Lemmings before: "bu bu teh wii is ok but i wanna get teh graphics and teh gameplay!!!111"

HALO 3

HALO 2

Lemmings after: "halo 3 looks fantastic what are u talking about!1!!!!"

So much for teh power, teh next gen and teh halo 3 will be the best game ever because it will have the graphics. Just like you lemmings we are playing last gen games with a new controller...oh wait no you still have a last gen controller.

Oh please... you can't tell me that's not a good looking WII game... a console that is not all about graphics.

But seriously, this topic is made of phail.

How is the Wii's controller anymore "NEXT GEN" Then the 360s or PS3s? It might be different, but it does not make their controllers "last gen".

Also, i dont like halo much but.. that was.. unecessary.

    At least its HD!

    Seriously, you used two publicity shots and a poor screenshot that has been mangled with compression and resizing. Not exactly fair.

    I own and like the Wii just like you do, but you cannot be serious if you are trying to say the Wiis graphical assets are on par with the 360s. It is like the PS2 fans last gen saying that their games looked as good as the Gamecube or Xbox. Sure, there are some games that will look great, but by and large, the majority of 360 titles will look better than the majority of Wii titles.

That wasnt my point. I mean sheep get constantly bashed because of the ps2 ports that look like crap. Then we have games like SMG, SSBB, MP3 which all look great but even with those games the Wii still gets bashed. Now lemmings are looking at Halo 3 screenshots and seriously think it looks impressive when there is almost no difference with Halo 2.

"teh slim GC with new controller"

Yeah right.

And then some lemmings who realise that halo 3 looks just like halo 2 say "well its just one game" or "its teh beta"

This is Halo 3 people.

As a sheep, I'll tell you that the PS2 to GC or Xbox comparison is a lot closer than Wii to 360.

There you go. Modified gamecube heh? You should look at ur HD version of Halo 2 "that is supposed to show what the 360 is capable of" before talking.

Wii's graphics are comparible to GC's for a reason... to make it cheaper, thus making it an easier buy for casuals.

If Wii had the remote but next gen graphics and it was $600... it would not be winning.

    And my point is that if you watch the beta footage in HD, and then play Halo 2, you will immediately notice a difference. Halo 2, while nice at the time, has horrible graphical flaws and "cheater" textures in place.

It's basically revenge for all the crap we've been getting about Wii graphics. -.-

One of the most anticipated games doesn't have the best graphics around... someone is going to jump on it. That includes us that get beat down everyday for the same reasons. -.-

Actually I'd probably say it has GameCube hardware because Nintendo wanted to make it profitable.  Even if they'd wanted to keep it at $250, they could have put in a better GPU and some more memory and taken a loss just like MS and Sony.

Microsoft and Sony are huge corparations with many divisions. Nintendo is just gaming. They have to make a profit on it... it's their only choice.

Hir0,  Ithink I know where ur coming from, and I agree.  Halo 3, while its going to be a great game, is also going to be basically the same except for a couple minor improvements, and better graphics.  Sheep, on the other hand, reap in the benefits of completely revoultionized sequels and reworked everything.

    Please listen to this, from a huge Halo fan....

    HALO HAS NEVER HAD THE BEST GRAPHICS OF ITS TIME. It has always had a non-photorealistic art direction, with exagerated models and colors.

    It is more about gameplay than graphics with Halo. Period.

Atleast pick a good Halo 3 beta shot if your gonna pick one at all. 

 

Anyway as a Wii owner I do wish the Wii had the power of the PS3 and 360, it would make the games so much more better with the next gen graphics, animations, physics, characters on screen, ect.   Though without the power the wii is still a good console.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't costt $250 if they did.

I may be wrong, but doesn't it cost about $200 to make then add Wii Sports and sell it at a profit?

Microsoft and Sony are huge corparations with many divisions. Nintendo is just gaming. They have to make a profit on it... it's their only choice.

Nintendo is also raking in money faster then they can count from just Pokemon alone, I'm sure they can afford to take a hit for the first 12 months or so.  I mean neither of us could prove it since we don't actually know how much money they have, but when I look at the sales charts I'd be skeptical as to why they would "need" to make a profit on the console itself.

[QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"]I never thought I'd see the day where a Wii fan has a negative comment to make about 360 graphics. The hypocrisy is immeasurable. SpruceCaboose

It's basically revenge for all the crap we've been getting about Wii graphics. -.-

One of the most anticipated games doesn't have the best graphics around... someone is going to jump on it. That includes us that get beat down everyday for the same reasons. -.-

Please listen to this, from a huge Halo fan....

HALO HAS NEVER HAD THE BEST GRAPHICS OF ITS TIME. It has always had a non-photorealistic art direction, with exagerated models and colors.

It is more about gameplay than graphics with Halo. Period.

Graphics still played a big part. That was last gen... everyone was waiting to see amazing graphics for Halo 3... there is no denying that. Now that they aren't here... it's "damage control" or whatever you call it here. But, I agree that MULTIPLAYER was a huge aspect on it, and that qualifies as gameplay. I like Halo, I'm not a huge fan, but I play it with my friends every now and then. It's a great game, but... I think it's overrated. But I respect the game and its fans.

[QUOTE="themyth01"] It'd be nice if any Wii game could have half of Halo 3's graphics but it won't happen, maybe Wii 2. Hir0_N

SMG already looks better than Halo 3(halo 2 HD) and "its not even finished yet".

Neither of them are finished, and they're vastly different in every possible way.

So I'm not sure about that.

Wii's graphics are comparible to GC's for a reason... to make it cheaper, thus making it an easier buy for casuals.

If Wii had the remote but next gen graphics and it was $600... it would not be winning.

Actually I'd probably say it has GameCube hardware because Nintendo wanted to make it profitable. Even if they'd wanted to keep it at $250, they could have put in a better GPU and some more memory and taken a loss just like MS and Sony.

they couldve doubled the graphics power and still made a profit at 250.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't costt $250 if they did.

I may be wrong, but doesn't it cost about $200 to make then add Wii Sports and sell it at a profit?

There's absolutely no way it could cost them $200 to make.  They sold the GameCube for $200, and there's only been marginal improvements to the hardware since then.

Nintendo will never take a loss on a console.

Microsoft and Sony are huge corparations with many divisions. Nintendo is just gaming. They have to make a profit on it... it's their only choice.

Nintendo is also raking in money faster then they can count from just Pokemon alone, I'm sure they can afford to take a hit for the first 12 months or so.  I mean neither of us could prove it since we don't actually know how much money they have, but when I look at the sales charts I'd be skeptical as to why they would "need" to make a profit on the console itself. 

Nintendo didnt know if the Wii was going to fail or not. So they didnt take any risk.

That is true. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that next gen they won't make near as much of a profit. They are certainly raking in the dough and I hope Nintendo actually uses it in benefit for the gamers in some way.

    As a Halo fan, I am waiting for online play, and online Co-op. As long as it looks better than Halo 2, I am fine with it. And, yes, it looks quite a bit better than Halo 2.

There's not denying that. As I said, most of the people jumping on these threads are over zealous cows and sheep looking to bash the most anticipated game this gen. The graphics could have been amazing and of course we still would have found something to pick at. As long as Halo can deliver in the online portion, it will be amazing and fans will love it... bottom line.
