A powerful PC doesn't only mean better graphics and resolution than HD consoles, it also means better sound, better animation, number of enemies on the screen, fps and texture. Art style will not make up for those other factors.
Why do you think Oblivion has such bad load times on 360? It only has 512mb system RAM and 512mb video ram so it can't store much in memory compared to the PC version. Instead you continually reload off the disc.
If you can make these poin...
If graphics mattered this much you'd all be PC gamers with dual Radeon 4870 cards (each individually has 2 GPUS) running in crossfire for 2gb vram and 4 total gpus, with a quad-core overclocked processor and gigs of ram. One of those video cards murders any console.
Apparently there is some reason besides graphics you have chosen to play an HD console instead of a PC. That is the same argument everyone makes to defend the wii yet few HD console owners accept it in that contex...
Virtua Tennis + Grand Slam tennis both use it dude and they've been out for a few weeks. Rather well too (only played Grand Slam I guess V.T. isn't as good).
Wii Sports Resort is much deeper in terms of control than a collection of minigames. I hated wii sports and this completely surprised me. Don't mistake it for minigames.
"I disagree oobob. I never felt immersed in any Wii game yet. Besides that, I play tennis myself. If I want to be immersed in tennis, I'll just pick up my racket and go to the courts. I want to be immersed in an experience that I would not normally do. Maybe once Real Motion Plus is utilized in a game other than Tiger Woods may I feel that immersion."
M+ is utilized in wii sports resort and EA Grand Slam Tennis + Virtua Tennis 2009 which are out now and have been for a ...
I agree 100% with the M+ comments. I just got done with No More Heroes and playing swordfighting in Sports Resort with M+ makes it feel like a total joke. I can't believe how fun and accurate this game is.
Try EA Grand Slam Tennis if you like a tennis game, I just got it and it's fun. Not perfect but damn close and by far the best reproduction out right now.
A reviewer actually said he had the same problem and it fixed it. It was even the same direction. He used it as an opportunity to tell everyone he wasn't sucking at the game and they could shut up :)
The wiimotion plus is really good at detecting spin. They have an entire bowling minigame where they put barriers up that move and block the ball and you have to spin it around them and time the throw just right. They also have 100 pin bowling for the satisfaction of just knockin...
I was gonna skip the airplane till you said it or my gf got back to dogfight. My God that is great! They need to make a flight sim using this. The jet ski game is incredible. Turning the wiimote throttles! I ride a motorcycle so naturally I love this. And I used to play waverace obsessively for n64.
I am so glad I bought a wii. I've had it 2 months and it really hasn't disappointed.
"Graphical comparisons between the Wii and the HD consoles have always been irrelevant, not because the Wii somehow "makes up" for its lack of graphical power with neat cel-shaded graphics, but rather because the Wii does NOT make up for its graphics in any way, shape, or form."
The immersive controller makes up for the graphics enough that we still prefer our wiis to any other HD console. It draws us into the game more than eye candy ever could. And I have ...
Either a mouse or IR pointer is pretty much necessary to control a FPS in any reasonably way. Unless you like tap...tap...tapping the analog sticks to death. Dual analog threatens to kill hardcore games as it stands.
The table tennis is great, but I'm shocked you didn't mention the sword fighting. It's ridiculously addictive.
You forgot the most dangerous part: being friendly towards the wii.
"I find it pathetic that you believe the ps3 can't go past 720p you should actually pull your head out of your ass before making a claim as stupid as that, reading your other posts its not too surprising.
I suggest you look up wipeout hd or marvel ultimate alliance, i see 1080p on the box of mua and no other resolution is listed, but it gets killed by countless 720p games in graphics."
It can't go past 720p in a real cpu intensive game. Oblivion runs 720p ...
Personally, I hate HD console gamers because they're hypocrites. They invade the wii topics and talk about amazing graphics and won't listen to any arguments about gameplay or innovation. Now us wii/PC gamers come here to see some actually next-generation graphics and I see HD console fans making the *exact* same argument about gameplay that they'd never accept from any wii owner.
Replace PC with PS3 and PS3 with wii and it's the exact same crap but they've switched sides. The...
"But everyone that can play it talks about how it looks so good. Do they ever talk of how innovative it is? No because it is standard FPS crap."
This is exactly what we say when you invade the wii section and you totally ignore it. You guys pollute everything. Can't I just check for my PC and wii gaming news without you mouth breathers talking about your precious cell?
"i can play all the kickass games produced by sonys 1st party and all the multiplats (even if i have to take a slight, and i stress slight downgrade in graphics compared to a very expensive pc)"
The resolution you get on PC in games like Oblivion is better than 1080p, where as Oblivion on PS3 is natively rendered in 720p. Most (I believe all but I'm hedging my bets) blockbuster PS3 games are rendered in 720p, which I was playing in last generation. On top of that PC g...
The current xbox people are getting the E74 error instead of the RROD.
"We (console gamers)have beautiful games that ALSO have incredible gameplay ie Killzone 2/the Uncharted franchise."
Both are requirements for every successful PC FPS shooter, the difference being we can run them in better than 1080p, where as most console FPS games are natively rendered in 720p or less. Or we can turn down the resolution and get 60-70fps, which no console matches for FPS gameplay. And aiming is a joke on a controller - console FPS games have aim assis...
"You say that the controls immerse you imagine if you werent looking at a cartoon."
Of course I would like better graphics. But you are not really considering how unrealistic a tennis game played on controller is if you're suggesting the graphics are what really detract from the experience.
In Grand Slam Tennis with M+ I spin or slice the ball by twisting the wiimote in a swing. Without follow-through the ball bounces off the racket wildly - just like in ...
