Forums - Nintendo - So Dead Rising may prove once and for all if the Wii could ruin an HD game.

There can be an integral aspect to a game that won't fit on certain systems. 3D gameplay is one, which is why Super Mario 64 obviously won't work on the SNES, unless it's with the Super FX chip and the graphics are horribly bare bone.

But I haven't seen anything in an HD game that's intergral to the processing power of the PC, 360, or PS3, other than the possible aslect of scale. Graphical detail so far has been given no proof to be vital to the game itself. I haven't seen a game fail because it doesn't reach a polygon count, or the texture resolution isn't higher.

Now scale, that is a different matter. This is where Dead Rising may prove what the Wii can do, as it's being developed after the Wii is starting to be pushed, while the 360 version was a first year game for that system. The pictures may not be that good, but those are unfinished builds. We have to see the finished product to be sure.

And Capcom is unlikely to be lazy with this. They know the Wii is profitable for them, so they can make sure their games are of quality, or else that would defeat the purpose.

Now they are shooting for 100 zombies on screen at once. Now that is on screen, not 100 in an entire area, so the game may have a closer scale to the 360 version than it seems. But that is still up in the air until the game comes out.

Yet when it does, it will answer what a lot of fanboys are arguing either way. The ones that were wrong are not likely to admit it, but for the more reasonable of us, it will finally give us a measure of empirical proof of whether the Wii can even begin to handle HD games without "ruining" them.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Edit:NVM I just hope dead rising turns out to be good.



By the sound of the title I thought you were saying DR:CTYD would prove Wii ruins HD games. Might want to clear up some of that ambiguity next time...unless that was what you were aiming for.

I think this game will be great. Can't wait to buy it!

I wanted to include "whether or not", but I didn't have the space, so I had to settle for that title.

What part of "The pictures may not be that good, but those are unfinished builds. We have to see the finished product to be sure," did you miss?

The screens look very impressive for a Wii Game so I don't see the problem

The textures and lighting seem muted, and even muddy at parts, compared to the 360 version.

Its going to use the RE4 engine.
maybe it may turn out o.k.




the game looks ok, could be better IMO



Ahh, I've taken in resolve as to screen shots, way back when it was common knowledge that screen shots did not do the game justice, but as time went on the difference became drastic between finished product and screen shots.

I saw some screens of Shaun White and though it was an N64 game I honestly wondered if this was a vc game, only to find out it was a Wii title.
Then I see Shaun White trailer on Nintendo Channel and it looked quite tasteful.

As far as HD.. I'm taking that you mean from a graphical stand point as that usually is the arguement brought up... so we will see.

If you mean the other assets of the Xbox360 then I can't say much as I don't own one, I've never played this game and I'm very ignorant to the software line up aside from the over announced games like Halo. In fact if it's not Tales of Vesperia, Halo, Gears, Fable and That Zombie killing girls in bikini game than I have no clue about 360 software.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.
