Colin McRae: DiRT 2 (N64) screens,Preview

As far as i'm concerned, no Wii game looks better than Riddick, GT4, MGS3, GOW2, Jak and Daxter 3 and Halo 2.

Maybe RE4. That looks damn good.

Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy are really nice looking games.

At least the got tire tracks in the snow in the one pic.

Must have taken up most of the resources though cause everything else looks barren... except that ugly barn/house in the background.
 
Wait a second, this is a Wii game?! I thought this was one of those blast to the past threads or something. Holy effing shit :lol
 
:lol at the thread title

absolutely terrible... this thread needs more :lol
but right now its a contest to see what the oldest racing game is that looks better than it... right now we have 11 years and sega rally 2? :lol fuckn terrible
 
Okay, I didn't see this before the title change.

Am I the only one who really thought this was some kinda game that was never released for N64 and the screens were just magazine beta scans from way back when?
 
I shot the online editor an email to see what's up with the pics. I hope they weren't provided with these blurry images.

I thought the OP was being a smart-ass by intentionally posting pics of an N64 game trying to get a reaction.

EDIT: This is after I read 'N64' in the thread title, though.
 
lol I believed the thread title. I thought it was a case like those DC games releasing in Japan long after the console was dead. Even after the screenshots I believed. Then I read the posts :lol.

Oh Wii, you kill me.

the visual style is a matter of art direction. but the quality of those screen shots is terrible - seems they were taken with the cellphone of ONM's editor-in-chief.

Exactly. Didn't people get t he memo with Final Fantasy Crystal Bearer's or Gran Turismo PSP?

It's obvious that these screens are highly bad quality.

This post can't be serious.

Game looked amazing for its time. Looks pretty meh now. I mean the textures look good up close but they look pretty blurry far away.
 
Stop It said:
Codemasters just doesn't care enough to give the system proper budgets for their games, which is a shame.
Possibly. Just compare this to NFS: Nitro or something. It truly looks like a generational difference.



Or maybe it's all a trick to temper expectations like THQ did with RF: Guerilla. :o
 
Reading the thread title and seeing the shots I did actually believe someone at codemasters made a n64 demo or something for a laugh.

Lets compare the trees:


SPOGS racing:

DIRT 2

Dirt 2 wins in cars and floor texture, SPOGS racing (the worst wii and wiiware game) wins in trees. This is fucking sad, this must be offscreen shots, a joke or fake.

i thought this as well... i said wow... and then i said wow again when i realised it was a wii game :lol
 
There has to be some kind of inside joke in the Wii development community about who can get the shittiest looking game published. There's no other explanation.
 
What happens when Codemasers practically ignores Nintendo hardware for 10+ years and then comes back. Not surrsed it looks like a first gen game- it is.

Wow.. need to play this
 
People don't really think the game will look like a blurry overexposed photo do they? :/

If you want something to laugh at, look at the wheel rims, you can see the background between the spokes.
