They can change the name every year but goddamnit they cant change the game!

  11. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

    The fact that some people are surprised by this amazes me, the Wii U can do 1080p but there’s no way that Activision would let Treyarch produce a 1080p version on a Nintendo console.

  12. They must have taken a lot of shortcuts, because ofcourse the Wii u can handle the normal 720p resolution 1280 x 720 on a game like Cod. Even bayonetta 2 is running 1080p 60fps on wii u. And that game require some power in the console to do that.

    You can’t get the best performance a console can do on a game by doing shortcuts, but putting as much work into it as you can to make it as good as possible can do wonders.

    I’m not going to claim that the wii u version has much copy pasted from the previous generation versions, but there is a possibillity.

  13. look at all these hypocrite fanboys. yesterday, “yeah wii u is a very strong console it runs COD GOSTS 1080p60fps and xbox one doesnt!! that thing is weaker than wii u.

    today, damage control. you also just exposed yourselves secretly graphic whores, now going back to tat gameplay over graphics again (damage control) nintrones care about graphcs but they cant get them because nintendo makes a worthless turd of a controller that wont flush when i shit on it and a crappy swiffer for a console that burnt my house down!!!!!

    1. Yet, when you look at the CoD trailer for Wii U vs. the Xbox One, you can’t tell the difference…. Numbers don’t mean shit anymore. 1080, 880, 720….HD is HD.

      1. Exactly. Meanwhile the PS3 & Xbox One versions are still sub-HD but yet the PC, PS4, Xbox One & Wii U versions are all true HD but yet the Wii U is still deemed as a last gen console by these Nintendo hating trolls. Fucking idiots

    2. There wasn’t one fucking Nintendo fan saying nor bragging about COD:Ghosts being native 1080p 60fps for the simple fact that we got lied to before but I do recall you idiot ass Sony and Microsoft clowns bragging about and saying that Battlefield 4 would be native 1080p 60fps and look what happened LOL. All what we Nintendo fans were saying is that this graphical leap will be minuscule at best not that huge as a lot of you clowns were making it out to be…DEAL WITH IT DICKHEAD!!!

    3. Umm..I think you’re gaming wrong. Also, I think you might want to talk with an electrician, or whatver, and also check the cables before plugging them in. There might be something wrong with the wiring or something, I leave my Wii U plugged it all the time….well, actually it’s pretty much turned on the entire day, because I forget to shut it off sometimes, and have never been at risk of a fire, at least not to my knowledge.

  14. I recently saw the 360 and PS3 visuals compared to Xbox One and PS4 and honestly… there wasn’t much of a difference at all. The two looked almost identical. Yes the One and PS4 were definitely “better,” in things like water texture, more dynamic landscape and lightning, but overall it wasn’t anything spectacular.It is DEFINITELY not worth spending another $400 so you can get rippling water and flowing curtains…

    If they didn’t tell me which was the 360 and PS3/ Xbox One and PS4, I guarantee I would mix them up.- That is how similar they looked.

  15. HAHAHAHA! The baby underpowered console can barely run the game at 720p. No surprise there, not even Nintendo could get their lame 2D Mario rehash launch game to run at 1080p. Their underpowered running on 7 year old hardware excuse of a toy console can’t do any better. Even Ubisoft has stated that Watch Dogs on Wii U looks closer to current gen than next gen.

    This game will sell like 5 copies on the baby console anyways (the 5 people who got a Wii U thinking that it’s “hardcore” lololol). Babies only buy their baby games, although not sure about that one either. Babies couldn’t even buy their baby wonderful 101, Pikmin 3 and Zelda games hence they sold badly lolol. If those 5 who get this game would want to play online all 5 of them would have to get online at the same time to get a game going lololol!

    1. HAHAHAHA! The baby Katamari can barely even troll. No surprise there, not even Katamari could understand how video game graphics work. He thinks Xbox One and PS4 are SOOOO high tech when technically they are under powered already compared to PC.

      Ubisoft said Watch Dogs on Wii U IS closer to current gen than next gen. Not that it LOOKS closer. Watch Dogs on Wii U basically looks the same as Watch Dogs on other next gen consoles. Numbers mean nothing.

      CoD on the Wii U will probably sell many copies lololol. Gamers only buy good games, although people like Katamari think they are gamers when they don’t even own a Nintendo console. They didn’t even buy Pikmin 3 or Zelda games despite them being really popular and selling well. If Katamari wants to play online he’ll have to turn his headset off or face being kicked off his team. No one wants to play with a moron who spews shit from their mouth.

    2. Well, I pre-ordered Ghosts for Wii U a couple days ago so I guess that brings up the total to 6, lol. Although I didn’t buy it because it was “Hardcore”. I bought it because I enjoy CoD and I know a few people who are getting it as well for Wii U, so I’ll be playing with them as well.

  16. All this saying is that COD Ghosts for the Wii U is an unoptimized port of the 360 version. Black Ops 2 ran in the same resolution. Not even close to being a news story, and not even troll bait worthy. Nothing to see here. Move along.

    1. Like Sonic Lost World. I think it is a great game, but critics shat all over it. Look on Metacritic and you’ll see the user score is much higher than the critic score.

  17. This is not the wiiu’s fault it doesn’t run at 1080p native, it easy can run that believe me.you need 18mb edram to run 1080p,and the wiiu got doubled that.the wiiu got 38edram…

  18. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

    Obviously this is going to be troll bait for the massively uninformed and the fanboy elite. The Wii U has twice the amount of eDRAM that’s required to render in 1080p, as i’ve alluded to before it’s not the specs it’s the politics…

    3rd Party List of Priorities:

    1st: PS4, Xbox One
    2nd: 360, PS3
    3rd: Wii U

    This is how it’s been for a while and it isn’t going to change anytime soon.

  19. Wii U and PC are definitely the best combo since most games on Playstation and Xbox you can get on Steam for half the price. I don’t really need to explain the Wii U, do I?

  20. there are screenshots on NeoGaf and sadly it looks to be a straight up PS360 port. Many don’t think it’s even on par with BO2. Seems like they put absolute minimum effort for the Wii U version. Unless you absolutely have to have the offscreen gamepad play I personally would not buy this version. Being a Wii U owner, I have to admit that this is a little jarring. I kept telling myself that once multi plats came out we’d finally see how the Wii U compared. But if devs aren’t even going to try it looks like the Wii U may just be a 1st party machine and we may need to learn to accept that. Oh well, I just hope to hell it survives long enough for a Zelda U, Galaxy U, Metroid and X to come out. Then I will be alright.

    1. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

      Treyarch have debunked those images via twitter, although they were very cagey when asked whether the Wii U version was a 360 port.

      They also couldn’t comment on why there’s no DLC for Nintendo platforms, Something’s definitely going on, I’d love to know exactly what it is…

      1. It is a 360 port. Pretty much all Wii U multiplats are. Some are optimized, others are not, but they are all 7th-gen 360 ports. The reason why companies don’t admit this is because they are trying to perpetuate the myth that the Wii U versions are built ground-up and are not powerful enough to handle the versions made for the “next-gen” when in actuality they are unoptimized 360 ports the majority of the time. When ports are optimized you get fantastic looking games such as NFS:MWU. When you see ground-up multiplats like Rayman Legends they look outstanding.

        Unless is it a 1st-party title, 2nd-party title, or a dedicated 3rd-party exclusive (such as Sonic: Lost World, Project X, Bayonetta 2, etc) you are NOT going to see true Wii U graphics in games.

        1. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

          To be fair on NFSMWU, Criterion… (the people behind the GC version of Burnout 2) admitted that switching to PC textures on Wii U was as easy as flicking a switch. So it’s not like they went out of their way to port the game properly, they already have experience developing on previous Nintendo consoles, which will help a lot regarding the Wii U.

          Rayman Legends and Deus Ex HR: DC are the only 3rd party games that I know of that were built from the ground up for Wii U (both started off as exclusives).

          1. If switching to PC textures was as easy as “flicking a switch” then that makes it even more ridiculous to why 3rd-party games are so underwhelming on the Wii U. It really isn’t that easy but I get what they are saying.

            Activision has just as much experience working on Nintendo consoles. Both the Wii and GameCube saw plenty of COD games. So there really is no excuse or nary unoptimized port coming from them on the Wii U.

  21. guys this cannot be true, 880×720 isn’t even 16:9, and i highly doubt such a major release will have a 4:3 resolution. don’t believe it until you see it

    1. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

      Treyarch confirmed via Twitter that Ghosts will be the same resolution as BLOPS II which runs in 880×720 (MSAA).

  22. personally resolution doesn’t matter that much if you have a good TV. same with fps. As long as it doesn’t miss out on anything serious I see no issue. also, people who think the Wii u isn’t able to run it like the xbone (720 upscaled) you are sadly mistaken.

  23. Don’t you people ever get tired of arguing about numbers? Go play a video game. How ridiculous. Who cares what console has what arbitrary numbers as long as the games are fun and look decent? Has anyone seen SC: Blacklist or Arkham Origins on Wii U? They look spectacular. Isn’t that all that matters? Games these days generally look pretty good on every system. Flame at me all you want, but anyone who says any system sucks is a pathetic fanboy on some level. Right now my Wii U is sitting next to my Xbox 360 and next spring when a fair amount of games are out, a PS4 will be next to join the party. Console warring is absolutely the dumbest thing in the whole world. Do you remember in the early 90’s when only nerds and kids played video games? Now they’re mainstream and because of that, the profit potential has skyrocketed, along with development budgets. Which leads to the absolutely incredible games we get to play today. When did the whole world get so cynical? Every movie, TV show, video game, comic book, or gaming console has to be completely, mind-blowingly amazing or else it totally sucks. That is what is known as a false dichotomy kiddos. Where did the middle ground go? It’s okay for things to be just okay. All of you out there who are bitching about a certain console, I challenge you to play one of your favorite games on said console, give it about an hour so you start losing track of time, and then check to see if you’re having fun. After that, please SHUT THE FUCK UP.

    1. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

      Basically the PS4 and Xbone haven’t quite lived up to the massive hype that’s ramped up over the internet during the last year or so, so now the fanboy elite are clinging on to anything that the think would elevate their 3rd party cross-gen multiplat above other 3rd party cross-gen multiplats.

      They would argue over which platform had the best 3rd party cross-gen multiplat cover if they thought it was relevant…

      To be brutally honest I don’t really need another COD game in my collection, I’m spending my money on Super Mario 3D World.

      1. “Basically the PS4 and Xbone haven’t quite lived up to the massive hype”

        How can they “live up to” the hype if they aren’t even out yet? Let’s come back in two years and have that discussion.

        It’s the same with the Wii U. You can’t start judging it with a closed fist and permanent verdict based off of its first year.

        1. “How can they “live up to” the hype if they aren’t even out yet?”

          You must be new to the internet..

  24. The WiiU can run 1080p just fine. So why don’t more debs make their Wii U versions 1080p? And are devs really still having issues making their games in full 1080p at this point in time? Hasn’t HD been a thing for 7 years now? Some devs I just don’t get.

  25. What i understand wii u 800×720 and xboxone 1280×720 so u guys tell me which is better or than difference, i already see a number difference, btw i got pre ordered wii u version, because wii u can do what no other system can which is Nintendo s off tv mutiplayer, and not sure what the feature is called correctly, becuse i hate split screen on my tv… But regardless i still say the ” U” version should have been 1080p 60fps natively! So this mean it going to probably look like black opps 2, not with any next gen features, smh

      1. yes it is so is gamepad acting as a hud tactics and map screen or even a dog screen whilst playing with a real fps control system in game WII REMOTE AND NUNCHUCK

        but that would be NEXT GENERATION SOMETHING ACTIVITION CLEARLY DONT SUPPORT….

  26. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT A TURD PARTY TO RESPECT U LOL

    I SAID ALL YEAR WII WPOULD GET A LAST GEN PORT WITH NO OPTIMIZATION

    THIS IS WHY THE INDUSTRY NEEDS TO DIE AND DIE FAST ANDS WIIU NEED TO DISRUPT THE INDUSTRY

    ACTIVITION ARE SCUM

    WIIU 32MB EDRAM 2MB EDRAM 1MB SRAM ON GPU WITH THE 32MB BEING THE IMPORTANT WORK BUFFER FOR FRAME SIZE

    880X720P IS JUST SHY OF 10MB 1024X600 IS JUST SHY OF 10MB

    1080P IS 16MB AND 1080P X2 AA IS 32MB

    WERE IS ARE HIGHER THAN 1280X720 RESOLUTION ACTIVITION AND WERE IS ARE PS4 MATCHJING GRAPHICS

    FUCK U ACTIVITION THE ONLY COMPANY RELEASING SUB HD GAMES THIS GEN

    EA AND ACTIVITION GO TO HELL

  27. 880X720 = 9.5MB OR THERE ABOUTS WITH 2X AA

    1024X600 = 9.5MB OR THERE ABOUTS WITH 2XAA

    1280X720= 14MB WITH 2XAA

    FULL 1080P = 16MB

    FULL 1080P WITH 2XAA = 32MB

    960X1080P WITH 2XAA = 15ISHMB

    WIIU HAS 32MB EDRAM GPU PLUS 2MB MORE PLUS 1MBSRAM

    32MB IS GOOD FOR 1080P FULL TRUE 1080P AND 2X AA

    THEN DOWN GRADE TO 720P FOR TWIN SCREEN PLAY TV AND GAMEPAD

    WIIU IS A NEXT GEN SYSTEM AND THE ONLY CORE FPS SYSTEM WITH REAL FPS CONTROLS WIUI REMOTE AND NUNCHUCK

    FUCK YOU INDUSTRY JUST DIE

  28. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

    Actually the Wii U has around 38 MB in total of eDRAM if you count the total of 35 MB on the GPU die, and the 3 that exist as Cache for the CPU..

    1. thats exactly what he said

      he said 32mb 2mb and 1 mb sram on the gpu with the 32mb being more as the frame buffer thats 1080p x 2 AA

  29. Here is the truth about this generation: PS4 and X-BOX ONE will be outdated in 4 or five years. With Sony and microsoft expecting their consoles to last ten years, well, lol.

    I think nintendo will release their next console like in 6 years, and is gonna be a lot more powerful than the ps4 and xbox-one. And then PS4 will still have to last other 4 years. I see it coming

  30. Dumbasses… Activision just played all of you.

    Go ahead and fight about shit that doesn’t matter because they pulled and graphics blue shell out of their ass, and in a brilliant moment of laziness, leveled the playing field (and one would imagine, made the game much easier to port… half-assed graphics and all)

    ‘After learning that Call of Duty: Ghosts runs at 1080p (1920×1080) on PS4 and 720p (1280×720) on Xbox One, it seems that the Wii U, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions of the game will run at 880×720 resolution, according to a new report fueled by a confirmation of the Wii U resolution from Treyarch.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts is set to arrive next week and the fact that it will debut on next-gen consoles (PS4 and Xbox One) besides current-gen platforms (PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U) has fueled a heated debate over which version is superior.

    After hearing that the Xbox One edition runs natively at 720p and will be upscaled to 1080p, the developer of the Wii U version of the game, Treyarch, has confirmed that the title will retain the same resolution as Black Ops 2’s Wii U edition, which is 880×720.

    According to NeoGAF members, that is the same resolution at which the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Ghosts will run, so there will be parity on current-gen systems, but nothing has been officially confirmed.’
