Daft Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Xbox Gamecube Wii lol, that is utterly third rate. I can't remember the last time I had to worry about games having bad graphics with the 360/PS3 tbh. I've been amazed by stand out ones, but never worried about lame ones.
Ganepark32 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 That's the PS2 version of Resi Evil 4, probably the worst looking of the releases, and it still looks better than this does but then Resi Evil 4 still looks better than virtually every Wii game bar a select few. Granted, the character models look decent enough, it's just the lack of detailing and overall polish are really not doing this any favours. I'm guessing that this hasn't had much time in development. I'd say Treyarch will have had only a couple of months to get the job done before release. So you could blame both developers and publisher, but I think the problem lies with Activision coming up with the idea at what must have been a very late stage.
Shino Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 lol, that is utterly third rate. I can't remember the last time I had to worry about games having bad graphics with the 360/PS3 tbh. I've been amazed by stand out ones, but never worried about lame ones. And it also helps to disguise crappy games.
Daft Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Activision are scum. And it also helps to disguise crappy games. Yeah, totally. Just slather it with enough bloom to make your eyes implode and apply enough shine to make it look like every NPC has been laminated and you're there.
Emasher Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) The Vegetation and Character models look awful. The character models probably would look better with nicer textures though. Otherwise, it doesn't look that bad. I think it will look decent enough in motion. The Screenshots don't look any worse than the W@W ones. Edited August 19, 2009 by Emasher
Cube Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Oh dear. Especially at the character textures - the DS character textures actually are better than the Wii ones.
Daft Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 It really isn't that far off an iPhone game. Are they doing a PSP/iPhone port? That'd be quite cool actually.
DazzeL Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 You know, I was willing to let Activision off for the blatent easy cash-in that this was always supposed to be. Now though, this is shocking. What a slap in the face. Treyarch have no story to compose, text to write, features to invent or balancing to test, all they have to do is make the thing look presentable. So far.... EPIC FAIL.
killer kirby Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Activision obviously just announced the game Treyarch perhaps were busy making something else when the CEO told them a month ago to make a modern warefare game for the Wii and needs to be done in 2 months time. This game shouts out (We had fuck all time to make it!!!) Which is a damn shame.

This game shouts out (We had fuck all time to make it!!!) Which is a damn shame. Exactly. I really doubt they've been working on this since they finished W@W. Edit: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=17198462&postcount=426 No Wii Speak, or DLC, But it will have customizable controls (Like The Conduit). Otherwise they say its going to be as close to the original as possible, minus the graphics, and some of the online stuff (Voice Chat, Number of Players, ect.). Edited August 19, 2009 by Emasher
Goron_3 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Interesting details over at GoNintendo (probs the same ones that Emasher just posted). The highlight of the article was: 'Nothing removed from original game' which was then followed by '10 players online'. Ha.
Emasher Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 If the only negative differences are the graphics, the number of players online, and the lack of voice chat, that doesn't really sound all that bad to be fair.
LostOverThere Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I still think it's pathetic. Granted, not a lot of developers are doing it, but c'mon guys, implement Wii Speak. It surely can't be that hard! As for the graphics, yeah, they stink. Granted, they'll look better in motion but it's quite sad. What happens when you get your hopes up.
Strange Cookie Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Apparently, those are alpha-screens. Heard that one before, though... *cough*Conduit*cough* Still, the lack of WiiSpeak is mindboggling. It's not a disease-spreading peripheral, is it? Why are developers so reluctant to implement it? And I see the pointed-knee syndrome returns. They did a great job on WaW. Perhaps MW is that one step too far? I hope the first footage can sway me, but at the moment it's a 'Thanks, but no thanks' for me. The problem is that it feels more like an interesting lab-experiment (Hmmm, AAA-next gen to Wii?).
Dyson Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 If the only negative differences are the graphics, the number of players online, and the lack of voice chat, that doesn't really sound all that bad to be fair. lol. ☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻
Zechs Merquise Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 They said the game isn't even at Beta yet. What's more all the game modes are going to be in, and the multiplayer is up to 10 from 8, so all in all, I'm looking forward to this. I really enjoyed WAW on the Wii and as this will no doubt improve on it, I will be picking it up. As COD3 and CODWAW did over a million I hope this will too.
dazzybee Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I want this to fail abysmally. I simply see this as nothing but a complete disgrace, I can't believe Wii owners are getting a stripped down 2 year ld port. Honestly, I just think it's appalling.
Emasher Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Its not really stripped down though, from what they're saying. They seem to be keeping in as much as they can. The online is obviously going to take a small hit because of Nintendo's system (although its Activision's fault for not using Wii Speak). The only thing that people seem to be not liking is the graphics. And the screenshots look very similar to the W@W screens for the Wii.
tissuetown Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Guys, we will show you alpha/beta build of a game that is supposed to come out in 2 and a half months. Don't kid yourself lol
Kav Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I want this to fail abysmally. I simply see this as nothing but a complete disgrace, I can't believe Wii owners are getting a stripped down 2 year ld port. Honestly, I just think it's appalling. You know what? I'm in agreement! We're getting a 2yr old game the same day it's sodding sequel comes out! That's a joke! If they sell this at full price it's also an insult! Why couldn't they just let Treyarch handle Modern Warfare 2 for the Wii?! Why go for the first?!
Pyxis Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 That doesn't look like CoD4 to me. I wonder what the bit with the nuclear explosion will look like.
Ganepark32 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Well Activision have come out and said that if Wii owners want Modern Warfare 2 on the Wii then they're gonna have to go out and buy this. I'm in no doubt that this will probably match W@W's sales but I just think it's disgusting that Activision are basically baiting us by saying we have to buy this in order to get the second one.
Zechs Merquise Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 So much hate! Yet it's a gem of a game and for Wii only gamers it'll be great.
mcj metroid Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 So much hate! Yet it's a gem of a game and for Wii only gamers it'll be great. no it won't... most gamecube games were better looking than this.. Ok i'll ignore graphics and yes it looks kinda ok... but I can't.. they're so shitty!
Retro_Link Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Well Activision have come out and said that if Wii owners want Modern Warfare 2 on the Wii then they're gonna have to go out and buy this.Ah what's the point, we won't get it MW2 until MW3/COD6 anyway!
