Soul Calibur Legends [Wii] new screens
- Thread starter king zell
- Start date
Onimusha still looks better overall(art direction does it) even if the tech(textures and poly count) isn't as good, but various sources have praised the graphics(IGN, 1UP, NP, and someone said EGM?) which throws things out of line. The smooth animation and 60 fps is nice, but I'm here for the co-op, gameplay, and controls which hopefully a lot of wii fans want to try. Hopefully it will start to impress more toward launch(early 2008?) so that people will see it as the first wii action game to actually take advantage of the wiimote.

Is this really GC/Xbox level, though? We're comparing it to PS2 games.Satter said:
maybe i'm crazy, but this is the only wii game i kind of covet. yes, this interests me more than mario galaxy, though i'm sure mario will be the vastly better game. maybe it's because i used to sit in dreamcast soul calibur's free camera modes and dream about an adventure game in this world. zomg siegfried and taki fighting a big dragon

The geometry is not bad (By no means pushing the Wii though) but the real problem is the lack of any kind of lighting, that would really improve the overall quality of the visuals by ten fold!

Ace Combat floats my boat. "Bububub its ground textures!"
To that, I reply: "Crash and die!"

The majority of Third Party games says yes (take Zack and Wiki and Dewy's Adventure outside). Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime III and Smash says NO.
It is an effort problem: simply games like Soul Calibur Legends or RE UC are handled by B team with low budget. This budget is spent overall for the controls and what rest for the appearance is slighty more then zero.

There's a a big interview about SCL here: http://www.cubed3.com/news/8163/, if anyone's interested. Other than talking about the game in general, WiiConnect24 and online compatibility is talked about, as is the idea of SC DS, Soul Blade on VC and an upgrade of SC3 for Wii.
Interesting interview, but lots of question-dodging, sadly.

what about RE:UC? supossedly even the backgrounds are 3D. granted the're might be like 4 zombie models, but still those mummies look the same to me.
really, i think there's no excuse... but im not saying the game will look like that when released, there's time to improve, hopefully they will.
from what i could tell, its still very much a work in progress. the indoor stage it was very obvious that ivy's posterior was polygon'd out. you could see the base of the mesh. not a good sign, but in the outdoor stage, her butt smoothed out and the textures seemed deeper, only the stage itself was sort of lame. i'm going to withhold judgement on this until the final product. they seem fine with showing off early work in progress shots, so this may turn out fine. i do hope they delay it a few months if it doesnt look so hot. i hate it when devs release something that obviously wasnt done when the deadline came. Red Steel is number one on this list, even though i did like the game. a delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.

There's nothing too bad about these screens but the lighting.
Wouldn't we agree?
It sounds like fun, it looks okay, not great visually, but isn't that like a huge improvement over the majority of Wii releases?
Besides of that, there still is time to improve the lighting, not sure if it's likely or not (it is Namco-Bandai afterall).
Toss Link in their as an unlockable and you've got a million seller.

Flat, okay since there's no local light from hit sparks or whatever, which I'd be surprised if they don't add it before the game ships unless there's just not enough juice left in Wii having to support 2 players. I'd hardly say lighting is non-existent since there's obviously at least some directional light on the characters.

If this game is put together by the so-called dream team then I weep for namco's future.
And then if this is done by duct-taping the remaining development team of DBD then I only wish namco the best of luck in their future endeavour. Hopefully when the dust is settled there will be some table scraps nintendo left on the market so they dont starve.

As someone who loved Ninja Gaiden, it was void of light. When does SCL release?
