Why another thread telling us about the awesome power of the Wii. The Wii cannot produce graphics that are incredible for this day and age. It was never designed to. Since we have been told so many times it's all about gameplay over graphics and about the casual consumer who don't really care about graphics either... why bother? Even Wii sports the showcase game sets terrible graphical standards. Wii sports is the accepted look for a Wii game. I think if Wii sports were to feature decent graphics then you would see developers pushing the Wii harder. A case of less is more perhaps? If you want graphics go for the 360 or PS3 or a high end PC |
Did you even read the thread? If you haven't read it. If you have read it again. The focus of this thread is not why can't Wii produce visuals on par with the 360 and PS3 because it can't. The crux of issue is the fact that inspite of the Wii being more powerful than the Gamecube, PS2, and original X-box, developers continue to put substandard games that look worse than Dreamcast titles. There has yet to be a 3rd party Wii title that surpasses Rogue Squardon 2 on GC in graphical quality and that was a launch title for Gamecube. |
Naturally I read the thread. The whole point of my post was that whilst the Wii is more powerful, the success of Wii sports and Wii play has shown developers that there is completely no need to produce Wii games with hardware pushing visuals. Wii sports sets the visual tone for other games to follow. This is the only visual quality bar that developers need to match up to. Once that is met there is simply no need for them to push resources into graphics enhancement as most people are happy with it. I'm sure most of them have also assumed that most people who want system pushing graphics are going to buy a PS3 or 360. Another reason for them not to waste resources on graphics development for Wii.
Don't blame developers for not pushing the hardware, blame Wii sports for setting the entry bar so low. The list that Grampy posted earlier shows this. Only 3 of these games have good graphics, the first 3. RE4 Wii No more Heroes
RE Umbrella chronicles
Guitar Heroes III
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
Sonic and the Secret Rings
Carnival Games
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
My Sims
Rayman Raving Rabbids Red Steel

I am sorry but that's bullshit. Using your logic, the 360 titles would still be PS2 ports running in HD becuase launch titles set the bar so low.
