Those are pretty good graphics for the Wii. I'm sure it will be optimised before it's released, what game is that?

not bad for Wii.

If a random game like this can do normal mapping I wonder what a big dev. team could come up with?

Have to agree with this guy, but it might just be the quality of the screenshots. I've always preferred cartoony graphics anyway.

Is that confirmed Wii? When I saw it on GoNintendo that didn't seem to be the case.

Terrible screenshots. However, in motion it probably looks between a late gen Xbox and first gen 360.... (Just a guess on how it looks playing and such, and this also is a guess on how far along the game it)

I guessed that was golden compass :D Didn't see the link, but a little girl and a polar bear wearing armour sort of gave it away. Probably not going to be a very good game. You never know though, they might pull it off.

Yeesh, after getting used the 360's graphics those look absolutely horrid. The original Prime looked better than that, even.

That being said, I know the Wii isn't about graphics so I have no idea why people keep making these threads. Wii games will look like last generation games, real Wii fans don't care. Graphics aren't the attraction of the system.

You do realize that its almost impossible to tell the difference between a bump map and a normal map from a single, non-animated screenshot. You cant tell whether thats how the bump map was carefully made of if its truly using the lighting and reflection from the normal map's directions.

So i ask, got anything to prove these are normal maps being used instead of bump maps?

that's what I mean... a series about killing an angel pretending to be god, and angels being evil? being picked up for a game? Really? really really?

Well it should. I mean Star Fox adventure for CG could do bump mapping and fur shaders. 3rd party Devs have just been lazy either by not creating or licensing development software that is beyond the technical ability of the PS2.
