I can't get over how flawlessly executed Pikmin 3's visuals look

Looks very good, and really stands out from the crowd... but I was more impressed with SW:1313's graphics. Still, it is a very striking game, visually. It definitely has the artstyle going for it. And its usage of the DoF and other blur effects make thing pop out.

That ant eater thing's eyes almost seem to have depth to them past the surface. Also, don't know if previous Pikmin games had this, but the depth of field certainly works well for the game. Nice animations, too. Ground and wall textures don't appear all too great, though. Still looks pretty nice overall.

but...

That's how I feel.

Me thinks your love for the series has you completely blind to reality.

Game should be awesome though so the average visuals don't bother me at all.

As shocking as it seems, Arkham City really doesn't look as good as the PS3/360 versions of the game. It looks a wee bit more cartoony.

I doubt any cows or lems would be claiming this to be one of the most "visually stunning" games though even if it were exclusive to one of their respective consoles.

This topic just screams "come flame and troll me plz".

It isn't stellar but I think it looks very nice visually. And a huge step up from Pikmin 2. Haters gonna hate.

Wow, I didn't expect there to be so many that find the graphics subpar... Oh well :P

I really do think it looks gorgeous. Perhaps it's the fact that Pikmin has been missing for over a generation (8 years to be exact) and the graphical leap became all the more impressive looking as a result.

I've edited the title to seem less hyperbolic

Batman looked worse. Seems like shader effects were dumbed down. I think its because of the WiiU Gamepad rerendering everything on the second screen. Either that or UE3 isn't fully optimized for WiiU yet.

I don't think its sub-par. For what it is I think its great! I just wouldn't personally describe it as the most visually stunning game I've seen.

this right here is the answer. Pikmin on emulator. Doesn't look much differnt from pikmin 3. Pikmin 3 is obvious that it has roots from the Wii.

The game looks nice I like the depth of field effects, but that's really it nothing else about it technically jumps out at me. Though I believe they most probably weren't going for HD eye watering visuals. . . Saying that it comes of as a game that started as a Wii game.

It looks good, and that depth effect adds to the appeal of the visuals. It looks far better than the launch titles of the 360/PS3. But it doesn't look amazing.

Sorry about your thread, I like it. The visuals look very good to me, the effects work well with this game and I enjoy the artstyle, I can't believe anyone would say nothing is good about this artistically. Then again, this is coming from me, a guy who doesn't worry about graphics, power is nice, but if a game is good, I don't mind, I don't own a PS3 or Xbox and my PC is from 2004, can't even watch videos in 480p online. It isn't like I have never seen any of the stuff people brag about, but really, I don't see what is so special about it, guess that makes me a simpleton, and I'm fine with that, at least I'm not jaded though.

...Looks like a Gamecube game... what the heck is that?

You're a moron.

That being said, Pikmin 3 looks nice but that is about it. That's okay tho. It doesn't need to have mindblowing graphics.

I love that screenshot with all the water BTW.

I think it looks great. Anyone hating is a dumbass, you want jaw dropping graphics? Go to the PC and stop acting like your crapbox can even come close.
