Um, what is this? I'm starting to get a little bit annoyed that their treating the Wii like a PS2 - I mean even the gamecube had better looking games, and the Wii is more powerful than a gamecube, so there is no excuse.

Metroid Prime, a game from 2002 - on a platform from last generation looks better than that pile of crap. What the hell is going on? Why is the Wii getting treated like crap? Like ****, put some effort into your damn titles and stop rushing out crap for a quick buck, your just making yourself look bad and making a fool of yourselves.

Out of all three of the consoles, the Wii is the one which isn't even meeting its full potential because these big, well known developers are idiots.

You want to see how you make a game look good on the Wii? You look at companies that are actually trying, like the following example:

http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/975/975995/little-kings-story-20090424034441323_640w.jpg

Honestly it is beyond pathetic that a lot of these games aren't even passing gamecube standards and barely meeting what makes a PS2 game look good.

Some of you will say graphic's arent important, you're right they arent but when we start seeing the lazyness of big developers versus smaller, less known developers it becomes an issue.

Some of you might also say well its the hardwares fault - no its not, as I've told you there are gamecube games, hell, even PS2 games that look better than a lot of Wii games and its becoming rather pathetic.

And its honestly sad that these smaller developers can't afford to have a game do bad sales wise - and they suffer while idiots like Activision get away with releasing a two year old port of a game that barely meets PS2 standards and will sell millions of copies on the games name alone.

Thats my rant. Tell me what you think in the comments below.

The Wii is a 'cash-in' system for anyone that wasn't on-board from the start. Only their sales has made people rethink the Wii as a viable system... and why? because they want to cash in on it. As such, you get a few gems that live up to their potential and a lot of crap otherwise.

My take? Only exclusives and high quality get plays on my Wii. Everything else is usually done better elsewhere.

Face it, people think the wii's not even based on graphics and its true. And, 70% of WII games are crap anyway.

I agree! Some games are very pretty but a lot of companies need to utilize the Wii's assets like developers for the PS3 and XBOX360 are and produce quality games!

Yup the graphics in that game are absolutely atrocious.
Can't believe how **** it looks. Wii is becoming a cash in for these companies.

What is also sad is that this game will sell 5 times more then little kings story.

My, that does look like ****...

I'm not as enthralled about COD4 Wii compared to what Activision thinks, but the Wii has so much potential and can pull off things that the PS3 and 360 can't and it's a shame it's reduced to this...

*sigh* game devs are just trying to make a quick buck off the Wii without even thinking about fans. With CoD4 their just going after all the gamers out there wish the could have been one of those to actually get the game when it came out.Now that it's been announced they're all rejoicing when really it's a big slap in the face getting a 2 year old stripped-down port with crappy (at best) graphics.

@SagaRain - thats not true - The Wii has a very under rated library by gamers around.

@David_99 - YES! More LKS for everyone, lol. I wish Best Buy and Future Shop sold it too.. its kind of odd that they don't..

I agree completely with you. Little King Story is the best looking game on the whole console, if Xseed can do it why not the other companies.

I dislike Activision more and more these days, but yes it is unfortunate that big companies can get away with being lazy when it comes to wii games, but the sad truth is that people will still buy it even if it is inferior. And i always felt that anyone who releases a FPS game is playing it safe IMO, since they know it will sell regardless of the quality.

I guess so.

Oh don't remind me

Almost all the good-looking games on the Wii are First-party games....

And about the "no excuse" part...I couldn't agree more, if the GC could pull off graphics like Resident evil 4....then the Wii should at least 3x better graphics. SMG 2 looks amazing though.....

very true!! The only good looking games are from Nintendo. Most of third-party games are crap in graphics and content
Posted Aug 19, 2009 2:12 pm PT
Games like that make the decision to sell my Wii even easier. It will be interesting to see if Nintendo caves in the next few years and releases a console that is on par with Sony/Microsoft or if they continue their own thing.
Posted Aug 19, 2009 2:36 pm PT
Well I'll say it hear. Low Budget games/Little Developers and Low Budget films, are the only ones trying. This is where you see the original ideas, and effort. Example; Little King's Story, Muramasa, 500 Days of Summer, and District 9.

The fact that the graphics worse then Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 and even World at War (which wasn't a good looking game) is just sad. Heck Resistance PSP looks better in some spots. Did they just started working on this crap recently or something? I think Wii owners should just stick with World at War.

Amen. I'm tired of seeing piss-poor efforts by developers.
Posted Aug 19, 2009 4:35 pm PT
They treat the wii like the Under Dog. PS3 and Xbox 360 gets all the good games, while the Wii gets the scraps.
Posted Aug 19, 2009 7:08 pm PT
The true is if Nintendo itself isn't putting enough effort into the system then I really don't blame third party developers for their laziness. It all come down to money, all developers and publishers want to earn money so if there is an easy way why not do it, after all I don't think they are developing for the sake of the gamer but for the sake of money , that is my opinion though

I agree with raahsnavy. I think that the reason why they dont try harder to make games better on the wii is because its easy to develop and it takes less time.
Posted Aug 20, 2009 7:25 am PT
What I think is a problem is the developers aren't trying they could easily make a game like they do on the PS3 or 360 for half the price on the Wii and release it it would sell well and they wouldn't have to sell as much on the Wii as they would on the PS3 or 360 to break even.
