Rampage: Total Destruction

...even more...

Is it me...or does this game kinda look fun? I mean, like the good old days of arcade gaming? I can just imagine playing this game with a bunch of friends, all our greasy hands from the giant pepperoni pizza and doritos and mountain dew we've just devoured, and 4 of us at a time recking havoc on this poor little city that this takes place in.

These screens definitely don't look that good. But damn if this doesn't look like something that would be hilarious fun.

 

[typhonsentra]

Looking through this thread, why do you guys even bother posting all these pics for awful looking kids games? I mean, Billy and Mandy? Really?

 

[Sunski]

The last 2 were the original screenshots, and the models look downgraded in all the latest shots...but why?

 

[Mr. TV Goggles]

GT Pro

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

[Screenboy]

Pather you are going to single handly destroy this thread you worked so hard to create and maintain by posting any more of those **** arse screens!

 

[chase]

Marvel looks alright. Rampage has good characters (some of them even seem to have *gasp* effects on them!) but all the background detail is pathetic. Why do people not try to push Nintendo consoles?

 

[CorwinB]

The Rampage screens are weird, with decent looking monsters (needs more giant crabs, though), and horrible scenery (look at the N64/Voodoo1-like filtering on those cars !).

I don't judge 'em, I just post 'em. I can leave the lol's and everything else to the usual suspects. This thread was not created to either hype the Wii nor make it look bad.

I just post 'em. You guy are doing the rest. I'll post a comment here and there about them if something strikes me about what I'm seeing, but I don't particularly care if these shots look great or awful. I plan on buying a Wii regardless. And I think we can all agree that nobody is buying a Wii because of cutting edge graphics.

Edit: and you think I'd post some of these horrible screens if I gave a shit about who wins or loses a stupid console war? I have no agenda here other than keeping the media available for the Wii into one thread.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

What exactly does one do in Rampage?

You eat people, and smash buildings and stuffz.

Good job on the thread panther.... keep it up!

GT Pro could be banned from the videogame's industry. It is worse the some N64's titles ! Ubisoft's really think that a stupid port with the Wiimote is enough to sell a videogame ? They have nothing in their Brains...

The shots posted are not from GT Pro AFAIK, they are from GT Cube, a Gamecube game released only in Japan in 2002. GT Pro is based on GT Cube, but the shots are not representative...

This person may have a point. I haven't seen these screens pop up on any of my sources...

That being said, the first two screens that WERE actual shots did look pretty horrific. Hopefully those recently posted by whoever will be revealed as GC stuff. The fact that we don't really know speaks to how bad the first two were.

OK, I'll go ahead an reveal it:

Remember this screenshot? This is the URL: cubemedia.ign.com/cube/image/gtcube_060503_5.jpg

 

[PantherLotus]

We'll take that as a confirmation then. Kill the bastard that posted that shit in this thread.

 

[plagiarize]

the rampage shots don't look 'downgraded' to me. they just look like blurry captures of the same thing you're seeing in the last two shots. look at the buildings and taxi cabs.

considering i can still have fun playing the old rampage games, i'm not too upset about the graphics on this one if they don't turn out so good... but yeah, four player building destroying can be alot of fun. GODAMM on the cube was a fun time, for example.

Call of Duty 3

Here are the ones we were expecting from the Activision embargo (that ended today). Looks like we're starting to see some improvements. That's cool. I've also been hearing some great comments about the control (dating back to the release of the last demo/video). Will be interesting to see which franchise (Metroid, COD3, FarCry, Red Steel) will get the best controls and which developer will set an early precendent for what works...and what doesn't.

 

[Moderation Unlimited]

Those rampage screens look pretty awesome...fck anyone that says otherwise. Arcade action ftw.

 

[Varjet]

CoD3 upgraded am total.
But still nothing special.

If these are the old shots, the real GT Pro will (hopefully) look much more polished. So we can expect it to look like a Gamecube title at the very least.

GT Pro = SAVED!

 

[LanceStern]

Now Call of Duty 3 is reallys tarting to impress me, especially those smoke effects. They really nailed that superbly. The character models are even getting up there to good quality, and liek IGN said, while ti may not be on par in terms of effects with 360, it has just as much stuff happening onscreen.

When you're running from a panzer tank, I don't think you'll ahve too much time to stop and ogle at normal mapping anywayz :lol

 

[Hairyiguana]

can you please take out the Rampage pictures, at least off this page, ever time I refresh I have to site through all of them. You seen one shot of that game you have seen them all.

 

[japtor]

do the other versions have armies of clones as well?

 

[Chris Remo]

No. The one you have is non-platform specific, while the ones I posted are generated on the Wii hardware, confirmed by IGN.

Not according to Codemasters' media site, which is where I got them. That one single shot is the only one marked on their site as being a Wii shot. The others are PS2.

Super Swing Pangya Golf

Could this possibly be the coolest golf game, like evar?! They got it all: the motion control, the bikini chicks, the ninja outfits, the coins in the holes, the combat/duel mode, everything. The worlds are sweet and all is well in the world.

But there is darkness on the horizon. Online has not only been NOT confirmed...it has been denied. I can't imagine a world where this game would need to be rushed to market to meet the holiday and the online would be left out. That's ****ing awful.

Btw, these taken from the sweet IGN trailer.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Super Swing Golf impresses graphically speaking. I feel that this game should be coming out in 2007 though, when online can be put in. Oh well.

COD3 looks better in those screens, and much better in motion, but it could still be so much more.

Is it just me or does Dragon Ball Z Wii feature some of the best cell-shading since Wind Waker?

Behind your sarcasm, at least I wasn't laughing at "how bad it looks" like everyone else
Actually, that Monster 4x4 game looks improved over the previous screens I think... and it comes with a free steering wheel too. If I hadn't already set my mind on Excite Truck...

It's nice technically, but I don't think it has even an ounce of the soul that Wind Waker has. I'm hardly a neutral party, though, as I despise the visual style of Dragon Ball and its ilk.

 

[tHoMNZ]

well
wii doesn't look very good graphically

 

[SuomiDude]

No, but it looks just good, which is enough.

Metroid Prime 3

Some shots from IGN that I hadn't seen before or I don't recognize. This shows a fight with Ridley, and the effects of getting hit/movement on the screen. Lots of blur and jarring effects to remind the user that he/she is wearing a helmet. That's cool.

Also, here's a link to the control, but I'm not sure if it pictures the newest scheme. The thought of using the freaking down button on the control pad to shoot kinda sucks if you ask me. I would have made THE TRIGGER the fire button and the A button the jump button and sacrifice the control pad for w/e visor controls are needed. Oh well.

Hey Billy and Mandy is a good toon and the game looks like a powerstone sort of game. I've actually might rent it on some system.

Yeah, PLAY magazine had a write up of this game in the last issue. It actually didn't sound too bad, although I wouldn't want anyone to see me buying it.

It is difficult for me to convey how badly I want Metroid Prime 3.

Unfortunately I don't think the actual game has shadows like that.

 

[artful_dodger]

ugh at some of this stuff. Anyone else feel like Nintendo should have waited one more generation to pull the new gen controller + last gen graphics bit?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

No.

The reason the next generation of consoles get so much attention and hype is actually because there is a darkhorse.

If all the three consoles played the same as they did last generation, I highly doubt there would be such heated anticipation and debate.

Nintendo should be thanked and applauded for changing the game this time around.

Plus, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that any mediocre or bad graphics on the Wii has very little to do with the machine itself.

There is a reason many give their full attention to Nintendo this time around(yes, even the ones that bash it). If people were indifferent to the Wii, they would be spending time on the consoles they actually are excited about but that doesn't seem to be the case, does it??

Nintendo threads are huge and that says it all.

Maybe, but most of the games that are actually worth worrying about look great.

Wait... what's the difference between "shoot" and fire beam?

 

[AniHawk]

I just heard there was somewhat of a discussion on Metroid Prime and wanted to join in.

 

[puck1337]

They need to pump up the Wind Waker engine for the Wii and license it out to 3rd party developers.
