AWH! How come wii games don't look like this? (56k be careful)

They don't look miles better but mario galaxy (the best example of wii hardware) looks noticeably better than conker.

Metroid looks better in motion than 95% of xbox games but not quite as good so far as riddick and splinter cell.

Give it time I'm sure wii will have some games in the future that beat out those few. I'm actually quite fine if wii games only end up lookingas good assplinter cell.

Smash bros also looks great.

really i dont knowwannweed

You can pretty much call the Wii a "casual's gaming machine" LOL :) But seriously... what can you expect from a machine that's like the size of a VHS :P

It bothers me as well, but I hope that they start to push the hardware soon. Have we truly seen things done on the Wii that absolutely CANNOT be done by pushing the GC to its limits? The jury is still out on that one, IMO.

I sometimes see people comparing SSBB with Melee, but Melee came out very early in the GC's life. I wonder sometimes if SSBB can be done on the GC. Who knows...

Wii owners don't care about how good the games looks or how well they play, they are happy as long as it sells enough copies

You're confusing Wii owners with System Wars Wii Fanboys.

lol some of those look on par with 360 games.

If you told me riddick, splinter cell and farcry were 360 games I wouldn't question it.

EDIT: omg riddick looks better than halo 3 :shock: seriously someone do a comparison.

The shrunken images make those games look a lot better than they do in real life.

I have to say good point

Man, I never knew Conker L&R looks that good :shock:.

It's what I've been saying for quite a while now.. but when you bring up the truth then you get called a fakeboy which is always hilarious.

My sig says it all.

Well, how late did those Xbox games come in it's lifetime?

3 years?

Wii has been out one year.

It is exactly the same thing to ask "Why doesn't PS3 games look better then Xbox 360 games?" haols

The Wii uses the same dev kits as the gamecube, nice try though.

As much as I like my Wii...it's clear that both Nintendo and 3rd party devs are using itas a cheap way to make money. The Wii is clearly capable of producing what the Xbox did except its so much quicker and easier for people to dump out a mini-game collection, or a PS2 port than to make a new game from the ground up.

I believe those games ARE on the way, but it would be nice if we saw some hint of them now so that people could see what the Wii was truly capable of. Because right now, they are still pushing the motion controls and that's mainly advertising for games like Wario or Brain Age...not exactly graphics intensive.

30" 720p Samsung LCD, nice try though:wink:

I need to get Ridick and see what all the fuss is about because, quite frankly, I'm not impressed by the screens (all I see in them is overly shiny normal mapping cloaking a low poly characters and environments).Luigi_Vincetana

That is all the graphics are. It's just that it does very well with it's art direction.

---OkeyDokey---

You need a pair of new eyeballs :D

Why do people use the best looking games on the xbox and expect all the Wii games to match it? What about the bad looking xbox games? The Wii has plenty of pretty games coming up this fall, so I don't really see the issue, and quite frankly, I don't really care if my Wii games look marginally better to be on par with the xbox just for a few comparison thread's sake.linarite

They are similar enough in that they're both a ***** to deal with. The Wii is capable of producing great looking games, but requires you jump alot of hurdles.

Sudeki doesn't belong on that list, the Wii easily outclasses it. As for the other games, I'm really not sure, they're all very shader intensive and it's no secret that shaders are the Wii's weak point (you can only do so much with the TEV). On a similar note, I need to get Ridick and see what all the fuss is about because, quite frankly, I'm not impressed by the screens (all I see in them is overly shiny normal mapping cloaking a low poly characters and environments).Luigi_Vincetana

But devs have had the hardware for over 6 years, you know when the gamecube came out in 2001.

Yeah, and I don't care either. Wii graphics do what they are supposed to do noting more or less. They portray the game how the devs want it to be. If devs put in more effort then Wii games would look better.

Except, of course, that the Wii came 5 years into the Xbox' lifetime. One would hope a machine 5 years newer should display better graphics right off the gate.

And on another note, the Xbox was a powerhouse... them graphics still look pretty.

The Wii is about equal to the Xbox, so I blame it on lazy developers, really. Some of the first-party games look really good but most third-party games look like Gamecube games or worse.

And the Wii doesn't have some of the shaders the Xbox does, so it probably won't ever have shading like Doom 3 or Riddick.

becouse most third partydevelopers are lazy andjust want to make a quick buck because of how good its sellingand not take advantage of the hard ware. and have u looked at mario galaxy that looks better then most xbox gameslegend26

thank you. so do: MP3, SSBB and any other games ninty decide to release because they're the only ones that are putting effort into game quality atm

Yes the wii can do those shaders believe it! But they have to be custom built WHICH brings us back to the point about lazy devs...AGAIN...

all current gen platforms should be better than the original xbox, right off the bat. no excuses.

I own an xbox and wii too and i don't think you are being fair:

1)have you got a HD cable for the Wii and a HD TV? if so, play RE4 wii edition and come back to me.

2) current 3rd party games for the Wii are lousy apart from RE4. As you pointed out, pokemon battle revolution looks awesome.

Wii doesn't have the shaders to do normal mapping on every single surface, a la Splinter Cell, Doom, and Riddick. It has to be achieved through other means. However, Mario Galaxy looks better than Conker and Sudeki, and you could even argue that the GC game Rogue Leader looks better than xbox games like Ninja Gaiden Black.

But the real deal is: lazy developers. There hasn't been a developer with the stones to push the hardware, save for Nintendo.
