Forums - Nintendo - The old CoD4 debate on Wii a year later

So the old debate was, CoD4 graphics possible on Wii by the end of the generation, lots of people said it could get close cause of optimizing graphics on Wii and using a lot of tricks of the trade of course.  Now almost a year later where are we on seeing this happen?

Well the first step the CoD4 engine is actually being used on Wii, not even close to 360 or PS3 as far as looks go but it's a step to try and make impressive graphics on the Wii, maybe when infinity ward works on CoD6 they can put some of that time and experience on the Wii build of the CoD4 engine and we can see what it could really look like on Wii.

The second part of this is the Conduit, it has shown you can do lighting and effects on Wii that were once thought impossible or developers just said the Wii CAN'T do.  So they proved there's more in that little white box then the graphics of the countless PETZ titles. Maybe with time you could get just as polished graphics as CoD4 on Wii just less polygons and smoothing things out to give the feeling it's pulling powerhouse graphics of CoD4. 

We all know Wii could never have the exact same textures/polygons of the PS3/360 versions of CoD4 but with developers working hard on the engines they're making for Wii it's more plausable that the Wii could potentially make games that give the graphical pleasure of CoD4.

If Activision tells infinity ward to do it, they will do it, and activision has upped their Wii support, honestly think about it though CoD4 was planned out to be on PC, 360 and PS3 before most developers saw the success of the Wii so it made a Wii game of CoD4 very unlikely but now things are in full swing you could see a strong push for CoD6 on Wii.

I wouldn't get too excited for CoD6 on the Wii.

Remember only Treyarch is developing Call of Duty games for the Wii right now (CoD3 and CoD World at War)

 

Only if the World at War sales are absolutely awesome Infinity Ward would think about CoD6 on the Wii

@MAX: I will not be so sure of it anyway we will see.

 If Activision wants CoD6 on the Wii, they don't have to get Infinity Ward to do it, they could syphon off the Wii version to another dev.



The Wii is just not some magical device that allows 6-year-old tech to perform like 3-year-old tech... sorry.

The Wii will never have a game on par with CoD4, plain and simple. Its okay -- the Wii wasn't meant to compete with the HD consoles.  Plenty of last-gen era games look pretty damn good (e.g. God of War 2, SotC, Fable 1, Halo 2, Metroid Prime 2, etc.), and the Wii should be able to outdo those games by at least a small margin.  Leaping forward to CoD4 is too much though.

Contrary to popular belief, this is not a problem.



But this debate really isn't if Cod6 will be on Wii it's more of the thought that now nearly a year later the debaters that were pro CoD4 graphics are possible, their claims are now a bit more plausible.
