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

I don't see 360 or PS3 anywhere in that last post. In fact it looks completely relevant to the OP.



Around the Network

To get back on topic since everyone seems to want to derail the thread. Things seem to be looking good with CoD WaW I just hope they get a little more AA in the game, it looks good shows the CoD4 engine runs well on Wii, and I really hope Infinity Ward has the chance to take a crack at the Wii as they have really good artists and very good with style.

Also since it's all but confirmed about Kid Icarus on Wii and almost positive Factor 5 is working on it, IGN has said they're not sure on the gameplay but have let everyone know it looks really really good, so Factor 5's first Wii game should be looking pretty good.

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.

Maybe this post will make you happy.
1. No, COD4 graphics are not pissble on Wii, and won't be regardless of how much optimazation you put into it.
2. The Conduit is claimed the Wii's best looking game so far, and it cannot compare to COD4.
3. World at War looks awful on PS3 and 360, let alone Wii. Doesn't look like that COD4 engine is doing much for the white box.
4. Like I said Conduit cannot compare with COD4, and people like to pick and choose what screens they show, I can show you a bunch of screens where regardless of lighting and effects it looks awful even for a Wii game.
5. Again, the Wii simply doesn't have the power and no amount of tricks and magic will give you a game with the qualities of COD4.
6.And AGAIN, the Wii simply can't do what the HD consoles can, maybe it can do them one at a time, but it cannot have all those things that make the HD consoles great on the screen at one time, therefore you cannot have a game with the graphical pleasure of the COD4.

Happy? I just disected your original post.

Not to be a prick but where's your proof other then "cause I say so"?

Which again I've said it's not CoD4 graphics I'm talking about the progress and like the original topic would it be plausable that something look stunning like CoD4 by the end of Wii's life, God of War was able to look as good as other consoles despite the difference in power cause it was using tricks people figured out about the console and it was closer to the end of the generation. 

Didn't you get banned for trolling in the original CoD4 on Wii thread?  Honestly why would you comment on a topic that you obviously don't understand the point of view and what is truly being discussed and then all you say is "because I say so" any real proof to say by then end of the gen that something on Wii would not look stunning?  By that I mean you can't prove it as you're not a developer nor have a time machine to go to the future and come back with real proof.

Did they announced COD 6 for Wii yet?

I'd hope not. I would think they would put COD 5 on the Wii first.

Wouldn't it be virtually impossible for the Wii to ever have a game approaching COD4 since the HD consoles and PC output in HD 720p and up while the Wii caps out at 480p? I've seen the Xbox360 on a standard television, Gears of War mind you, and it looked like muddy crap in comparison to the game on an HD set. Frankly, it looked like a really nice game that was possible on the Xbox.

@outlawauron What? Um isn't world at war CoD5? That is going to the wii.



^ No. Infinity Ward gets to use COD5. The game coming out this year (by Treyarch) is just Call of Duty: World at War.

No Call of Duty: World at War is a piece of crap made by Treyarch, and I will be waiting for Call of Duty in 2009 from Infinity Ward.

Well just like PS2 there should be a way to upscale it, though it probably wouldn't look very good, but I do hear Plasma TVs do look good for Wii games.
