Interview (and New screens): Madden NFL 07 (Wii version

So there's a 7 pages long interview where a lot of nice features are described, and what do we get here at GAF? A 4 pages long topic about 10 screens.

Really, GAF is going places.

Oh for shit's sake.

2 pages and this thread is already ruined. This game looks GOOD for Wii. It's obviously better looking than the Xbox version, and it flows better too (from teh videos we have of it). And the controls sound GREAT.

This thread did still better than the similar thread on IGN... it took about 2 posts to ruin the whole shit. And on the 4th page, people were talking about normal mapping with no mention of the game at all... :lol

(I don't have interest in this game at all, I'm just interested to read about the new control system and stuff.)

Exactly,
If this is an example for the next five years of Wii threads, I might as well stop coming to the gaming forum entirely.

Sure it looks like shit compared to Sony and Microsoft's supercomputers, but it might actually be fun to some people who haven't bothered playing virtually the same game every year. What's wrong with being excited about a new way to play an old game? Others are satisfied with the traditional controls and just want a game that looks stunning? Good, let them enjoy Madden 2007 on Xbox360.

To be fair, this happens (sometimes) in X360 and PS3 threads, but yeah, it sucks.
Be it Wii, PS3 or Xbox360 we're talking about, it's simply idiotic to have a 7 pages long interview and just comment about 10 screens.

It's idiotic no matter when it happens. It's stupid in 360/PS3 threads because, seriously, quite a few of the games people complain about actually look really good. (Who gives a **** about one isolated texture in the corner of some screenshot?? I mean, honestly.) It's stupid in Wii threads because YES WE KNOW. We don't need forty thousand people pointing out that the vast majority of the system's games are not even close to on par with 360/PS3.

It's making this forum really painful to read. It's the opposite of interesting, compelling, or useful. I enjoy browsing GAF but holy shit, I hope this stuff starts to taper off. I would hope that the launch of PS3 and Wii will cause people to let up, but 360 launched a year ago and this crap is still going nearly full steam on that system as well.

I guess I find it more than a little hilarious (ironic? hypocritical? bullshit?) that 360 Madden took shit for its graphics being "barely next-gen" at first which are a thousand times better than this and this is the standard now for "much better than GCN/pleasantly surprised/etc", but I suppose that's the type of thing we can expect. And then of course the sideliners with their eyes wide open in PR-ish fashion buying Madden for the very first time.

Wacky controls ftw.

just the hipocresy of the nintendo fanboys

*clap clap clap clap*
You sir talk the fair word. My sentiments EXACTLY.
On the other hand,

just the hipocresy of the nintendo fanboys
Here we go again...
Your stupid posts somehow make me hate your avatar, which souldnt happen cause it's kinda neat.

And, Amirox, it is neither ironic or hilarious. People have these sky high expectations about next gen graphics and those basement low expectations about the Wii. Both of them are really stupid, but, just red that chris guy's post..
 
The launch games will look exactly, or slightly better than current gen iterations. It's what we know the system s capable of at this point. WTF does every Wii thread turn into this shit?

Bunch of... *sigh*
 
HDR, Depth of Field and modelised grass FTW !

furthermore, the lighting and shadowing is a lot better thant current gen madden, i really like these screens :)

it's definetly not current gen GFX :)

"You know what? We need to make this game look better than Xbox at the very minimum. And if possible, we need to challenge the Xbox 360 version." That was our goal from the first day.

I'm gonna send this guy a stripper for Christmas.

I think for now I'm not going to discuss it. Anything that has to do with online, for now no comment.

That's it. The WiiConnect24 feature of Megaton has to be some kinda server ability that in conjunction with gamespy allows you to set up your own online games (and saves your friend codes in memory, taking the responsibility of your safety out of Nintendo's hands).

Or at least that's what I hope. Soothsayer? We'll find out tonight, I guess.
 
Definitely digging the whole "fake button" idea with the B trigger. Hard counts become a valid strategy in multiplayer, and the idea of play selection with the B trigger to confuse your opponents is genius.
