Darksiders II art director: Wii U is a pretty powerful machine
The story of Wii U’s power is every-changing. One day we hear that it’s twice as powerful as the Xbox 360, whereas tomorrow we may hear that it’s just two N64 systems and an Expansion Pack duck-taped together. That’s obviously an exaggeration, but you get the idea.
There was a recent comment from Darksiders II game director Marvin Donald about Wii U being on par with the current hardware generation. But a quote from art director Han Randhawa has surfaced, and it sort of contradicts what we found out a few days ago. Randhawa said that Wii U “is a pretty powerful machine, which obviously means more resources, and means you can do a lot more.”
Randhawa’s entire quote:
“There is not much I can really talk about right now, but I think that the Wii U is a pretty powerful machine, which obviously means more resources, and means you can do a lot more. So the Wii U team is doing very well, we’ve been working with Nintendo and I think it’s going to be a very exciting version of Darksiders but we want to keep the overall theme relatively consistent.”
Ultimately we probably won’t know how powerful the Wii U is until some really smart people take apart the console after its launch. There’s simply a lot of different contradicting quotes, reports, and other material out there that isn’t consistent. Maybe things will be clearer after E3?
