Forums - Nintendo Discussion - How does the Wii have "last-gen" graphics...?

wareagle372 on 17 August 2007

it is last gen graphics, but if it was against the ps2, gamecube, and xbox, the wii would win for best graphics for many reasons.

1. It's CPU is just a tiny bit better than the xbox
2. Games during ps2, gamecube, and xbox only used about 1-2gb worth of memory while the wii is using about 5-6gb worth of memory putting as much details as possible and not blowing up the wii engine.
3. The game engines that were expensive during the ps2 era are now very cheap compare to Unreal Engine 3 so prices for developing these games are alot less expensive than games like halo 2

I'd like to point out PS3 isn't getting Tales because it has HD and Tales wouldn't work well with HD. And soon KH due to it being cartoony. And DQ as well >_> HD CAN hurt.

I am going to be lmao when you buy a ps3 for kingdomhearts 3.

lets have them put it on all 3 systems and make everyone in the world happy, we can dance and sing in the streets



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Don't worry, this is just (in)sanity effect from Eternal Darkness. Your meter has run empty. You need some liquid encouragement to stop this disturbing you.

This thread keeps happening cause Soriku is a Nintendo fanboy to the extrem and keeps making these threads?

Also, Soriku you really dunno anything if you think 'cartoony' doesn't look great in HD, Eternal Sonata will look better than this Tales game ever will. Also look up a little game called Ratchet and Clank.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

People are stupid. Same reason people think the PS3 has worse graphics then the 360.

Thus far, no PS3 game has topped the best 360 games. In the future, the PS3 will have better looking games but so far we haven't been shown much more than screenshots & fmvs that rarely actually represent a final product.

And yes, the Wii has upgraded graphics but because it didn't go to the extreme that the 360 & PS3 did, many people feel the need to compare. And then of course we get the stupid arguments about the PS3 selling better than the Wii if it was the same price.


It's called Unreal Tournament III and it looks better than anything that has come out on 360 by the time it releases in November.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

why do you people keep stating that most 360 owners don't have hd tvs? i own three and everyone i play online with uses an hd tv for gaming. i have owned or own every current and last gen game system. I use the 360 because of the games and the controller over the ps3. i don't like the ps3 controller and there isn't very many games out. I also have a wii, (graphics are NOT any better than my old xbox.) graphics are cartoony for many games.... I like that!!!! but you can't compare it to gears of war and other 360/ps3 titles. Fanboys are losers. Deliver a few pizzas so you can afford another system and stop trying to convince everyone else to come to your way of thinking. its not like you fanboy losers own stock in the companies you are endlessly promoting!

I personally called "the man" and this is what will happen to the one who starts another thread like this.

That thread will then fly past the sun, through time and will then be about Atari graphics.
