New shots from The Godfather: Blackhand Edition for Wii.

Any screen from any of the version of The Godfather are cringeworthy, but seriously, WTF EA, WTF. Buying this will just encourage other developers to do the same. DON'T DO IT.

I don't think there was even a GameCube version, so this is probably based on the PS2 version, which somehow looks better than this.

Dig those PS one textures, lighting and 16-bit dithering.

There simply is no excuse for this bullshit.

Wario64 · Feb 9, 2007

Looks like it's running on a Voodoo Banshee

Duck of Death · Feb 9, 2007

Alright, as much as I do not like Factor 5's games, Julian Eggoodlordwhataname's comments are dead-on. This is ridiculous.

Unbiased Basturd · Feb 9, 2007

Can someone post some Xbox version pics? This is where we have to make true comparisons. (was there an Xbox version to begin with?)

Testicular Sound Express · Feb 9, 2007

i was expecting worse. the ps3 version looks really abd too.

rezuth · Feb 9, 2007

What is the problem?

Duck of Death · Feb 9, 2007

oh, and in before the "but the gun-blast flames and fire effects are true next-gen!" insanity

Absolutely disgusting... my god... it's like they didn't even try... who's doing this again? EA... whoomp there it is...

Tieno · Feb 9, 2007

That looks pretty good for a Wii game.

cws · Feb 9, 2007

those pics are just bad - look @ the exclusive ingame trailer on ign ...looks ok,not THAT bad...

dr3upmushroom · Feb 9, 2007

At this point, I've given up on good looking games on the Wii (Outside of Nintendo, Konami and Capcom developed games)

djkimothy · Feb 9, 2007

I guess the dotting give it the "grainy" film look to it?

Man, that's harsh.

SSX Blur looks like its gonna be a decent looking Wii game. And Zelda aint too shabby either. Other than that though...

Yea screw that they keep shafting me like this I'm selling my wii. Thats bullshit.

no developers set out to make an ugly piece of shit. but this is a port-down from the 360 version, and therefore they had to scale everything down in order to get it to run on wii. If it's an originally developed wii game it wouldn't be as ugly.

"pretty good" for Wii means "looks like an Xbox game".

The Wii isn't about anti-aliasing, it's about fun. I can clearly see lots of fun in those screenshots! funjaggies ftw!

Zerodoppler · Feb 9, 2007

Looks like any other third party game.

PepsimanVsJoe · Feb 9, 2007

Why the hell is that guy with the handgun looking at me?
Wait they are both looking at me! Holy crap

Man this is some shit. Sloppy developers indeed.

Dolphin · Feb 9, 2007

That's a new trend, feather windows. 30% decrease in lacerations from sugar glass, nice thinking EA, nice thinking.

dysonEA · Feb 9, 2007

earlier videos ... the game looked decent! ... these screens makes me sad

Dante · Feb 9, 2007

Holy crap! that's offensivly bad. What's with the dithering?

Y2Kev · Feb 9, 2007

Utterly and completely unacceptable.

Uncle · Feb 9, 2007

Tain · Feb 9, 2007

The 16 bit framebuffer will always be the icing on the cake of Wii shots in terms of making me think of PSP games.

ghostmind · Feb 9, 2007

They had this and Tiger Woods 07 on "On the Spot" (GameSpot) yesterday. TW looked good with the wiimote control.

f@luS · Feb 9, 2007

DOnt car about this game
but

I am the only one to think wii games have a serious dithering issue?

Zelda , as much as i like it and its good looking but the IQ is...somewhat not good.
Excite truck has serious dithering issues...

I hope even if i dont care about that game , its the jpeg compression that makes this effect

speculawyer · Feb 9, 2007

I don't think they are that bad. It is the Wii . . . SDTV only. IMHO, Zelda is a great game . . . but it looks like blurry crap. The Wii is just not real next gen so why do you expect next gen quality?

xaosslug · Feb 9, 2007

VariableTerry · Feb 9, 2007

At least nothing is sinking into the ground.

We at least expect to not want to gouge our eyes out when we look at Wii games.

But this is some shit..some real shit.

Talking about IQ , i never had any problem with the last gen for GC.
I Mean , just play metroid prime or Fzero , thats a perfect IQ....right now wii has a serious issue

Link316 · Feb 9, 2007

does this look better than the PS2 version?

We are not expecting next-gen graphics. We are expecting something that should look at least like an Xbox game. Only Mario Galaxy seems to be reaching this "Ninja Gaiden" quality in visuals (and maybe surpass it in some ways). It's just totally shamefull.
Those screens there look like "normal PS2". It's not acceptable.

Where?

yoopoo · Feb 9, 2007

No point, we've seen the game running already. It does look better than the screens.

The Wii is a bit more powerful than a Xbox (in certain ways before anyone comes crying), yet the games so far released probably wouldn't make a Dreamcast struggle never mind a PS2. The sooner PS2 support dies off the better it is for the Wii, but we all know that ain't going to happen anytime soon and even then they will have PSP ports to work on.

Honestly. Nintendo should not allow this utter shit to be published on their console.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
