Forums - Gaming Discussion - Wii Graphics can cut it (56k warning)

I'll be the first to admit that 360 and PS3 have better graphics and I won't even try to disprove that theory, their hardware can just do more. The thing is, you can still tell that the screenshots are games, this lady just came in my office and asked me "What games are those?" (she is 50 something and really has no interest in games but her grandson plays them). My point is that no matter how good the graphics they still look like games.

The last necessary imporvement to graphics occured last gen. After Nintendo's industry shake up, games will no longer be given extra points for graphics, gameplay and story will determine the quality not graphics.

God damn.

I could post 100 screens of Uncharted Ratchet&Clank and Killzone but theres no point.  Shit there are some people who still believe Iraq has WMD, delusional people will always exist.

Like stickballs said, download a few trailer and SEE for yourself.  I reccomand the 720p Uncharted Killzone2 and Ratchet&Clank trailers.

Just one pic, THIS is next gen.

 



the screen-shot look just like ps2 graphic + hdtv for me(refer to the 1st post)...



I love Wii and I'm perfectly happy with the graphics it produces, but it will never be up to par with 360 or PS3 on a technical level. The sooner Wii fans can accept that and get over the stupid graphical pissing contest, the better they'll feel.

If the games look good enough to you, great! Who cares what anyone else thinks?



ok i have to say this. the wii gpu was NOT finished 3 months before release so that is why most games look like gcn games. by this time next year u will see amazing wii graphics since the true graphics power will bbe used and everyone will be sayin lauch games suck at graphicsd which they do cause of gpu's not being finished. unlike the ps3 which was delayed cause of the processor not the gpu



dick cheney loves me, he wants to take me hunting

And here come the PS3 fanboys, a thread not even directly adressing them but they'll be damned if they're passed up the chance to show off the PS3's graphics. I'm lovin' it.

Seriously, we've managed to get rid of the Wii troll (Soriku) how much longer before Leo-J, PS3Owner and Killzone3 are out of the picture? Or am I hoping for too much?... Yeah, I'm hoping for too much...

Things that have changed since the last Generation of Gaming:

- Nintendo has shown us you can have the best selling console of all time with virtually no games for it.

- Graphics suddenly matter to Sony fans but Reverse Compatibility and Dual shock oddly enough don’t.

- Kiddy Crap is trendy with Hardcore gamers now that it’s no longer Nintendo’s “thing” (Viva Piñata, Little Big Planet, Banjo Kazooie 3, LBP)

- Third Party Developers are now essentially the equivalent of Video Game street pimps.

- Gimmicks are no longer fads (Wii-mote)... Well, not all Gimmicks (PS-Eye)

@ArtofAngels, why did you mess with the pics in photoshop or something to make the 360 look so bad, and make the wii ones look better.

You stupid troll.

How did you/whoever-took-the-screenshot make Oblivion look so bad?

Having played (amongst others) Oblivion on my PS3 (in HD) and (amongst others) Zelda on my Wii, I know that the Wii is nowhere near the PS3 graphically. No matter how many misleading screenies you show me or how much you protest the contrary.

Its not that oblivion looks bad on the ps3, its that it looks bad on the 360. Remeber oblivion is one of the few games that looks better graphicly on the ps3 than on 360.Also Like I said in another thread mario galaxy is the best looking wii game thus far.

I love how SMG looks, but you're crazy if you think it looks better than Eternal Sonata. From what I've seen so far (haven't gotten the demo yet) it's probably one of the best looking games to date with games like Odin Sphere and Okami (both PS2 games) trailing close behind it.
