I agree with him . Besides I go outside and do other stuff if I am wanting realism.

agreed

I'd be more inclined to listen if they knew how to spell the word "stylize"

The other issue isn't that people found flaws about The Conduit vs 360/PS3 games its that it lacked good art and at some points any and all creative graphical design...

There's no point on doing craptacular games that die at retail yet Ubisoft does it and complains.

Wii can have realistic graphics in its own league, just like the DS, it is up to people to compare it or not and do their own brainstorming.

i think with great art direction you can still impress

yes.

If I wanted realism I wouldn't be playing games I would go outside instead beacuse there the enviroment wouldn't glich, lag or freeze on me like these so called "realistic" games do.

I do not agree. Realistic graphics can sell on any platform. Stylized graphics can also sell on any platform. Those styles of graphics are not mutually exclusive to any platform. Borderlands is stylized and is on the HD platforms. Call of Duty features realistic graphics and sells well on the Wii.

Cherry picking a game that did not sell well as an excuse to say that realistic graphics will not work for the Wii is stupid when better selling games have proven otherwise.

"It's got to be frustrating for [Conduit dev, High Voltage]," he added. "Gamers will see the flaws, not your work. They're not going to see all the effort you put in. Any developers working on the Wii, I recommend you stylise the look because it helps. I think it looks cool anyway."

Now speaking solely of the graphics and not the rest of the game, I agree. It's annoying that only stylistic games are allowed to be good looking on the Wii. Super Mario Galaxy doesn't really do that many more polygons, texturing, and effects than Conduit or Crystal Bearers, and they both beat the pants off of Madworld, but because they tried for the style done on the HD systems, they are overlooked despite the numbers they pull on the system. Again, I'm only discussing the graphics, not the rest of the games.

It shows many don't really analyze graphics in games, or else they would realize how many games actually push their respective systems, just in different ways.

"Cherry picking a game that did not sell well as an excuse to say that realistic graphics will not work for the Wii is stupid when better selling games have proven otherwise."

His context was more the criticism of the game than sales.

People are posting as though this was "Ubisoft" talking, and the title does imply it. It's not, it's just the creative director for Red Steel 2 giving his own opinions, it shouldn't be assumed he's speaking for Ubisoft.
