Wii has good graphics, just not really comparable to the other consoles.

But I'm ok with that.

No, Wii's graphics will never reach the likes of Uncharted or Gears, because the hardware is limited. However Wii can still produce great visuals, examples are Super Mario Galaxy, Prime 3, Red Steel 2, etc. Its just that most developers don't care enough to push the hardware.

Since the Wii came out, the graphics have'nt been so good, and the 360/PS3's graphicshave looked better. I know gaming is not all about graphics, but is'nt it going to get boring of seeing the same graphics over and over again with no improvement?

In the future, the Wii could get improvements in graphics, and probably will, but will it ever be at the same scale with 360 and PS3 games? Or is the best graphics we can see in a Wii game is Super Mario Galaxy?

Will Wii's Graphics ever reach these?

I dont understand.

1) Where have you been the last 3 years? This belongs in 2006
2) Do you not understand that hardware limits graphical capability? The wii cannot magically put out 360 graphics.
3) Why would people get bored of graphics? The game as a package defines its appeal (people still watch color TV amiright?)

I think developers could do amazing things with the Wii.

Look at it this way it is more powerful then the Xbox in some ways.

They may even make games with Doom 3 like graphics, since it was done on the Xbox.

I have accepted the Wii is not to be considered an graphics powerhouse console, it's games were meant to be fun simple and appeal to it's intended target audience.

Metroid Prime M could have some pretty amazing graphics and great special efects I reckon.

Other then that I wll continue to enjoy the VC games, Wii Sports and games like super smash brothers brawl etc.

Nintendo should keep focusing on what they do to attract non-gamers into gaming, and I admit I still have a blast playing VC games from time to time.

I have a wii and ps3, and the ps3 doesn't get any play because
1 wii games actually make me laugh
2 i can almost get 2 wii games for the price of 1 ps3 game
3 the most interesting games on ps3 are downloadable titles but sony doesn't offer europe a payment method
4 the ps3 controls are horrid for FPS compared to my wii/pc and that is its main focus sadly

I admit that sometimes, just sometimes, i buy a game because i just want to be blown away by the visuals and stuff.
That's pretty cool. And i do want Heavy Rain and Brutal Legend so it will get more play.
But honestly, the graphics don't make the games one bit better, they actually seem to make the games worse because they turn out to be so 'normal'.
The usual, in a new coat. What i really dislike is when You just press a button and a whole action movie sequence takes over, or some other form of exegerated graphical showboating. It is so fake, and instead of being fun it is just made to impress. It completely blows the experience for me.

KungfuKitten

I'm like that too.

The big heavy hiter games I mostly attracted to the visuals and want to see what games today are capable of, and it's a bit of a blockbuster treat for me.

Though often times I still play arcade games because they seem fun, less stressful and can be enjoyed with the girl friend, family and others.

I have no doubt Nintendo could push the Wii to do amazing things for the appropriate titles and in creative ways then just photorealism.

Things like lighting, artistic touches, color placements, character expressions and things like that, not just brute power.

I have my PC for playing games like Crysis, Company of Heroes and stuff, and the Wii is on the other end of the spectrum.

Maybe when they release a Wii HD, but at this point I'm not too concerned.

yes we will see improvements, just like launch ps2 games to god of war and early gamecube games to resident evil 4. we might even see games that come close to launch titles like perfect dark zero, but it will never reach 360 graphics. it just doesn't have the hardware capabilities.

I'd say SMG has proven that the wii is stronger than the xbox

Indeed but in a third part sense VERY few games even look up to top X-Box standard. It's the Nintendo games which look bearable, most of the rest looks like ass.

I think Blade Runner still looks better than 95% of movies Hollywood craps out today. Hell, it looks better than any recent Ridly Scott film (same director), and they were filmed with extremely dated equipment and "rudimentary" technics by todays standards.

Its all about the talent.

^ its a 1982 movie

I just watched that the other day.

I love it when they use CRTs in movies that are set in the future.

Putting the Naughty Dog and Unreal engines side to side... that's pretty insulting.

I think people are wasting the 360 and PS3's potential to create beautiful fantasy worlds. You can see how extremely nice-looking SMG is, and it's just on the Wii. Imagine graphics in the unrealistic sense driven to their realistic maximum? The only company I can name so far that's actually doing this is Rare. Kameo looked good for a launch game, but Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts had EXTREMELY good graphics, and they weren't in the least bit realistic! So much wasted potential going on with the big systems, I only wish the Wii had as good of graphics as they did.

[QUOTE="NBSRDan"]Not quite sure about Uncharted, but among the two examples, Wii graphics have certainly already surpassed those of Gears of War. [Image of Super Smash Bros. Brawl] Besides, it's not exactly logical to debate such a thing. Saying that Wii has ugly graphics is like saying that (analogy) Stratocasters have fragile strings. A game will have whatever appearance the particular developer wants it to.Communistsheep

Wii does have ugly graphics, there is not questioning this, you know there is something wrong with wii graphics when it can be compared to last gen graphics. And how does SSBB outdo this?

[Image of Gears of War]

Well, if your complaint with Wii graphics are that they "can be compared to last gen graphics", then there must be "something wrong" with every current-gen' system. Not only are they reasonably comparable, but I have seen no current-gen' game that surpasses Halo, for example, graphically. Super Smash Bros. Brawl outdoes Gears of War graphically in two general ways: 1) It has a reasonable and consistent level of contrast. 2) It has colors.

Isn't that like saying,

"I have added 1+1 and I keep on geting 2. There just doesn't seem to be any progression in this. Will 1+1 ever equal 9?"

The answer to both questions is NO!
