I was about to agree with you until I scanned through this thread user0x7D... and I didn't see anyone talking about stylistic versus realistic. This game is coming from some really crazy developers, it's not too surprising that their visuals are pretty crazy too.
Ooops! My bad! It was no one here!
I officially revoke any and all besmirching comments I made in regards to this forum. I just got all hot headed over the damn thing. I must have read about it on one of the other sites that were linked to this thread and just sort of back-linked it here subconsciously. Bah! Get caught up in my own emotions too much.
But the thing is, the issue is out there and people are using it as a point to belittle the Wii. And it's spreading...
I just got.... UGH!!!!!! So angry when I read it, even the first time. It makes me want to snap the heads off of any idiots who could even entertain such an idea!
*stuff*
Umm... I never here nor there insisted that the Wii could perform on the same level as the PS3/360 graphically. I was insinuating that a number of people seem to be under the impression that Wii wouldn't be able to put out a good looking game at all. I mean, shouldn't the vast majority of Wii games look at least as good as the best GC games from last generation? Right now most of them look worse than Dreamcast launch titles. The fact of the matter is developers are low balling the system and people are beginning to think that that's the best it's ever going to get and that the only way that anyone is ever going to be able to push the system is stylistically, which is patently untrue.
Beyond that, I think SMG looks damn good, even compared to some of the powerhouse titles on the PS3/360 for the sheer fact that I don't like hyper-realistic graphics and what the hell is up with all HD games having this weird plastic sheen on everything? It looks like everything's wrapped in cellophane. Do HD graphics go bad that much faster if they're left out for any length of time? Blech...
I'm rambling now.
Fun Fact Kids! Make sure when you lay the beat down on a forum, you're actually laying the beat down on the right forum. :p
