I'm not sure how either of these are appropriate responses to my post. My criticism was to Ubisoft's lack of effort, not the Wii itself

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Whatever, that looks like a GCN shooter if not a little better. Taking into account he Wii has no shaders, then thats what you should expect from it.

This port has been delayed for almost a year now. Good to see the extra time was well spent!
Are the Xbox BiA games backwards compatible with the 360 yet? =\
Edit - PSP port that came out two years ago;

Umm, what?
The Wii can do shadders...
It just can't do it using DirectX...

If your definition of a shader is reliant on Direct X... then you're wrong.godhandiscen said:
A pixel shader, is a color combiner. The Wii has what is called TEV (texture environment), a pixel shader. Fixed function, therefore not nearly as programmable, but to say there is no pixel shader is a lie.

It looks ridiculous.
Look, all I'm asking is that devs TRY. Do you see Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime, Mario Galaxy, and RE4?
Wii games need to look like THAT instead of like a World War II version of freaking GOLDENEYE. You'd think these guys would realize that even though the Wii is less powerful than the 360 and PS3, their games should not look worse than their last gen Gamecube efforts.
But what ACTUALLY happens is that Ubisoft and other moronic developers/publishers treat the Wii like it's the PSP's graphically retarded little brother.
If your game looks worse than a last-gen launch title, you fail. Period.

The funny part is that they actually DID try in the beginning. 
Red Steel - A rushed, flawed launch game that was still quite enjoyable and looked great at many times during the game. And yet, to this day, looks mind-blowingly better than anything else the company has put out on the console. I wouldn't be suprised if the development costs of Red Steel (reported 12.5 million, they had to port the Unreal 2.5 engine to Wii themselves) cost more than all of the rest of Ubisoft's wii game development costs combined.
Flaws included, I found Red Steel enjoyable, and could actually imagine what this little white box could do to the FPS genre (which I consider stale as hell).

Resolution-wise, yeah, but the environment qualities themselves actually DID look that good in game. :-/

Btw, from my understanding, the Wii's 2 TEV units have and older "fixed" pixel shader model, whereas the xbox had a "programmable" pixel shader. I do know that the TEV's can be adjusted themselves to mimic those functions, but not natively.
What do I have to do, get out my old digital camera and take a pic on my 27" sdtv? sheesh.

I thought the game looked great in motion and pretty close to those screens. Even friends of mine who played it (and they like 360 and PS3 graphics) thought it looked great in certain spots. I'm really looking forward to the next game as I think they can take it to the next level.

I'm not really a fan of conspiracy theories, but I do have to wonder if Microsoft and/or Sony have some influential leeway with Ubisoft and their levels of support for the Wii.

Not at all.
My theory is that Ubisoft likes money, so they make shotty quick cash in games for the system. That is why Raving Rabbits has its now 3rd in the series so soon.

Actually, barring resolution, that's nearly exactly what those areas in Red Steel looked like on my TV. But most areas in the game looked average.

If they wanted money, they would be supporting all of their success stories, not just 1 of them.

Why is everyone comparing games made by tech-focused, Nintendo-exclusive teams like Factor 5 and Retro with games made by mid-level multiplatform teams?Oblivion said:
Granted, Wii games can (and do) look much better than this, but the teams capable of pushing the hardware are generally in direct partnership with the people who designed the hardware, and are intimately familiar with how to maximize it.
Some of you guys are expecting Rogue Squadron or RE4 out of every average game that comes along, when in reality the average GC/Xbox/PS2 game didn't even approach those levels... you're just going to wind up disappointed every time.
Probably, I mean the video below has their name on it.ivysaur12 said:
Here guys i'll try to help, maybe it looks better in motion....

You complain because its not even an honest effort. Games should be on par with RE4 and MP3. Those were on the GC basically and we are now in the 2nd year of the Wii's lifecycle and they can't even reach those standards.
There is a point where graphics don't matter and at the bare minimum I expect something to be clear, no 64 fog, crisp looking, a lot more detailed gun models (come on) and all games these days have some decent lighting this game doesn't even have circle shadows.
