Right, but CoD 4 DS.

I know, I was just reaffirming that CoD 4 DS is awesome

 

[kbear]

try harder

Try what harder? I was defending the game and the Wii. Did you even read my post?

[chubigans]

I love it when Wii fans complain about graphic quality. The Wii system is all about it's unique control system, I couldn't give a crap about the graphics when playing Wii games.

I don't care about graphics in general but with the Wii it's more laughable.

I agree with this. Let's wait and see how this turns out before declaring it a botched Ubi game.

 

[Fantastical]

This game will be epic

Spoiler

fail

[kbear]

uh huh

Dude, did you read my post? The fuck?

dude, have you ever heard the phrase "damning with faint praise"??

 

[MercuryLS]

More like Brothers in SHITTY FUCKING GRAPHIX! AM I RITE?

This is getting old, Ubi fails at Wii, what else is new.

 

[Sharp]

He's right, it doesn't look much worse than the average third-party Wii game.

Games going for realistic styles like BiA simply aren't going to look good on Wii. Games like Zack & Wiki, Mad World, etc., avoid the technical shortcomings by using unique art styles. Realistic games just aren't going to look good due to the hardware. If it plays well enough, why does it even matter? Stop being so defensive over nothing.

Exactly.. it doesn't even look that bad. Compare it to the shovelware and it looks pretty damn nice.

 

[BorkBork]

Look out, everyone's piling on Ubi now. :lol

Bullshit. There were plenty of good looking realistic games on PS2, Xbox and Gamecube.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

Doesn't look any worse than the original XBox version, really...

 

[TunaLover]

Now seriously, why this title was so delayed, when it was done for months?

 

[Teknoman]

Still the Wii is definatly capable of better "realistic" style graphics than that. That im sure of... but I still need to see it in motion.

 

[rakka]

no shit, though that doesn't explain why this would still look like dogshit were it on the gc/ps2.

 

[kbear]

Also, how do we know it's not 60 fps? If it's 60 fps, the visuals should get a break from all this criticism.

 

[BorkBork]

Just as an aside, Ubi's Event forum (where all the anger was concentrated) has been removed. :lol

 

[Sharp]

Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Galaxy were both 60fps, so that's not really a great argument.

Came to say the same. Saying any realistic game CANT look decent on the Wii is completely ridiculous.

 

[Aaron Strife]

This is why I visit NeoGAF.

:lol

 

[No Means Nomad]

Really you're not going to see anything more out of a Wii game that requires multiplayer, AI, those type of environments, etc.

It looks ugly and shit but really that's pretty much all you can do with Brothers in Arms on the Wii.

 

[Speevy]

Also, how do we know it's not 60 fps? If it's 60 fps, the visuals should get a break from all this criticism.

these visuals don't get a break at 120 fps

:lol :lol

You will be on Ubisoft's next Press Release

I'm sorry, but you've previously shown absolutely zero interest in owning a Wii or playing its games so your post came off to me a bit suspcious. If you honest to goodness think this is a decent looking game with potential...well, more power to you.

 

[kbear]

Aren't those more stylized games, though? I'm just going by media.. never played 'em.

 

[Sharp]

MP3 has a fairly realistic style, and Mario Galaxy, though stylized, isn't really hiding behind the stylization--the textures and effects are extremely impressive. You should really try Galaxy, by the way--justifies the cost of a Wii.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

I don't understand the hate.

GBX has been pretty open saying it would be just a port of the XBOX/PS2 games with Wii Controls and features now.. Not really any graphical improvements.

I'm seriously considering one in the Fall as a compliment to my 360. It all depends on what Nintendo announces at E3 / whatever major game show. If their biggest announcements are more casual stuff like Wii Fit / Wii Music / Wii Pottery, I'm gonna pass. Third party announcements are gonna be important too but I'm not expecting much hardcore stuff being announced from them.

 

[SabinFigaro]

Wii (left) vs. Xbox (right)

At least they're somewhat comparable. Wii appears to have better textures, while Xbox has softer edges (aliasing?). Still, when we're already a year and a half into the Wii generation, shouldn't we be expecting more?

 

[agrajag]

I love how in the last gen no one said "man, the tech isn't there yet to do realistic graphics. All the games should be super stylized because any game that attempts realism is going to look like shit on PS2, Gamecube and X Box." Yet when a system that is somewhat more powerful than those three comes out, it is deemed that it isn't fit for realistic graphics all of a sudden.

Why do people treat the Wii like it's fucking N64?

The hell were Capcom and Factor 5 thinking? They should've gone for a cartoony stylized look instead.

Only if it comes with it's own wheel.

See the problem is that the Wii is suppose to be more powerful then the Gamecube. Which of course brings up the question why there are so many games that look worse then Gamecube games

From Ubisoft? I'm surprised that that didn't replace the guns with plungers, the blood with rainbows, and made it a game about pulling teeth.

It was all a lie.

 

[titiklabingapat]

I dunno how prevalent the Ubisoft bashing is outside of GAF but they deserve all the hate.

 

[norinrad21]

hahaha i need to choke someone

 

[Mama Robotnik]

Absolutely brilliant!

 

[Death_Born]

OF COURSE! Why didn't I realize that earlier?

It's obvious why Ubisoft continues to make such crappy games. They haven't unlocked the second Gamecube!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

God, kill it with fire.

Wow, I thought the exact same thing, like down to the letter.

 

[agrajag]

Well, we can assume it is at least twice as powerful as Gamecube, since it is two Gamecubes taped together. rolleyes.gif

edit: beaten, damn

This.

Some people say "oh but it's wii and wii is last gen so this is pretty much all it can do with realistic graphix."

But really, this dogshit looks worse than numerous PS2 games of its type, yet its on a system that's quite significantly more powerful. The two games above highlight this - those are GC games, and yet they still stomp all over whatever shit Ubisoft is presenting. Sure, give credit to Capcom and Factor 5 for the technical genius, but there's a point where it becomes less about talent and more about pride and actual effort.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

My theory.

Did someone accidentally send Ubisoft some obsolete N64 development kits instead?

 

[Cowie]

OH FUCK
I CAN'T STOP IMAGINING™ GRENADE DOGZ

I'LL NEVER SLEEP

 

[epmode]

I would buy 10 copies of this game.

So amazing.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I echo the common sense regarding realistic styles on Wii. RE4 still looks fantastic to me.

 

[rollingstart]

It is a massive improvement over their previous Wii shooters.

 

[Teknoman]

Finally more people have said it. Stop giving companies excuses to use. The Wii can make some damn nice looking games when people actually put forth some real effort.

It is a massive improvement over their previous Wii shooters.

The hell? What game is that?

Also the Kamikaze Dogz really do fit well into the screenshot...thats what makes it so funny :lol
