 | 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.

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.

It's like you're saying that no games prior to Bioshock were ever able to engage a person on that same level.

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  |
