Well since everyone (mostly everyone) is saying the Wii is more powerful than the Xbox.

The last gen consoles could play Doom 3, so why wouldn't Wii be able to do it?

For the Xbox version... Yes. The PC version... No. Mainly because the PC version had better graphics, and more lighting and whatnot. I would even say with the right developers Wii could do Ninja Gaiden. All the previews from Websites have said that Metroid Prime 3 looks better then Halo 2. Give it a bit of time and in the next year we'll have some wicked games that even look good too!

If the Xbox can, then the Wii can as well.

Yeah. And also, id said that they might make a game for the Wii, but they would use their previous technology, ie. the Doom 3 engine. But I doubt they will make a game for Nintendo again... ever since Nintendo forced them to put green blood into their previous games.

Probably... I haven't actually compared specs of Wii and the original Xbox, but I can't see the Wii being that far off. Would it be as spot-on as the PC version was? That's a little more debateable.

Who cares anyhow? Doom 3 wasn't that great... I'd much rather see Return To Castle Wolfenstein. Or just skip id altogether and get Valve to pop out Halflife or Halflife 2.

...wasn't the XBOX version toned down from the PC version? If so, then yeah, the Wii could do it at slightly lower, optimized settings. Or rather, a little more than the XBOX, but not quite up to par with the PC version.

yes it probably can. It just depends on the developer working on the game.

The Wii can handle Doom III at 480p if the Xbox was able to, a lot of bump-mapping was needed (whatever that is) to make it work on the Xbox. Doom III just looks so good on Ultra Settings at a high resolution on a PC (something Xbox or Wii wont handle for sure), it requires 512MB of onboard video memory, but the gfx still holds up well today as it did on its debut on August 2004.

1.5X as powerful as the Gamecube and the Gamecube was more powerful than the PS2 it's just the devs never took advantage of it. I think so.

Yeah the actual Doom 3 game was a little disappointing, but the real point is that the engine could be tuned to run on Wii, opening up interesting possibilities for other games that use Doom 3's engine.

Maybe the XBOX version but definately not the PC version. The PC version had outstanding graphics and i know the wii cannot pull that off.

in theory it can cause technically the wii is more powerful than the x box. but we wont know for sure cause there havent been any games that use the same engine that doon 3 did. and i doubt we'll be seeing any games looking like that in the near future. but here's another question (i dont know how to post questions yet, id appreciate if someone posted a message saying how) can the x box do super mario galaxy? i think that galaxy show off the best graphics on the wii. what do u guys think?

Mc_STROGG, please check the posting date of the last reply before responding to a thread. Reviving threads that are months old, especially with a reply that doesn't add much to the discussion, is considered disruptive posting. Thanks!

With that said.... welcome to the forums! :)
