wii's grafics capiblities.

SMG and SSBB on an HDTV at 480p look like first generation Xbox360 games on a normal TV (In terms of graphics). And Nintendo is right. The world is not ready for HD yet.

Besides, you can have the best looking game in the world, but if the gameplay sucks, the game will suck too. Wii has got the best gameplay ever!

Chill out, dude. We get it.

I'm pretty sure the Wii is more powerful than all last gen systems, but only slightly more powerful than the Xbox. Developers are lazy when it comes to the Wii for the most part, at least graphically.

Actually... since Gamecube is as powerful as the Xbox, and Wii is 3 times as powerful as the Gamecube, then the Wii is 3 times as powerful as the Xbox too!

Oh... and I think this would have gone better on the System Wars page...

I was told that the wii has a better grafics engine than the xbox(original) Is this not true or are nintendo developers just lazy?I haven't seen many games to surpass many games of xbox,galaxy and brawls and maybe corruption look great,but that seems to be the only graficly "impressive" games on wii. what are your thoughts on the topic?TheAcejoel99

you are asking if the Wii can have games with better graphics than on the xbox and then you are complaining about that there are only a few games that surpass the xbox. that already answers ur question if u want to complain about the laziness of 3rd party devs specify it on the post title

gameplay>graphicsgongytron

ah,but graphics are still important regardless

alot of ppl think that because the wii is essentially an overclocked GC, devs should already be very familiar with it and should have maxed it at launch. there is an element of truth to that but lets also remember that 1) the GC was a commercial disaster that had next to no 3rd party support in the end and 2) any dev that did work on it was more than likely getting a PS2 game working on the GC. they werent building new tech to take advantage of the GC really.

very very few devs actually built their games with the GC in mind and fewer still knew all the tricks. a small handful really. there were nintendo first and second party, factor 5, rare, capcom and silicon knights really. these guys built game just with the GC in mind. since the wii is basically an overlocked GC with more ram, devs are only now really getting down to the nitty gritty, and thats when there not making a PS2 port.

its going to be interesting to see what factor 5 can get out of it. they did some amazing things with the GC and they know the tech and hardware (i think they were even involved in some of the GCs development). if anyone can show what the wii can really do, its them.

if i was to hazard a guess of what the wii coudl do when pushed to the limits...id say half life 2 and med-high settings would eb about the limit.

.........are you serious?

The Wii is certainly capable of better graphics. Games like Galaxy and MP3 are good steps in the right direction. I don't think Brawl looks that great graphically any way, but its fun to play. I think developers are simply taking the cheap way out. Developers would rather devote the big dollars to their core franchises on HD systems rather than the Wii. Although no matter how much you put into a Wii game, it will never costs as much as the budget of a game on thos 'other' systems. Developers (3rd parties) do not want to put too much into Wii out of fear that the game will not sell well, after putting so much into it. However developers need take more risks, if they wish to be sucessful on the Wii.

I find it funny how Wii fans will say gameplay> graphics in any sitation where we're talking about Wii graphics. Hm... I guess its true gameplay is more important than graphics,however, would you really think super mario galaxy to be a FUN game if it had the worst graphics? I dont think so. Graphics can make games better. Wouldn't it be cool to have COD4 on the Wii? or GTA 4 on the Wii. The reason these games arnt on the Wii is mainly because it graphically cant handle it and playing these games with terrible graphics would make them suck. Just want to clear that up. Not as flaming, I was a wii owner but it just wasn't for me. Also being on topic, does it really matter what the potential is? Most of the wii games have shown terrible graphics besides a few exclusives. Thing is, why not comapre the wii to next-gen? Isn't the wii part of the next-gen? It's like saying ohhhh, the PS3 has 100X graphics compared to the xbox! Well who cares. Xbox was like 5 years ago, we are talking NOW! So its rather funny when wii fans will comapare the wii to old gen systems. Yes, a while back the price differneces made the wii almost in a different category then the PS3 and 360. But now, the console are almost closely priced, and they ARE next-gen consoles. Wii would be awesome if it had graphics close to PS3s, with the same unique gameplay, and games like GTA 4 , COD 4 etc. That would be beast

If it has better graphics than the original Xbox, I must be buying all the wrong games because I have not seen them!ice_radon

I dont know how it can be better than the original Xbox if it cant even produce HD resolutions, while in the other hand the Xbox could.. I dont even think it reached in par with PS2 either, people say mario galaxy that has no voice acting real facial animations or anything While Rachet and Clank, and Jak 3 had everything, and action pack CS and superb facial animation and lyp syncing. Wii doesnt have games that look better than MGS,GoW,GT4,GTA:SA,DMC,Tekken5,MLB 08 The show,NBA 2K8,ESPN NFL 2K5,R&C,JaK3,FFX,FFXII and a whole bunch of others, and these are all PS2 GAMES. Mario Galaxy was the only impressive game because it was colorful. This is like saying GameCube has better graphics than PS2, its true, but who cares if it doesnt produce any games that look better. GC>XBOX>PS2
