There's your problem. And I assume by "all FPSes look the same to you," you guys mean they all are in first person? I dunno how anyone could say this:

Ah, I think I see what you mean. The actual grittyness and weird realism of the characters aren't attractive but the set design and overall aesthetic they're going for is phenomenal. Judging it from that perspective, I could see Galaxy topping it.
Enough of my derailing however, let's get back to Mario Galaxy. I mentioned it earlier but I haven't seen anyone else comment on it; are we looking at a battlefield-esque level in the middle of the third scan? (Mario is surrounded by cannons in the pic) The Battlefield levels in SMB3 were simply amazing and a throwback to those would OMFGZ levels of awesomeness.

Now like the N64 and its pad i start to think that Wii and wiimote was entierly made for this game.
It'll be a full moment of joy and awesomeness. I want this game so much. I think with the very little deception that sunshine was for me i'm less hyped that i should be but i'm sure i'll have my eyes O_O during weeks after i play the final game for the first time.

You know... now that you posted that team fortress pic and reminded me about the game. That has to be my favorite artstyle of the year, next to persona 3 and mario galaxy. I still think Galaxy takes the crown "so far" in relation to the actual design.
Everything just seems so imaginative, and everytime we get new pics they just further confirm this. I really am uber excited to play through the game and see what the different worlds look like and how it will be playing them in 360 degree movement.
I thought they stated it would be locked at 30, same with sunshine. Though I havent played sunshine in a long time so I can't remember if it was 60fps or not. I'm not saying I'm right btw, just wondering also.Akai said:

Well those are the best that the genre has to offer... but if you look at the dozens of the other FPS that are out there to make a quick buck, they are all somewhat similiar.
FlashbladeGAF said:
Every genre has tons of derivative crap that outways the good stuff. It's not exclusive to FPSes. And the point is that FPSes have varied appearances, not that there all great looking. Regardless of what I choose, the fact that there a 4 distinct looks right there is enough to prove my point.

The haunted world looks more than just a mansion, great.
I'm getting a Super Mario Bros 3 vibe from the variety of worlds.
I hope that there's a world smilar to World 5 in smb3.

Looks stunning! And I don't mean the graphics, which are awesome, I mean the range of levels and potential gamplay variety. It already looks like the most fun you could possible have in a videogame!!
Thanks for the scans Neo.
Thank you.

This is a SMG thread of awesomeness, so please stop posting pics of FPS games.traveler said:
Thank you.
its built of many small areas in a large open void. NiGHTS is built on a constantly moving set of levels filled with all sorts of enemies and things on a large scale moving at the same time. I do think Sega could have upped the graphics a bit given more time but Im pretty sure it would take a framerate hit. However from what Ive seen Im honestly satisfied with the art direction and quality. I just want the game to play and sound like the original.jett said:

I will buy a Wii for this game and this game alone.

What I've observed ever since we found out about the Wii's last-gen graphical technology is that Nintendo fans and others are willing to forgo PS3/360 level visuals, but would still like for the Wii's extra boost over the GC to be utilized. In other words, Nintendo fans would love to see games on par or better than last gen's efforts as far as the Wii is willing to take it.
Anyway, still no Japan release date.
I don't mind having to import this from the US, but I'd really like it on day 1!yeah but in NiGHTS2 case Im not being too picky because, Ive waited 11 fucking years to play this game. Im not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.cvxfreak said:What I've observed ever since we found out about the Wii's last-gen graphical technology is that Nintendo fans and others are willing to forgo PS3/360 level visuals, but would still like for the Wii's extra boost over the GC to be utilized.

All FPS shooters dont look alike! But alot of them do look similiar.
3 of the games you showed are all coming out this year and one of them was on another system that had a totally different idea behind it than your typical FPS. Those games look great and shows the wide variety that the genre can have but almost everything else before it, that wasnt done by the best of the best wasnt trying so hard to be visually unique.
Alot of the other FPS seem to use the same engines or the same realistic look so you end up getting alot of games that look similiar as opposed to games in other genres.
Alot of this is the fault of the perspective, both from the player and the developer. The player only sees the game world through the eyes of the character so if all the game's worlds are set on Earth with highly detailed realistic weapons they are obviously going to look similiar. Its the best way to make a quick buck. Shoot shit up instead of trying something different, like the other games you mentioned do. Which of course sets them apart from the rest, making them the exception and a breath of fresh air.
Other genres (Action, Platform, Fighting, Adventure) seem to look the same from a gameplay standpoint instead of a graphic one. Hellboy and Conan have different styles, but both play like they want to be God of War or Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden.
PS. True Next Gen is Mario with waggle.
BELIEVE!

Not to get all argumentative and such, but people who are not utter ninthings said that the Wii's hardware was "fine" in terms of graphics: not that graphics "didn't matter". Please see the constant bitching by even ninthings whenever a shitty looking game comes out. The point people had with "graphics don't matter" was really to THEM that GC++ Xbox+ graphics are A-OK. NOT excusing shoddy devs and their games...
If every game looked like Mario Galaxy (and judging by your reaction to this game) then even you would say "Wii graphics are OK" even if they're not ZOMG Xbox360 or PS3 calibre.
I'm just glad that you're not moaning what "could have been" for Mario on a machine powered similar to 360 and PS3 for once.

ho shit. if anything makes me go wii60, this'll be it. that sky world screen on the lower right of the first page brings tears to my eyes - tears of gratitude and joy. :lol
Im pretty much satisfied with GCN/XBOX level graphics, but I agree with you. If every Wii game looked as good as MArio Galaxy and a few other Wii games, nobody would complain.Dragona Akehi said:Not to get all argumentative and such, but people who are not utter ninthings said that the Wii's hardware was "fine" in terms of graphics: not that graphics "didn't matter".

I just find it ironic that people used to think the Ps2 was hot shit a couple years ago and suddenly its unplayable garbage visually. but whatever.

Wow.. Just beautiful.
I think this has a great chance to be one of the best games of this generation.. Greatness just pours off it in waves. If there is a better wii game released in the next two years, I'll be shocked (and I'm a huge metroid fan with a lot of anticipation for that game) This is just pure magic.

There surely are a lot of third parties which haven't done their job well. We shouldn't forget though, the SMG-team is quite big (about 50 persons) and the devs have perhaps 2 years or more for the development. I can imagine to see in 2008 some competitive 3rd-party stuff.Linkhero1 said:
It's not unplayable, but many PS2 games have aged pretty badly and lose something as a result. Of course, I also believe that there are loads of great PS2 games that look better than most of the junk on Wii (not the hardwares fault, obviously).Innotech said:
