Everyone cares about graphics.  Visual is a large part of the experience.  It's just some of us are a little less shallow than the rest eh.

 No its not close.. stop thinking it is.

Also if  you think running the wii at 480p would help on a 720p tv, then your seriously wrong. Trust me.

Rogue Leader says hi.

I think this OP did a good job at showing that pure technical grahpics don't matter, and that art style and visual creativity is way more important, even if that wasn't what he was trying to prove.

That said, everything else looks good, and it slightly reminds me of TimeSplitters, and that's my fav FPS series ever, so I'll get this game and live with the textures, though hopefully they'll improve =) When is this game releasing again?

You've used my greatest allies against me! You swine!

Zucas: That's almost word for word how I feel as well.

I'm a little bit tired of PS3 fanboy who claims that the graphics of this game are ''terrible'' sure they're not HD but instead of saying things like it looks like XBOX or PS2 graphics, you can admit that they're pretty clean in comparison of other Wii games. And to all other fanboys who spit on the graphics of this game don't you have realized that this gen is all about gameplay? 95% of the consumers really don't care about graphics but instead want fun games and this is why Wii and DS are so popular in comparison of PS3, PSP and X360.

Metroid Prime 3 looks really amazing on my TV. Those screenshots look nothing like the game.

I think The Conduit will look good, but I doubt it will beat Metroid in the graphics department. Metroid Prime 3 looks better than Resistance in my opinion.

Why can't a ''realistic'' looking game on the Wii succeed in many ways? Why can't High Voltage Software try to create something that mixes both artistic (alien weapons, alien environments) and realistic (buildings, locations, weapons) style of graphics? I don't get why it is so bad to try to break down the wall that some Wii developers can't compete with other console shooters on the market. What if the Wii can change it's image of what it is capable of, meaning it doesn't always have to be about ''kiddy'' stuff (I don't hate my kiddy stuff though! =P)? No one answered that question yet, and I'm eager to hear you guys' reactions about it.

I think that Conduit is NOT suffering from bad textures, because they're very good from a technical point of view... but it's suffering from what happens to many games developed by small developers and some third parties: Lack of a great artistic direction.

I dont claim anything, actual fact the graphics according to those images are terrible.

For a Wii game, the textures look okay but compared to other games of today they truly are horrid. But that's just how it is with the Wii hardware so I don't see the point in arguing about this, really.
I don't think anyone bought the Wii for its graphics prowess tbh (at least I hope so).
I thought The Conduit looked way better the first few times I saw it, seems like the visuals have gone slightly downhill to me!
