I think the screenshot is upscaled to higher resolution. Wii only outputs at 480p max.

Do you even know what 480p stands for?

 

Ignoring any Nintendo introduced block, the Wii can output at 1080p if it wished to

 

What the Wii cannot do is run at 1080p at any respectable framerate


Fixed? Right? I agree, but I would rather it not be hd at all. Maybe like sub hd, but not above 720p like this.


 Fixed (set back to what to originally was)

 

Are you claiming that Nintendo could not produce a Wii game in native 1080p that displays at 1 frame per second?

 

Which is why I added "What the Wii cannot do is run at 1080p at any respectable framerate"

 

The fact is, 1080p is a Sony buzzword.

Oh of course it could. I could run quake at 1080p. Doesn't mean it looks better. that is the point you are trying to make?

 



What's Mace Windu doing there? Isn't he dead by the end of Episode III?

Not to troll but those look like PS2 graphics , still screenshots may make it look all current gen and so on but in motion i'm sure the differences between the two versions will be hardly noticable.

Talking about Wii graphics is like analysing the horsepower,acceleration and top speed etc of a Ford family car. The Wii wasn't intended for HD so I dought we'll see anything near that until the end of this gen.

For a bit more technical discussion about the subject, see this from Beyond3D forums.

While it is technically possible for the Wii to render at higher resolutions, it requires some rather extreme measures as the frame buffer is only 2MB and the Hollywood doesn't support hardware tiling. I don't know, though, if the Wii could actually output 1080x1920 images progressively, my technical knowledge ends way before that.

Since most, if not all console games, are built on PC then it possible these are PC screenshots. When they down-sized to 480p the details (textures) will still be there in the 3D models  yet won't see them unless you see a close up of a model.

Your effort not to troll seems rather weak...



I stated my opinion and on the basis that it was contrary to what many Nintendo fans believe , I knew you would consider it a troll.

 I at least justified my opinion with some explanation.

Ah, but you tried to state your opinion as fact. Here's a revised, non-trolling version of your post:

"Not to troll but I think those look like PS2 graphics , still screenshots may make it look all current gen and so on but in motion i'm sure the differences between the two versions will be hardly noticable.

Talking about Wii graphics is, in my opinion, like analysing the horsepower,acceleration and top speed etc of a Ford family car. The Wii wasn't intended for HD so I dought we'll see anything near that until the end of this gen."

To your credit, you I don't think your trolling was all that bad, but it's not so hard to insert those few words into the post to make it an opinion statement instead of stating opinions as facts.

 Sorry but i'm not going to emphasise "i think" and "in my opinion" in every paragraph to avoid being called a troll , i'd have though that common sense would empasise that on my behalf.
