I can't even tell what I'm looking at. Look at the girl on the swivel chair. What part is the chair and what part is the body? What the hell is this stuff Nintendo? I'm not going to blame Capcom because they know how to do amazing graphics. Nintendo gave Capcom a system that just can't cut it. Look at these visuals below instead. Man, for $50 more you can have these graphics. Highly pleasing on the eyes and non-confusing, which is why devs prefer Xbox 360/PS3 more:

Nintendo may have made the wrong decision this gen. $50 more and you get HD graphics and real next-gen hardware inside.

For certain games the Wii definitely isn't the right platform, but have you played Resident Evil 4 on the Wii? It's wayyyy more fun. Metroid Prime 3 on the system is amazing, and although the graphics could use work, the wiimote makes for some pretty awesome battles. I'm not 100% convinced developers will always take advantage of the Wii's unique controls with every game that comes out, but when you play games like Link's Crossbow training, you get it. Your best bet is to pick up at least a PS3/360 and a Wii, if not just purchase them all. The Wii may not be superior to the other 2 systems, but the 360 and PS3 can't replicate the experience you have playing games on the Wii.

Watch this, this game looks incredibly fun, so that supercedes the graphics in my book, but I never found this game blindingly disgusting, so I guess that has something to do with it. And usually I don't play games that look bad, because if I can't find myself being convinced by the presentation, then I deem it as not playable.

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"]NMH is just ugly even taking art style into account.PhoebusFlows

Thank you. I appreciate straighforward wisdom. See, only one sentence and he summed it up better than me.

And bigboi, I am not a paid anything. If the Wii and sheep can show off sales, that means its including itself in the group, in the fray. So by doing do it also includes itself in other discussions including graphics. How many threads have there been with sheep saying motion controls make a game better with that dramatic sigh "oh I could NEVER go back to analog"

If they can say that, I can say this about the disappointing visuals. I even allowed the Wii some time to catch up. Perhaps devs have not fully understood the Wii (as if it was so complex lol) and now even a 2008-released game like No More Heroes looks like this is just awful. There are Xbox 360 arcade games that look better

I don't need to be told about the value of old things. My personal tastes in literature and film, if I may say so, run further back than most of you here. I love Eisenstein (you probably dont know him) and Dante (another one). I don't need a reteaching about how the old things can give us pleasure. i know that.

But video games are not as complex as literature or cinema. They are swiftly gratifying experiences, low on thought and high on reflexes and actions. They have always kept in step with the latest TV upgrades and sound upgrades. The Wii is the first system of Nintendo that has stayed way back. Gamecube and N64 kept up nicely, the Wii did not. It still uses Dolby Pro Logic II for sound. (no wonder why they didnt include DVD support) Books and classic cinema I can stand staying unchanged, but not video game systems.

If my protest seem loud now, I'd like to think it's because nobody wants to speak up.When Nintendo finally upgrades to HD graphics and uses Xbox 360-like features anyways, then the Sheep won't even remember what I said. They'll be like "la di da, I LOVE what Nintendo has done to the Wii 2. I love these upgrades!" And here I am - today - arguing that there should've been upgrades :roll: I'm just a man ahead of my time. :puts hand to forehead and sighs:

Actually, no, you are a well documented Wii hater. You are also considered by me, the most knowledgable gamespot poster, imo, to be a complete fraud.

In this post, you sir, used nearly unfindable, early test screens taken off screen and compared them to the best available Screens from Devil May Cry 3.

As I easily owned you earlier in this post with my comparisons of actual screenshots from nearly finished products of both games, I don't feel the need to tell you anything but congratulations.

This topic has done well. Most of these people, apparently, don't have the skill necessary to battle a semi-intelligent Wii hater, such as yourself. I however, do. You've suceeded in turning a few of this flock of uneducated masses against a great game, by using false screenshots. Congradulations.

Unfortunately for you, anything you, or I do here, will have no affect on the juggernaut of the sales world that is the Wii.

Compared to Nintendo's weekly sales, of the DS and the Wii, which make up nearly 60 percent of the entire video game market, sales of the microsoft and sony products, which you so adamantly defend, are nothing short of pathetic.

I would challenge you, if you can, to bring me some factual evidence. That means, something besides your opinion, and your flock of Wii haters that you have tricked into believing you. That means, none of your pathetic deductions or excuses, or predictions. Bring me some factual evidence that the Wii is largely selling to children. Bring me some factual evidence that Wii games aren't as fun or engaging to the hardcore gamers as are games for the 360, or the PS3.

This evidence doesn't exist. Therefore, you argument, unfortunately, was doomed from the start. You can't win with opinion alone. Not when you don't have a controlling majority. No matter how many fragile little minds your able to sway with your pathetic, long winded, troll topics, it won't change a single thing about the popularity and quality of the hardware race.

Your a man ahead of your time. For these forums I guess. However, I'd like to see you get past me. The guy MORE ahead of his time than you are.

Care to debate?

Let's be honest; anyone could've had the brainchild that the Wii "needs better hardware". Let's see...A system with motion controls and Xbox graphics, or a one with the same controls, and a graphics card which can max out Crysis? Obviously better graphics would enhance the experience, but they're not the only thing that matters. You say you appreciate "classic cinema"; why? For the most part you can't watch it in HD, and the farther back you go, the more exaggerated the acting becomes, the sound quality lowers, and some movies *gasp* are not even in color! And yet you're willing to allow this in appreciation of the art that is the movie, but not in videogames? Most of us here can probably name a favorite game that isn't on the current generation of consoles (the original Super Mario Bros., for example, or Final Fantasy VI), which should tell you that gameplay is more important than graphics over time. I 100% agree that the Wii could use an upgrade, but then again, if the games are good enough, the upgrade isn't as important. You plunk down $250, and you get a console, a game, and a motion controller that suddenly makes the simplest things interesting to do. I'd say that's worth it, right there. Videogames might not aspire to the heights of literature just yet, but they involve you in ways that even books and movies can't, and graphical fidelity is only one part of that.

Then how u can stand ps3 or xbox360 visuals when they look like poop compare with PC? ur wii bashing threads are getting sad fanboy :lol: go to doctor u have some kind of obsession with wii :lol:-wii60-

Xbox 360 and PS3 are way closer to the PC (I know PC is best). The Wii is not even close enough to see the tails of Xbox 360 and PS3. It's been left behind, last place in the race, like Danny DeVito runnng the Boston Marathon.

I notice the people who use that generic phrase "graphic whores," that most lazy of fetchwords, don't express themselves very well in the art of speech. Maybe that's why you use the same words, because you look at the same visuals over and over. No critical thought to lead to mental development. Just staring at the wall of sound and images and wholly accepting of whatever passes before the face. Ever read Fahrenheit 451? That's you.

You need new stimulation once in a while. This lends the mind new vigor.

The TC used fake screenshots to overemphasize his point. This conversation is moot.

Your ignorance is amazing. Capcom has absolutely nothing to do with No More Heroes. Grasshopper Manufacturer is a small time dev with very little backing. The fact that you compare NMH to DMC 4 which probably has a budget ten times that of NMH along with a dev team twice its size and with far more experience is just pathetic.

NMH is my most awaited game, but I have no problem admitting that Suda and Grasshopper are pretty poor on the technical side and that NMH is far from being a good expample of Wii's capabilities.

Again, until you respond to the fact that you purposefully used the worst available screenshots for NMH, against some of the best for DMC, your arguments are, frankly, pointless.

If you would have used real evidence, instead of testscreens from early development, your argument would hold water?

Do you claim that you did this accidently, and were ignorant, or did it on purpose and were coniving?

How can people not stand fun games? Eh well. Regardless looks will never make a game. Gameplay will always make a game. Maybe we should all just play Crysis and no other game at all.

Maybe we should never play old games ever again. Maybe consoles should not have B/C built in with them at all. Because who likes looking at crappy games right?

Blackbond

Mybe we should all go back and play NES games because to you obviuosily graphics don't matter. And DMC4 looks to have better gameplay than No more Heroes.

They only need to be used to a certain extent to provide a gameplay experience. If you can't enjoy a game merely because it doesn't look amazing then I pity you. As long as the games graphics aren't detrimental to the actual game itself then I could really care less about them. Gaming is about fun

First of all, you make the claim IGN used a low-resolution camera (lol) and an off-screen shot. Here is the link to the site of images. http://media.wii.ign.com/media/827/827358/imgs_1.html

Where does it tell me these things? Does that stop sheep from using IGN (they use it all the time) You're making more assumptions than me. I'm just posting what IGN posts.

And if this is Ubisoft, they are famous for posting Bullshots. Earlier batch of screens look sharp and almost "next-gen" in some spots. Then the actual game is released and we all notice it doesn't match up to the earlier shots.It has happened a lot with Ubisoft, so I wouldn't be surprised if it happens with No More Heroes. Ubisoft uses Bullshots on the cover of their games!

And if you want me to address something, how about you address something? Forget NMH. (I dont feel well looking at it a second longer) One game down. Where are the other amazing visuals on the Wii? Where do I point my head to, because I'm sure not seeing them. I'm looking for this Post-Xbox1 Renaissance of Wii visuals. I am waiting here to be astonished and floored. Yet, nota trickle has come in, no flood of developers or games to show in 2008.

Is the Wii keeping a big surprise for 2008? I think far-dreaming Romantics like to think so - it makes it sound like a rags-to-riches Rocky story. I dont care for an emotional lump in the throat. The facts are the Wii is lagging behind in hardware, enough that it has kept many games form their potential, and many owners have quietly lowered their standards to match whatever Nintendo gives them.So my right to critique hardware (be thankful I'm not criticizing a person, but a piece of plastic) is seen as an undesirable and shameful act. I guess you would rather we bash human beings instead of plastic electronic devices? You people call me obsessed (I am an ardent debater, fused with dainty doses of sarcasm and mockery), you are defending the Wii like it was a breathing person.

Maybe the person who suggested I see a doctor should make an appointment too!

you keep saying that, and I bet a majority of your favorite games could not be done without the upgraded hardware. Ocarina of Time would not be the same level of fun if it was all overhead and sprite-based like A Link To The Past. Metorid Prime gives a different feeling than Metroid on NES.

You think it's like a lightswitch between "Fun" and "No Fun"

How about this. Upgraded hardware can give "More Fun" without taking away the fun of classic games.Isn't that mindblowing? Or do people only think in strict binary here?

Bioshock with N64 graphics is not as fun as Bioshock with PC/360 graphics. Think about that for a moment I will give you some time.

I agree with you on that one. But to me Bioshock 2 was a bad game, maybe it was because I actually played System Shock 2, and felt like, gee this game is missing wayy to much stuff.

I haven't played SS2, but I've heard similar things and won't argue there.It accomplished the best it could during that time. But now about Bioshock -- would it be as terrifying and atmospheric on N64? For the few exceptions where a classic game trumps the current one (sequel, spiritual sequel, whatever you call it), there are just as many great examples of current games that far surpass the older games.. I know both sides have examples, but the fact that the current generation of games has so many great examples shows it's worth something. Half-Life 2 without its physics is a degraded experience. If you don't want to defend hardware I will.

Otherwise we'd follow what you want -- stick with Pentium 3 computers and stick with NES, SNES or N64 graphics well into 2050. Sorry to say, but my persistent embrace of the evolution of hardware makes a helluva lot more sense than sticking with the same hardware forever and constantly singing hymns to old games.

And I can't believe a painting example had to be mercilessly dragged into here. Picasso had the entire gamut of tools to express himself. He had all sorts of choices. He chose abstract, violent shapes to speak to the world. I would never say he was inferior to Caravaggio because I've seen Picasso's sketches. He could outdraw the common man and drew just as well as the 16th century painters. Paintings do not belong in a video game discussion. You're dirtying some names that should be left to their tranquil places. Please don't ever do that again.

The Wii or Xbox 360 did not reshape thinking like the art masters. As passionate as I may get about video games, I always remember it doesnt amount to much in comparison to the greater things in life. Don't wake the art lion in me!!!

Wow, how pathetic. You actually think those stupid pictures you posted are the best of the Wii's graphical capabilities? No, you know they're not. Therefore any critisisms on the graphics should go to the developers. Failed.

Maybe in terms of pure horsepower, but in terms of art direction, the only title that can compete with SMG is World of Warcraft IMO.

Jynxzor

I can name a multitude of games that have bettter "Art direction" Than SMG, Lumines, Okami to name a few.

Thats a couple. :D I kid I kid,anywhos...I want this game. The multiplayer looks fun,not sure about the single player though.

Nintendo may have made the wrong decision this gen. $50 more and you get HD graphics and real next-gen hardware inside.PhoebusFlows

You see this?

Ninja Gaiden Black [IGN]

or how about this?

Shadow of the Colossus [PS2]

Both are last gen games, Ninja Gaiden Black (first screen) doesn't even support progressive scan and it still looks nice. HD itself is a nice 'feature', it does indeed make everything look better; but you can still get your eye candy without it. ^_^

[QUOTE="Blackbond"]Graphics don't matter. You think I'm gonna play DMC4 for graphics? Nope. I'll be playing it for gameplay. Graphics are merely a thing that is just there to me. They only need to be used to a certain extent to provide a gameplay experience. If you can't enjoy a game merely because it doesn't look amazing then I pity you. As long as the games graphics aren't detrimental to the actual game itself then I could really care less about them. Gaming is about funPhoebusFlows

you keep saying that, and I bet a majority of your favorite games could not be done without the upgraded hardware. Ocarina of Time would not be the same level of fun if it was all overhead and sprite-based like A Link To The Past. Metorid Prime gives a different feeling than Metroid on NES.

You think it's like a lightswitch between "Fun" and "No Fun"

How about this. Upgraded hardware can give "More Fun" without taking away the fun of classic games.Isn't that mindblowing? Or do people only think in strict binary here?

Bioshock with N64 graphics is not as fun as Bioshock with PC/360 graphics. Think about that for a moment I will give you some time.

You're comparing 2D games to 3D games. :|

[QUOTE="Blackbond"]

How can people not stand fun games? Eh well. Regardless looks will never make a game. Gameplay will always make a game. Maybe we should all just play Crysis and no other game at all.

Maybe we should never play old games ever again. Maybe consoles should not have B/C built in with them at all. Because who likes looking at crappy games right?

azad_champ

Mybe we should all go back and play NES games because to you obviuosily graphics don't matter. And DMC4 looks to have better gameplay than No more Heroes.

Hey that's a great idea I just downloaded Super C for the vc and it's what hardcore gaming is all about, unlike that old chump in your avie. ;)

I'm guessing you didn't play video games until this generation then, right?

Oh wait... :o

This topic fails miserably for the 100% fact the images posted by IGN.com have been stretched from original size.

Who ever added the new media, doesn't know how to add correct sized images.

Here... these are true pics.

look different? no?

So you basically made a topic and found the worse pics you could? for what? attention? lol ;)

So who's winning this discussion so far? I am..

Enough yet? bow.

You know, it's funny. People said the same thing about Killer 7, and yet I still went out and picked that up. And you know what I found? A game that had a deeper story / meaning then almost any big budget game that came out that year.

Do people STILL not know what the saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover" means? Jebus.

Yes its pretty ugly. Why are people hyped for this game? The blood and plitting people in half? Gears of War did that already, so this game will flop.

Just kidding. Sort of.

Of course. Gameplay is superior to graphics.

That's why the Wii is doing so well, they're proving that point.

the wii isn't proving anything expect that hype >>> Quality. The only game which is amazing and done properly is SMG. Metroid Prime had great controls, but the game itself was uninspiring. Paper mario was dumbed down and Zelda:TP played better on the Gamecube.

Seriously, the 360 is by FAR the best console this generation. Offering great online, amazing gameplay and great graphics. The only problem the 360 has is that it's expensive, but for the wii to be any kind of fun you're probably going to have to pay just as much as the 360...

mostly for the gameplay and also for the awesome story. Mark my words, NMH will have the best story of any game this generation so far. Of course, I can never really prove that. But in my eyes it will be.
