its nintendo fault. they shouldnt be so secretive and they hsould have created a more powerful system.

 

wat.

I'd rather have artistic games over some brown and gray games. Thank God though companies like Sega and Namco have made games like Valkyria/ES/ToV on the HD consoles though.

Brown and gray games can still have great art direction.  Personally I quite like KZ2's style, though I do hope for some more color in other levels.  It seems like besides mad world, you are equating colorful or cell shading with artistic.


These colorful games have artistic designs though. If they were just colored (umm...let's use that one Kore game for the Wii as an example) then I wou;dn't consider them artistic. Heck, I didn't even put SMG pics in my thread =/

Pretty much every game has "artistic designs".  SMG would be better suited for this thread than several in the OP from what I've seen.

Yeah, but to put in the work needed to make it artistic to over come the deabilitating weakness of the hardware costs money that the 3rd party companys know they dont have to spend, why do all that when they still sell millions of their games and dont put that effort in?

This is far more an issue with the Wii user base, they need to stop buying crappy games so that the publishers stop making them. Instead of making them giant hits, like Sonic and Mario Olympics.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

The Sony fanboys aren't reading this thread correctly. This is not about your personal vendetta against Mario and Sonic, a game who's graphical presentation is little in the way of a selling point. And it's not about the Wii's "debilitating weakness" despite being more powerful than all the consoles from the past 6 generations who didn't seem to have a problem delivering in that respect. I know it bothers you that the Wii is destroying the HD consoles but get over it.

It's about developers who won't/can't push the Wii adopting an art style that will still make their games viasually appealing.

I love an awesome art style. But aslong as the game is good I don't mind...

The problem is, not many of the games are going to be big sellers. It is a shame, but artistic style can actually restrict how much a game sells. Look at Okami, if it had realistic graphics I am sure it would have sold a lot better.

By the way, what game is the 3rd and 4th screenshot from? It looks fantastic.

 

Graphics whore.

 

Are you calling me a graphics whore? Didn't you read my post properly. Not once did I say that I prefer realistic graphics over artistic style. I even said that its a shame that artistic style can reduce the sales of a game. I also said that Kizuna looked fantastic. Not because of how graphically powerful it is (because it isn't), but because of the nice art direction. 

My most anticipated titles for the rest of the year are, LBP, Valkyria Chronicles, Mirrors Edge and Prince of Persia. Each have a very individual and original art style. None of them are trying to be graphical masterpieces like Killzone 2 or MGS4. 

You couldn't be more wrong by calling me a graphics whore.

I agree completely, but so many third parties still don't see the Wii as a good investment, so they put no brain power into creating something that requires imagination.

These games look great, btw!

Also, games must have awesome music. Fragile, anyone!?

Hell yeah.
