- msarge, on 04/28/2009, -1/+60On rails shooters don't really have much else they need to process besides graphics so they should all look amazing.
- junkfoodjoe, on 04/28/2009, -1/+46commence console fanboy flame.
- inactive, on 04/28/2009, -7/+52right, 'cos the 360 has jagged npc graphics.
- fyreboltx, on 04/28/2009, -1/+38Near Xbox 360 quality graphics? I dunno about that... maybe on a standard def TV.
Still, the game looks really good. - Pitak89, on 04/28/2009, -11/+41'near Xbox 360' I lol'd in real life.
- inactive, on 04/29/2009, -2/+21That was always my argument to my friend on why the player models in boxing games on the current gen look so real, but a game like GTA still doesn't. He didn't understand that in the boxing game, 90% of the resources were devoted to rendering the fighters, and 10% on the environment. In games with sprawling environments, the player models suffer.
This is why Guild Wars, which is played on a tight path, can play on my crappy PC with the video settings maxed at 60 fps, yet BF2 runs like ass with all the video settings at lowest possible setting. - scy1192, on 04/28/2009, -2/+18Certainly better graphics than most Wii games, but still not 360 quality.
- zeebo, on 04/29/2009, -1/+15Right, now just give us a new RE4 style game for the platform.
- inactive, on 04/28/2009, -1/+13Why always make on-rail shooters? I dont hate it i mean i was of the generation of House of the dead and virtua cop, but come on instead of wasting time and money on those half assed games why not just do a freaking remake of RE2.
- tadj, on 04/28/2009, -0/+12Looks just like Umbrella Chronicles to me!
- jeremymccurdy, on 04/29/2009, -0/+12You haven't played a PS1 in a while, have you?
- wolfboyZ, on 04/29/2009, -2/+14Capcom boasts 'near Xbox 360' quality visuals...in standard definition but still looks lacktacular once scaled up on a HDTV.
/fixed - thewonster, on 04/28/2009, -6/+17Looks like a Left 4 Dead on a bad computer.
- LordKorax, on 04/28/2009, -6/+17I thinks that's why they say "near Xbox 360" quality.
- Garofoli, on 04/29/2009, -4/+14'irl' is the preferred nomenclature.
- bobthegreat1224, on 04/29/2009, -3/+13I just want RE:5 with the 360's graphics and RE:4 Wii's control scheme. Is that too much to ask?
- inactive, on 04/29/2009, -0/+9People would rather own one system and rant about it being superior like they get paychecks for advertising them.
- canudiggit123, on 04/28/2009, -0/+9There is a reason resident evil isn't scary. Its all because of the story and the viruses evolving to a point where there are no slow ass zombies and just people who want to kill you.
- DarthLamp, on 04/29/2009, -3/+12Dunno, still looks like it could be for PS2 or something.
- Khast, on 04/29/2009, -3/+11I don't really see why people are complaining about how ***** the Wii's graphics are. Granted it doesn't have the processing power of the 360, or PS3, but Nintendo wasn't exactly trying to push the envelope. Did it affect game sales? Nope, not one bit.
If graphics are really what you are looking for, get a Xbox360 or PS3. And personally, I think all 3 consoles have some pretty awesome games. - innovaciones, on 04/29/2009, -1/+9Wii = Best selling console, period.
Xbox 360 = Best selling console with TRUE next generation graphics.
PS3 = Best console for developers because there is no way to pirate PS3 games! - Terasiel, on 04/29/2009, -0/+8Its sad as hell that the Wii doesn't have more good games than it does. Seriously, for a system that is nearly identical to the friggin Xbox Original, it doesn't make any business sense to never show that off with Halo 2 type games.
Still, this is nice to look at. Just wish they'd have pulled that rail-shooter ***** off the drawing board and made it normal. Hell, anyone whose played the Wii enhanced port of RE4 should know that it has no issue handling decent last-generation graphics in a fast moving battle. - jeremymccurdy, on 04/29/2009, -3/+11*Yawn* It's a rail shooter. Just cause you make a game pretty, doesn't mean it'll be good.
- inactive, on 04/29/2009, -2/+9where do you see jaggies in that video?
though it is rather low poly and fixed - zeebo, on 04/29/2009, -1/+8I own both a Wii and a 360. Sometimes controls simply trump graphics. Would you really want to play a rail shooter by waggling a thumbstick rather than aiming with a pointing device? The Wii desperately needs more shooters of all types first person, third person, and rail, its the best home console for this type of game ever.
- crossmr, on 04/29/2009, -0/+7maybe in second life?
- emjaymj, on 04/29/2009, -1/+7Cool story bro
- chongli, on 04/29/2009, -0/+6Left 4 Dead looks way better than this with 10-20x as many enemies on screen at a time and no slowdown.
- sdp343, on 04/29/2009, -1/+7That's like saying you're the tallest midget
- MasterGrief, on 04/29/2009, -2/+8/megaton buried for being a complete and utter asshat who spent way too much time on an unwarranted internet putdown. Also, he misspelled buried.
- Zap2, on 04/29/2009, -3/+8you missed a lot of them then!
- themastersb, on 04/29/2009, -0/+5i think you misinterpreted the title, but it looks like it was made to be that way. What it means is that it has the best graphics out of all other Wii games. It doesn't mean that the specific game looks the best on the Wii compared to other versions.
- kontraire, on 04/29/2009, -0/+5RE4 on the Wii is one of the best games I've ever played. The graphics were beautiful, especially considering the limitations of the Wii. Wish I still had it so I could play *this* one....looks great.
- saady87, on 04/28/2009, -1/+5well, cant say much from a video, I have to see the game live to tell the difference. But the game looks really entertaining.
- foofightrs777, on 04/28/2009, -1/+5Look pretty similar to RE4 on the Wii. I did notice some decent lighting effects but nothing particularly great.
- InfernoX, on 04/29/2009, -1/+5 Just because bodies aren't shiny and there's not excessive bloom that does not mean the graphics aren't great. Left4dead looks good because of it's great lighting, great animations and highly detailed models. It also has anti-aliasing which is becoming a commodity in games these days because some of the most popular game engines don't support it. (Most notably, the Unreal Engine 3.0)
- nerdherder, on 04/28/2009, -3/+7Agreed, I would like to see this implemented on a different game.
- Elranzer, on 04/29/2009, -0/+3I thought it was two Gamecubes duct-taped together?
- junkfoodjoe, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3dugg for giving a positive outlook on all consoles for once
- innovaciones, on 04/29/2009, -2/+5I ***** hate RE5 gameplay.
- themastersb, on 04/29/2009, -1/+4I dunno so much about parties. I wouldn't exactly go waiving my Wii around at parties, but house wives on the other hand...
- Tonicks, on 04/29/2009, -1/+4I judge games by whether they are fun or not. I care not about consoles or graphics. Some people could do the same and just chillax.
- fabio1, on 04/29/2009, -0/+3actually, 1 and a half gamecube duct-taped together. still fun though, there's nothing wrong with the cube
- magneteye, on 04/29/2009, -0/+3MIRROR?
- kontraire, on 04/29/2009, -0/+2The Wii's controls are what made the game so amazing, not the graphics. Unbelievable immersion and control with the Wiimote. I'll never look at analog sticks the same way, ever.
- BrownieMix, on 04/29/2009, -2/+4Graphics don't make the game, online play, story, gameplay, and level design do.
- MasterGrief, on 04/29/2009, -2/+4I'd be with you if it wasn't for the fact that all the games pre-Resident Evil 4 were only scary because the camera so rarely pointed where you could see what was in front of you. When you're relying on such a cheap tactic to modify gameplay, you've got a problem. Don't get me wrong, I loved the old Resident Evil games, but RE4 is vastly superior. (Haven't played RE5 yet)
- Elranzer, on 04/29/2009, -0/+2I do, all the time. There's still amazing-looking games on the PS1...
Parasite Eve 2 (PE1 wasn't bad either)
Final Fantasy IX
Chrono Cross
Legend of Mana
SaGa Frontier 2
At that time, the developer exploited all of the PS1's graphic capabilities and tailored the effects to what the PS1 could produce. Rather than pushing crappy polygons, they focused on its ability to display pre-rendered backgrounds gloriously on a standard-definition TV.
Also, in the case of the last two games, making a game look like pages from a story book just looks impressive at any generation. - Terasiel, on 04/29/2009, -3/+5Since when did anyone try to say the Wii was in "The Graphics War?" It's hardware is on par, arguably greater, than an Original Xbox. I'll post specs and give sources if I have to.
- anenokoji, on 04/29/2009, -0/+2Here is a graphics example... just about any 3d game on the ds. looks like ***** to the point of being unplayable. madden, need for speed... 2d games are fine, even though they look kinda weird. but they are playable.
