Quake 3 because of better level design.

I guess thats good graphics for the wii, but wow, that looks pretty bad compared to anything on any modern system or pc.

As i said. level design does count in how a game looks.

In those pictures it's actually very close. However, i know the Conduit will look better overall. Although, i doubt it will play half as well.

Who cares? Quake 3 is the better game (probably)

You could run quake 3 with wii-equivalent computer hardware and see no jaggies, so quake 3 wins.

Why are you even compairing Wii graphics with PC games(even if the game is old) Wiis graphical abilities should be compared to the PSP because they are pretty much equal.

The Wii is far more powerful then the PSP ...

Maby on paper but look at graphics comparisons. They are pretty much on par. Maby that motion controlling is taking up all the recources/power?

Timedemo demo001 @ about 32 FPS entirely on Intel Core 2 Duo T7500. Swiftshader JIT D3D9b softwarerender is not yet optimized to SSE4 instruction set.

The conduit easily as much as i dislike the Wii its obvious the conduit is better graphically.

1.its textures are far better.

2.it has much more smoothing and less pixelization.

this thread can be closed.

its pointless !

Even though that isn't the best Conduit screen, I choose Conduit. How anyone could choose Quake 3 is beyond me.

The Conduit has way better graphics. That Conduit screenshot you grabbed is absolutely horrible. I honestly can't believe that Quake 3 is winning this poll, it just goes to show you how uninformed and ignorant the posters on this board are.

problem is if you do the same with a 360 game, thread got locked and if you are unlucky you got banned for trolling :|

hell even if you post something positive about a 360 game but lems think it can hurt their image , thread get closed :|

Wow.... the HYPE this game gets is just mind boggling... Silenthps

(fixed)

More accurate depiction of The Conduit.

Quake 3. Definitely.

I had an 800 mhz Pentium 3 computer with like 128mb ram and a 32 mb GeForce 2 video card in 2000 and that was top of the line. Quake 3 looked way better on that than the Conduit ever will. Also, 1200x800 resolution (what I had at the time) = better than 480i.

Quake III.

I think The Conduit looks better, but only just :?

The Conduit. Any other answer is wrong since we're arguing technical facts.

It is an undeniable technical fact that Quake III looks tons better.

I applaud the moderators on letting an obvious troll thread stay up. Good job guys. keep up the good work.

Quake 3 has better level design any current gen FPS. True.

Are you ******* kidding me? This is a thread to start a flame war. You know it.

You're comparing a game using a 233Mhz CPU, 64MB RAM, and 4MB VRAM? to a game (The Conduit) using a 729Mhz CPU, 88MB RAM, and 64MB VRAM?

are you serious, and you realise th Conduit is locked into one resolution where as most PC games from the 90's had multiple resolutions?

The PS2 could almost run Quake 3 if it wasn't for it having only 32MB RAM instead of 64MB RAM.

everyone keeps bashing the Conduit for its graphics, why? You guys know that isn't what Wii games go for, so what HVS wanted to give Wii owners the best graphics for what they were working with? You guys can't realise the only reason they made claims like 360 level graphics (and to be fair the Conduit is doing some nice things graphically not usually seen on Wii due to lazy developer) was because THEY NEEDED A PUBLISHER!? of course they'll make big statements to attract attention, all that positive/negative attention (remember there is no such thing as bad press) gets publisher's attention, and thus SEGA is publishing their game

People can't seem to respec they've spent years making licensed games like Dora, and they've saved money to make their own IP, their own baby, and they're doing it for a audience very under supported (Wii FPS), and they're doing it with a whole lot of dedication and love.

I'll be playing the Conduit come June 23rd, like a gamer, instead of a lot of the ppl talking about it on here, trying it out. if i hate it thats ok. its looking good to me though. after all reviewers are saying the controls "are unprecedented level of custimazation" and the multiplayer is "platform defining".

But hey we can totally bash a developer who puts their hearts and souls into satisfying a small demographic of gamers with the game they've worked hardest on ever without even played their game, right guys?
