The Conduit Previewed: Graphic are everything they've been hyped to be

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]

[QUOTE="snover2009"]

Play Bioshock, it doesn't look as good as people say, "the art direction is bad."

I played enough next gen games to know what I am talking about.

I am DEAD serious by the way.

The only thing that these screens show that the 360 is better at is handling more polygons at once (the edges of everything).Conduit, will have rough edges, that's un-avoidable, just like any other Wii game in the past/future.Everything is damn close looking, and your comparing a mid-late 360 game to a higher-end Wii game (graphically speaking).

@ everyone talking about ART DIRECTION....... you all have no idea what art direction means, so quit talking about it. Unless you are an artist yourself, please....please....just keep quiet. Like a few people have said before me, what is HV supposed to do??? change how D.C. looks? If you've never been there, I suggest you do and again, be quiet. There's no "pleasureable visualasions" for the eyes besides monuments (which are also boring to most people), and offices anywhere in the world are always dull looking.

The characters on the otherhand, they are very well designed. Whether you refer towards their official artwork, or their actual 3d models, they are all well designed and smooth looking.

I have played Bioshock and finished it multiple times.
You say Bioshock's art direction is bad?
I also played my share of games this gen.The Conduit's 'art direction' just plain sucks.The game looks hideous compared to Bioshock and many other games.
I'd rather play this


Over that

Anyday...

yes, yes it is. BS is a great looking game, I have no shame in admitting that for sure. It just cracks me up when people say all these things. I'm not sure if it's because they don't like FPS's, the plot, etc....but either way, it's generating hype for it.

I hope HV can deliver us a quality game.

cant wait for this game already have the money saved!

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"] The game looks flatout ugly....The art direction for it is horrible.

[QUOTE="danger_ranger95"]

[QUOTE="kardine"] D.C. looks the way it looks. Its fine for real life, its just people don't understand the transition to a game. ALso Bioshock is easily one of the nicest looking games on the 360.kardine

I've honestly never played BS myself. I've saw a friend playing for a very small amount of time (like, under 5 mins)...so I'm not going to get myself too deep. I have however, saw many screens of the game. It is a very good looking game, so I have respect for it.

The thing I don't understand is why soooo many people make such a huge deal about graphics is....it just looks smoother. Don't get me wrong, I love a good looking game just as much as the next person, but it just makes me chuckle a little. It's still the same thing "we've all" been playing since last gen, just smoother. At least we get something new... whether people want to admit it or not.

But as far as the Conduit holding up to Bioshock, that's a tough one. I'm going to have to say...Bioshock will obviously look better, have better effects, etc. It better damn well have all the above...you pay more for the game and the system so I expect more out each. But, I will say that the Conduit will be in the top 5 best looking games for the Wii.

High Voltage is getting some competition though, have you seen the screens for Silent Hill? That game looks fantastic (visually) for the Wii.

The Wii finally gets a game with 360 visuals and everyone complains.

This is not a bad thing but a good thing.

Just because the resolution can't exceed 480i does not mean that it can't match 360.

Just take the awsome looking game and have fun with it.

There is NO art direction in the Conduit, it is going for a more realistic look instead of going to that overused cartoony look of most Wii games.

Judging from the screens from Silent Hill, it blows Conduit away. But we don't know how many characters are going to be on-screen, or how far the draw distance is, since a low number of enemies with a small draw distance would explain the excellent lighting.

[QUOTE="danger_ranger95"]

Just a question, how do you think BS measure up to TC(The Conduit) graphically? BYW yes this hype is interesting, its pretty crazy how every thread on this game explodes.kardine

I agree the game looks good for a Wii game, but it is FAR off from a 360/PS3 game. How do I know this? I own all 3 consoles and have played all three for many hours. I know what I'm looking at.The Wii can't even touch what the original Xbox did in terms of power. We will NOT see itcompete witha 360/PS3 ever.

Now that I have settled that argument...the game still looks interesting and I will be supporting it the day it comes out. I am always up for a good shooter nomatter what it looks like. I'll be buying it and hopefully enjoying the hell out of it come June.

Ok this argument is going nowhere.

The game looks awsome visually, just leave it at that with no reference to other concoles.

If a sequel is in progress doesn't that mean they'll include deliberate flaws in the predecessor? Giving them something to improve on.

psychobrew

[QUOTE="psychobrew"][QUOTE="kardine"] Bioshock uses tricks though to looks so good. Closed in areas an dark atmosphere and static environments allow for extremely nice textures, The Conduit does not have any of those luxuries because of the genre it is in. BS definitely looks better but its interesting that they could be close visually.kardine

The fans say the videos look great and we're to agree?
People that the game does not appeal to say..It looks bad..And it's all 'attack them haters'.

The image won't stretch out if you set the Wii to Widescreen mode.

No.The graphics were originally hyped to be of 360/PS3 level,and they aren't even close.

Have you ever noticed how there is a lot of hate for the Wii? A-hole fanboys for other consoles always come into a wii forum/thread and start trash talking the crap out of it for no god damn reason at all. Yet you never see this in a 360/ps3 forum or thread. All haters just piss off and leave this forum, goddammit.

Honestly, what do you expect when somebody comes in and screams that a Wii game looks as good as a 360/PS3 game. Its going to start a heated discussion. Its not that people hate the Wii, its just that some people expect too much from the thing. Its a flipping souped up GameCube!! I like all of my consoles, but I know each ones strong/weak points. They are what they are.

Huh?

How is this far from the truth. 4:3 and 16:9 are the standardized screen ratios, you have to pick the right one based on the tv that you have it hooked up to.

I played Mario Kart on a large 37" HD wide screen tv, both tv and Wii set to full screen mode, as a result, no stretching of the picture.

I didn't need component cables to get good picture out of it.

I said in an earlier post that the Conduit looks like a 360 game, I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT LOOKING LIKE APS3 GAME.

The PS3 has so much more power than the Wii it isn't even worth trying to compare visuals, example is Killzone 2.

The 360 is more powerful, but to a lesser extent. So don't say that I'm comparing to PS3 when I was not.

There is just so many people here that want to put down this statement because they believe that no matter what Wii can't have good visuals.

Well I believe that it is possible, because the Dev.s of the Conduit said that they developed new graphical technologies that was too late to include in the Conduit. So I will wait and see what the sequal or next FPS that they make to see what these new technologies can do. And chances are, they will dev. new ones from now until the anouncement of their next game if there is one.

But those 3 games prove that it is a decent jump in visuals, it just happens that all other games don't take advantage of the graphical hardware.
