I criticize because i care. If you knew anything about the original joke its base off of, then you would know its not supposed to be funny.

Question: Wasn't the Wii version supposed to have coop or something?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

i loled hard when i saw ps360 screenshot - uber realistic enviroment and this face taken straight from human models used in Toy Story movie. i actually dig wii version - artstyle is based on tv show and gameplay is quite impressive as well. if someone thinks that its watered down - think again. graphics looks really good and stylish and wii remote controls are well implemented and tight.
besides this game is more suited on wii than ps360 no mater what artstyle it would get and will probably sell more on nintendo console - personally i don't see the point in buying ps360 version if wii version has superior controls with same amount of content - it is just one of those games that you want to play on the wii(same was with Shawn White) thanks to the wii remote.

But you're 21. You're not supposed to have an interest in the non-realistic family friendly art style on Wii regardless of content or surperior interactivity.

 

At least that's what the Wii haters tell me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't wait to cross the streams.

 

hey my favourite wii game was dewy's adventure so i'm either gay(well i don't think so based on my yesterday night experience) or "casual" which is probably not true cause after the night experience i went to my living room and was playing madworld from 4 till 8 when i took a shower, ate breakfast and go to university.

But the original joke IS funny.

Also the point of the original joke is there is no one to save the saviors.

No one to watch the watchmen.

Your changing of the joke doesn't actually make any sense.

Dewey's Adventure is anything but casual, that game is damn difficult (and fun).

Let me get this straight.

You're complaining that the Wii iteration of the video game representation of a family movie is done in a family friendly art style?  Do I have that correct?   A family movie - family friendly art style.  And you're complaining and demanding respect for the Wii of developers by suggesting they use a realistic art style on Wii of a family oriented movie.

OK, now that we have the facts, carry on.

Yeah, you did not read the whole thread. Why would you? That would be a huge waste of time.

 

 

I did up to that post (and I'll likely read the rest) and I can honestly say it was a waste of time.  Aside from MadKiller contradicting himself, I think this thread really comes down this: the Wii is damned no matter what happens.

  • The developer can do something like Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and go for the same look as the HD consoles and get ridiculed for looking like shit.
  • The developer can go for a stylized look that sets it apart from the HD consoles and they get ridiculed for not trying to look like the HD games.

Did I get that about right?

By the way, love the Wii trailer just released today!

Go look at screen shots from some orignal xbox games, those game even hold up today. There is no reason Wii games can't look that good.

 

Xbox had the advantage of being an x86 processor and a DirectX8 based GPU.  This allowed developers to easily write code that brought out quality graphics.  The GC and Wii utilize a fixed function TEV enabled GPU which means all shader work must be re-written to take advantage of it and most developers either didn't budget that financially or timely to do so.   This is why a lot of GC and Wii games had a flat shaded look to characters and environments except for those with the biggest budgets who actually put forth the effort.

If context would help, provide a link to give it the background required to understand the joke (or non-joke).   Otherwise it paints a bad picture of you personally instead of what you probably intended to portray.

Correct.   The HD versions do not have co-op that we know of.

Yeah, but the changing of the joke you made doesn't make any sense... at all. 

It completly changes the meaning of the joke... into nothingness.  There is no meaning.
