[QUOTE="haols"]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?" useLOGIC

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

i agree with that. the wii is should be doing things right now, that the xbox should shouldnt be capable of. Thats how things work, with the introduction of new hardware.

Well, you've only got one group of people to blame: lazy developers.

The only thing that makes me feel the Wii is stronger than the Xbox was the cold, hard, numbers...

Once again proving that numbers are meaningless when only Nintendo and a select few developers can take advantage of it...

If only Factor 5 made a game for the Wii... if only... They said they could do worlds better than before...

No its not, thats not it at all. PS3 and Xbox360 are both next gen. So asking why the PS3 isnt better then the 360 yet you could use the argument, but the Xbox is 'last gen' and the wii is 'new gen' so the wii, if not as good as the 360 and ps3, should at leastbe better then the old Xbox.

I expect near the end of the Wii life cycle that we'lll see games twice as good as these. Right now some games are better looking but not by much.

Because you touch yourself at night. What else do you want to hear? Do I have an answer to why they look like that? No. Let me write an e-mail of complaint to the developers saying that they need to raise the poly count on their games to appease people who don't even own a Wii to make them happy. I'm sure they would respond positively, if at all. We all know the Wii is graphically weak, the more you say it doesn't change anything.

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

I ask myself the same question about PC games. How can they possibly have a bad looking PC game?

That's stupid though, PC hardware is always different and always changing, so they don't even get to have the hardware for 6 months, then they have to make it work better on a new set of technology.

"we will see games to the casual gamers, they don't ask too much, why would we give them more than what they ask for"

The Wii, and even the Gamecube can do better than the X-Box, but whereas the X-Box has everything sort of like a template, where you just have to fill in the blanks, the Wiis graphics system works from the ground up, so when devs actually take the time, they can make games that look like a 360 without HD.

So, you're saying that the developers pushing games for the newest and best hardware are the ones releasing the games with the worst graphics?

Ha, just thought of the perfect simile.

Whereas other consoles graphics are sort of like a paint by number, the Wii and Gamecube are like a blank piece of paper. Chances are, it's going to be a lot worse, but if someone who really knows what they're doing, and makes an effort, decides to see what he can do, the result will be awe inspiring.

yeah i guess i bothers me a bit, still it didn't stop the PS2 (weakest hardware according to you) from being the best console last gen sales&software-wise... and that's exactly where i hope the Wii is heading to :)

Metroid Prime 3 looks much better than Doom3 and Riddick I believe. The new videos of SMG show it looks better than any xbox game (I have one BTW).

Ok, to kill this thread quickly, one question, at what stage of the xbox1's lifespan were all of those games released? IF you said 1st year for any of them you flop, but whatever you say this thread flops because of this small oversight on the part of the thread starter.

You're late to the party. That argument was back in page one, and was obliterated in a couple posts.

For one, Chronicles of Riddick doesn't look that good at all, I just played it an hour ago, trust me, the other games I have not played (besides splinter cell, and I havn't touched that game in a while) but those riddick screens are from the PC version, which looks tons better (xbox version lacked anti-aliasing big time).

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

Aljosa23

I think it used HDR. (Yes, Xbox 1 can do HDR. Half-Life 2 used it). The lighitng in Conker was amazing. The animations on the characters were great, too.

This isn't about art style. This is about the technical limits of each system. We will never see a Wii game that looks anything like Riddick. It does not have the hardware to compete with Xbox 1.

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

Why should it matter if people use the best games from a console thats 6 years old. It shouldn't be an issue but it is. Good job nintendo for sucking this gen.

[QUOTE="Luigi_Vincetana"][QUOTE="no_submission"]Wii+HDTV= :cry:no_submission

Only if your HDTV sucks.

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

If your Wii looks bad on that TV than your progressive scan DVD player must look bad on it too :roll:

The quality of a TV's scaler makes a huge difference in terms of image quality, so either your playing games with really bad graphics or your TV just has a poor scaler.

Some here fail to see that the Wii has hardly been out for a year, it hasn't had time to show it's real potential, as has the PS3, it's far too early to call the shots on who's better.

Whatever happened to rationality?

Its because the wii is new hardware and it hasn't been fully optimised yet, Games like Splinter cell chaos theory and conker (which both still look very impressive) are pushing the xbox as far as it can go, so its basically a fully optimised game that uses as much of the xboxs power as possible, this isn't to say that there will be games on the wii that look as good as these but its not just about the hardware, its about how well optimised it can be. Kinda like the ps3, it has the cell which has alot of potential and the new type of ram (forgot what its called) that runs at 3.2GHz which is alot faster than the DDR2 ram used in the 360, but that doesn't mean that games will look better on the ps3, its likely that the cell will never be used to its full advantage in the ps3,and all the other technology that is new to developers just makes it harder to make better looking games. And also scares off developers from developing games no that system.......and lets not forget bad ports.

Yep, when i first got the game i couldn't believe how good it looked, same with splinter cell chaos theory, that had to be one of my favorite games last gen.

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.

Because sadly most developers so far would rather make a cheap cash in then try hard to make a decent game.:(

Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 look on par/slightly beter then XBOX 1 games though :),so there's hope for the future.
