Support NeoGAF

[the thoroughbred]

Ok I understand the exagerations here. It's certainly not as far back as PS1, it look a bit xboxy. It has that kind of look, where it's really sharp, in fact too sharp. Like its simply downscaled from PS3. It needs more softer edges. Basically it needs to be done ground up.

I really need to do business. I should get the guys over at Factor5 put all projects on hold, and get Activision to contract the remakes, no ports. Can you imagine this game done ground up with the same polish as Rogue squadron. That game still lookslike a movie, It actually looks like A New Hope. I have no clue how they achieved it. And its really silky-babies-bottom- smooth.

Does Nintendo have quality control these days?

Well, if they would reject this game, they have to reject half the Wii library if they want to stay consistent.

 

[DungeonO]

Does Activision have quality control these days?

Fixed. Nintendo has no control over the quality of this game. And if they were to start controlling third party releases, like they did in the NES era, third parties would probably stop supporting their consoles.

I think they should reject games that are obviously terrible. I think any of the big 3 should.

Get the Delorean.

Only half?

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Looks terrible. I'm sure the game will be pretty fun to play but my god. With the $299 PS3 in effect now, and the 360 being at the same price for the Pro, those graphics are beyond ridiculous for a console that cost only $50 less.

[Kuroyume]

That looks pretty bad for a PSP game.

 

[StuBurns]

I'd still be complaining about the texture work if it were on PSP.

 

[OnPoint]

We've spent all this time talking about the texture, that nobody commented on the fact that his arm looks like a tube without an elbow.

 

[Shoogoo]

Oh.. Wow.

The sad thing is, I'll end up buying this.

You're fucking part of the problem.

 

[Amir0x]

hey what'dya know, looks almost exactly in the same league as World At War (Wii).

That thread where I debated those people about that precise issue seems kinda amusing now, in retrospect.

 

[MehsterChief]

I don't get why so many Wii games look that bad. The Gamecube was a fairly accessible concole, many ports looked way better than their PS2 equivalents. Wii programming should be pretty similar, right?

A little bit of effort could probably make all the difference.

 

[AniHawk]

Check your pms

 

[Vagabundo]

They must be happy with that screen if they released it to ign.

<sigh> such low standards.

 

[Agalloch]

Did you just call Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare a generic FPS, you'd better run for the hills and don't look back. And although I'm a Wii supporter, yes this game is better on HD systems. It's nice to know what you're shooting at you know...

I don't know what modern warfare is, maybe a totally different gameplay, i only look at screens and play call of duty 3 & 5 on the Wii, 2 & 4 on 360, some medal of honours etc..and i think this is a more of the same, aniway it's not the art stile i like and i'm not interested in at the moment..maybe for HD (for sure this kind of games is way better, al least graphicwise).
The only thing i see is that developers don't even try in some genres on wii, we all know that even gamecube gamecube is capable of way better things..but maybe in motion for the fans of the genre is not that bad..

 

[Yami]

Explosions in the Wii version.

 

[IceMarker]

:lol This thread is gold! :lol

 

[StormwatchGR]

 

[Dragmire]

Why are we still at sub-Gamecube level? Huh, third parties? I hope Activision explodes in a pixelated mess.

 

[Donos]

:lol good one.

 

[StuBurns]

That guy from the Monkey Island team was right.

 

[Misterinenja]

I actually though they were going to put some effort in this. It's Modern Warfare damn it.

 

[angelfly]

Having played through CoD4 on PC these screens bring a tear to my eye. Especially the one from All Gullied Up. Although since it is Treyarch I kind of knew what I was in for coming to this thread.

 

[Night_Trekker]

I mean this looks comparable to a freaking PS1 game.

So you've never played a PS1 game, I take it?

The screens don't look great for the hardware (Treyarch lol), but tone the hyperbole down, please.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

It looks like the PC version on lowest possible settings, which is what I expected.

They could do better, sure, but hey, Treyarch + time limit

 

[tino]

Wii lower power than iPhone confirm. etc etc

CoD: MW for the PSP?

 

[StuBurns]

The dead guy looks way better than your team mate? I don't think these are final models.

 

[Sadist]

*shakes head*

Looks like Activsion told Treyarch: quick, do something!

 

[tehvampire]

Ever think that the developers are really hating porting it over to Wii looking at their own work?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

...Well. Huh.

 

[Frenck]

:lol

Without the rest of the picture it's damn hard to make out what exactly you're looking at.

 

[GeekyDad]

It doesn't seem to look that bad... I think.

Really? My first reaction was to say to myself, "eww..." The top pic especially -- the character model is really bad.

I guess it's to be expected, though. It's not as if Activision is bringing the game to Wii to finally give those folks an opportunity to "experience the magic." No, they're just making sure there's no milk left in those utters before sending it out to pasture. So, it makes sense that they put as little effort as possible into porting it over.

 

[X26]

No doubt this was made during a single weekend

 

[Hypereides]

Oh man, I was hoping it wasnt THIS bad. The first shot makes me think why the hell Activision thought this was a good idea.

 

[Alex]

seriously guys support this game http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-cursed-mountain/51083

Will be amazed if this game turns out to be anything more than another Conduit. The stiff, generic vibe of it along with the repulsive developer history certainly sets it up well.

 

[Misterinenja]

Oh man, I was hoping it wasnt THIS bad. The first shot makes me think why the hell Activision thought this was a good idea.

Seriously. WaW Wii looks like a generation ahead compared to this.

 

[ksamedi]

Wow a lot of negative comments here. What were you guys expecting? After three years can't you guys accept that the Wii is not that much above Gamecube level? This is the best you get graphics wise and this has been known for 3 years. It amazes me so many people still bitch about it.

If you look at it, you can tell it's photoshopped in (lack of jaggies, not sized correctly (why is his head so much smaller than yours if he's right beside you), way higher resolution textures, weird blur around character that's absent on everything else). Maybe Activision knew how hideous the game looked and was trying the mask the ugliness by photoshopping an enemy in from the "real version" of CoD4.

The problem is that this isn't even Gamecube level... this is Dreamcast/PSP level visuals. It's completely unacceptable for something with power comparable to an xbox.

No it not. The Wii is not more capable than this. We should all just accept and move on.

For fucks sake... smh

Really dude? Really?

I'd kill for this game to even be on Game Cube's level

I suppose you missed my post. You know, the one right above the one I'm quoting?

The one with the heavily doctored pic?

 

[ksamedi]

Really dude? Really?

Yeah really. This game has a certain art style that looks good. Same can be said for games like Wind Waker or Okami. They look very nice even if they're on old platforms. Modern Warfare is not in the same catogory though. It tries to be realistic and thats something the Wii can't handle as good as the HD platforms. MW Wii looks very much on par with WAW Wii which looked pretty good for a Wii game.

/thread this game is like 8 years old ffs. I except at least metroid prime 3 levels of graphics, lazy bitch ass devs.
