Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo: next gen is about “improving gaming experience” “wonderful graphics won’t help”

Oniyide you compared Xenoblade to Just Cause 2 lol. You just sat there and tried to create an debate over which has better graphics wow you are desperate. Is knocking the Wii all you came to vgchartz for? No one is putting it on a pedestal it just burns you up inside to hear someone actually enjoying the Wii. And for the other posters knocking Xenoblade for its grass lol (because grass is so important lol), no one is playing for its graphics its actually a good game that looks good.

No, not really. Just Cause 2 uses scaling where everything in the distance was scaled down until you got within a certain range. Xenoblade had no textures pop in or out when you were at different distances.


The grass in that Xenoblade shot ends a few meters away from the characters, the grass on the hills on the right look like blobs of color vs the ground textures up close. If I can notice texture LOD in a static screenshot it must be really aparent in motion, tho I am sure the low resolution helps hide the problem.

Unless of course the game just has patches of the game world with much lower res textures and no grass, that stay the same when up close...

lots of pop-in on the grass and worse pop-in on enemies is how Xenoblade gets away with it. Also really bad textures if you get up close. I was doing a fair bit of swimming yesterday and was thinking the ocean looked like Bomberman 64...

looking at your post history i can tell you dont know what you're talking about so ill keep this short, I have Wii and Xenoblade which i bought day 1. I probably have had Wii longer than you. There is no debate, one game looks better than the other, ill leave it to you to figure that out. No one is knocking Xenoblade for grass, no one is knocking it at all, if you actually read the entire thing, some people were just explaining how the draw distance in the game works. FYI i like the game, i dont think its the end all be all of the Wii library

I didn't knock it because of the grass I disagreed that Xenoblade has no texture LOD, which is blatently wrong. I am sure it's a great game, and it's quite the achivement considering the hardware it's on.

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

@Oniyide sorry that's impossible I got mine launch and later purchased the red one, so no you haven't had yours longer. Looking at your post history, you're clearly just claiming since you own a Wii you can't be a troll which is very false. Actions speak louder than words and you're always bashing the Wii so yeah your true colors have shown. And like I said you are the one that brung just cause in this and compared them, did you not?

Seriously, graphics aren't that big of a deal. They definitely play a role in attracting someone to a game, but the difference is becoming less and less noticeable. You really can't say there's really that much more room for the graphics department. People who are wowed by the upcoming graphics compared to now are amazed because they are analyzing the graphics more than the normal person. You wouldn't even have to analyze the graphics to tell the difference from previous generations. I would say game physics and AI are where we'll see most of the bigger differences now that graphics have become so close to capping out.



@Oniyide It really is as simple as who brung Just Cause up? You did and you know it, to do what you usually do, bash the Wii at all cost. Owning it doesn't mean you don't troll it and you can't even prove you do lol.

LMAO, my post history?? with your 676 posts? Yeah you've been around for awhile, LOL. Im not bashing the Wii where have I done that in this thread? I have gone on record saying it was the most dissapointing gaming device i have bought and I will continue to say that, you dont like it? Cry me a river. Matter of fact dont say anything. The fact that you typed "brung" shows that i cant really take you seriously, which i won't.
