[QUOTE="StealthSting"]

That falls exactly into the same line of generalizations I was talking about. The thought that Wii is a good console for first party support only, at this point is laughable at best and mosly used, do to what? Nintendos past? FoamingPanda

Do to the fact that Nintendo has radically altered and changed the consumer base with the Wii.  Traditional customers have undergone a reordering of value to rationalize their faith in an obsolete console that functions against their interests and demands.  New consumers, we call them "casuals," demand radically different products that function from the premise that a video is little more than a childish toy only capable of providing the most basic and immediate forms of pleasure (aka, welcome to family friendly hell).

Now that's a very discriminating argument.
Why a game that's not rated M or at least T is automatically a bad game?

First, it's too early to asume anything and second the library of the consoles 3rd party is growing with new titles announced almost every single day. The name Sould Calibur arrives on the Wii? Well that somehow must be a bad thing...... Hell if Snatcher was annouced for the console tomorrow(Wich many fans would find themselves more excited then one of the top 3rd party games for PS3) it would still, somehow, be a bad thing. Note that its not confirmed for the Wii or to even come out yet, I'm only just using it as an example.

3rd party devs need not invest time into meaningful games and franchises when the consumer base of Wii will purchase just about anything that is aggressively marketed correctly, sold by an ancient franchise label alone, or chalk full of cutesy and gimmicy value.

Even if a third party dev had an idea for a Wii, the inferior and feeble hardware of the console make it virtually impossible to exploit the full graphical, physical, and qualatative depth of our current gen of consoles.

Meaningful games? Games you like are meaningful to you, not to everyone.

Now, how come PS2 had games with depth and great artistic value with a inferior and feeble hardware last gen?

[QUOTE="Greyhound222"]Wait a second....... Metroid Prime 3:Supposed to be 60FPS,"Vastly better graphics than Halo 2". Halo 3:Don't think it's 60FPS(Not sure),only slightly better than Halo 2. If MP3 is even comparable to Halo 3,lemmings are severely owned.jim1029

Here's my reply... If you think that MP# is going to even be in the same universe as Halo 3 graphically, than you have clearly lost your fanboy mind. MP3 will be lucky if it can achieve 1st gen PS2 graphics due to the weak performance of the wii's graphics. Bottom line... I KNOW that Halo 3 is gonna look play and feel awesome... MP3 will look like garbage in comparison.

[QUOTE="colmusterd28"]I can't get in to or even buy the wii because the graphics are so bad... I know its the new cool thing to say graphics don't matter but guess what... they do. I just feel the need to stop being fake and tell the world. I enjoy my XBOX1 and those graphics were nice, now I want some more muscle not a downgrade in graphics and a flippy controller with poorly implimented functions. I'm not trying to hurt feelings... I just can't lie anymore.

I was thinking the same thing

Oh noez! Not HD = Not fun! Okay. The 6,000,000 of us that bought it can forget the fun we've had with it and we'll return them all post-haste. Thank you.

6,000,000 of you are still playing zelda? jeeze you'd think you'd beat it by now... where are the other good games with growing graphical detail? (crickets) mmm ok.

 

There? 

Why is it that when asked to show the good games on the Wii, people like yourself, show games that aren't even out on the Wii and it is normally the exact same 3 or 4 games over and over and over again?

Well if you say that, that means it will be comparable to PS1 titles. And, if TP looked far better then all early PS2 games, then why would Metroid be worse?

Your kidding with the metroid pic right? I've literally seen better pics than that come out of the N64... SSB and mario, mark my words will suffer greatly in the final version of the game... wii graphics are a joke.

who said TP looked better than all early PS2 titles?  I'm not sure about that... Metroid will look worse than TP IMO... It already does...

[QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"]These days I'm almost almost afraid to say that I very much enjoy graphics, and that they can make or break a game for me. The prevailing notion seems to be that you're a "graphics whore" if you put too much emphasis on graphical quality.colmusterd28

OK, so by your logic, if a game where all you did was poke an orange with a stick had the MOST REALISTIC graphics ever, it would automatically be the BEST GAME of ALL TIME?

Hooooboy,  that's some GREAT logic right there, Yesiree, best logic ever. :roll:

For me, it doesn't really matter how REALISTIC a game is, but the ARTISTIC CREATIVITY of the graphics and HOW FUN it is to play the game.

Sir, the the power of a console is NOT the sole determining factor to how good a game's graphics look. It is ALSO determined by how much EFFORT is being put into DESIGNING the graphics by the people MAKING the game!

He said he loves graphics, not that "realistic graphics == awesome game".  Last time I checked, repleacing someone's point with something else isn't a good way to argue.

He also said that he wasn't getting a wii for the sole reason that it doesn't have the same graphics capabilities as the 360 and PS3. And that's right after he said that he looks forward to next gen because of , not only better graphics, but also NEW IDEAS and BIGGER WORLDS. Any console can have new ideas and bigger worlds. If graphics aren't the only things that he looks forward to in next gen, as he said, then why is he so aggressively against the Wii? It's perfecly capable of introducing new ideas.

the truth about the wii is that:

it's a good console. but it can't impress us anymore, in any way except whatever involves the controller (gameplay-wise, but not entirely).

both ps3 and 360 can impress us gfx-wise, audio-wise and gameplay-wise (in whatever involves physics, size of maps, possibilities in the game, freedom of play, etc). they can't impress with the controllers too much, maybe the PS3 with the sixaxis controller, but yet, not as much as the wii. but i buy a new console to be impressed (yes, i bet that what most ppl wants from their new console is that WOW sensation), and both 360 and PS3 are great consoles for that... the wii is just good.

:lol: thats funny. Did anyone not buy a GBA because "its graphics are so bad" ?? Haziqonfire

Umm, some games that use it to it's full extent, such as Stuntman, are really impressive, graphically, almost as good as a PS1.  I've even seen a video showing MGS1 running on a GBA.

I agree.
