[QUOTE="The_Nemacyst"][QUOTE="Kenshi_is_god"][QUOTE="The_Nemacyst"][QUOTE="rowzzr"][QUOTE="The_Nemacyst"]

The wii graphics are crap. Nintendo wanted to make a profit unlike Sony or Microsoft (whom basically lost profits for their fans)

So they didn't make good hardware.

Kenshi_is_god

uhh that's dumb. of course they wanted profits, duh? would you create a company simply to lose money?
sony MS lost money for their fans? nope, that's not what they had in mind, dude. they lost money because they made wrong marketing/business/whatever moves.

If they wanted to make a big of a profit as Nintendo, then they would have never released their consoles with superior graphics in the first place?


Wrong? You're trying to tell us that MS is like. "You know what, I don't want money, lets make a gaming system, cause im getting bored. You know what? While we're at it, lets not have ANY plans for future profits!" Obviously coming into a market, you're going to take a hit. Hell MS hasn't made a profit since they started, and now they are finally doing so. So I guess in your world, MS is going to pull, wait a few years, then jump right back in right? No. Do you think Sony is happy losing billions over the PS3? No, they don't care, they want you to buy it. Hell you buy it, they got the sale #, you can do whatever the hell you want with it. They probably laugh at breakmyps3.com and say "well we already made the sale, do we care?"    Answer : no. They don't.

You know nothing. Sony and Microsoft have business other than gaming, this loss is not that much. They believe that gaming is a investment for the future, or so I heard.

Anyways, SMG looks like crap. It won't look like that either, Wii is not in HD, yet the screenshots are.. Why?
You have to look at it this way, Kameo is NOT a 1st party game and yet it looks better than any Wii game as of now, and probably in the future. If you think giving the Wii time makes it a lot better, imagine the Xbox360 and PS3 with time. They are very potential consoles.

I know nothing eh?
First off, just because they can fall back on other divisions, does not mean they are happy to take a loss for you. You need to learn your business before you argue it.
Second, Kameo was worked on by Rare and MGS, therefore it is a first party title. You can argue its a second party title, but they are pretty much one in the same, being that that company would be owned by the first party title maker, they would have the same tools and help available.
Third off. SMG does not look like crap, and no those screens arent in HD, are you mentally retarded? apparently so. Notice how I say vids and you say screen shots. Watch a vid, it looks great in motion, but it's okay, I know you'll replace the word videos with screens, because you know you're wrong.
Obviously every console will evolve in time. IM not saying they will look better than 360 and ps3, find to me where i said that.
I said you're saying its bad with either no reason or terrible reasons(im beginning to get sick of reading your posts, thats how terrible they are), and you continue to deny you are wrong that with time they will look good, and it's even been proven by some game videos.

It's 1 AM. go ahead and report me for calling you retarded, I don't care, because I really think you must be. The only redemption you have right now is that you have maddox in your sig. again, it's 1 AM, im going to bed. later

I didn't call you a retard I said you know nothing because you were blatantly handing out false facts.

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/kameoelementsofpower/tech_info.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary

Note how it says "Publisher Microsoft Gaming Studios"

"Developer: Rare"

Anyways, Microsoft is taking in a loss because they can afford it. I simply stated their gaming division was losing money, I never said "Microsoft as a whole is in debt because they love their fans"

Super Mario Galaxy looks like crap.
1) Perfect Dark Zero looks better than it
2) The developer screenshots were in HD
3) Jaggie land

Since when does this look good?

This is much better

Note how Kameo is a first generation title.. Unlike Gears of War, yet it looks much better than than what SMG has to offer.. And guess what?

Xbox360 games are going to look like this in MAY

Wii graphics aren't crap, you just have high standards. I'm sure in 1-2 years from now PC gamers can say PS3 and Xbox 360 games look like crap. It's all a matter of opinion, and quite frankly Zelda TP looks quite good to me, considering it's a direct Gamecube port, not to mention Mario Galaxy looks amazing.Sure it doesn't sport the new flashier effects that a PS3/360 owner might expect, but only a complete fanboy or Wii-hater would say that game looks ugly.

It's all opinion. In someone else's opinion, Pong has good graphics... Opinion opinion, but here's some fact. Xbox360/PS3/PC can have more much much more polygons than the Wii.

There's no doubt PDZ looks better than SMG (that's a duh, everybody knows Wii loses out graphically, but still everyday there are threads about it, pretty obvious who's doing the damage control here), but saying that screen looks bad? You are weird.

What kind of life do you have, you're on the same message board buddy :lol: I have a full life and Im happoy as long as Im not you

It may seem like that, flamingschmoes, but you and I know that isn't true. You can try and cover up your insecurities with cutsy wutsy little emoticons, but you're still an antisocial overweight kid under there.

Go away. Your post's aren't contributing to this thread.

The Wii does have graphic issues though. COD3 is comparable to an N64 title.

Guess what EVERYONE knows that. Stop saying it like it's some dusty secret you just dragged out. So of course, Wii games will look worse off compared to PS3/360, but saying they are crap (well most of the 3rd part ones are), especially SMG is crap, is opinion.

You just did exactly what he said you would. not only that you did it even worse. not only did you only post a screen shot, but it was off screen which always makes games look much worse. you totally just owned yourself. and no one ever expected the wii to look as good as the 360.

and in an earlier post you you played wii sports and you said you were having fun. would that game have been fun at all if you had been using a regular controler? the answer is almost asuradly a big fat NO.

You are correct, but again it's /your/ opinion that Wii graphics look like crap, beacuse I honestly don't think they are. That pong example is stupid, almost as if the Wii might as well be a computer from the late 70's. :roll: The Wii isn't a powerhouse, but who cares? Oh..Wait.. you seem to. Why? Who knows, maybe your trying to prove a point that in the end is just your opinion. No one really cares, sorry.

If it bothers you that much go cry to Nintendo. Games are games. If a particular game is fun, then you know what? IT'S FUN! And if it's fun I'm going to play it, regardless of what graphical bells it sports or is lacking.

It looks like crap. How is that biased? That is my opinion, my own opinion on what things look like. Maybe I am biased because I have been playing my Halo 2 in 720p, because I have been playing my Gears of War in 1080i, because I have been playing Oblivion on my pc. If that is considered "bias" then yes I am biased. I have high standards for graphics.

LOL. I love how Nemacyst was like "bu-bu-but....those SMG are in HD!!! (although you can go to IGN and see that all of them are clearly ripped straight from a gameplay video). He subsequently compares a poor picture (with an awful angle to boot) of SMG with the best HD screens he could find of Kameo and Mass Effect. Pathetic.

[QUOTE="MaTT2011"][QUOTE="Gaming4_Life"][QUOTE="MaTT2011"][QUOTE="Gaming4_Life"]I concur, to some extent. The Wii is yes a breath of refreshing air and its going to go along way and it will push the industry even further,but at the same time so will the X360 and PS3. To all the naysayers who said graphics have hit there limit......HAHAH....thats a joke. The_Nemacyst
No, its not; have you ever heard of the uncanny valley? Also: at some point in the future graphics capabilities will be such that EVERYTHING will look as realistic as it possibly can.....where do you go from there? I bet when that happens we will see a WHOLE lot more threads in places like this about GAMEPLAY. But until that day comes we are going to have fools bickering back and forth about nothing, saying nothing but, "Yay this because its got the l33t gfx!" and "boo that because it doesnt have good enough graphics." Actually kind of like the OT's original post....

I said to an extent. I agree that we need the Wii here, yet some many people don't realize it. Just as I'd hate to have 3 console powerhouses I would hate to have 3 consoles that are gameplay only based. When the smoke clears and the dust settles the console with the best games is always going to win imo.

I was actually refferring to this statement that you made: "To all the naysayers who said graphics have hit there limit......HAHAH....thats a joke." i was saying no to the joke part. Graphics WILL reach a point where they cant go further in terms of realism. They havent gotten their yet but they will and probably sooner than most people think.

Not at all. Graphics can exceed realism.. For example, look at the Movie 300. It is realism, and it's improved with art. Well thats my opinion, I'm one of the people whom love the lighting in the movie "300". It should be like that in everymovie.

What?Now I know your smoking. Im putting that in my sig. Im an artist and graphics cannot exceed realism. Its not possible, Something cannot be more than real. The movie 300 is good and it has a good art style but saying its improved over realism is subjective and quite frankly a very unintelligent thing to say. It makes me question your age, because Im confident anyone over the age of 17 wouldnt say such a remark.

Why you guys even arguing with this guy?  Just smile and node.  *smiling and noding* Yes the wii is crap. Yes the wii=no fun. Yes you are 100% right and are the coolest guy ever because all you care about is graphics and you want people to think you're cool because you bash the wii for the graphics not being as good as 360 or PS3.  Yes you're so cool. Yes now you can go to sleep and dream peacefully knowing that you told us what you thought about the wii even though we don't care. sleeeeppppp.

Just as I'd hate to have 3 console powerhouses I would hate to have 3 consoles that are gameplay only based.

I was actually refferring to this statement that you made: "To all the naysayers who said graphics have hit there limit......HAHAH....thats a joke." i was saying no to the joke part. Graphics WILL reach a point where they cant go further in terms of realism. They havent gotten their yet but they will and probably sooner than most people think.

Not at all. Graphics can exceed realism.. For example, look at the Movie 300. It is realism, and it's improved with art. Well thats my opinion, I'm one of the people whom love the lighting in the movie "300". It should be like that in everymovie.

What?Now I know your smoking. Im putting that in my sig. Im an artist and graphics cannot exceed realism. Its not possible, Something cannot be more than real. The movie 300 is good and it has a good art style but saying its improved over realism is subjective and quite frankly a very unintelligent thing to say. It makes me question your age, because Im confident anyone over the age of 17 wouldnt say such a remark.

I guess you haven't seen Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings of real life figures... In some ways, they have more grace than they do in those paintings than in real life. Take this for example. http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~tstronds/nostalghia.com/TheGraphics/paintings/Ginevra.jpg It's beautiful.

Can't argue that. But TC is saying SMG looks like crap. Now that's his fullblown bias speaking

It looks like crap. How is that biased? That is my opinion, my own opinion on what things look like. Maybe I am biased because I have been playing my Halo 2 in 720p, because I have been playing my Gears of War in 1080i, because I have been playing Oblivion on my pc. If that is considered "bias" then yes I am biased. I have high standards for graphics.

Nemacyst, Nemacyst, Nemacyst... Do I have to give you another lecture on subjective graphical standards?

SMG looks good for a Wii game. Much like how GOW2 looks good for a PS2 game, but compared to the other games out by the time SMG is out... It's not worth mentioning about the graphics.

A comparative analysis... True, but still fails to account for personal standards and biases. I'm just hoping that you're understanding what I'm getting at here. Your standards aren't universal. Is Mass Effect much better, in terms of technical graphics, than SMG? Yes. But does that mean "[SMG's] not worth mentioning about the graphics"? That's... well... you already know what that is.

To me graphics add a unique and awesome quality, but honestly they arent that important. Graphics can awe you but Gameplay is where its at. Take some of the best games of all time. Contra 3, Zelda( all of them), Metriod, Super Metriod,ect... all of these are fantastic and will always be classics.

So to say that art looks better than real life is completely ridiculous. Leonardo would of slapped you in the face! He spent his whole life trying to mimic real life, trying to understand it and then put it on paper. You obviously have no idea what your talking about and at this point its just pathetic.

[QUOTE="GundamGuy0"][QUOTE="The_Nemacyst"]

I am tired of fanboys. Especially sheep. Who claim " Gameplay is better than graphics"

But before you flame, read my whole post.

Fanboys usually have retarded reasons why gameplay is better than graphics.. Like

"LoLz, if you think gameplay is worser than graphics, then go watch a movie.."

My comeback? "Well, if you have no graphics whatsoever, enjoy playing Zelda when your screen is off"

I also hate it how sheep act as if the Wii makes the gameplay better than the other consoles. The gameplay is the same. It's not like Xbox360/PS3 = Only graphics.

The Xbox360/PS3 = Next generation graphics, plus gameplay that we all love since last gen. I mean, I hate it how sheep hate games without motion sensing, when less than 2-3 years ago they were loving Resident Evil 4, SSBM etc.

The Wii is not new revolutionary gameplay. Games like WarioWare/Cooking Mama/Trauma Center are not game changing gameplay. There are hundreds of better games.

Gameplay depends on the actually gameplay of the game, not just the controller. The Wii also has bad graphics.

The_Nemacyst


We didn't see those kinds of games 4 years ago... and there are more and more poping up everday... Something must have changed.

We didn't see games where physics really matter 4 years ago. We didn't see full in game voicing. We didn't see revolutionary graphics. We didn't see gameplay like GoW2. We didn't see many things.

You think God of War 2 has more innovative gameplay than the Wii games mentioned? Hmm...

Man there has been a ton of damage control since the NPD sales data was released. I guess all the fanboys had to do something to dry their tears. Damn I thought gaming was about having fun not about looking at a pretty picture. Kid if graphics are all that matters to you ditch the consoles and buy a gaming rig seriously.

You do realize that "ideal" beauty was (and is) completely subjective?

This is how I knew that he painted "graceful" art pictures in the first place. They made points about how it "exceeded" realism in some ways, especially how Leonardo was fascinated in horses too because of their muscle.

More beautiful than real life is subjective. You cannot say leonardos paintings were better than real life. That is probably one of the most moronic things I have ever heard. I understand your saying "life is not perfect and leonardo drew it perfect therefore its more beautiful"......but that in itself is an oxymoron. An imperfect being cannot produce something perfect...even if its a picture. ------ Leonardo is a great artist but to say he drew perfectly porportioned humans is very subjective. Where and who was his model of a perfect being? Who devised the standard of a perfect human? How tall is one, how short, how big are the eyes? Whats the measurement between the eyes? What your saying is impossible. Leonardo studied the human anatomy and even life on earth but if there are no perfect humans how can he draw what is to be a perfect human. --------- A "perfect" human is only subjective since no one has seen one. And one might consider imperfections more beautiful than perfections. Thats why realism and naturalistic art appeared. It seems you don't know what art is. To say Leonardos paintings/sketches were more beautiful than life is very.......well.......unintelligent.

Agreed. The only excuse sheep have for there bad quality games is "Gameplay over Graphics". Well how much better would your precious Zelda be if it had graphics like Gears of War?

You want to see how graphics exceed realism?

Art. Wonder why Gears of War got only a 9 while Okami got a 10 in graphics? Same reason.

Imagine a game that looks photorealistic, but has art features in which you can not see in real life. That's better than realism for you.

Photorealism in video games will be easily achieved, although the art part is the harder one.

[QUOTE="flamingschmoes2"][QUOTE="Tristam22"] You do realize that "ideal" beauty was (and is) completely subjective?

Da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangeo Buonorotti incorporated mathematical design into their works. They appear on the surface gentle and natural, but their work is marked with a highly calculated purpose.

You want to see how graphics exceed realism?

Art. Wonder why Gears of War got only a 9 while Okami got a 10 in graphics? Same reason.

Imagine a game that looks photorealistic, but has art features in which you can not see in real life. That's better than realism for you.

Photorealism in video games will be easily achieved, although the art part is the harder one.

And? What does that mean? .... Just because Okami an art driven game got a 10 in graphics doesnt mean anything...That just proves the point that graphics don't matter all that much. If okami got a 10 in grphx on the PS2....then why buy a 360?

And again its all subjective. Some people prefer realism more that an artistic look on their games. Some people like San andreas looks better than saints rows cell shaded look. All subjective.

edit: Meant to put "Some people like Saints Rows looks better than crackdowns cell shaded look."

The wii graphics are crap. Nintendo wanted to make a profit unlike Sony or Microsoft (whom basically lost profits for their fans)

So they didn't make good hardware.

The_Nemacyst


No, Sony and Microsoft lost money so they could become the Media Center of your home... They get the money back from you, don't worry.

They really explains the 1000 dollar manufacturing cost for the PS3 at launch, that explains the 600 manufacturing cost for the 360 at launch.. /sarcasm Whats the cost for the Wii? Probably less than 60 dollars.

Microsoft lost money to grab up market share. Sony lost money to push Blu-ray into homes. Neither of them lost money for YOU. They aren't charities, their businesses. If they were working for you, Sony wouldn't gimp BC in PAL regions, and Microsoft wouldn't charge for XBL.

This is an good example, of how art can really express better than realism.

But what do I know?

Actually i my own opinion i think that gameplay is more important than graphics. Don't get me wrong you need to have the graphics they are very important but gameplay is what makes the experience. Gameplay gives you multiplayer, co-op, single player, online, ect.
And I think that swinging the Wii controller is more fun than button-mashing on the 360 and PS3

Exactly, what do you know! ARt is mostly to the eye of the beholder not yours. Art and realism are two different things, are photo considered a worthy art than paintings of Picaso? You have been emphasizing all day that graphics are so important and that the Wii graphic sucks so much. You even put emphasis that video games should be a form of art. Wii like the PS2, have bad graphics but will soon be imrpove when worked hard on it. PS2 launch as a lot of fanboys stated before have crappy graphics compare to Dreamcast.

Wii does not equate to abstract art or modern art. That was your first misstep. I never said a Michelangelo is better than a Pollack, you assumed that.

My POINT was there was a calculated effort by Michelangelo and other Renaissance artists, to faithfully ressurrect the beautiful, IDEALIZED, Greek art. Men and women are represented as more heroic and noble and beautiful than real life can show. It does not mean better or worse or anything, it just means the artist intentionally created that effect. Countless books have been written on this, it's not subjective that Leonardo intentionally bent his efforts and skills towards this.

I'll go read a real book on art rather than read your chickenscratch that isnt worth my time.

Wii doesn't equate to abstract art. But does that matter? Wii isnt capable of producing grphx that are on par with 360. So my point still stands. Who says leo is better than michael? Or vice versa. ( you do understand that when I write artist names, Im making a direct correlation between wii and 360 right? You seem to be missing that) Its all relative. Oh and Leo made idealised (what he thought was perfect) depictions of people. So his art in itself was subjective.

And why don't you go read an art book. You seem to be making a fool of yourself here.

This entire thread about graphics is very very subjective to begin with
