- Korvaras, on 10/12/2007, -17/+111You just said nintendork. Wow... you are such a tool!
- apoc06, on 10/12/2007, -6/+58my only problem is that they dont show any gameplay. from prior history, EA and madden prerelease "screenshots" arent necessarily indicative of the actual game.
if these are the final images, what a pleasant surprise! - slimthps, on 10/12/2007, -24/+66I refuse to believe those are Wii screens.
- MasterFunk, on 10/12/2007, -13/+50Umm... those are PS3 screen shots. You can just check IGN if you want...
- JeffH, on 10/12/2007, -18/+52Funny fact: Those screenshots are in higher resolution than the Wii is even capable of putting out.
- doodirock2, on 10/12/2007, -9/+39These are NOT madden in-game screen shots. Sorry, but I just played a final code version of Madden on the Wii about a week or so ago for the Wii Ambassador Tour and it looks nothing like this. What you see here is only in-game cinematics that are %100 pre-rendered. Marked as inaccurate.
- TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32I take it you haven't played DS?
- TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30I've played Madden on Wii and I can tell you that it DOES NOT look that good.
- matija, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34sigh, you'll grow up one day too
- Fitzavig, on 10/12/2007, -7/+32I'm fairly skeptical to believe those are Wii screens too, but let's be fair. We haven't seen what the Wii is actually capable of (more accurately, Nintendo keeps downplaying its capabilities). Does that add any legitimacy to these claims? No, not really, but let's not be close-minded and such here. We have enough fanboys in the world, don't we?
However, I'd wager there's a 10% chance of these being from the Wii. I'd say less, but 10 is such a nice number, no? I won't complain though if I'm proved wrong ^_^ - shit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25>> hmmm, these screens are 960x540, according to ninty the wii will output in 852x480...
852x480 = NTSC
960x540 = PAL
These are widescreen images from a PAL Wii (notice the screenshots are from a French website). - Madh2orat, on 10/12/2007, -9/+31Hahaha, your funny, those arent screen shots, those are pictures.... wait...
- swany1012, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23yes it does do 16:9 and 480p
- Ignignokt01, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21They definitely AREN'T PS3 or XBOX 360 screenshots. Go to the Madden 07 pages for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 and look at their screenshots. For both those consoles, there is greater detail for the player models (more shiny helmets) and in the crowd, every person is a single (low poly) model.
In these screenshots, there is much less detail, and the crowd is one big blur of colored circles and bodies. But when you go look at the IGN Wii screenshots, they don't look nearly as good as these. WTF is going on!? Why are these screenshots are like a cross between the Wii and other two systems?!?!?!
EDIT: nevermind, im wrong. in these screenshots the crowd is detailed. These are from the xbox 360 - jasondefaoite, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25What about the Wii PAL? That should be around 570 lines. No?
- tommybear, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22These are NOT wii screenshots. Wii is 480p maximum. Understand that. If anything these are promotional shots done for marketing in Maya using game assets. This is common practice in the game industry because of print requirements.
More likely these are XB or PS3 shots. - Shirokun, on 10/12/2007, -9/+25Here even More awesome Wii madden pictures I found:
http://www.ngcfrance.com/news.php?operande=0&idx=6041&r=1 - maabus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+20No way that is what gameplay looks like--those pics are definitely from 'instant replays' (if for no other reason, one can't really control the game accurately with the camera in those awkward zoomed in angles).
That being said, I saw a video of the gameplay, and the graphics looked about equivalent, while the gameplay looked like a blast. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21Decent graphics, but there are still some serious clipping problems (look at the feet of the 3rd screen down)...and what's with the one defender's lack of shoes?!? (2nd screen from the bottom.)
But, the thing to remember about the Wii: it's all about gameplay, not insanely realistic graphics. - interiot, on 10/12/2007, -17/+32Exactly. Wii does max 480p. These screenshots are 540 lines tall. Buried as obviously inaccurate.
- Arkz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17hmmm, these screens are 960x540, according to ninty the wii will output in 852x480...
- Nick22, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18Those are def 360
- tito13kfm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Yeah, just confirmed.. I downloaded the file mad07_teams_a_c.zip from a link on the website I posted above that was in the Xbox 360 section of the website. Download that file and check out Chargers1A.jpg.. It's the exact same screenshot as one on this site..
Buried as innacurate. - TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -12/+24TOO good.
- Mudhoney, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19These are most likely NOT Wii screen shots, but the images being a higher resolution than Wii is capable of is not a sure bet on calling out fake screen-shots.
- Spaz007, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18Not Wii shots marked as inaccurate.
- zQiX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Yup same here. I played Madden at Digital Life on the Wii about a week ago. It definitely does not look like this.
- oldtimegamer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Marked as inaccurate. I JUST played the Wii about 5 days ago and madden looks absolutly nothing like this. These are just the pre-rendered in game footage. Don't believe this bull.
- YumZ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14I doubt those are ingame shots.
- deuceswilde, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16And for all the AV geniuses out there, a TV is actually 540 lines tall the other 60 are just not used, these may still not be from the Wii but not on account of their size.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16"That's called digging in. Overall I think the graphics look great. All games are bound to have some clipping issues."
I played football in HS and I've never seen a field so lush that "digging in" caused your whole foot to disappear up to the ankle. - OpCzar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I really hope this story will be marked innaccurate and buried quick. I don't want people to be dissappointed once they pick it up for their wii.
- tito13kfm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Almost positive those come from EA's website. http://info.ea.com/products/title.php?id=665 from the various zip files. Don't have the time to check at the moment. But they don't seperate the screenshots by system on their site. If you click on the zip file in XBox 360, PS3 or Wii they all lead to the same file.
- IcyStorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9It's not the Wii... compare the screenshots for Madden Wii on every other site and then look at this. It's definitely from the 360 or PS3 versions.
- Insert31990, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12The way to tell the difference from the PS3/X360 Madden to the Wii Madden is the helmets the players wear. On the Wii they are just blantly bloomed, whilst on the others, there are acurate, crisp, and clear reflections.
Just a personal observation.
So these, obviously, are from either the X360 or PS3. - OpCzar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Wow, I'm back and people are still digging and not enough of you are tagging it innacurate. The digg structure is slowly starting to fail.
- Ignignokt01, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10go look at IGN's screenshots for PS3 and Xbox 360, these screenshots aren't as good as those. (especially look at the crowd)
- TheG2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11How many times do we have to hear this arguement? We get it, I'm buying a Wii myself, but seriously, let it go.
- Ignignokt01, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I was wrong, these are either PS3 or Xbox360 screenshots. I just looked at the Wii screenshots LOL
- greymaxcat, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Just goes to show.... You can't trust the French....
- bastel, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13your first link leads to your 2nd and this one finally reveals the origin:
http://previews.operationsports.com/previews.aspx?game=madden07wii
and they speak english there :) - pidge, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Is this actual gameplay or rendered video footage? Looks more like video.
- WhereAmI, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8wow. I am amazed that Digg actually took a hit on this.
These aren't Wii screenshots? You admit it?
OMG - matija, on 10/12/2007, -8/+15took the words right out of my mouth
- monkeyrun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I don't believe it.
- tommybear, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Yes... except the physical raster on the video card inside the Wii does 480p max. this is then stretched to the end video mode.
- shakin, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11If those are PS3 screens then I think it's amazing how much worse they are than the Xbox 360 screens. In fact, it's also amazing that they're in standard PAL resolution instead of HD.
- masamunecyrus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Fairies and animals, i.e., fantasy, do make for an excellent game. Why, I enjoyed Fable very much.
- NeoRicen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Look at IGN or Gamespot or something, these definately aren't Wii screens.
Also look at PS3 screens, they are very very similar, they're PS3 screen. - nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8I'm marking it as innacurate but only because it shows LaDanian Tomlinson breaking a DJ Williams/Al Wilson/Ian Gold tackle (I can't tell who, all i see is the 5). Or patrick Chuckwurah, but he hardly even plays.
