Can the Wii really do this? (56k go away)

According to the The Official Nintendo Magazine , the first version of the Sonic Unleashed Wii Visuals are identical to those which were issued to date on the net! The design is defined as truly next-gen for the Nintendo console.

The more I look at them, the more i think its actually possible for the Wii to handle it. This is deffinately a huuuuuge step in wii's graphics and probably more so in its 3rd party support. If all wii games start looking like that, maybe more dev's will start porting their PS3/360 titles to Wii with a little graphical downgrade!

That looks pretty good. Not near 360/PS3 good, but nice and clean. I like it.

Erm no, I'm pretty sure those were confirmed to be 360 shots. I don't believe any shots of the Wii game have been released/leaked.metroidfood

Maybe, but it's disappointing for the 360. The textures aren't varied at all.

It should be close, it's not like we're looking at OMG Crysis level textures and detail. However I highly doubt the Wii can pull off that lighting.PBSnipes

The lighting actually looks pretty basic if you look at it. There's no detailed shadows of the tree leaves and branches, and the smaller tree branches and leaves themselves look like they're composed of flat textures rather than actual models. And it's not like the Wii is incapable of shadows. Maybe real-time dynamic shadows from multiple light sources, but this new Sonic looks like an on-rails game, which means shadows will largely be static except for Sonic himself.

I wouldnt say it looks on PAR with Galaxy, the lighting looks alittle better,

but i think the wii could be very close to that

No... I really think all the versions will look worse and will probably disappoint us. I really want to be wrong though.Homesrfan

fixed lol

I have this strange feeling that those shots have had some post-shot processing done to them, as they appear to clean for even PS3/360 shots in terms of jaggies/etc.SpruceCaboose

Oh, absolutely these are bullshots. But if you ignore the extra polish and just look at the geometry and lighting, it's all pretty doable even on the Wii.

Go buy MarioKart Wii so you can all come back to reality :lol:

Because if I don't keep my fingers busy on the keyboard, they do naughty things.

No that looks more for 360 graphics. Sonic is too well rounded to be on the Wii. And the bluring affects arnt anything the wii could handle.beinss

Wii can do everything ps3/360 can do, just to a lesser extent.

The wii can pull of those bluring effects.

I'll wait and see at E3.

Sega hasn't confirmed which system these shots are from. Or did they?

You know what I mean, Rouge sqaudron still loks great even today.

If Wii can pull that off my jaw would be on the floor, literally I would be stunned.

That looks great for 360/PS3, let alone the Wii? I'd be immensly impressed.

sure the wii can do that. It looks about on par with galaxy.jack_russel

Although not at the resolution that those screens are displayed on.
