This is NOT next-gen

I sorry, I really don't think Nintendo had graphic whores in mind when developing the Wii. This is a console that is trying to get the family and girlfriend/wife interested in gaming, and to make it fun.

Personally, I am a graphic whore and have no interest in buy the Wii yet. But after hearing from people the use the Wii, I have to say I am getting interested.

Video games are for entertainment, and if the Wii keeps you entertained, then it is an success.

As for the original question of being next-gen, if your a graphics whore, of course not. But if you look at it from an interactive aspect, of course it is next gen.

Don't think for one second that the XBox 720 or PS4 will not incorperate the Wii controller, they will.

[QUOTE="mvent2"]To elaborate, those games don't use the Wii's capability's to the fullest. I could pull up PD0 screens and say the 360 is an Xbox 1.5. But then a lemming will bring up Gears. Why? Because Gears fully utilises the 360 whereas PD0 doesn't. Just like how no game made so far maxes out the Wii.spyrosklaou

What's it like to be ignorant? I'm really interested.

If Nintendo doesn't care at all about graphics, they should have just released a wiimote for Gamecube. Same thing basically.briand07

You make sense to me, I will not argue that point.  But obviously nerdy gamers that post on a gamers forum, including myself, are going to be the most part die hard gamers.

My dad still plays games on an old 800mhz computer and has fun.  The reason why I say this, is even if the graphics don't meet 360/PS3 standards, they still look good enough to get the casual gamers the graphics they need.  And most casual gamers just want fun, and if they can get it with the wiimote, all power to them.  I am sure casual gamers care little for side by side graphic comparisions of how their game rates, or really would be exposed to side by side graphic comparisions.  Causual gamers don't hunt on the internet for ratings of games, they hunt in Wal Mart waiting for the next version of Zelda.

And personally, I would rather play a game thats fun to play then a game that's not fun to play but has killer graphics.  But as I said, I have a 360 and love it on my HD monitor, but have to admitt that the Wii with it's lack luster graphics does look fun to play.

Hold on folks, to clarify, they will have a feature that can utilize an optional controller like the Wii remote and can easily incorporate a 2nd analog stick.

Motion control is a very logical step for future consoles.  All games might not use it, but to say they won't have it doesn't make any sense.  This (Wii Remote) is obviously tring to capture a new experience to gaming consoles, and also capture people who don't usually play video games, it would be finacially suicide not to tap into that market next gen.

Aren't there more screens from those games? :| It seems every single argument against the Wii uses those precise screens. :| I wonder why. :roll:mvent2

This is not next-gen.

It is a collection of exceptionally poor screenshots from rushed ports. Please do not use the lowest common denominator to represent a system, it is like using Hitler as an envoy for humanity.

This is going to be the last time I post in a wii graphix are bad, "posts bad pic here" thread. Its gone over the top, once a day I could manage with but seriously there are like over 20 of these threads a day. Find another area to bash so there is actually a reason to argue.

Come on, I know you can try harder :P (and that last sentence is not an excuse to say the overused statement, "the wii is not worth the effort"

[QUOTE="Harbadakus"]That first pic is a real Wii game!? looks like a racer from the mid 90'sshsonline

I don't understand how it is being a graphics whore. I mean seriously, since there are awfully many of those here, why can't you answer my little question.

How is it to know that you miss out a great game like Zelda TP because it has "not-up-to-par" graphics?

 Don't you feel kinda stupid when missing such great titles, or are you so blinded by fanboyism that you don't think any game on the Wii is fun?

That SC: DA pic is hilarious.

Let's see, the wii is after last gen, so it would be considered "next" gen.Nameless3

Wow Nintendo,WTF!! were you thinking when you decided to make the Wii?The Wii-mote sounds innovattive and all that but you could have tried a bit harder with the hardware.And to think you the only console maker who's actually making a profit on every console you sell. i'm sorry but I'm a graphics whore,I'll get my PC a nice new graphics instead of a Wii I think. And for all of you who say graphics dont matter go and play Gears of War on a hi def tv,the graphics play a big part in making the game immersive and setting the atmosphere.gsx1100

Agreed! the graphics did really make Gears of war because without them you would realise what a boring and repetitive game this is much quicker!

I own and play Gears of War on a HDTV and after the second checkpoint the whole graphics thing sort of wears off. The Wii on the other hand is about as much fun as one can have while playing videogames gasp even without the UBER graphics!

That first pic is a real Wii game!? looks like a racer from the mid 90'sHarbadakus

it is a port of a three year old japan only cube racing game.  why ubisoft dug it up and put it out is beyond me.  other than to cash in on some release hype money.

[QUOTE="Nameless3"]Let's see, the wii is after last gen, so it would be considered "next" gen._AsasN_

I REALLY LOVE HOW SHEEP DAMAGE control,no its not teh next gen its he NEW gen,graphics dont make the game,teh gameplay makes the game,teh innovation,but ................

WHY COULDNT NINTENDO DO BOTH? :o

oh wait cuz all they care is making the same crap console over and over and slap one new thing and call it innovation,as long as they sell off brand name. :?TheWiikestLink

Comments?
