HD is a nice luxury. Makes games look prettier, and no HD is not a gimmick. /threadThe_PumesWhen the back of my 360 box says true 720p hd res for all games, with a pic of PDZ next to it - ironically the game isnt even in true 720p - then it is a gimmick. Or a scam.
Or looking at the back of the COD4, Halo 3 boxes, that label the games as 720p, and 1080p hd. Barstards.

Explain to me why Mass effcet got an 8.5, R/C got an 7.5.
Graphics dont make the game, out of cows/lemms/hermits the former two cant seem to grasp that.
7.5 is considered GOOD. and 8.5 is considered GREAT... They are both good games, that happen to look amazing.
which is something Wii owners can rarely say about their games.
You act as if both games are terrible and look pretty but scored in the 4's or something.
I would say your logic is flawed...but you don't seem to have any.

People call the wii a gimmick all the time, but really lets look at the real gimmick this gen. HD, Cows/Lemms praise this like the second comming of jesus. Even though Hermits had HD gaming years ago(i even had it and i dont p/c game). True HD isnt even implemented in most of the big games that come out, while motion sensing is used in clever and intuitive ways on the BIG wii games.
HD, wont save any consoles this gen, only games will.

720P is true 100% HD. Forget about "real HD". lol That is just a marketing phrase. Don't drink the Kool Aid man. While it can be very hard to tell the difference between a 720p image upscaled to 1080p, and a native 1080p image, the difference between an HD and an SD image is HUGE.
"...while motion sensing is used in clever and intuitive ways on the BIG wii games."
I love how you put the limitation of "Big wii games" on your statement. At least you seem to have noticed that motion implementation on most games is to their detrement. Multi plats + Wii-mote= Crap. A few games make awesome use of the Wii mote, but they are few and far between. For every Warioware their are 10 Soul Calibur Legends. And no, legends isn't any good.
And I upgraded my 3 year old video card, and played through a quater of the singleplayer, hours of multiplayer, and sanbox editor - and iteasily has the best gameplay I have played in an FPS this year. That include Bioshock, Halo 3, COD4, UT3, Orange Box, Stalker ect. - all of which I own.Played BioShock, played Halo 3, played CoD4, played Orange Box, STALKER looked terrible, and UT3 comes out for PS3 in a few weeks. So, it's down to one game, and there's just nothing there to make it worth dumping $600 on a new GPU, MB, CPU and RAM. And that'd just be a C2D and an 8800GT, which I hear doesn't even run Crysis that well after the first couple levels. No thanks.

Dude you are a sheep, you don't get to use that word. Remember you are the ones pretending that you don't want or care how games look, and then gush over the Super Mario Galaxy visuals. (Which for your informations looks dang fine.)
Graphics can add a lot to a game. The only people who deny this are the Sheep because they are excessively truthful and honest to themselves. :roll:

And no the game runs fantastically through the whole game. Dont know where you are getting your information from. And sure upgrading for Crysis alone is a big ask. I didnt. I upgraded for all my 170+ PC games to benifit - more noteably titles that have come out in the last 3 years, and the next 2-3 years onwards.

Never the less Crysis's gameplay is steller, and easily the best ive played this year - not to mention the later levels and power struggle is amazing. CoD feels like a bit of a controlled thrill ride, Halo is the same as in 01, Bioshock gives you options and variety - but ultimatley proves to be a bit repedative, and Stalker was fantastic, but turned into a bit of a run and gun game in the last hours. Oh and the OB was great - just way to short, and pretty much the same forumla of HL2, only improved in volumes. Im still yet to beat Bioshock though.

LOL. Guess I touched a nerve there, heh. Calm the freaking heck down man. Dude, its ok I own a Wii. Im in the fold. LOL!
So now I understand what you were saying about "True HD isnt even implemented in most of the big games". You are complaining about "most games" being released in 640p as opposed to 720p. (Quick question: can you tell the difference? SPOILER ALERT! Quick answer: No, you cannot.) I thought you were a fanboy ranting away, now I see you are just uninformed. Allow me to teach you something:
Halo 3 doesn't count as "most of the big games."
"Get outts your wanna-be elitist hermit attitude." LOL. So I'm a Hermit because I talk about graphics and 720p and 1080p? But I thought that "lemmings ARE the biggest graphic whores on SW". Not sure why you focus so much of your attention on the Lemms graphic whoring abilities. They are weak next to the Hermits. I agree with the first of your contradicting statements.
You need to wake up and smell the coffe. HDTV's are here to stay. Nintendo missed the mark by excluding it. Wii is still awesome, but the games just don't look as good as the games on other platforms. PS3, Xbox, PC... you choose.
I understand people having HD for gaming but really, you're not missing much when you're playing video-games. I mean, when I play games in my room with my SD television set and I do not think I'm missing much when I play on SD tv. I mean, seriously, the PC had these years ago and they were'nt hyping this like the second coming of Jesus as commericals these days are. If people really care about true HD they should go for the PC because true HD is not coming any time soon for the console world. Look at Halo 3, COD4 etc... it proves that you just need to have fun to play games, not graphics.
Its true that it is benefit and I wouldn't mind having one, but I certainly don't need one anytime soon because the latest HD DVDS, HD TV etc.. are going to be replaced with new, more exciting features that can be cheaper than the corporations that are shoving this stuff in are throat right now. All we have to do wait. Another thing, I do not want to listen to Fan-boys telling me that I"m missing so much because I do not own a HD TV. Seriously, people there really isn't much a different to the point that people can compare to the transition of non coloured TV to coloured TV.

Play a non HD game onan HDTV then tell me it doesn't matter.
Well most new HDTV actually upscale non-HD resolutions to HD resolutions. So Non-HD games look alright. True HD games look great, some, spectacular.

HD does make a big difference, though. I used to be skeptical, until I moved my 360 onto a TV that could product 720p for a month, and then moved it back to a SD TV and everything felt blurry. I then moved it to its current position: a 22" monitor displaying in 1080p. The difference is amazing. I don't think I can go back to anything else.
EDIT: For clarification, I used Mass Effect and Halo 3 mostly for these comparisons.

You're so wrong its pathetic. I'm not even sure why you don't just give up, considering you don't think 640p is real HD. He's not assuming anything, he is going by what you say and retorting accordingly. And the mere fact PCs have been doing it for years is a HUGE sign of how outdated the Wii really is.
Get over it. Wii graphics are caught inbetween last-gen and this one, and ontop of that, they lack the ability to play in HD. Something that DOES make a big difference [As previously stated, you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference between 640p, 720p, and 1080p, but the difference between SD and HD IS very noticable. If you say otherwise, I know you're talking out of your ass.]
I personally don't think HD is 100% needed in games but I would love for wii to be HD and it would look great on my 1080p tv :(
Oh well maybe i'll get a 360
I'm not saying I dislike HD, its just that the consoles like the wii show its not fully needed but i personally would love for the wii to have HD :)

Its only a gimmick to you because either
A: You dont have an HDTV
B: You only have a wii and cant tell the difference
I agree a good game is a good game no matter what definition you play it in. However man is it nice to have that extra resolution.
Do you have any idea how much better super mario galaxy would look in 1080i? I doubt it

I wouldnt call it a gimmick when HD did not even come with this gen. Its just that HDTV's are the next logical step in "evolution" of tv's so why wouldnt consoles try to benefit from it?
I live in Finland and some study showed that 40% of population is going to buy an HDTV next year.

I own a wii and i think 90% of the games are truely crap.
There was absolutely nothing that stopped Nintendo from producing a cheap console that could output decent HD graphics at a decent framerate. They are greedier than Sony and Microsoft. I got the Wii for the gameplay but i think Galaxy might be the only game that has delivered on that promise.
But Seriously, if a wii game gets 8.5 its a big deal ... sheep seem to like grasping at straws.
It's not as if ME and R&C got low scores for there gameplay either, ME had issues and R&C was too easy.
The wiimote is a gimmick and overly priced (yes the hardware inside it only costs $2 to make.) It was shaped as a TV remote for one reason to appeal to those none gamer idiots that looked at a normal controller and thought it was tooo scary to use cause of all the buttons(dumb asses).
HD is a nice feature but certainly not needed but not a gimmick either.

Only the Wii fans post this stuff. The simple fact is that an HDTV can make games look a whole lot pretter.
"True HD isnt even implemented in most of the big games that come out... "
720P is true 100% HD. Forget about "real HD". lol That is just a marketing phrase. Don't drink the Kool Aid man. While it can be very hard to tell the difference between a 720p image upscaled to 1080p, and a native 1080p image, the difference between an HD and an SD image is HUGE.
"...while motion sensing is used in clever and intuitive ways on the BIG wii games."
I love how you put the limitation of "Big wii games" on your statement. At least you seem to have noticed that motion implementation on most games is to their detrement. Multi plats + Wii-mote= Crap. A few games make awesome use of the Wii mote, but they are few and far between. For every Warioware their are 10 Soul Calibur Legends. And no, legends isn't any good.
While 720 is HD, it's only half-HD, while 1080p is true Full-HD. There is a difference in deatail, 1080p has almost twice the resoution of 720p and it's very noticiable in PCs with he screen inches way from you eyes, while on TVs, you only notice if you sit really close or if your TV is bigger than 42". And PCs have been doing resolutions above those for ages now.
You second point, I agree fully. Wii games that use Wiimote in a fundamental, clever way, that increases the fun are really scarse but awesome. It's sad wii gets mostly sholvelware.
PS: Part of the problem is also developers and theirs inability to figure out interesting ways of using the wiimote, what I believe happen with Legends.
It's not as if ME and R&C got low scores for there gameplay either, ME had issues and R&C was too easy.
The wiimote is a gimmick and overly priced (yes the hardware inside it only costs $2 to make.) It was shaped as a TV remote for one reason to appeal to those none gamer idiots that looked at a normal controller and thought it was tooo scary to use cause of all the buttons(dumb asses).
HD is a nice feature but certainly not needed but not a gimmick either.

Ok, then did their graphics or HD help them meet hype?
