It may be smaller. Xenoblade looked horrendous to me. Still was fun, though. The Last Story looked pretty decent but nothing special. Endless Ocean looked pretty bad. Other M looked really good at times and really bad (almost PS1 bad) at other times. I can only comment on games I've actually played, though. I know first hand that screenshots lie. I have my PC connected to the same HDTV that I game on and the screenshots look better on the PC than they do actually running on the console. |
Skyward Sword I agree with; I actually think that game looks pretty bad myself, though thankfully it's still a great game thanks to its awesome controls, combat, and dungeon design. Xenoblade I can also understand to a degree; though its vistas take my beath away, individual assets can be very low res.
But how did Endless Ocean look bad, apart from the stiff above-water sequences?
And Other M looking PS1 bad at times? That seems a bit of an extreme statement to me. Yeah, it has some PS2-ish textures here and there among its generally very slick assets, but PS1? I'm going to assume you mean the infamous icicles, but that's just one out-of-the-way background asset, you can find things that bad even in PS360 games if you look hard enough.
