In theory what can the Wii handle?

[QUOTE="UnamedThing"][QUOTE="princeofshapeir"]

Brawl and Galaxy say "Hi".

The Conduit says hi too.

The conduit looks like garbage.

[QUOTE="MetroidJunkie"][QUOTE="UnamedThing"] Galaxy, maybe. I don't think SSBB is that good looking.ActicEdge

The Conduit says hi too.

The conduit looks like garbage.

So, by that logic, many run of the mill Ps3/360 shooters also look like garbage. Wait, you DID see enough of The Conduit before forming an opinion, right?

Yes thats exactly what I mean. I have watched so many conduit videos its funny. It looks like garbage. I applaude high voltage for stepping up when none of the big companies wiould and I want the game to be great but right now it looks like garbage. I'm sorry but I will not defend it in its current state.

[QUOTE="Popadophalis"]I think we will truly be able to see what the Wii is capable of when Factor 5 releases their new Wii game. They have a strong history of getting the most out of the Wii's hardware.Popadophalis

Wii just really isn't going to see any games looking better than last gen. Even though the hardware is like an overclocked Gamecube with more ram there's no incentive to push the hardware further since that still takes lots of effort and the game will still look like ass compared to anything on PS3/360.

I completely disagree. Julian Eggebrecht ( Head honcho at Factor Five) has stated that the Wii is well over 2x more powerful than the gc and that they are really going to push the console as far as it can go with their upcoming game. Of course there's incentive to max out the hardware as it is just like any other console. Nintendo really pushed the graphics on SMG and SSBB and those games both turned out much better for it and are in no-way "ass compared to anything on 360/PS3."

Lair was a bad game there's no denying that, however their track record on Nintendo consoles has always been good plus they will undoubtedly have learnt alot from their mistakes in Lair so I'm optimistic as to how their next game will turn out. You should be too :D

The Wii is a powerfull last gen machine. It's a little bit more powerfull than the first Xbox, though I'm not sure the GPU is as good since it does'nt have a 720p output. But as long as the games only can output 480p, all that power is useless anyways. The PS2 and Gamecube was enough for those kind of graphics.

Though I'm sure the Wii can do a lot better than it does visually, we also have to remember that the last Nintendo consoles have been a little pain to develop games for. Epic for example, have said that the Unreal engine 3 is'nt made for use with the Wii because of the lack of power. So that means developing own engines, or doing it the easy way, using the game engines from last gen. Unless the Wii can suddenly output 720p, we won't see a leap in graphics.
