people like you is what makes me feel like selling my HD Console. your an adult, you grew up over multiple generations of games. Please don't tell me you can't enjoy old games anymore cause they don't run at 120x720.

I'm sure there are times you play your old consoles or old PC games still.

Wow that would be great if I didn't say Mouse & KB in each one of my points, but then again you said graphics are everything... and that alone makes your point's fall rather flat... I mean gameplay says HI!  I didn't know that seeing a pretty shiny thing in front of you was more important then being able to play it well... you've shown me the light Ari how could I ever be so blind... *rolls eyes*

Seriously to support the dual analog controls over much better controls is like saying you like the N64 with 1 analog stick vs dual analog... dual analog wins every time but times change, games change, and progress needs to be made, we've had 3 gens now of dual analog on consoles there's better choices out there now for controls, much better choices.

Yeah... what? Most games going all the way back to Quake 3 Arena have some sort of anti cheating mechanism that boots cheaters offline. Cant hack a game without the source code to modify it, and the honest truth is, no gamer is getting their hands on a company's source code unless it is purchased or freely offered by the dev.

and 1280 x720 is "nuffin" compared to  2560x1600 which is the resolution I gamed at on my PC (at least for those games that supported it) and yet I gave it up for the Wii because I liked the control system so much better.

So I guess not everyone rates games on the same attributes. Eye candy is nice but FUN is what I play for.

You're just too stubborn. Graphics really matter for FPS, its what drives the games hype, and sales. You are hyping the Conduit because of its graphics are the best on the wii, i guess it caught your interest am i right?

Exactly what I was thinking, I mean I played about 3 years of Unreal 2004 on PC without meeting a cheater, in fact the last time I played a cheater was on Starcraft back in 2003... so yeah... lots of cheaters everywhere on PC ZOMG!!! 

Also with every post you seem more and more like my kind of guy bardicverse!

Great Thread Grampy, i do agree that HD consoles are still getting those "better" teams behind their multiplats. But the Wii is slowly starting to get good versions of the games as well, because of its selling potential and different experience that could offer (Call Your Own Shots anyone?). And this trend hopeffuly will continue, with Wii version offering alternative, and HD twins getting better graphics, personally ill always will pick the Alternative.

It's not the Graphics only that makes version Inferior/Superior, there is much more to making a good game (sadly some people dont see it).

there are more examples you could add: Star Wars Force: Unleashed, Smackdown vs. Raw 2009, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008.

Actually you couldn't be more wrong, I support the Conduit based on it's controls being fully customizable more along the lines of PC customization (hmm I'm seeing a trend that all goes back to PC), a good Wii FPS not set in World War II, an interesting story about government conspiracy, 16+ multiplayer online, LAN support (none of that splitscreen crap), Wii Speak support, and hopefully no friend codes.  That and the fact it's obvious these guys are working their asses off to make a quality game on the Wii and believe in it so much that they would make it an Wii exclusive.  Plus they're wanting to push things so far as to use Wii motion plus when that will release just before the Conduit releases and will be one of the few games to support it.  

So why would I support it cause it looks nice?  I mean I got a huge list of reasons to support it that are ten times better reasons to support it then pointless graphics.

Actually I play my X360 on a standard definition TV set lol and I fink the grafix are still awesome.

For the diehard fanboys who have convinced themselves that the Wii could only possibly outscore the HD consoles because reviewers have decided to mercifully use a different standard and not a direct multi-platform comparison, I’m going to have to offer just another reality check ( to go along with: it’s a fad, GTA4 will destroy the Wii, the Wii is only leading because of price)

Here are direct quotes from Shaun White Reviews that indicate that this is a direct head to head match-up

1Up______________________________________________

“Shaun White's Wii excursion is better than its PS3/XB360 counterparts in almost every respect.”

“Although they share Shaun White's visage and a snowboarding theme, not much else ties Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip to its PS3/Xbox 360 counterpart -- and that's a good thing. While the more powerful console version looks arguably better, obtuse controls and a misleading map make exploring it feel like an uphill trek. For now, the underpowered Wii provides the best Shaun White experience.”

“The game does so many things right, it's almost hard to believe that the same company developed both this and its PS3/360 counterpart. I only hope that more companies will put the same time and attention into making their Wii ports such excellent (and in this case superior) standalone experiences.”

Overall: 8.3

Wii owners have some great extreme sports games to choose from, and this is one more that shouldn’t be missed. It contains some of the same quirks of the other versions (crown collecting and other objective-based goals) but is still a blast to play. This version also contains a rider/cameraman feature that lets you select two different characters (one to film, which adds a special ability, and one to board) to enhance your overall performance. That is yet another dynamic that makes Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip for Wii the best version available.

Video Game Talk ___________________________________________________

If you want to really get into a snowboarding game, actually standing on a board is probably the best choice, and the integration with the Balance Board raises Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip above the pack in that respect, but it's in no way gimmicky, as it can be just as enjoyable with your Wii-mote, thanks to a very intuitive control system.

Wii versions of multiformat games often conjure masochistic disenchantment, but this is easily the best Shaun White console experience of the bunch.

And - make sure you're sitting down - Road Trip is also the best-looking version. While the Wii can't hope to compete in terms of particle effects and textures, this is a game crafted for the platform, and it shows: the slopes are bold and cartoony and, along with the characters, give it a solidity far more enjoyable than the often glitchy, pop-in ridden efforts on the other consoles. The frame-rate's decent too.
