First screens of 'The Incredible Hulk' on Wii

by Justin McElroy on Apr 7th 2008 5:30PM

True story: We were originally going to call this post "The Incredible Hulk on Wii looks like The Incredible Hulk on 360 and PS3, but worse," but we realized that if we did that, we would be hitting the nail so squarely on the head that we wouldn't have anything to say in the actual post. So ... these screenshots from The Incredible Hulk on Wii look like the ones from The Incredible Hulk on 360 and PS3, but, you know, worse.

Looks aside, all we actually want from the Wii version is really good Wiimote implementation, like being able to slam both 'mote and 'chuk down at the same time and destroy everything within a city block. Don't worry, we're not holding our breath. Check out all the screens below, we've added the next gen pics after the jump for your comparing pleasure.

No Comment...

You leave a comment that says, "no comment". I don't get it. You LEAVE a COMMENT that says, "no comment". Hmmm, I still don't get it.

My thoughts as well

Ug. Looks like shit.

Is Nintendo the only developer capable of making games that look good on the wii.

Which game looks totally awesome on the Wii? Maybe my HDTV is not working right...do tell please!

@mike
Shut the hell up you troll.

Is this the same dev who brought Crusin' to the wii?

I think Factor 5 will make a good looking game, but the developers for this game are just lazy, these graphics look early Xbox, even Halo beats these graphics down, and that was like 8 years ago.

lawl @ Wii version not being next gen.

FLAME WAR COMMENCE!

Ok here is my comment, Xbox games look better than this... They really need to try harder...

And, I like how the pictures are labeled Wii and Next Gen...

There may be xbox games that look better. But would this game run on an xbox and look this good? that's the question

True, I'm just saying that the Wii is more powerful than the Xbox, so why are the graphics PS2/PSP level, I understand that this is probably a port of the PS2 game but this is getting ridiculous...

A pile of garbage? Fitting...

Color me unimpressed. Those aren't even Gamecube-worthy graphics; what a pathetic attempt.

I know I'm gonna get slammed for this but did Nintendo miss muddy textures of their N64 era they just had to build hardware around giving that tech another shot?

You, sir, must learn the difference between nintendo and crappy 3rd party devs. Maybe there's an article in wikipedia about it.

Proclaiming you're probably getting slammed for it, is not gonna prevent you getting slammed when making an retarded comment. ;)

Then again, I'm gonna guess you're just trolling, so never mind.

Mr Niblequick... maybe I do...

maybe I don't....

bm, yeah... it's always funny to see who grabs onto these comments.

You really don't.

Wait, "an" retarded comment?

Thank god nobody noticed that one.

Oh.

well to be fair, both the wii AND the ps360 versions look terrible.

Not really. The PS360 version looks mighty fine to me. Keep in mind that those pictures of the PS360 version are a far cry from actual HD screenshots. That video they showed of the game in action a few days back made the game look very good, IMO. The Wii isn't even close here.

Nevermind about the HD... I figured out how to view the larger versions. The game looks good to me. Certainly far and away better than the Wii version.

the incredible hulk of steaming cdog crap, thats what the AVGN would say?

looks shit

Are you sure those aren't from the DS version?

Is this really that surprising? Haven't we learned anything from Spiderman 3?

I own a Wii. I have to agree with the comment that only nintendo knows how to make games look good. Though, I'm sure, with a bit of effort, third party devs could unleash the Wii's true power. Super Mario Galaxy could have been released for Xbox 360, easy.

Nintendo and Sonic Team

seriously, play Secret Rings, easily the best-looking 3rd-party title out there

This is odd, though, as this is SEGA too

I hate graphic whores. They should all be shot.
Shallow gamers walk this earth.

There's a massive difference between being a graphics whore and pointing out that a game looks like shit when it's obvious the developer was lazy and put in no effort, since there's zero excuse to have a game that looks somewhere between a PS1 and a N64 game in 2008 unless you're developing an obvious crappy budget title.

graphic whores drive the industry. If it wasn't for people demanding prettier gameplay (which, despite your snarky comment DOES add to the gameplay experience), Yamauchi would gladly be keeping us on the NES.

Seriously, the term graphic whore ranks right up their with wiitard and xbot. Let's put it this way, the past four generations, Nintendo had a graphical advantage (except muddy N64 textures but that wasn't the hardwares fault, it was the storage media). And people were proud of this, huzzah huzzah. You can't suddenly say graphics don't matter when your own favorite company spent the past four generations telling you they do.

And besides, what's wrong with being a poly pumper? An artistically beautiful game will stand the test of time. This shit? The grunge aliased to hell textures in combination with uninspiringly flat world design will be forgotten faster than a shareware compilation at Best Buy's jewel case software racks...

Sorry mr wong, but casual drive the market, and they don't care about graphics. Do you think all those people who bought the ps2 for ddr were counting polygons?

Seriously, do you think those shots look good? The Wii is capable of better; a lot of developers just aren't trying very hard to tap its potential.

Pointing out that those shots are ugly doesn't make someone a "graphics whore." And before you say "I don't care about graphics as long as the game is fun," keep in mind no one has said it wouldn't be.

It looks worse than Ultimate Destruction.

But then again, if you compare it with the "next-gen" pics there isn't actually much difference.

I think this is less that it is a Wii game and more that it is a video game made by SEGA.

Always makes me shed a tear. WTF happened 90's Era Sega?

You just going to keep on eating ice cream and getting fat forever?

:(

I have never cared much about graphics. It usually wears off after a few minutes, even HD. But this? It is pretty hard to look at without thinking it was made originally for the PSP. Completely unacceptable.

Wii more powerful than the original Xbox -- don't think so.

Wii doesn't even have the power to run any game in 720p/1080i which the original 'box was very capable of doing. For those that didn't know, that alone took more processing power than Wii would ever be able to do now. Hell, running 480p games now are a blurry mess of resolution in games now...

LOL!!!

**points finger at Wii screen shots***

LOL!!!

HA HA!

Hey I just checked gamestop and apparently the same developer is doing all but the DS version of the game! I mean hell, thats PC, 360, Ps3, wii, and Ps2...something had to give! I would not judge the wii against the 360 or xbox as some dumbasses have done as wii and ps2 are not capable of XBOX 1 graphics!

I would have gone with "incredible hulk made for the psp, but looked too shitty so was moved to wii."

Those graphics aren't too bad if you use your IMAGINATION!

oh man, that bus in the wii version looks totally shit. speaking of shit, why does the hulk look like spinach green baby poop in the next gen shots?

Unless you get some really bad clipping or anti-aliasing, I could care a less about having the greatest hi-res HD textures, etc. One of my most favorite games of all time is FF6 (FF3 in the US) and the characters were horrible little sprites with barely a face on them.

The story, character development and gameplay is what makes me go back and play FF6 decades later (on my Bravia HD tv no less). What is great graphics today looks like garbage tomorrow so trying to get the latest, greatest graphics is (to me) a worthless endeavor. I will take old graphics with "fun" gameplay any day of the week to HD graphics.

Psh, FF6 is about as much a game as pressing a button that rolls dice for you.

Sorry, that's just a dumb excuse. Graphics aren't everything, true, but they do matter and this is perfect example. Given the same game and environment, I'd much rather play the nicer looking version. This game is a perfect example. Your statement about gameplay over graphics is meaningless here... it's the same game!

@Chilly Willy

I totally agree with you.

IMO, Final Fantasy VI is still a great looking 2-d Rpg. I miss those days of gaming. I hate this generation of gaming. HD graphics don't mean SHIT!(IMO)

Wait, wasn't this the same generation that SNES was bragging about 32bit graphics in Killer Instinct and Donkey Kong Country, Starfox was so graphically advanced it needed a special chip on the ROM, and a special room hidden in Chrono Trigger bragged about how large that game was and how larger still Final Fantasy III will be? Yeah, it was?

Thought so. I'm getting really tired about hearing about this magical age when graphics didn't matter. I grew up in that age, you're spewing pure horse crap and you know it. The SNES vs. Genesis debates always ended with "SNES has better graphics."

Though the SNES claimed to have the best graphics for its time, the game makers managed to make the games FUN also.

Games these days are extremely SHORT and manage only to impress you with their graphics. Sure the gameplay is "fun," but will people go back 15-20 years from now and play the PS3 or Xbox360 version of this game because it was so fun? No, the graphic whores of today will look at the graphics of 15-20 years from now and say "2008 graphics iz teh suxors" (or something to that extent). So why is it that so many people go back and play NES and SNES games to this day? The graphics have nothing to do with it. The games were FUN!

@Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force)

Graphics aren't important to me. They never have and they never will be. (That's just me. I don't even own a stupid HD TV. If that even matters)

BTW, You should see my videogame collection.
