Nintendo Wii vs Original Xbox

[PearlJam]

Listen jackass, I agree that Wii is more powerful get that through your thick head (Jesus fuckin Christ). Shader performance is something entirely different. Have you ever heard of the saying "jack of all trades, master of none" that's what your precious little Wii is.

PS3 is more powerful than 360, yet 360 can do some things better. SNES was more powerful than Genesis, but the Genesis was faster. PS2 was more powerful than DreamCast, but DreamCast could do some things better. Can you understand any of this? Just because one system is more powerful overall doesn't mean it will outperform a relatively weaker system at the function that said weaker system is better at doing.

I grew up on Nintendo systems and mostly Japanese games, so you can stop talking out of your ass about this too. You are comparing Ninja Gaiden to Riddick? This just proves that you don't know what the Hell you are talking about when it comes to shaders. Personaly I think that Ninja Gaiden was better looking too, but it used traditional rendering techniques and was polygon-heavy. I have the models and textures extracted and I can manipulate and inject them back into the game, can you? Yeah didn't think so. The reason it looked better is because those models are very high poly, and had higher resolution textures (very little to do with shaders). Riddick had very low poly models (except for the heads/faces) with normal mapping and better lighting and other things I'm sure you don't understand.

I also have just about any model you would want from AAA 1st party Wii games like SSBB, again I am looking at in-game assets. And what's this bullshit about not being able to extract them in accurate form? That only happens when you extract them with an emulator using tools like GA or 3Dripper (even then you are still extracting the actual assets). The models I have were extracted from the actual archives inside the game disc, it doesn't get much better than that. But this is probably going way over your head isn't it? Bad Girl looked fine after she was completely re-textured by some hobbyist, the in-game textures were pathetic.

Calling devs lazy and incompetent? Yeah just another stupid fanboy that has no idea about deadlines, budgets, and infrastructure that you have to follow, probably why you think the TEV is magical. Listen the only people that will back you up on this are other Wii fanboys, anybody that has a clue about this will probably just think your arguing for the sake of arguing.


btw Viper1, you seem to be on the same boat as this guy. Just because a system has more power overall and is more efficient, doesn't mean it will do every thing better.
