We've all seen the Xbox 360/PS3 graphics comparisons over and over again. But, those consoles are for graphics whores. The Wii is not for graphics whores. It's for fun-loving people who don't mind if their visual experience can be reproduced on a portable system. Case in point: Sega's Alien Syndrome. The game is appearing on both the Wii and the PSP. The sci-fi shooter game follows Earth Command Trooper Aileen Harding as she takes on aliens (hence the title). And from the screenshots, the PSP's version looks crisper, cleaner, better.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
I'm sorry, but this is retarted. Alien Syndrome is one of the worst looking games I've ever seen. Any comparisons using it are invalid. Especially from a blog pretending to be news.
Real silly. You must be extremely delusional to think the Psp has better graphics than the Wii. goes like this: Psp <- Ps2 <- Gamecube (check RE:4, much better on GC) <- Wii.
are they saying the PSP GFX GPU are equal to the Wii's GPU?
SHOCKING!
the one that put this on the net is just trying to start a freaking flame war.
what kind of idiot is that?
btw this game is already BAD looking!
This is stupid as hell the freaking Gamecube has better graphics than the PSP.
The president of Totally Games, who is making Alien Syndrome, said this w/ regard to graphics:
"A number of graphics enhancements and additional animations will also be made for the Wii version... The game's level design takes full advantage of the crisp, beautiful widescreen display of the PSP to create stunning environments the likes of which have not been seen on a handheld before."
Pretty vague if u ask me. One thing's for sure, screenshots don't convey animation nor how level design takes advantage of the PSP's display.
