Mario Galaxy a technical achivement for last gen tech?

DOA is NOT realistic.

Both games are cartoon-ish, which is a good thing though.

Your a technical achievement for last gen tech.

Oh, we've got a clever one. :)

I was only going by the genre.

If I start bringing pics of N.G. or Riddick in here you gonna :cry:

Make sure you use bullshots of Ninja Gaiden and the PC version os Riddick like everyone else.

SMG > That

Of course since they are completely different art stiles (Unlike SMG and Conker) it's really up to opinion.

PS: If SMG turns out tb be a must have for me I will have to put principle aside (I said I would not pay more then 150.00 ) and go buy the Wii to enjoy the SMG greatness... if it lives up to the promise :)

You know, the more I watch these pics, the more I see they're just pretty. There's absolutely *nothing* technically great about them. Pretty colors, yes, but nothing to go "great graphics" about. I guess they tried to go for that though, since you can see the water doesn't even try to be transparent.

You really need to see tit motion to really appreciate the water effects of this game, they are awesome (and trasparent too lol).

I've seen it in motion, though not a vid with water. How can a picture selectively delete ALL transparency of the water...? It's bright blue, that's what they went for, and that's that.

IMO this is the best looking xbox game and puts the Wii to shame alone. Yes its the xbox version and thats what it looks like because I have the thing.

Nice job using a screenshot when it was still running on a modified GC.OregonTrailing

How can you honestly believe that!? People are actually putting pictures up on this thread that DESTROY the shots of SMG!

Also, way to find the worst possible picture of SMG.

I'll let someone else post the Queen Bee shot, Mole shot, Penguin shot, and Manta Ray shot to prove you wrong.

[QUOTE="Zerostatic0"]Why can't noobs comprehend that comparing the graphics of a fighting game or driving game to a platformer or action-adventure game is retarded?Yoshi_Hunter

WHat You Jsut said there is retarted. First people say u can't compare different genre games together, now you can't compare the graphics?!?!?!!? LMFAO URE THE NOOB ZYou can compare graphics ready? are you ready? here we go. Forza loosk better than NHL 07......OH NOEZ I COMPAED A PSORTS GAME TO A RACIGN GAME NOT ALLOWED GO AWAY!!!!!! seriously some people have no idea what they are talking about.

of corse u can compare graphics of games from different genre's,, its just that it would be an excercise in futility... Mario games aren't inteded to have photo realistic graphics.. whereas most fighters are

Mr_Apple_Soup

Of course you can compare cartoons to realistic games. Just two days ago in their review GS essentially said the new Ratchet and Clank was one of the best looking games on the PS3 (third to last paragraph of the review). If GS can compare across genres, I think we can too.

Well, when you compare against realistic and cartoony its really up to opinion. A better comparison is Cartoony Vs. Cartoony or Realistic Vs. Realistic.

Er, I guess this is just further proof that Mario is aimed at kids: They like them colors.

"Hey lets make the water transparent so when players are trying to ride around they don't know where the track they have to follow is!" "Yeah good idea!"

A lot of Wii screens look worse than they do in motion we have to wait to play the game.

WTF?

Wow, are the sheep completely delusional? Mario Galaxy may end up being a really fun game, but I don't think it looks that good at all. I'll be nice and give you the fur on the pink mole, but the features on the terrain are just very blocky, the tree's bark has no textures to speak of (just different shades of brown lines to say, "Hey, it's bark."), and the color pallette in all three photos is just awful.It's like one of the developers had one of those boxes of Crayola crayons with only 64 colors in it and said, "Boys, this is it." And don't even get me started on how "good" that haunted floating space castle looks. I don't see technical prowess or artistic direction here. Someone please put up some shots of the new Ratchet and Clank to show people what a modern platformer ought to look like. Or some pics of Kameo for that matter.magdalene1

Some people won't be happy until all games are reduced to looking exactly the same - either as close to photo realistic as possible, or as close an approximation of toy story as possible.

Choosing a reduced color palette is an artistic choice, a very common one in animated movies, even modern CGI animated movies. Go take a look at a picture from the incredibles and look at how the skin lacks texture as do the suits, and they certianly weren't lacking processing power.

so does this make you feel better about yourself... ? why such a weird topic..?

Galaxy look sgreat for a wii title.. and some how you can't stand that?... you're weird.

I hope you realize there is more to graphics then just initial looks. SMG has a much bigger world, is using bump/normal maps, shaders and fantastic particle effects. Yeah, it's completely fair to compare a fighter to a platformer with a huge environment :roll:

You know this little guy never listens b/c I told him no but he insisted to come in and say hi !

He coulda been a contender even in this gen I guess.

Notice him playing a DS just to rub it in :lol: j/k sorta

SecretPolice

Conker: Live and Reloaded is just Starfox Adventures with better textures.

It's good for Gamcube 2.0 but I'm tired of people saying it looks as good as a launch Xbox 360 game. not even close.PhoebusFlows

Go play it at Gamestop. You'll see soon enough.

Splinter Cell :CT > Mario Galaxy

alberth123123

It took a while for me to figure out what the problem was with the Splinter Cell pics, but I finally put my finger on it. The textures are incredibly bland and repetitive.

Also, I'd just like to point out that at first glance, Splinter Cell: CT > 95% of next gen games.

Edit: Looking at some more pics, I also noticed that many objects that look at first like 3D, such as bricks, are simply textures, while all the textures and shapes are very simplistic and boxy. There is also no variation in the backgrounds. They're very static.

Using the Incredibles, one of the best looking animated movies of all time, to try to convince me that SMG actually has good graphics just doesn't work.

looks better than kameo

Is that DOA shot even in-game?Tylendal

No.

If you think SMG looks worse than this....then your just simply letting you pure hate for the wii interfear with your eyesight.

Shinobishyguy

And your obvious bias makes your opinion any better?

You want to talk art s.tyles thats a different matter, Galaxy does have a more appealing art s.tyle. But thats not what this topic is getting at. On the technical level Wii is last gen and can actually be trumped by several xbox games in some cases.

*Its blocking 's.tyle' for some reason*

There's actually a very big difference between having a lot of detail and having good graphics.
o_o SC:CT is good in details but everything is just a rectangle, in my opinion.

I posted real screens of that splinter cell game.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say?Heil68

Me too.

Show me an xbox game that beats this...

who do some people not get that SMG looks so great because it has great graphics technically and artistically

the latter matters

that's why some people will think Okami and Wind Waker look better than some current-gen games (even i think this sometimes)

Dead or Alive Ultimate killed everything on PS2 and Gamecube and it was released in 2004. This game is the best looking last gen game imo. Better then Ninja Gaiden as well.
