Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. Manhunt 2. Day of Destruction. That heroes game someone else mentioned. Seems like a pretty good list for a system that's been out for only a few months. Admittedly, not as much as Xbox 360, but if you want mature content that bad then go buy an Xbox 360 like I did.
Well, that's his opinion, but in MY opinion, someone who really believes in the profession of programming video games does not complain and whine about the processing power of the system they're working on, but instead should enjoy the challenge of figuring out the best way to optimize the power the said system has. I think he sees the GDC as an opportunity to be seen and to be percieved as a credible programmer, but someone who uses lines like "The Wii is a piece of s***!" should not be taken seriously nor credible. I think he handled that very, very poorly, and I hope he reads this.
Hmm... well, I see your point, as no graphically impressive game has yet to be released for the Wii. And I agree screenshots to upcoming games are less than impressive. Like you said, the Wii is basically an overclocked Gamecube, so theoretically they should be able to take any GC and bump up the polygon count and smooth out textures. For $250, I expect the hardware to be capable of some powerful stuff. (Obviously not as powerful as the 360.) However, given the short amount of time the Wii has been available and the fact that screenshots rarely comminucate how well a game is ACTUALLY going to look, I'm going to give the Wii the benefit of the doubt and form my opinion on this subject 6 months or so from now. Just because developers know what GC hardware is like, maybe they still don't quite know how to utilze the Wii's supposed graphical power. I'm no graphic whore, but remember, even launch games for the PS3 look like crap. I'm sure, in time, both systems will realize their full potential.
