Burn.

Anyway, it dosen't matter that much. I just think we've reached that platou of visual greatness where it dosen't matter much anymore. I call it the "point of who gives a fu*k?". Hell, I watched this real time video of a girl having her face manipulated on PS3. One, it was creepy. Two, it looked like a Dreamcast model.

If you want your women to have realistic graphics, then go find a real one and jack your controller into that. If you want a realistic Mario, that's as good as it gets really. Graphics don't matter to me anymore.

What pisses me off is how Sony keeps coming out with these beautiful models, manipulates them, and says "this is all real time!". Yet they neglect to mention that they entire power of whatever they're running, is being used to render that single model and the subsequent animations.

We'll never see a character model as amazing as the Doc Ock one they showed last year, or the Tiger Woods one we saw this year. Companies really need to knock that sh*t off. It's impressing less and less people these days.

I say "Gears of War" looked way more impressive than anything. Those are the kind of graphics I expected from the so called "Next Gen".

And that makes me happy.

I'm feeling a bit ripped off... if we can get these games (if not better) on current existing hardware, why have new consoles in the first place. The NES and SNES went for years... now we're lucky to get 5 out of a system.

**Barkworm** · 05-18-2006, 02:02 AM

I think what's funny about this whole thing is that Microsoft did something similar at last year's E³ (the games ran on Apples which didn't have the 360's power) and most people kept bitching about it. This year Nintendo does it and everyone goes "HOORAY!!" (including me).

Peanut · 05-18-2006, 12:03 PM

I don't remember anyone bitching about the 360's running on Apple's. I do remember some people saying it was a scam though. I don't see how they came to that conclusion, but whatever.

I think the difference is 360 was running on a computer, while Wii is running on a game console. Seems less "fake" that way.

I liked that movie. Royally misguided, but it had its own unique charm.

CookSux · 05-18-2006, 04:29 PM

what about assassin's creed for the ps3 running on 360s...

The only charm it has is the one that makes you hurl.

Anyway, the thing with the 360's... I mostly thought it was funny that MICROSOFT was running them on APPLE computers. What, those PC's not strong enough?

And trust, a top line quad core G5 is more then powerful enough to run 360 games... which from from what I recall is exactaly what they were using.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-19-2006, 01:20 AM

Meh, who cares. Nintendo was openly honest about the fact that it wasn't Wii hardware, but rather a Gamecube under the hood. MS swore those were real 360's, and such everybody came down on them when they were found out they were Macs.

It's like if the Wii demos had been running on a PS2 or soemthing.

*Spitfire* · 05-19-2006, 01:22 AM

To be honest I'm glad that isn't Wii graphics. That means Wii graphics will be even better. And I don't really care about graphics in general. If a game is good it's good. And games aren't going to come out that look like crap so there isn't any problems. Blood Omen 2 has awful graphics but the game is fun so I set that aside when I play it because it's fun.

**Barkworm** · 05-20-2006, 10:01 AM

Here's the official word:
http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/fe...?id=12739&rp=1
It was indeed Wii hardware but it wasn't finalized.

OA · 05-20-2006, 06:57 PM

Well, there it is...it seems that even though it wasnt finalized, we shouldnt be expecting too much more (graphically) from the actual finished product. Still, im seriously excited about it. So any thoughts on when the price might be offically announced?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-21-2006, 01:19 AM

Just assume less than $200. I'm going to call it at $179.99.

**Barkworm** · 05-21-2006, 02:21 AM

Do you think it will come with the classic controller?

Wow...i know they said they'd be less than everyone else but less than $200 seems almost redicuolus...i mean thats a HUGE difference, esp. from Sony. If that turns out to be true, My first next gen system will be the Wii. I've always been a Sony whore and thought i'd never switch but things are a changing...exciting times are a comin!!
