Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Does the conduit really look worse than Doom 3 and Riddick on the Xbox?

Hmm. This sounds familiar:

The Conduit is technically superior but aesthetically ugly. I believe this is the opposite argument we have been having on the Wii for quite a while now for games such as MP3.

Engine and technicall achievment is way better, but The Conduit lacks art style. It is ugly and has repetitive environments and for me that makes a game ugly with bad graphics.

Also, first Xbox has HD cables? How come?



ummm...Conduit is the least good-looking one of the 3. Yes it has more glows but man those environments look really bad. Textures look tiled and generic. The lighting isnt anywhere near as good as the other 2. And like everyone has already said....

the Art Direction just isnt there in Conduit.

I own a Wii and love it to death. But I am not a Conduit fanboy that will say anything to defend a mediocre looking game.

Be honest people. I don't want a bunch of bias fans here. IMO i think the conduit has effects that those two xbox games don't have.

It has better effects, but that's about it.



It is kind of sad when you're outdone artistically by an id game of all things, but there it is.

 

(not trolling id, but they aren't known for their beautifully artistic designs, just their technical muscle)

Give me a break.



Some of the levels in the Conduit are better (doesn't help that it's the earliest levels that are the worst), but if you average them all the Conduit is slightly lower. That is more from art direction then Wii capabilities as evident in later levels.



I am so sorry.

But the Conduit looks like utter shit. I put it on my Wii, via my new HDTV and I simply was disgusted with it.

I am a fanboy, through and through, but damn it's ugly.

artistically, yes.

technically, no.

Doom 3 and Riddick are more appeasing, but Conduit is technically superior, the art direction blows though.


That's the exact synopsis of my thoughts as well. If this game only had better artists it would have shined.



wii number: 8166 7045 0170 7783 (don't forget to inform me if you add me)

has better Framerate specially during heavier MP traffic,Smother animations and physics than either riddick or doom.On design and other issues, is not as good.
