[QUOTE="Uptown"]
The CPU is like 50MHz faster....which is nothing noticeable....and the GPU and CPU are more efficient energy wise.

Um.... Try adding 189 to that number... Unless 485+50 = 729 these days.

The Wii's processor is "reported" to be 729MHz. If that number is correct, that means that the processor is 239Mhz faster than the 485MHz Flipper in the Gamecube.

Thank you, considering i don't know what you said, I think you backed up what i was saying. :)

Forgive my original bad math. I fixed my post. It's been a long friggin day of staring at computers and pulling my hair out..

I think the guy who said it was only 50MHz higher was comparing the Wii's processor to that in the original Xbox, not the GC. But that's not a good comparision, because comparing MHz in processors that have drastically different architectures is mostly pointless.

Anyways, I'm not sure how we got on this subject anyways. I thought that the fact that the Wii was more powerful than last-gen systems, but not nearly as strong as the Xbox360/PS3, was pretty much accepted, even in SW's.

[QUOTE="Uptown"][QUOTE="Hoffgod"][QUOTE="Trading_Zoner"]check out this red steel pic too guys!

I don't know about you guys, but this looks pretty much identical to the actual gameplay at that stage. Higher resolution, yes, but still...



that resolution makes a huge difference.

How? The textures look the same. The character models look the same. The gun & hand look the same. It all looks the same. If it's what's actually in the game, what does it matter if the screen shot is larger than 480? If anything it would make it look worse by blowing up the textures.

Compare the above picture to this

Don't really look the same. This is the closest screenshot I could find that's comparable to the high def picture. Don't expect the Pirates of the Caribbean to look the same as the high def pic that was posted.

Funny how one screend does it for most people when its a 'bad' screen or for a different system. But when its a good screen shot on Wii suddenly its 'Once screen won't do it! I need more and more until I find a bad one I can tout!'



Do you honestly think that is in game?

it will look WAY worse than that in game.

Just like Red steel and splinter cell dopuble agent looked WAY worse running on the Wii.

Red Steel looked like that screenshot you posted in game.

Thats what Red Steel looks like for real? RAOTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

Who would even promote a Wii screenshot anyway.  By definition it's going to look worse than a 360 or PS3 shot.  It supposed to be all about the gameplay right?

You're right. They do look different in two major areas: 1) Textures 2) Pixelation Textures are due to different environments. For example, compare the right hands. Except for being more pixelated in the second one, the hands look identical. So why is it pixelated? Because it's a screen capture off of a HDTV running 480i. 480i on a HDTV looks terrible. It's a pixelated mess compared to 480p on a HDTV or 480i on a SDTV. Why am I so confident that's the case? Because this image is from November, before Wii Component cables were out, and I'm pretty sure GameSpot doesn't use SDTV's anymore. Anytime you see them playing something, it's on an HDTV. Besides, I've played the game on a SDTV, and it looks a ton crisper than that.

hoffgod, one screen is vastly superior to the other. If you're honestly blaming the TV for the difference, that's just laughable. The review even mentions how vast the difference is between the shots released before the game launched and the actual game itself.

Wait, you mean the Gamespot review? Because it doesn't say anything about that, at least that I could find. It did mention a sluggish framerate and a horde of visual glitches, though, none of which would have been apparent from still screenshots.
