Did you read it? He said "And the graphics, in the game's defence, look pretty good, especially the cutscenes."
I don't particularly care for the graphics here, but that's not my problem. My problem is the number of enemies onscreen at once. That also COULD be improved in the next 6 months, but I doubt it.
The guy SAID "no, aside from a few minor bug fixes, this was the same build, because the game was nearly done." They're not going to suddenly add a ton more zombies. |
That doesn't mean anything coming from a person in the media. Media types are designed to twist words, cherrypick ideas. The game releases in February 09, that gives them 3 more months of tweaking and improvements, and a month+ of beta testing before the game goes gold. Anything can happen. C'mon Ben, I'm sure you know this already. I'd expect you to know how the dev process functions.

And I'd argue I do.
I'm sure some graphical bells and whistles can be added on to a game 6 months before it comes out. Look at Left 4 Dead 6 months ago compared to today...there are MAJOR differences...it looks a lot better.
There's a difference between optimizing graphics and being able to add even a dozen more zombies though. This RE4 engine clearly isn't capable of holding a hundred zombies in one area, coupled with the Wii's weaker hardware, I just don't see this improving much. I'm not saying it's impossible...the Wii is capable with the right developers and the right tools...
I guess another bad sign is Capcom is not telling us it might improve...they're pretty much telling us this is it.

Yeah L4D looks solid. Gonna be running it on my boot camp when it comes out
Fair enough, I can agree that you can't squeeze water from a rock, and whatever the processing limits are is what you're going to get. My argument is that people are crucifying the game 6 months before it hits the shelves. It's too early to stone the game to death. I see a ray of hope for this game. People who are expecting an exact replica of the XB360 version are just delusional, but I think this game will have merit in the end.
