Graphics , not art direction , Wii games shoudln't even be mentioned on this thread.(IMO)

GT5 and Uncharted are amongst the best i've seen.


Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Uh, that's not really opinion. SMG may look great but when compared graphically to Assassin's Creed, it fails on every level.


I was hoping I'd not have to start this discussion here, but if you're asking:

Art direction is an integral part of graphics. You cannot say "well, these graphics are absolutey stunning, but the art direction is terrible". This works in both ways, as technically atrocious games can't possibly have a good art direction. Those two are intertwined, and just cannot be separated.

You can of course say Game X is technically more advanced than Game Y, or that game Y has an art direction you prefer more, but the best looking games are both technically proficient and have a good art direction.

Therefore, I'd say Super Mario Galaxy looks WAY better than Iron Man on the PS3, even though Iron Man is technically more advanced. So yes, Super Mario Galaxy is one of the best looking games this generation, even if the game appeared on the Xbox 360.


I was speaking on prurely tecnicial levels. Wii games looks vastly inferior to the best PC and 360/PS3 games. Art style has nothing to do with it.


Well, then we have to agree to disagree here. Art direction is just as important as technical aspects, which should be clear by now. There are only a handful of games that look better than Super Mario Galaxy (and Assassin's Creed, and BioShock, etc.) in my opinion.
