| Mvp4eVa said: I was hype about The Conduit when HVS said it will be the best looking game to date on the Wii... I bought it, played it on my Sony hdtv -with component cables and the Wii set at 480p, I was like wow, this is not what I was expecting to see. I double checked to make sure it wasn't in the PS2....joking, that's how bad it looked. So I went to connect it on to my standard 480i CRT tv with standard AV cables and the Wii set back to 480i, still it looked bad, I was really disappointed with all the false advertisement given of being a graphical bench mark for a Wii game.. I concluded that The Condiut is just a bad looking game and not a hardware limitation. Xcite truck looks way better so does Red Steel .. I have yet to see a Wii game looking better than Resident Evil 4, a game that's considered the best graphics of last gen.. I started to believe that the Wii is not as powerful as the original XBOX, it can barely match what the Gamecube has achieved .. If there's proof that the Wii can do better graphically than a game like The Chronicles of Riddick from the original Xbox than the Wii is a pretty strong system but as of now its just a modded Gamecube... I dont really care anymore if the Wii is this and that, I decided to use the Wii for Nintendo only games, Wiiware and for the Virtual Console channel and of course the internet channel. |

Excite Truck and Red Steel are pretty much the low end of "serious" games on the Wii graphically. They don't have nowhere as much things going on as the conduit, and to be honest, most people who say the conduit looks bad from a technical perspective have only played the first level or two. Now in terms of artistic ability, the conduit looks horrible. I was extremely dissapointed by how ugly it looked. The only things that looked anywhere remotely good from an artistic standpoint were the Drudge. Btw the conduit is more technically impressive than BOTH Resident Evil 4 AND Riddick(xbox version not PC). The Wii surpassed the Xbox with Metroid Prime 3. Now there are close to a Dozen games on the Wii that are more technically impressive than what the Xbox has to offer, some even being multiplat(silent hill). So while you say it looks like a slightly better gamecube to you, that doesn't mean it IS a slightly better gamecube. Actually the gamecube and xbox perform pretty much the same, but from different areas.
