ZeldaFreak Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 New images; Those screenshots, my my how they burn my eyes. Another developer not being arsed in pushing the graphical powers of the wii again.
Cube Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 New images. From the PS2 version. The Wii has a different (nicer looking) HUD.
motion Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I actually think those new images don't look too bad actually. Compare this sky: to this one... LOL, even Pilotwings 64 looks better than this crap (W.I.)

LOL, even Pilotwings 64 looks better than this crap (W.I.) Don't ou realise its all about gameplay not graphics. LOL Nah I know what you mean but HeatSeeker looks like it could of produced those visuls on the cube. I want better graphic considering the wii is supposed to be 2-3 times as powerful as the gc.
motion Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Not another one of those arguments? I know it's all about graphics. Let's look at it this way... Heetseeker with fantastic gameplay + shit graphics. Heetseeker same fantastic gameplay + amazing graphics. Which would you choose? Graphics enhance a agame, I'm not saying Wing Island will be crap because of the visuals (although they're SO bad I'm tempted). Graphics are an integral part to gaming, just as sound, replay-value etc... are.

Amen to that brother
motion Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 It's weird how there's the exact same explosion in the bottom right of all six pics.
Cube Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 This game looks so crap. Yea, the graphics of the PS2 version look crap. Luckily, the Wii version looks better.
gaggle64 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Ues, the devs need to clearer to everyone which shots are from where.
Konfucius Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 What just came to my mind: Wouldn't it be great to have an actual joystick for these kind of games, or that you could hold the Wiimote like one? I think it would add a lot to the atmosphere.
SimonM7 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Still, Burnout + Top Gun echoes in my head. I suppose Afterburner really has that covered though... Where's Climax 360!?
Kav Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 What just came to my mind:Wouldn't it be great to have an actual joystick for these kind of games, or that you could hold the Wiimote like one? I think it would add a lot to the atmosphere. This is what I've been wanting from a flight game on Wii! Controlling like you would an actual fighter jet (albeit with a few less switches and what not! haha!), having dog-fights online against each other!
Hellfire Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 What just came to my mind:Wouldn't it be great to have an actual joystick for these kind of games, or that you could hold the Wiimote like one? I think it would add a lot to the atmosphere. I once saw a 3rd party prototype somwhere. Or maybe it was a mock up, who knows.
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 It will almost be 10% less fun to play because of the bad graphics. Almost.
raven_blade2006 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 The top right picture from that group above looks quite impressive.
Serebii Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Indeed. This game does look nice graphically. If you think otherwise, then its your eyes that are the problem
Cube Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Heres the weird thing, NGamer and nRevolution have screenshots from the Wii version of the game, yet I have yet to see any on the internet.
mcj metroid Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 am i the only person who thinks those screens look rather nice(not the wing island one)
Konfucius Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 am i the only person who thinks those screens look rather nice(not the wing island one) No, I'm also rather positively surprised by these graphics, and they are from the PS2 Version right? Now what would be really neat if they actually went the extra mile and did the clouds with volumentric fog, after all the GC could do that with little performance hit and I think this would make for an awesome feeling.
ZeldaFreak Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Indeed. This game does look nice graphically. If you think otherwise, then its your eyes that are the problem No offence but most hardcore gamers have been living in the era of HD. And this game will suck because a) its a port b) looks comparable to one of the titles to come out on the GC mid stream.
Teppo Holmqvist Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Now what would be really neat if they actually went the extra mile and did the clouds with volumentric fog, after all the GC could do that with little performance hit and I think this would make for an awesome feeling. Here is what team has to say about Wii version. RG: It’s known that the Wii version shows better modelled planes. Which other graphical improvements have been included compared to the PS2 version? AW: Because the Wii’s just got more power under the hood, we were able to improve the explosions, the missile trails, the clouds, we added better water effects –you can see the crest of the wave when you fly really low-… and then you get also a better resolution of the planes, and have been added self-shadowing. But not just that. We also then looked to the colour palette that we use: the Wii, coming from Nintendo, has got a really rich -lush, you know- colour spin. We wanted brilliant skies, that wonderful seas in the Caribbean. It’s a fairly saturated game, it’s more colourful, more appealing, just more striking to the eye.

Well, luckily I don't have and HD TV, so I guess this game will be awesome for me .
Teppo Holmqvist Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Well, luckily I don't have and HD TV, so I guess this game will be awesome for me . I'm pretty much insulted when every 16-18 years old kid thinks he is somewhat "hardcore" because he plays FPSs and GTA's, and has spent 800 euros to new television set. When I was young, hardcore player meant player who loved games and was willing to put time to their games instead of playing easily digestiable shit. We loved games and couldn't give flying fuck about was the game "kiddie" or "mature" so long as it was good. Hardcore is thse days just cheap marketing term that is pretty much redunant.
