I don't consider, as far as I know it's a more powerful system.

Yes, the graphics are better than xbox and PS2. wikipedia has the list of specs for all three systems and you can see the Wii is superior. And once again: Its. Not. About. The. Graphics. Superior gameplay > graphics.

Play through Red Steel, and in some places you'll get a snippet of the amazing visuals the Wii has to offer. True, the game has very poor graphics in some areas too, but there are those beautiful spots as well---

yep. The majority of the indoor levels look great, with reflections from the wall shining on the floor and bloom lighting everywhere. most outdoor levels look like crap tho. :/

How can you compare Wii's graphics to PS2's and GameCube? I hope you know Wii has more graphical power than the PS2 and GC.

I think people who compare graphical capabilities by the specs are just who Sony and Microsoft are targeting. Listen, you can only use specs for coparison when the hardware architectures are similar. In all 3 platforms they are completely different. Do you think we've seen a great jump in processor speed in PC's within the past year? Heck no, different techs are being used to significantly bump performance. Did the mac outperform the PC in so many areas for a few years because it had better numbers? Heck no, it was design. Did the Alpha chip, which was the first to hit the Ghz mark blow everything out of the water? Heck no, RISC architecture meant more instructions... You get the point. Give everyone time to make use of the hardware appropriately and them make your comparisons.

all of the launch tittles seem to be half efforts by the companies they came from, who were just trying to capitalize on the wii. (even nintendo) they all seem to be either super rushed ports. (marvel, call of duty 3, farcry, twighlight princess, madden, splinter cell, ice age, dragon ball z, super swing golf) or projects that had been shelved, but had enough material organized to be dusted off shined up and released. (excite truck, elebits, gt, monster truck, red steel) the only game that seems to be under sincere wii influence is rayman and even that was probably built, in most of what its from, for another console and just fleshed out for the wii and its controller. i sure hope that nintendo themselves or someone they commissioned is working on something that will showcase graphics.

I don't consider, as far as I know it's a more powerful system.

Right now the graphics are not better. Some people blame the developers but i highly doubt it's their fault. Far Cry looks 10 times better on the first Xbox than it does on Wii and i suspect it's because the Wii is lacking on certain requirements. Why else would they dumb it down so much? Also COD3 and splinter cell are not impressive.

TheRFour

You can have a game with really good gameplay and horrible graphics and it still wouldn't be good. Graphics and gameplay go hand in hand and you cannot have one and not the other.

back in the 90s I thought NES games had great graphics but do I consider them good now?No because as games progress we all expect them to look better and the previos begin to look crappy. I think NES made a huge mistake by thinking people don't care about grpahics.

I still rock my NES with pride nowadays. IMO it's still the greatest system ever made. As for the Wii's graphics. Even if it was a "Gamecube with a remote" it would still have better graphics than the PS2. Let's bring logic into this right now. Considering the Wii is a newer system than the Gamecube, logic would say that it has better grapical capabilites than the Gamecube. Now whether developers take advantage of it is another thing(Far Cry Vengeance is an example, Gamecube is capable of way better than that).

Also COD3 and splinter cell are not impressive.

Personally I think they just used the engine they made for the ps2 game which got cancelled and didn't bother making a new engine for the Wii, the same goes for splinter cell and other third party titles.

Remember the Wii doesn't support shader model 2.0 which makes it difficult to port any xbox game such as farcry and splinter cell to Wii, to get excellent looking Wii games you will need to build a new engine which developers ain't going to do when they want to just rush a game out for launch or port one over quickly.

The Wii specs are far superior to the Xbox so the Wii can have bigger environments and more detailed visuals than any xbox game. The small annoyance of not having shader model 2.0 means the xbox will have the slight advantage visually on any third party title (which uses sm 2.0) that is ported to the Wii.

The comparison with the PS2 is just a joke, there was many games on the GC which looked far superior to any game on the PS2. RE4, Mario Sunshine, Pikmin 1 & 2, MP 1 & 2, Zelda WW, F-Zero GX etc...

PS2 is uncomparable.....it had the worst graphics of last gen

I was saying the same thing as u but then I realized that the big budget games that are coming out for ps3 and X-box 360 wont be coming out for the wii because the graphics aren't good enough, so instead the wii gets the last gen versions with special controls, so the graphics do matter.
