Tales of Symphonia looks like crap...(pics)

Check out the new screenshots on IGN. Don't expect much. Looks like it would run on the Dreamcast, maybe even the NGage...

Damn I agree, wtf is that :S

They really need to upgrade the graphics before releasing it....

The first one looked fine, and these(except for the last) are better.

Anyways its the gameplay and story that made the first amazing.

Ouch...that last one's a killer. Arc2012

ya i agree but they have intill 2008 to fix it they better

Tales games never really have a significant upgrade from the first batch of screens and the final batch.

Early:

Late:

The first image is pretty low quality since there weren't any "real" screen released during the early stages of the game, but you can tell by them (and if you watch the first trailer) that there weren't any massive changes.

One thing that I'm annoyed about is that they decided to remove the overworld for a point and click map. Hopefully the gameplay will still manage to be entertaining. There's supposed to be a new monster taming feature in the game but thankfully, that isn't what the game isn't focused on. The only other hope I have is for the story not to be as cliche as in Symphonia...which was pretty much a rip off of Phantasia...which was an awesome game.

Looks fine to me... Plus, early builds don't equal the final game. As long as the art style is the same as the first it should be good.spencer_723

Most games shown before release don't looktoo different once it comes out. Except for MP3 of course--but that's a bigger project than a Tales game. Tales of Symphonia was awesome to play and progress through, but the graphics were horrible even for it's time. I tolerated the poor presentation then (becasue the Cube was starving for RPGs), but I can't tolerate it this time around. Call me a graphics whore and say that gameplay is more important all you want, but Nintendo and Namcoare cheating Wii owners. They might as well release this also on the DS. This is an unacceptable way of cashing in on two titles at once. The more people support crap like this...the more these companies will do this.

Link?

Those are from the DS version.

The last one anyway.

It still looks better than the first one.nintendofreak_2

Wait, i think those are actually wii screens :lol:

Wii gamers dont care about graphics anyway. If they did, they bought the wrong system. But ya, those are horrible.bunchofpixels

Wii care to the point where they are AT least acceptable.

The first pic looks like Luin, and it looks better than the GC SymphoniaOllivander

Compare these to the first. You can't possibly tell me THIS looks better.

Even if it is better...it still looks horrible. This game comes out in 2008. I thought that's when these Wii games are supposed to start getting better. If this game doesn't get a dramatic overhaul...I hope it never comes to the U.S.!!!

Doesn't look terrible, just looks like a gamecube game.
As long as the final product is good, I'll be in.
