The old CoD4 debate on Wii a year later

Well i think the OP included those because that was the main discussion a year ago with CoD4. Im not sure what happened a year ago, but from what ive read people were wondering if the Wii could ever make anything within reach of CoD4. Now obviously that wont happen, but if you look at this from a technical standpoint, some of the graphical effects previously thought impossible on Wii are becomeing a reality (in one way or another). HVS is showing that the Wii can make a decent attempt hi-def graphical effects. In wont be able to tie it all together to create something as the PS360, but each HD graphic technique on its own achieved on Wii is very impressive.

 

Someone actually get's it.  I make a point in saying you can't make anything with as high of rez or poly count as a PS3/360 game on Wii but saying how the Wii has come along in a year.  I do think if you put CoD4 on a SD TV and compare it to a Wii game by the end of the gen we may get a game as visually impressive just visuals on the Wii will take a lot of optimizing, programing tricks, and doing things like they did with CoD4 on PS3/360 which was the texture trick to make it look like it had deeper textures and ruffles in the clothes when it really didn't it was a smooth model and infinity ward used their black magic on the game to make it look better then what it really should lol which tricks like that is what you have to do on Wii.  So by the end of things you may get something as amazing looking.  Remember Username looks DOES NOT mean it's compariable on a technical level.  It's like God of War on PS2 is a visually stunning game on Wii compariable to many Gamecube and Xbox games and even looks better then a lot of games on both of those consoles... BUT it wasn't a technical marvel the developers knew wheat they were doing when designing the game and pulled a few tricks like the fixed camera positions to pull off those sorts of things.  A Wii game by the end of the gen could pull off the same kind of visuals just from a techincal standpoint it won't compare.
