Apparently, there's a good reason the graphics are bad in all versions. Activision somehow hired programmers that though all the systems had as much RAM as the 360, even on the PS2 and Wii. So they spent the last month scrambling to fit what was there into the RAM, and had no actual time to work in decent details.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I have seen 2 types of the game's graphics (both the wii version)
The first type is ugly enough to be jealous at blind people. The second type actually looks very good for a Wii game with a great atmosphere.

Since I don't own the game, which screens are from the game's actual graphics? I mean, there is so much diffirence between those types, it just CAN'T be the same game!

It probably is the same game, with awful LOD techniques aplied all over the place. Either that, or the good ones aren't from the game at all.

This looks like a decent game-It has the basis for a good game and thats what made me sad. The people developing wanted it to be a good and fun game, but they ran completly out of time. If they had another month to finish this game i'm pretty sure it would look spectacular

To the guys saying this is bad on all systems: yes it is but the ps3 and 360 version don't look like something from 15 years ago....

 

Why are you guys making excuses for a crappy game? I mean I realize you guys love the Wii but stop making excuses to defend a game that looks like that.


i don't think anybody is defending the wii version.


 People are defending the Wii version by saying all the versions are crappy without mentioning that the Wii version is much much much worse. This thread started because of how this game looked in the Wii version and if you compare how the games look you see how much worse the Wii version is...

WHAT?! A sh*tty 3rd party dev made a sh*tty game with extraordinarily sh*tty graphics for the Wii?!?

WHOAMG!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL THE WORLD!!

Let me call up Sega...

"Hello? Sega? Yeah, this is SB. I'm afraid that because Vicarious Visions, you know, those asshats who hyped Terminus for years and it turned out to be crap, yeah, because they made a Spiderman game with crap graphics, it means that all your games will have crap graphics, too.

Yeah, I know Sonic: SR looks good in 480p and that NIGHTS is going to look nice, but the point is, they CAN'T look nice because the Wii has crap graphics because of what VV did. What do you mean that makes no sense? Well, F-you, Sega! Bye!"

Let me give Capcom a call...

"Hello, Capcom? Hey, first of all, stop milking Street Fighter and Megaman. And second, because of what Vicar- Wait, WHAT? Sega already called you? What? You say you don't CARE what VV did?!? You say you're going to make RE4 and RE:UC look good ANYWAY?! What the HELL, Capcom? Hello? HELLO? Dammit!"

Let me try Retro Studios...

"Hey, Retro? Don't make MP3's graphics good, ok? You just CAN'T do it, because Vicarious Visions' propensity toward making garbage games has tainted the Wii forever and now no other game can look good, ever! So you have to make MP3 look terrible. Uh yes, I'll hold.... ... Hello? DAMMIT!"

Sorry, guys. I tried my best, but it looks like other developers are going to make their Wii games look good so, against ALL logic, it doesn't matter that some sh*tty dev company made a sh*tty licensed game with sh*tty graphics on the Wii.


"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

Excellent Smash Brother. Hilarious writeup.

I wouldn't have used those women to represent those systems.

My taste in women doesn't reflect their analogy. I'll keep those particular thoughts on my views to myself because there're children present.

Try a "fat girl". You might be surprised at how much you like it.
