No, you're thinking too tame. Those are story characters, not Disney characters.

These are the men to do the job:

I see your phantom blot and raise you the heroic fantasy version.

In one of the later arcs Mickey acquires what's essentially Mazinkaiser with an Optimus head.

In another of those stories everybody's set up to be superhero/supervillain parodies and the Blot does in fact end up as an obvious spawn homage.

I want to see the Alice in Wonderland portion just to see if we go full-circle to American McGee.

I can't believe people still think of the HD consoles for this game after it has been hinted the game is about painting.

I love the art, but the game is not just the concept art, we are supposed to play something with this.

Becuase many of us are fairly certain that we won't get what we're seeing in the concept art, and what we hope for in the game, if it's a Wii game.

I look at this art, and I picture disney given the Bioshock/Andrew Ryan treatment. Cobbled together and covered in grime. They can't pull of bioshock on the wii, so it stands to reason they couldn't pull of "Disney as run by andrew ryan" on the wii eigther.

I'm just going with anything on Wii I've seen, played or reviewd. And Rapture wouldn't be as good if it had been on the Wii.

Am I not allowed to be disapointed that my hopes and dreams for the game aren't liabble to come true?

I find it funny that you feel it wouldn't work. If enough work is put into something, it may not have as large a poly count, but you can pull off some impressive stuff on the Wii, such as, as Sporky said, Dead Space Extraction.

When you're basing it on a fiction in your head created from a game that we haven't seen anything of aside from concept art? Sure, you can be disappointed, but that doesn't exempt you from ridicule.

I mean, this is as irritating as all of the people whining and moaning about Resident Evil 5 not being on the Wii because the controls in this fictional version of the game are automatically more awesome. I play games that are actually created and put in front of me. I can't play games that haven't been made and only exist as dreams and wishes.

Are we not allowed to be disappointed that such narrow minded individuals exist? Are we allowed to question your assumption that something would be better or worse on different systems when there is no reason to assume so? It's like you're saying that no games prior to Bioshock were ever able to engage a person on that same level.

Disney's actually taken risks like this before. Anyone remember Runaway Brain? That's the fantastic Mickey short made in the 90s where he gets his brain swapped with a monster. The end result is, essentially, Mickey with rabies.





Yes, those are both officially licensed by Disney.

Wii games do not, and will not, look as good as they could look on another system. It's a physical fact that you can trace back to the bloody hardware. I can belive that "X" amount of money spent for development on the wii can net you nicer graphics than the same amount of cash spent to develope on another system. But if a person says that a game could be made to have tighter better graphics on a PS3, xbox, or PC, than it would have on a wii, they are corect, no if's ands or buts about it. Weather or not a game requires those nicer graphics to be enjoyed, can be a matter of opinion and discusion, but from a purly graphical capacity, the wii is the lowest on the list of modern gen systems.

My opinion is that the wii would not be able to capture the same sort of crisp, clean, high res, action that is in bioshock. I've seen plenty of info on wii games, and universaly, every time the wii has tried to do anything with tight details on it (like the dead space game) i've been really disapointed by the look.

I can't count the number of times I've been on a game review websight, spotted a screen shot, thought to myself "Man, those are miserable graphics", then realized it was a screen shot from an upcoming wii game that was trying to be realistic or gritty.

So don't act like it's some sin for a person to expect graphics in a game to be lower than what they would want, when it is on a game system that has universaly had graphics lower than they would want.

quote:

There is ample reason to assum graphics would be better on another system though. Becuase graphics are better on all other systems. If I was moaning about how they were going to limit themselves by doing the game on a PS3 instead of the xbox, there would be no reason to assume it would be better or worse on one system or the other. There are plenty of examples of games coming out for both, some with better graphical aspects on one system, some on the other. But games that have has version on a PS3 or xbox, and on the wii, have always had less impresive graphics on the wii.

quote:

Of course they could, but they were also top of the line at the time. Humans are comparative creatures, if we have experienced something awesome, then experience something even better, we prefer to stick with the better option. We are disapointed to find out the next experience is going to be back down at our initial understanding of "awesome". We're still liable to enjoy it, but we'd prefer to enjoy it more.

I would love this game to be "better than awesome", but I doubt it will be possible on a game system that has universaly disapointed me with graphics.

Don't act like that's some sort of unrealistic expectation.

Oh, and UncleSporky, thanks taking the high road and calling people with a different opinion narrow minded

Wow, rad. Thanks for sharing. I watched the short and am suddenly a bit more optimistic. Maybe I don't give Disney (even if it's old-school Disney I'm thinking of) enough credit?

I've heard even the iPhone is more powerful than the Wii, so I don't think anyone is expecting high Polycounts or extreme lighting effects.

Not when it was being used as a rather poor justification for the shitty framerate on a game that doesn't look really good even for a Wii game. If the iPhone is more powerful than the Wii, it doesn't show up in the games.

Of course. Fanboys know more about the wii and it's capabilities relative to the iphone than a programmer who writes code for both.

Thanks for setting me straight.

Comparing different hardware that outputs on two completely different resolutions on two different types of screens is hardly a proper way to compare graphics. News flash, jaggies will be more noticeable at higher resolutions. In fact, it's harder to acheive better graphics when you output at higher resolutions. Screenshots are by no mean conclusive evidence that the hardware is more powerful on either system. I'm going to have to go with the coders on this one.

Also, the PSP was more powerful than the PS2, but the graphics weren't significantly better on the PSP.

Protip: individual programmers working for companies often spew out all kinds of inaccurate shit about all the consoles.
