Yeah wow, finally the Wii has some great background skybox textures!

You guys don't really see what it is that looks so good about those screens, do you? =)

Fragile will be cool, I'm sure... but don't look at those nice background textures and imagine that the beauty of the night sky will magically transform the Wii into a graphical sportscar.

What you're seeing here is great art direction.  And that is new to the Wii, I agree.  It was present in the last generation as well, however.

 

More or less what I was going to say.

There's nothing technically impressive about Fragile. It's pure art, and that's what games need more of. Killzone 2 is technically amazing, but a total lack of art leaves it looking like ass to my eyes. Obviously the Wii has a hard time using tech to impress visually, so you just aren't going to get noticed without good art.
