I wish companies would just post the WYSWYG images. I don't need fluff, i need to see the real deal. Those images are only going to make me wait to see what other gamers say about the graphics, since those images makes me skeptical.

I also wouldn't expect an amazing first attempt unless they had an amazing first attempt on GC. New hardware always takes some learning to take advantage of, and it's not like developers will be putting next-gen resources into Wii games when X360 and PS3 need it.Hatorade said:

It is when your competitors are actually capable of playing games in high res.masud said:

You would think that by now they would at least get better at putting together bullshots, paper cutout enemies are kind of a dead give away.

Low res screen shots are too small. I'd rather have this. Without all the AA touching up of course.
I don't know why we get so little video footage of games. That area with the rain would be much more conincing if they just showed 5 seconds of gameplay rather than a touched up pic.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Look at the Ninja in the shooting screenshot.
Finally, a new enemy firing stance? haha, biggest improvement yet, eh?

The video posted earlier looks pretty nice. My one complaint is that the enemy in that shot seems to represent enemies as a whole. There was a sword fight where the player and a glittery-edged cardboard enemy seemed to be fighting on a rotating dolly.
Bullshots have been around for as long as gaming. My personal favourite (or most hated, whichever way you look at it) was on the C64. We so often got Amiga screenshots on the back of our games claiming to be actual screens for the C64.
But this one takes the cake. Who knew the C64 could do 24bit graphics in high res?

Ubi soft is not competing with Sony and MS. they are just trying to make their game look impressive and show off the effects/lighting in the same way developers have done all last gen. We as hard core gamers always know the difference and adjust our expectations. It's not like these are FMV like Madden or Killzone, I really don't see the big deal.Of All Trades said:

It has been said to me by many people who are purchasing Wii's, and I feel the same way: This and Zelda are day one must purchases. I will ignore the graphics-age discussion in this thread.

Actually, they are competing with SCEA and MGS, both of who are only releasing games in HD.masud said:

Its a much more recent pic, and even in the latest batch of shots from the us conference show the characters totally devoid of the lighting they once had.
The self shadowing is no more.

You would think by now people would know that in the game, enemies do have a sort of aura around them that makes them look somewhat superimposed from a distance.

meh you guys are full of it... so fast to call bullshots even though these screens show nothing that I was not expecting from Wii... they are below X360 and PS3 level graphics so whats so hard to believe?
I can expect this from Wii, seriously I expect more from Wii
I love the art in these and hope we will see more beautiful zen like japanese places
touched up or not don't buy this game unless you can expect art like these

Looks pretty damn good to me, I hope the game really looks this good on November 19.

It was in 16:9 at E3, so it's probably safe to assume it will be in the final version.Scalemail Ted said:

Haha, Well then, they missed that target then, wouldn't you say.
If these screenshots are true, I honestly can't tell the difference between Wii graphics and the HD graphics of the PS3 or Xbox 360.
But then again, I can't tell any difference from the showcase Xbox 360 and PS3 games and some of the Gamecube games (like Resident Evil 4, the Metroid Primes, hell, even F-Zero GX).

I understand what you mean and I dont have quarrels with these screens at all. But keep in mind, last time this game was shown the animations weren't quite up to par. I think from what Ive seen, thats really one area, visually, they should strive to perfect. Good animation can sell the visual presentation a long ways... or have an inverse effect and make something that looks beautiful in stills, awkward in motion.

We need some sort of rule that prevents people from coming into Wii screenshot threads and claiming that it looks similar to 360/PS3 games.
Scalemail Ted said:
I agree completely with you (which is probably why Oblivion got criticism for its animation). I think its healthy to be suspicious of any screenshot or video before the game is released.
I'm not a fan of pre-release hype. I hate how people get hyped (or the opposite, anti-hype) for something. When a game is out, it is either good or not. We'll just have to see how it ends up.
Pureauthor said:
Why? I almost posted how I didn't see anything to get excited about a couple times in the 360/PS3 screenshot/trailer threads. But I figured that would be interpreted as 'trolling' even if it is my genuine thoughts so I stayed quiet.
I'm not the 'hardcore gamer'. Some of the stuff GAF goes crazy over, I do not understand. But I do think the over-sensitivity on the subject is rather odd. Not everyone is a graphic whore. There are many of us like Dragona out there who honestly can't tell much of a difference going on.
I do know that HD TV sales are sluggish at best (no wonder prices keep falling). The HD graphics of Xbox 360 certainly isn't lighting any of the three markets on fire. Most customers seem happy with PS2 games currently.
I wonder if the fear that the mass market won't give much of a care about the crazy polygons and resolutions is at the heart of some of your responses. Most people aren't graphic whores. So what?
