Hmm, I guess the graphics aren't good enough. I showed my brother the trailer last night, and the first thing he said was, "Is that the best the Wii has to offer?"

I explained that the scale, outside effects, and a steady framerate would detract from the characters looks, and graphics aren't the point anyway, but he said that was bullshit, and "I'll pass".

We got into a 3 hour argument where I pretty much told him how much of a graphic whore he became and stuff, and he said that he blames Nintendo for not having a seal of quality, and he's tired of waiting for 3rd parties to show up. Also, we agreed that Fire Emblem was too hard for him to play and that the 360 "satisfies him" Ugh. The only thing the Wii doesn't have that 360 and PS3 don't is an extremely large plethora of shooters. We got into the graphic>gameplay debate and he wanted Batman, and Wolverine, and other stuff which at that point I was sick of hearing. "Wii only has Mario games...I'm not interested in these 23 franchises...gameplay without graphics is useless."

After it was all said and done, I told him to never ask for original content again when all he wants to play are some fuckin shooters. Nintendo's E3 today has taken on more significance today to me because of this haha


I say Nintendo hasn't abandoned the core. They've abandoned those kinds of people. Those kinds of people supported the things that ran comics into the ground. They support things that make games take longer and cost more without the sales increase needed to make up for that.

He said the Wii was too much of a risk, that's why games with 2 year development times should NOT be happening on the console. "There are no demos, so I don't know what I'm buying is quality." The "hardcore gamers that need to be satisfied" are a poisonous bunch. I never realized that he became so close-minded. Its like he absorbed every "We are hardcore" mantra that the insutry ever presented to him. His main complaint for Fire Emblem was that " I don't wanna sit in front of a screen for 2 1/2 hours on one mission, and permadeath is too much for me to handle". Mind you, this is after he played COD online for 3 1/2 hours before talking to me....

Point being, Nintendo did everything this gen that the pretty much did last gen in terms of provided software. THey just don't have enought shooters. This is why, though unrelated, I really want to see what Zelda does graphically today.

Thanks for sharing. I guess that I have strugled in between your brother's argument and yours for a while. I've got both a Wii and a PS3 and I'm really happy with both of them, but I´m really looking foward for Nintendo's E3 and I want them to keep the lead they've got nowadays in the gaming industry. I hope they have such an overwhelming success by the end of this generation by being atractive to every single type of gamer out there that in next generation every single 3rd party feels an ass if they don't fully support Nintendo's console, other than this generation.

At the beginning of the next generation, the 3rd party devs will have to make a difficult decision.

Holding their (more core) titles of a possible gen-winner could a undermining choice for any franchise. Any franchise needs exposure. If not, its brand suffers. The question is: can they afford to ignore Nintendo's possible audience?



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Yea the graphics on the character models  are not that detailed, but if there are many outside effects and such, along with a steady framerate, I don't give damn.

Bring it on!


Another thing I'd love to see that the "sub-optimal" graphics might allow: Online multiplayer WITH local splitscreen. At least 2, but a full 4 would be amazing.

That would be OD but I hope its happening

If Grand Theft Auto should have taught us anything, it's that scale versus graphics means scale should take priority.

EDIT: And scale includes things like multiplayer, as those areas have to adjust the graphics to make room for all the players.


Most games will reduce graphic quality for multiplayer only if at all, not the main game.  Stop making excuses.


I wrote "includes multiplayer", not that it was the only kind of scale. Stop twisting my words.

It's slightly lacking raw graphics do definitely reflect Modern Warfare Reflex, where they sacrificed sharpness for having full-sized environments.

Yeah, that game had characters that looked like a block of pixels from a distance. But since they wer black pixels against brown, I knew to shoot at them.

But functionally, the game runs identically to the HD MW games. That's what matters most. They even got the infamous nuke scene.

They better have the speed runs too.  Unlocking the cheats was one of my favorite parts of the game.

I'm glad to see that Francisco Scaramanga is a playable character in this unlike the original GoldenEye.  He is the Man With the Golden Gun after all.  Cheating cheaters will still be able to pick Odd Job.

Psh.  What do YOU know about James Bond? Kids these days, rambling on about things they have no knowledge in...back in MY days, we had to walk uphill in the snow...

They really seem to like it. Mostly good things, even though I'm not sure I like regenerating health.

...and then you had to ski home on one ski, just like George Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
