It looks ok, nothing graphically impressive. As long as the gameplay is solid, then I'll be happy.

[Raph'N'Roll]

They're probably PSP or PS2 screenshots, looks good though especially the Leo one.

[Masked Ninja]

Those don't look terribly good. :\ Might be better in motion, though. Or just poor screenshots.

And... that's an odd decision, color-coding the belts in addition to the masks...

[TerranigmaFreak]

As far as I can tell, those are Xbox 360 shots. There is no PS3 version announced so far and those shots are above 1024 x 576. Yeah, they look pretty bad. I like the stone wall texture in the Mikey shot, but that's about it. I rather judge a game based on gameplay though.

[Dr. Doom]

Yeah, that had better the PSP version.

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

That is definatley the DS or PSP version. The console version will look so much better.

[TerranigmaFreak]

PEOPLE the picture resolution is 1024 x 576. Name one PSP game that runs at that resolution. Not to mention no gaming site ever takes pictures of game over their default resolution, unless we're talking about a scan from a magazine. Neither PS2, GC, or Wii can out-put at 1024 x 576

[Anarchistguy]

Or...maybe that's from a beta version or something...tss, who am I kidding? :P

Anyway, graphics don't make the game. As long as the gameplay is good, I'm cool with it. :thumbsup:

Dude, I saw that pre-production video, those scans don't even compare to what I saw.

Those scans are obviously from a handheld.

[AquaParade]

Actually, thats probably the Wii version. Look at the website the link takes you too...but thats just my guess

[Kendamu]

Well, considering that the only TMNT games I play on a regular basis are the original coin-op TMNT and the original NES TMNT, these graphics look awesome to me. Just as long as I can play it on Wii, PS2, DS, or GBA I'm good-to-go!

Exactly. I think it looks nice, anyhow. But story and plot and gameplay are much more important than how something LOOKS.

We're a pretty shallow people, if you think about it (not meaning anything BAD here) if people around the world are starving and we're worried about how aesthetically pleasing something is, instead of giving thanks that we HAVE such a thing.

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

The game is coming out on almost all platforms, they probably just linked to the first screen shots they got.

Even the worst Wii games don't look that dated, there is no way possible that is the console version. It's the handheld, those screens lookof DS or PSP(aka PS1) quality

[Masked Ninja]

When I say it looks bad, that's because I'm comparing it to the sneak-peek video we got when the teaser came out. Now, that was at a lower resolution so it might look better small than at this size... but I could have sworn it didn't look that bad.

[AquaParade]

Some more info was posted on gamespot...I beleive it claims that the screens were from the gamecube version. There is a little interview as well, take a look!

...Are we talking about the same video here? The pre-production stuff looks like garbage because they didn't have any texture maps on them. They were also pre-rendered, not real-time. This game uses the Jade Engine (a very good engine I might add) and no way the DS (which is 2D) or the PSP can handle that. The GC's native resolution is 640 x 480. The screen shots you see are wide screen high definition shots.

[Spike Spiegel]

Wow thank God it's on ps2 and GBA!

I was gonna be mad if I had to buy an XBox360 or PS3 just to play the TMNT movie game.

*crosses fingers*

Hope it plays better than the other console games.

[Duke]

The screens look horrible. I'm no graphics whore but there is no excuse for making the characters look so blocky.

Okay, I'm releaved that was just the Gamecube version. Somewhat releaved.

Still, i'm stoked that they're including classic Turtle characters that are'nt in the movie(hopefully Nobody, Savanti Romero, Rat King, and *squeels* Leatherhead). But still, single player? WTF!?!

[mikey2007]

i don't understand why they would want to make it a one player game, i have seen that they like to switch between turtles and stuff, but even if that is the case, maybe they could have atleast made it two players, because that is half the fun of video games for me is playin with a friend

I was a bit put-off by the single-player gameplay, too, but I guess it harkens back to the very first TMNT for the NES in '87. At least, that's how I'm justifying it.

Hopefully, he just meant the story mode is single player. The whole beauty of the TMNT games is 4 players + 4 turtles= hella fun.

[Spitfire]

Those shots suck horribly. They must be from the PS2 release or something.

The shots in the video released earlier were so much nicer. The 360 version of this game will look the best, and my luck that's the one I'm getting.

Though everyone will most likely enjoy the Wii one the most because it'll have some stupid gimmicky Wii remote crap you can do with it. People really eat that stuff up.

Yeah, if only people ate the 360 up like that in Japan, they maybe Microsoft would'nt be getting spanked over there.

[Spitfire]

I don't want Japan to eat up the 360. Last thing I want are a slew of titles with metro sexual 12 year olds flying around like faeries with their big swords and lame hair styles saving the world one lame turn based battle at a time.

When Japan is allowed to make 360 games we get crap like N3, N3 was terrible. And DOA Beach Volley Ball Xtreame Penis Work Out

When Japan is allowed to make 360 games targeted towards Americans we get Dead Rising. If the 360 was popular in Japan then we would get a lot less of that and a lot more of the Final Fantasy clones and porn games.

I'm sorry I want good titles with my system please. Hence why Sony is getting not a cent of my money this gen and Nintendo isn't impressing me much either since nothing I want is coming out for it in the next few months. In fact the only Wii games I want are that RE exclusive and Smash Bros Brawl. Which will both have to be pretty good to get me to buy a Wii just for 2 games.

I think Smash Bros Brawl alone will be enough to sell the console. Plus theres always Zelda, Mario Galaxy, and Metroid Prime 3.

[Spitfire]

Sell a console to everyone else maybe, not sell a console to me. If you buy a system for one game your a very poor at making money based decisions. But for you obviously the system has more to offer, but as I was saying for me it has little to offer. Mario, Zelda, and Metroid don't at all appeal to me. Zelda I played already, on the N64 and the GC and let me say it hasn't changed much. Metroid 3 will be the same FPS crap we have played already only OMFG it used the Wii remote, teh revolution iz herez. And Mario has failed to impress me. Mario 64, Mario Sunshine*Shivers*, Mario DS*64...with new characters yay?* and this new one is just going to be the same crap but use the Wii remote.

The Wii remote is like touch screen. It's cool and all but I don't care. I could give a rats ass if I point my remote at the screen and can use it to go bowling. I honestly like to sit back and relax when I play games. Not stand up and spaz out while I'm killing ninjas in my bedroom in Red Steel. This is why I hate DDR. You look like a f'ing moron playing it and you get tired. I don't play games for a work out I play games to relax. Now I know the Wii is hardly a work out like DDR would be but point remains.

[jeff the cheff]

Well I don't think people care if they look like morons while playing a video game, since it's supposed to be for fun, and to have fun you need to let loose and not care what other people think.

And some people might think dying your hair all sorts of colors makes you look like a moron, but people do it anyway because they don't care what those people think.

To you maybe, but I'm still sticking with the holy greatness that is the Wii.

[jeff the cheff]

Yea I actually played the wii last night and it was probably the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. It's a great party system, you can just pick it up and play and have fun, instead of having to learn how to play in order to beat anyone.

So TMNT on Wii would be great

Yeah I used to, and it brought much un-needed and un-wanted attention to me so I stopped and I dyed it back to brown.

Point being I DO NOT WANT A WII. Could I make my opinion any clearer. I don't care what you want I'm telling you what I want. I don't know how many times I have to state that.

Hey, it's cool. You don't want a Wii, thats fine. I don't want American Idol to come back for another season. It's all good.

Well that I can agree with you:lol:

[Spike Spiegel]

I don't know, I've always liked the kind of TMNT game where you duke it out as your favorite Turtle( one player), but I think multiplayer option is important--it's what made the arcade games so cool.

[Turtleman100]

all I know is that it better stay on PS2

Funny... my entire play through of Zelda was spent lounging back in a chair, hands down at my sides, not waving my arms around like an idiot. Infact, the only game I've had to move for is Wiisports, and that's by choice. I could just as easily chill on the sofa with Wiisports.

It's cool that you don't want one, just to be uninformed about the actuality of the system.

Well I never played one just every video I see, that we play at my work non-stop all day, has people standing up in their living room going nuts when they play. And one of the games they play is Zelda.

I know you most likely don't have to play like that but the point of it is to. I'd feel kinda dumb buying a Wii not to use it like that. Kinda like buying a DS with the intention of not using the touch screen.

I love Nintendo but their systems are all gimmick based. If it works it works that's cool with me. Maybe this will be the next wave of systems. Either way I made my pick already and I don't feel like switching haha. I had a GC and PS2 last gen and I love GC but all I had for it were multi-platform games I wanted and RE games.

[misnomer]

I'm pretty sure those are PS2 shots, well at least according to gamespot.com. Youve only got to watch the official game trailer on ubisoft's site to see that the graphics are a good deal better than that - at least in terms of lighting etc.

The game not having a multiplayer mode is a real buzzkill though. For that reason, I doubt I'll buy it on release.
