Screens have appeared from Call of Duty 3 that are meant for the Wii. Strangely the image has the screens in a bit of a blur while the text seems to be fine. However the graphics seem to be better looking then what you would expect from the ‘E3 graphics’. You be the judge of it.

Does seem extremely blurry, but it looks like it may look pretty nice under all that fog. I still think the Wii should be able to pump out some pretty not graphics, maybe not to the level of the PS3/360, but good none-the-less.

It is my opinion that the Wii will NOT make many popular games that even try to be realistic. Because the PS3 and 360's games will look MANY times better than anything the Wii can produce. However, when it comes to simpler games that don't strive for realism or great graphics (Mario Tennis or Zelda Golf) or something the Will will do fine.

That screen shot simply looks pathetic. The truth of the matter is once gamers get a taste of what nextgen has to offer they will not want to buy a inferior game system.

where are those screens from?


they look CoD 2 ish graphics wise which is good to know. It looked awesome on the 360...although not even a "next gen" graphics wise game, as CoD 3 on 360 will be the true next gen game.

Still though, if the controls work well,

The Wii version is going to be the one im going to buy

EDIT: ^ makeitlookreal, Dont be too sure.

I like graphics a lot, and the Unreal 3 engine when it debuted made my jaw drop. But the Wii, which will have graphics better than current gen (although not as good as next gen..) will serve my needs as a gamer much more...b/c even i've grown tired of the same old same old upgrades. Im not some ignorant Nintendo fanboy who's saying this either, i would take a PS2 or Xbox over a GC anyday but after betting against the DS and being proven wrong, graphics while nice, arent all that people look at.

Sure, if thats how you roll, go ahead, thats fine.

But i like the idea of new style to play, and the fact that Nintendo PURPOSELY made the Wii graphically inferior doesnt mean once gamers see madden with players who sweat wont give a shit about the Wii.

I guess it depends what you look for in a game, and the Wii is new an interesting to me.

What im responding to, is you said "inferior game system"

I'm still trying to figure out why everyone is so worried about specs that aren't as high as the competitors... the PS2 certainly found a way around this by just releasing a tonne of games, where a good percent of them turned out to be good games, enough to catch the market.

Question: Will the Wii have the kind of 3rd part support the PS2 had...

Answer: Probably not (i'd say flat out no)

One thing that is catching my eye graphically in those screens is the insane amount of particles. Smoke, realistic smoke at that, is incredibly process intensive and seeing incredible smoke like that really puts the system up there particle wise yet has some very bland texturing on the tanks. How weird.

The text and images are two seperate things hence the difference in clarity.

MILR, have you not understood yet that your opinion on the matter is well, the inferior opinion? Your assumptions are based on your own personal desires and not what the general public has in mind at all. To take your stance is to deny every poll, every postive report from a dev, consumer, retailer, publisher, etc....


Freeman, sure it's doubtful it will have PS2 like dev support but it's already leaps and bounds above GC intial support. Square-Enix, Tecmo, Komani, Take Two and more are all Wii bound yet all but shunned GC completely. Over 121 games in development, announced or planned which is far more than the GC had at this point pre-launch.

Id say its (obviously) because of the blurry/low quality pictures. The rest could look really good, and judging from the smoke (which we can tell is good even from the blurry pics) then the rest should look very sharp.

I do wonder how it will compare side by side with the ps3 and 360 versions running at SD or 480P. Id almost assume the core visuals are the 480P version of the other 2 systems. I just never found any war sim that much fun since it ruins the realistic nature when you cant turn fast enough to hit your target so what is a truely realistic game anyway?

i think they look pretty good. yes they are blurry but since when has a blurry pic ever meant that the game will be blurry?

even though its a first generation Wii game and the pics are blurry it is clear (yes thats a pun right there folks) that the graphics are still an good improvement over GCN, PS2, Xbox generation.

It is my opinion that the Wii will NOT make many popular games that even try to be realistic. Because the PS3 and 360's games will look MANY times better than anything the Wii can produce. However, when it comes to simpler games that don't strive for realism or great graphics (Mario Tennis or Zelda Golf) or something the Will will do fine.

now i feel like breaking this up a bit

It is my opinion that the Wii will NOT make many popular games that even try to be realistic. Because the PS3 and 360's games will look MANY times better than anything the Wii can produce. ok so PS3 and 360 can have all the gran tourismo/project gotham/colin mcrae rally style games because it is my opinion (since we're all giving opinions here) that those are the only games that have every aspect as close to realism as gaming can get.

are giant mech robots real? no. zombies? no. to put it plainly gaming isnt real. and personally i feel that if gaming graphics and themes get too close to real life they may lose they're soul. they'll lose what makes them games in the first place. their unrealistic feeling makes them fun. do you realise how sickening GTA would become if they truly went for realism? with games like GTA around i am glad censorship restricts graphics of violence.

the question is does higher power specs mean realism? not really. it makes it easier to get things smoother in real time.

what makes games real is the art style. now RE4 is the perfect example. it has a realistic art style. it looked great on GCN. now the Wii can do better than GCN. so how then can it be that games with realistic art style wont be abundant for Wii?
i mean CoD3 has realistic art style and will look good. developers will bring any game with realistic art style to the Wii if they see a chance for profit. Red Steel, Tony Hawk, EA NFL07 and Blitz the League have realistic art and are also for Wii (possibly even all for launch with others to come). i guess that what's upsetting you, may be that for NFL07 on Wii you wont get the same detail in crotch bulge as in the 360/PS3 version.

any ways moving on.
However, when it comes to simpler games that don't strive for realism or great graphics (Mario Tennis or Zelda Golf) or something the Will will do fine.ok so please write to the developer of Katamari damacy and tell him that the Wii is perfect for his game. Tell the developer of Loco Rocco that it is perfect for Wii. in fact get Jack and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, singstar, guitar hero, in fact all the popular games that dont use realistic art and put them on Wii. now if that were to happen wouldnt your precious PS3/360 be missing a pretty big chunk of their library. realistic games are only a small part in gaming. and i'd say that appealing to gamers who only like realistic games would mean that the developer is only appealing to a small niche relative to the whole industry.

great graphics doesnt mean realistic art. zelda isnt realistic yet will have the best graphics for GCN.

commenting on bold: try proof reading, fixing typos and using a game that actually exists. you may as well have said metal gear solid apple picking.

lastly
That screen shot simply looks pathetic. The truth of the matter is once gamers get a taste of what nextgen has to offer they will not want to buy a inferior game systemits your opinion. there is no truth in the matter when its your opinion. next gen in graphics is PS3/360. next gen in gameplay is Wii. so going by your logic, people who've had a taste of next gen gameplay will get Wii because its superior to 360/PS3. i think you just have to remember that a majority of people who play games arent graphics whores like yourself. alot of non-gamers arent going to bother buying PS3/360 because of graphics. they may say wow. but that doesnt mean they'll buy one. now i was contemplating on saying 'thats the truth of the matter' but since its my opinion i'd be doing something hypocritical.

so anyways enough of this MILR yakity yak.

*i am Rudy Giuliani. you must obey me. Wii graphics are good. i am Rudy Giuliani. you must obey me. Wii graphics are good. i am Rudy Giuliani. you must obey me.*

I'd waste some time with this, but it's already been obliterated by a couple other posts. Instead, I'll just point at this post and laugh. That's like saying, "I don't think anybody will buy a Ford Taurus or Chevy Cavalier once they see that there are much more impressive cars available."

Well, I guess I'll waste a few more seconds on this. Let me throw in a quick link to a thread in the PS2 section. (http://forums.e-mpire.com/showthread.php?t=57856) It dealt with the PS2 outselling the 360. Now, by your logic, this should be impossible, because why would anybody want to buy a PS2 when the 360 beats the holy crap out of it graphically? Here, let me follow that up with a quote from your own post: "The truth of the matter is once gamers get a taste of what nextgen has to offer they will not want to buy a inferior game system."

... The wiimote sounds like it would add realism. There is more to realism than graphics.

I can tell because I understand the composition of particle effects like smoke and how render intensive it is and the more volumous the smoke, the more particles it took to create and therefore takes some hefty muscle to do.

well viper can tell its good from a technical sense. those who can't look at it and compare it to two things. if it looks close to smoke from real life and if it looks more real than in the last game. if the smoke in the last game was good and this time looks better then that would mean it looks good. if the smoke in the last game was bad but this games smoke looks quite close to real life then you would say its good.

the thing is you dont have to know the technical side of it to see how good it is. its all a matter of perception. most people who play games dont know why things look good in video games. they just look and compare. that i believe is why Nintendo havent gone with a rediculously powerful console. they've gone with specs that allow graphics which most non-gamers will perceive as good, and which most gamers will say its still good. its not $600 plus good graphics. but thats the reason why it will be <$250. its good graphics for what you're paying for.
