[QUOTE="PrinceofSarcasm"]The wii is almost = in power to the original xbox. It can still be pushed (as right now alot of ps2 games look better) but it will never match real current gen consolessonic_spark

The Gamecube was on part with Xbox. It provided a faster CPU whereas the Xbox had a more powerful GPU and supported DirectX.

Now, some of the best looking games were on the Gamecube, Resident Evil 4 is a definite example.

The Wii is touted to be twice as powerful as the Gamecube, we've yet to really see it. Whereas Metroid Prime 3 pushes more particle effects, more detailed characters and environments, the game is artistacly beautiful. However, from a technical standpoint, its far from what the Wii could push.

Mario Galaxy is a lot more of what Wii owners should expect. A great physics engine, beautiful environments from both a technical and artistic standpoint.

My bet, is that the Wii Zelda, will show exactly how powerful the Wii is. By the time that game comes out, it will have been in development for 3 years (at least the engine).

But any dev could push the Wii, if they stopped trying to go for quick cash hogs instead.

The xbox is more powerful than the wii. Proof? games.

That's a nice bare mountain top with some good lighting effects. Now put 30 guys on that mountain and blow some **** up, then we'll see how that engine fairs against PS3 or 360.

[QUOTE="MacaroniMoses"]Too bad the Wii doesn't have real power to show...GinoNYC


The thing is, the XBox still has a better GPU. And even if somehow the Wii could produce better graphics than the XBox, the devs won't bother. No Wii game looks as good as games like Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory; this is because devs know the Wii casual audience has low standards for graphics, so their trashy games will still sell well even if they have terrible graphics. Devs pushed the XBox hardware in 2004 and 2005, and they even pushed PS2 with games like Shadow Of The Colossus, God Of War, and FF XII. But no dev will bother pushing the Wii hardware to those levels, because I like I said, it would be a waste of time and money since they can put out games with crappy graphics and they'll sell anyway. So that's why, imo, Wii games don't even meet up to 2005 graphics standards.

I mean...



Eww..

at first I thought you were saying that was Chaos theory on Xbox and I thought what? It looked way better than that, then I realized that was wii graphics. I didn't realize how bad they were.

Does the Wii have HD outputs?

savagetwinkie



It can do 480p which is know to be HD.

no its progressive scan, basicly instead of drawing odd number lines then even(interlaced), it draws them all, but it is not hd... HD is the resolution 720i/p are both hd, and 1080i/p same deal

wouldnt 720i technically be ED because its only drawing half the lines at a time?

Eww..

Thanks for showing a screenshot of a lazy December 06 port to Wii. Yes it looks bad but it's like not like any said it looked good or is the best looking Wii game, no, one one ever said that so how about showing something that wasn't just a cheap PS2 port from 2 years ago? Also I'm not saying the can produce anything near the 360/PS3 I'm just saying Wii can produce and HAS produced lots of games that look better than that.

As much as you guys want to deny it, the Wii IS more powerful than a last gen console. It's just that few developers bother to use it because the majority of the userbase of the Wii doesn't care about graphics because it's their first gen of gaming.

Factor 5, the guys who did that graphical demo, did the Star Wars launch title for the Gamecube.

Here's how it looks.

The hidden power of the Wii. Locked potential. Waggle 3.0 with Nunchuku. 3.5-D and hardcore games. Just wait, one day the world will fear the Wii once it goes SSJ Wii in 2009.DennisHopperz

Resi evil 4 puts all ps2 games to shame and most xbox games too. Please try to be realistic or atleast hide your blatant fanboyism.

The Wii not showing its true power is some of the reason I don't care for the Wii and the reason I'm still playing GC games.

Youtubes quality doesnt do Rogue Leader justice.

Developers should really go for anime/toon visuals on the Wii imagine Dead Space done in the style of the feature film Dead Space Downfall, or Dead rising in cel shading similar to early build of the game seen in the initial screenshots. Realistic ones are fine but developers could experiment more.

Xbox had been out for 6 years when it was being maxed out. Super Mario Galaxy (Running at 60 FPS) looks better than anything on Xbox anyway and the graphics on the Wii will improve a lot. By the end of it's lifetime, Wii's graphics will put Xbox to shame, it is inevitable.

Resi 4 on the ps2 looks like garbage compared to the cube version. Don't hide behind that, Unless you can show us xbox games that look anything beyond marginally better than resi 4, don't waste our time with your nonsense.

Ya it is SLIGHTLY more powerful than the original xbox that is now over 7 years old :lol: that sure as heck aint saying alot buddy. The PS3 and 360 leave the Wii in the dust when it comes to POWER:twisted:
