@ smr-venom

again,when did i say that? :?. No where in my post did i say "all wii games look like ps2 games"

Sonick54
I am sorry if I came across as rude but none of the games in this thread look as bad as GTA III for the Ps2 so my point still stands. Of course shovelware is shovelware and it will look like crap when no effort is put into it.

[QUOTE="SMR-Venom"][QUOTE="Sonick54"] never said that. just that when wii has games that look like early ps2 games, we got a problem :?clicketyclick
No you have got a problem! Are you comparing the likes of Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy and Brawl to this?

Did he say SMG and MP3? Those aren't the only Wii games in existence, you know.

Gosh, to be taken out of context and have words put in your mouth by two different people in a single thread... poor Sonick has the worst luck. :(

All of the games in this thread look better than any early PS2 game, sorry if you thought I was rude. As I said before, if it is shovelware, devs dont even care about gameplay let alone graphics.

This is another game that looks graphically impressive for the wii. But true enough, the Wii wasn't made for advanced graphical capability. It can produce some impressive stuff but it's more about the gameplay and honestly, to me, that's what counts more. Graphics are more of a finishing touch or a touch up to me, while somewhat important for marketing, not really important for gameplay.

Perhaps in this thread, but not on the Wii. Sonick was not restricting what he was saying to the games in the thread, which he indicated by saying that the "wii has games that look like early ps2 games," not "this thread has games that look like early ps2 games." He isn't the only one saying it either. IGN editors say it too, if you listen to the Game Scoop and Nintendo Voice Chat podcasts. Your point doesn't still stand because it was irrelevant to the discussion Sonick was having. He was responding to J_Ford saying that the Wii (in general, not just restricted to first-party and such examples in this thread) has excellent graphics.

As I said before, if the game has no effort put into it, it will not look well. However any Wii game with some effort put into it will look better than an early PS2 game. Now later in it's life time the PS2 had some good looking games and I am not saying the PS2 is crap. But as you can clearly see, games that are given effort will trump PS2 graphics by a long shot. GTA III has great effort put into it, but compared to a Wii game that was developed specifically for the Wii, there is no competition. It wasn't as if I chose a crap game as an example to compare with.

I have a ps3 as well as a wii, personaly i love the HD ect graphics, its true that great graphics dont make a bad game great but thay do make a good game better. i mean you spend 100% of the time your playing the game LOOKING at the game so IMHO its a big deal. at least to me it is. how ever as far as the Wii goes i am perfectly happy when the games look like SMG and MP3. neather game comes even close to something like MGS4 but hay thats ok. but when games look no better or in alot ofcases worse than GC thats when i get upset lol. but it SEEMS that devs are starting to do better work. deadly creatures,conduite,Murasuma the demon blade"wich looks GREAT". So for me as long as the devs try and do some cool thing then im happy. but when games lioke AC comes out and looks pretty much the same as the GC AC .....well that makes me sad :p.

The Wii was never intended to show super high-end graphics. Nintendo thought "hmmm, as long as the games are fun" which they are, it doesn't need good graphics.

Nice compilation. I've always enjoyed the graphics on the Wii -- they're completely fine for me, and a step up above the Xbox. I really enjoy the Wii, it's graphical capabilities, and it's games.

Nintendo informed us on Day 1 that the Nintendo Revolution (before it was called the Wii) was not going to focus on graphics but rather on new ways to play videogames. The rest is history, and all the haters are upset.

Nintendo Wii has the best player-game interaction than any other console (for example, shooters are controlled with point-and-shoot controls, which emulate real shooting unlike the dual-analog stuff and even the keyboard-mouse stuff). And then you have Wii Sports where you swing your arm to swing a tennis racket or swing a bat or roll a bowling ball. So in a sense, Nintendo Wii is more realistic than the other consoles. The motion controls may not be perfect 1:1, but it will be in the future, and the other consoles aren't even close to that.

If all you care about is graphics, watch a movie. Games are defined by player involvement. If you ask people what the greatest games of all time are, they'll give you answers like PacMan, Tetris, Pong, and other older games that are not found on today's graphically-enhanced consoles.

If what I'm saying doesn't make sense, then you're probably confused at why Nintendo Wii is outselling the competition, and it's driving you crazy.

DS_Lightning21
I agree with you completely. I'd rather have good gameplay than good graphics. Look at the classics, those games are still good to this day not because of their graphical quality but because of their addictive / unique gameplay. The masses don't want movie-looking games, just a niche market of graphics gamers, they want to have fun playing games with others. Yeah the Wii doesn't have PS3/360 graphics but so what. The average person would be utterly confused if you gave them a 360/PS3 controller because those games have a VERY HIGH LEARNING CURVE. You have to know what button does what, which analog stick moves what, what your objective is, how to navigate menus, etc. The Wii makes games a lot simpler and less strenuous to play. I'm 19 and used to play games a ton but now I want something that is easy to pick up and play. Yeah, I want the occasional RPG but for the most part gaming with the family is a lot more fun than playing on my own. Wii has done things with its underpowered graphics that the 360/PS3 could never do: It got my aunt, granny, dad and brother to play a game when they said they weren't into it. Now that is something.

So yeah, my two cents on the whole graphics thing- If you've played games like Super Mario Galaxy/Smash Bros., I'd say those are games that have shown what the Wii can really do BUT the real problem lies in today's game developers. The Wii's abilities are basically being put to waste becuase of all the shovelware or poorly-made ports that end up going for $49.99. What these people need to do is put the same kind of effort into the games like what goes into Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 games. Just because they're HD capable and are loaded with lots of unnecessary hardware that just spikes their prices up doesn't mean the weaker system should get the crap games. God, this makes me sick.

..........graphics still look last gen to meBrooklynHotBoy

nope not at all. wiis graphics look better then any of the last gen consoles graphics. i played god of war 2 yesterday and it looks like a joke compared to zelda which was on the gamecube too lol

and halo 2 is basicly the xbox best looking title. and it looks far worse then the conduit.

so the wii is basicly a 2.5 generation system while xbox360 and ps3 are 3.0

but the whole console is far better then the ps3 or xbox360 ever will be :P

Look at it this way. Factor 5 made their first HD game. It flopped. They went under. Free Radical - same story. I think we'll see the smaller third parties start to support Wii this year. In this economic climate nobody wants to take risks and Wii is a pretty safe bet. Biggest install base. Good attatch rate. Lowest development costs. I think we'll see devs push the system in 2009 and 2010.

I don't need good graphics to enjoy a game but I did pop in RE4(GC version) yesterday and wondered why it still looks better than most Wii games. And that punch-put pic got me very happy, can't wait.

I honestly don't pay too much attention to the graphics on the Wii. Don't get me wrong, some of the games look awesome, but I don't play the Wii to be blown away by the graphics. It's more about the experience for me.

i still actively play my ps2. Not because of graphics, but because it has the biggest and best library of games i've ever witnessed! the wii could be a great system or maybe not..but we'll probably never know because it only has a handful of great games that can show what the system can really do(more than half being from nintendo themselves). its embarassing..developers really need to shape up

Monster Hunters,Monster Hunters......... I am going to freaking buy Sky Crawlers in Japan if they don't release it here. I don't care about graphic as long as they make as many good games as the Nes and Snes had. Make Star Fox, DK, all three mother on one cartidge and some new nintendo character game.

Again, my problem is NOT the graphics, but the fact that the lack of graphics pretty much kills the good 3rd party support. We usually get skipped of so many great games for the OBVIOUS reason. And those we get, are usually made for the PSP as well (like MoH Heroes 2) and graphics in those cases are even worst than they should look like.

[QUOTE="Pices"][QUOTE="BrooklynHotBoy"]..........graphics still look last gen to megarrett_duffman
*sigh*, here we go again....graphics have nothing to do with gen

erm... i beg to differ... lets go through some generations, shall we? NES to SNES to N64 to Gamecube to Wii all upgraded graphics each Generation, the only difference is is that the gamecube to wii transition was not a noticeable change. PS1 to PS2 to PS3, all significant graphics changes each gen X-box to 360, significant graphics change each gen each generation is defined moreso by the graphical capacity of the system. even the handheld market. GB to GBC to GBA to DS, there have always been graphical enhancements

Ok...now he said that graphics look last gen, ok so? the gameplay matters! Games like Too Human, Sonic Unleashed (Ps3 or 360), Haze, Alone In The Dark(ps3 or 360), Legendary etc... had "next-gen" graphics but the gameplay ruined the game. In other words, graphics don't matter, if you were a true gamer, you would know that

DAMN RIGHT! I put gameplay before graphics! I got mates at school saying! Oh you dont like PS3 just cause you don't have it! I like the Wii for what it is! Not graphics! I like the Wii, for its experiance whilst playing games! You feel like the character you are being, that its you! Wii is so good! Why do people give such bad comments about it? People can't accept that Nintendo made the first best, most liked console out in the 80s! I bet you'll get to Playstation 666! Its an Satan's console!

And yet most great games have both.The games you listed for having "next-gen" graphics aren't the most visually appealing games out there,and they aren't exactly considered "great" by the general consensus.And not much prevented those games from having great gameplay except for the effort of the developers; they could very well have made the game with great graphics and great gameplay.And for the point you were trying to prove (as much as I disagree with it),a better example would have been Lair.And don't even start with this "true gamer" garbage.:|

Pices, YOU said that "graphics have NOTHING to do with gen", and then Garret explained to you that graphics DO reflect a gen of games by listing a ton of examples of how graphics evolve with every gen proving your previous statement wrong! Than you procede to talk about how gameplay matters more than graphics which has nothing to do with wether or not graphics are related to gen!

And as any TRUE gamer will tell you graphics DO matter, if they didn't we would still be playing 8-bit games on are TV's and games like Ocarina of Time would not exist!

[QUOTE="garrett_duffman"][QUOTE="Pices"] *sigh*, here we go again....graphics have nothing to do with genPices
erm... i beg to differ... lets go through some generations, shall we? NES to SNES to N64 to Gamecube to Wii all upgraded graphics each Generation, the only difference is is that the gamecube to wii transition was not a noticeable change. PS1 to PS2 to PS3, all significant graphics changes each gen X-box to 360, significant graphics change each gen each generation is defined moreso by the graphical capacity of the system. even the handheld market. GB to GBC to GBA to DS, there have always been graphical enhancements

Ok...now he said that graphics look last gen, ok so? the gameplay matters! Games like Too Human, Sonic Unleashed (Ps3 or 360), Haze, Alone In The Dark(ps3 or 360), Legendary etc... had "next-gen" graphics but the gameplay ruined the game. In other words, graphics don't matter, if you were a true gamer, you would know that

True gamer? Are you really gonna use that elitist line to back up your point? Are you really happy with the fact that wii has some really horrible looking games? Are you really happy that we, as wii owners, must lower our standards willingly knowing the wii can do much better than this? Are you aware wii has a very week library of games? Making your "all that matters is gameplay" statement moot?

and like what akenakuma just told you, you completely missed the other poster's point about graphics improving each gen.

@vgobsesser , what I meant is that graphics don't have to be perfect in order for the game to be good. I'm not saying that horrible graphics with good gameplay make a good game. The graphics just have to be good, but not important when it comes to gaming. @kenakuma, that what was my mistake about next-gen graphics...but the point is that games like OoT makes you realize that graphics don't matter much as gameplay. Graphics have to be good, but not perfect. Sonic unleashed was horrible on ps3/360 even though it had amazing graphics....on the ps2/wii, the graphics were great but not as great on ps3/360. Yet, the ps2/wii got positive scores. @Sonick, the Wii has bad and good games like all systems. BUT, it has a LOT of great games, graphic-wise or not. I can list you a bunch of great games that are available now and 50 games for the future to counter your statement of saying that the Wii has a weak number of good games.

There is only one game on the Wii that displays graphivs that no last gen console came close to rendering and that is Super Mario Galaxy. I don't understand why Nintendo doesn't pull out more visually stunning games like this on their own system. Here's hoping that the scenery in Pikmin 3 is photo realistic as Pikmin 2 almost already looks that good. The Next Zelda SHOULD blow us away (I hope).

Not important?The graphics are your main means of interacting and playing with the game.They're kind of important.:|

No one is debating that gameplay is more important than graphics! What people are debating is your statement that "graphics don't matter" which is very untrue, what you should have said is "graphics don't matter as much as gameplay" because graphics definetly DO matter to a degree!

As for what Soncik is saying;

The Wii's game library IS weakened by its graphical capabilities! Because of the Wii's lack of power it's library is lacking some of the greatest multiplat games of this gen like Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Resident Evil 5, Call of Duty 4, Street Fighter 4, GTA 5, Bioshock, ect. The wii gets passed over by 3rd party developers on A LOT of BIG games simply because it can't handle them, and as a result, gameplay IS effected because the games AREN'T THEIR!

I know this isn't system wars, but compared to the other 2 consoles, wii does factually (review wise anyway) have the weakest lineup of the 3. Also, to deny wii's bad games outweigh it's good games is denial. Look at wii's 2008 lineup. Can you really call it stellar? If you're gonna use your opinion to tell me that wii has great games then we probably shouldn't even be having this debate since our opinions differ too much.

imo atleast 10 of those games were crap and some of the best ones were either already made on another system or remakes/ports from another system.

Pices your a true gamer and right abouit everything, I know because i'm a hardcore game as well. these are not DVDs they are games it doesn't matter how good a game looks if it did Ocarina of Time wouldn't have been the best game in the world for like 10yrs running. And yes Haze, too human and a bunch of other great graphic games were garbage. Gameplay is everything. physics, graphics, story, gore, longetivity, replayability are just factors that can turn a standard game into something brilliant all are important, but a great game will have all of them. Some games actually became brilliant because the graphics were not great but unique, e.g. windwaker, viewtiful joe. there are more but I can't be bothered to waste my time proving whats already fact.

Personally, I really don't care about graphics at all unless it looks so good and then I would be like, "this looks so freakin good!!!", but if it looks bad, I'll still play it to see if its at least fun.

Are you basing this off opinion or review scores? I had stated before that if you're gonna use your opinion to back up your great games statement, then our argument is finished because i can just as easily count all those games as horrible shovelware because it's my opinion :? The only titles that belong on that list of great games (according to reviews) are MP3,brawl,Galaxy, Blast works De blob, wario, zack and wiki, no more heroes, mario kart wii and super paper mario. The rest are pretty much shallow. Red steel flopped, fire emblem is decent, RE4 is a port, TP is a port, okami is a port, shawn white is better on the other 2 consoles, Naruto is rated poorly ect. And don't you notice how the majority of those great games are first party? I mean it's kinda bad when wii has only first party games (and a few 3rd party gems) going for it.
