The Wii has more power than you think

Nothing on Wii has beaten Rebel Strike III for Gamecube (except maybe Galaxy, but it's hard to compare):

This is how I know that developers are not trying on Wii. Until the vast majority of games start looking better than this, then I will know that they are trying. :|

Gamecube --------------------------------- STAR WARS -------------------------------- 360

For God's sake....WE ALL KNOW that the Wii is weaker than the ps3/360 and that the ps3/360 has better graphics. We're just clarifying that the Wii is strong IN ITS OWN WAY, can produce great graphics and is stronger than all last gen consoles. Period.Pices

If by "own way" you mean creative art styles like in Mad World, then yes. But as far as technical graphics goes... the Wii is a lost cause. Games like SMG and Conduit look cool in a simple kind of way, but the Wii just can't even come close to coming close to looking like the 360... especially the PS3... and let's just leave the PC out.

this is waht factor 5 were talking about, this was a gamecube game

and it looks a helluva lot better than i think every wii game

it uses normal mapping, real time reflections, real time shadows (and self shadows), upwards of 100 enemies on screen at once with individual ai and lighting among other effects including very good bloom

.

the wii is well known to be more than twice as powerful as the wii (it's actually about 10 times as powerful i think) so imagine what factor5 would be able to produce on wii

also, remember, this game supported split screen co-op,

food for thought

Article is from: Monday, July 30, 2007 So is this a "just wait" sort of point? Certainly that's what the video was saying. "The Wii just needs to be unlocked." lol People said that about the PS3 and got flamed for it. But it's ok to say that about the Wii huh? :roll:RotaryRX7

The difference between the PS3 and the Wii is that the PS3 didn't have a justifiable lineup until last year because almost all of the must have titles released then. The Wii's problem is that barely any devs took it seriously at first. Then because of how well the system sold, the lineup became 90% shovelware cash-ins that probably took a couple months to make at best. There's an obvious difference between Galaxy and Bratz Action Racers. It's just a matter of the 3rd parties wanting to go more towards the Galaxy end of the spectrum.

I refuse to believe the crap about Wii is a powerful but under-utilised machine until the games are released that back those statements up.

Before anyone shows me SMG or MP3, don't bother, those games are good artistically but not breathtaking graphically. They look like Xbox 1 level games, (although Riddick and Doom 3 still look better).

Bu, bu, bu, bu, the Wii is like theoretically 20 twelve times more powerful than Gamecube. Whatever.:roll:

Well, we gave proof and facts and we expect 2 things from people like you. (1) Finally get your logic circuits on and stop bashing the Wii (2) Continue being ignorant and stubborn while making a fool of yourself on the Internet. MP3 and SMG look like XBOX 1 games? Well, unfortunately the XBOX can't handle those. Just wait til the Conduit gets released to get your unbelief about the Wii not being powerful and under-utilised console.Pices

The Xbox couldn't handle SMG or MP3... HAHAHAH! Have you ever taken a look at Riddick or Doom 3. SMG excels artistically, not technically. Fact is people like you have failed time and time again to provide the evidence that the Wii really is more powerful than the Xbox 1 and yet constantly fail. I've seen nothing on the Wii that couldn't be done on the Xbox 1, nothing. And that's a sad shame.

You haven't given any proof, you linked to a youtube video posted by a fanboy, and then posted comments made years ago by Factor 5, yet all I ask for is the games, SHOW ME THE GAMES!!!, Show me the money!!! Show me the GAMES!!

Most people should know by now that Wii's hardware isn't being used to its full potential. The vast majority of the games in Wii's library look like garbage(M&Ms Cart Racing anyone?). Then, you have games like Mario Galaxy(60fps), SSBB, Madworld, Metroid(60fps), and a handful of others that look years ahead of the rest. Would I say it's capable of full "Next Gen" visuals? No, of course not, but I'm certain Wii can do more than what most devs are making right now.YearoftheSnake5

This about sums it up quite nicely.

Wiis graphics look last gen, can't we all just leave it at that.Adrian_Cloud

[QUOTE="Pices"][QUOTE="Hoobinator"] Because making a video of spurious fanboy claims, is a lot more authentic and credible than making a spurious blog.manicfoot

[QUOTE="manicfoot"][QUOTE="Pices"] Ok, lets see. I know that video poster , he owns and loves all 3 consoles and says that the PS3 is the best system. Does that sound like a fanboy to you? NO, as a matter of fact, you go ahead and ask him. The Wii is stronger than the XBOX, The XBOX used a Pendium 3 Processor while the Wii used a PowerCustom PC series, the Powerpc is little more than 3 times stronger than the Pendium 3. I'm yet to wait an intelligent comment from you and other bashers. Go check in Wikipedia or something, I'm not going to do your homework.Pices

[QUOTE="Pices"][QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"]Wiis graphics look last gen, can't we all just leave it at that.Adrian_Cloud

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"][QUOTE="Pices"] No, we won't because it is NOT last-gen. You fail to bring proof and evidence. The wii is a next-gen , its stronger than the strongest last-gen console (XBOX). Look at The Conduit, that resembled a 360 game. People, just stop playing dumb and be sensible for once.Pices

[QUOTE="Pices"][QUOTE="manicfoot"]
Just comparing processors isn't going to give you a clear picture. What makes games look good to us this gen? Shaders. Wii can do them using TEV but it uses a lot of system resources and developers have to write the shaders from scratch. With the original Xbox it was as easy as fllicking a switch. Once developers work out how to use TEV efficiently Wii games will look a lot better.Adrian_Cloud

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"][QUOTE="Pices"] That was the second thing I'm trying to get them to understand. The Conduit, SMG and MP 3 are examples of great graphics on the Wii, and you'll expect more in the future. It's the developer's fault if the Wii has bad graphics, example : HVS made amazing graphics for the conduit using the Quantum 3 engine. The Wii was able to run on the COD 4 engine and made great visuals on WaW (yes, it could've been better).Pices

[QUOTE="Pices"][QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"] Okami looks better than the conduit, and so does Madworld. Stop with this man, the conduit is mehAdrian_Cloud

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"][QUOTE="Pices"] Then I think its safe to say that Halo looks meh, right?angelkimne

I have absolutely no problem with the Wii's current specs. I mean I'm currently playing my GC.

The problem is not many devs will actually take advantage of the Wii Hardware. And neither does the vast majority of casual Wii gamers care.

"the wii can't amaze me because it's locked at 480p resolution. nothing looks good at that resolution. crysis at that resolution looks like n64 graphics."

Television and DVDs look fine at SD resolution. If Crysis looks bad at SD it means the game doesn't use the pixels to its optimal capability. Don't blame the resolution when the fault is the GAME.

Here's Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles:

Here's Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles:

Wii has next gen graphics CONFIRMED.

Wii is almost 4years old and it has ZERO games that looks better than Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and most of games looks like ps2 ports so it had more power than what *we* think it will be already proven.Syferonik

What? this:

Wii has next gen graphics CONFIRMED.Infinity8378

You mean this??????^

Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles definetelylooks better than Silent Hill 3
