Heavenly Sword:

Super Mario Galaxy:

Is it just me or is Mario easier on the eyes, in terms of lighting and smoothness?

Lol, kiinda funny.  The ps3 games will probably look better just because of the machine (which is freakin $600, and for a blue player, come on, i don't use hd hardly!!!), but if Mario galaxy and Super Paper Mario look Real great then Nintendo will get many standing ovations.

Just throwing this out there, but what is up with the hair in Heavenly Sword?  It looks like crap.

I agree with you...Heavenl Sword has a lot of bloom effects, Mario is simplistic and easy to the eye:)

In terms of realism, Heavenly Sword is quite nice. Although a bit on the shiny side. In terms of art style and "personality," Super Mario Galaxy (in my opinion) is way better. Personally, I prefer Super Mario Galaxy's graphics over Heavenly Sword's.

You do realize you took the worst pics from Heavenly Sword.

Of course you do, it's the point of the topic.

Wow, Heavenly Sword graphics does suck honestly. Congrat to the Nintendo Wii for having their first upcoming game that is graphically superior to a upcoming Sony PS3 game. There's no use though comparing Wii to the graphical jaggernauts that is the Microsoft PC or Microsoft Xbox360.

But thats its art style. Mario games go for a simplistic look on purpose, they're not going for amazingl detail... can't we all just agree that both look good?

Mario IS easier on the eyes, because Heavenly Sword uses that wierd "next-gen vasaline sheen" in order to make itself look shiny, whilst mario has a funky art style and is set in such a cool place.

They both look really good in there own way. I don't think either looks worse to be honest. They just have different styles.

Well, considering how they tried to make everything look as realistic as possible, it looks very strange.

UssjTrunks

I took the latest ones actually.

Checking Gamespot... not the latest ones.

Checking Google... I find a whole bunch of cool concept art that doesn't matter.

Checking IGN... those are indeed the latest images.

Though, they're still certainly not the best.

EDIT:: Not video I was looking for.  That one person has it .gif'd in his signature, though.  I can't find it.

Still, sorry for implying that you were a fanboy.  My bad.

Heavenly Sword is certainly technically superior but I really like Mario's artstyle a lot moe. Thai said, both games look much better in motion, so I don't think screens will do them justice.

They both look great even though they are both different in style and art direction. And i agree with you, SMG is easier on the eyes, maybe because the camera is more panned out,' though the roundness in SMG is really nice.

I think its because its has that cartoony colorfulness. I think cartoons are always easier on the eyes because it doesnt have to be realsitic.

And Also, I've seen better gameplay shots than those pics for heavenly sword

March 6, 2007 sounds pretty recent to me. But feel free to use those pics for comparison too, doesn't change anything.

Detail vs. shiny low detail (Nintendo games). Mario looks easy to do on any system. Teh plain face reminds me of their Pokemon Wii game. Super shiny to cover/smooth out the uglyness you see in both Mario/Pokemon.

from those pictures it seems like that marioG looks better graphically and artistically. HS just looks like a last gen game with lots of bloom, but i know that those are not the best shots of HS.

Plus you took pics from there build that was less than 35% done. Good job. I could go compare say HL2 looks better than halo3 right now. But its still in alpha stages. Atleast post good pictures and not the worst ones possible.

Mario Galaxy looks great. Wish I had a Wii to play it on... but I am sure Heavenly Sword will suit me well. I will wait for the score, but hopefully it will deliver.

Ah yes. Apparently the physics of tdoing thousands of hair particles would be impossible (That is True) so they made the hair clump together to make it move realisticly while still preserving enough power to do other stuff. From a gameplay view, it looks fine.

Even though Heavenly Sword will look better in the end, Mario Galaxy is just more visually appealing to me.

I have no problem from gameplay view because I don't pay much attention to the character's hair ect. It's just these pictures.

Those heavenly sword pics look like High-end Xbox pics if you ask me. But thats not even a fair comparison since they both are using different graphic style.......

Those pics were added March 6th, 2007 on IGN, so they're fairly recent. Even the other ones posted in this thread look the same when not caught in a blurred shot.

i was expecting the opposite. i thought someone was here to bash the wii's graphical limit.
