An Epic diss

I would say the correct term is "Current gen". Next gen is Wii2 (or whatever) , PS4, etc.

LOL. Dude. "They don't like selling software"

Have you seen the sales numbers for 3rd party Wii titles? Software on the Wii does not sell. That is known. People really do buy a Wii and then get bored of Wii Sports and then move on to other systems.

LOL Tom. And you know this because you only buy first party Wii games, or because you like to troll?

:P Tom, you seriously need to try other games. And not just the ones that suck.

It*

New-gen is the correct appellation, because "next" implies that it's not here yet. Before the 360, PS3, and Wii launched, we were playing our Gamecubes etc. talking about how exciting the "next generation" was *going to be*. Now it's here, and it's a newer generation than the previous one, hence it's "new-gen". I guess we could talk about "7th Generation" consoles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles_%28seventh_generation%29)
but most people aren't nerdy enough to keep track.

Preach on. Amen my friend. It's quite obvious that this man's doctorate wasn't in business.

Aw yeah! Couldn't agree more (Epic made Gears of war, right? The game that, you know, gets BORING AFTER A FEW WEEKS) :)

Anyways, I don't care. It's epic's loss really, not mine. I'll just keep playing high quality games on the Wii, instead of Epic's crappy, generic games. Capps = FAIL.

I'll just go play my Wii....THAT'S OVER 9 MONTHS OLD!!! Little more than 2 months,

for the last time geoff and all other 3rd party we dont make wii games anti wii pro ps3 marketing branwashed believers the wii is 2.5 times a gamecube if not more ,,stop looking at just a clockspeed the wii is pushing far more than a clock increase....
example: gc 16mb single channel access ram 8 bit bus 81 mhz no direct cpu gpu feed simple access/sound ram....81mb bandwidth....

wii 64mb dual channel main ram 32 bit 486mhz clock 4gb bandwidth thats no 1.5 thats like 15 times more powerful than a 16mb slow access ram right there

broadway re speced gekko not just over clocked hollywood re speced skrunk flipper not a mear over clock...

die embedded optermized 1t sram-r and many other little goodies that push the wii much further than gamecube

the wii simply is no xbox or gamecube its at least 2.5 times those consoles and no extra background work or resolution to process

gears of war charictor polygon counts 10k to 15k gamecubes leon 10k gamecubes charictors in pre rendered backdrops resident evil 0/1 27k polygon charictors

link twilight princess 7k can you see how close gamecube is to xbox 360 right there

add wiis extra power ram abbillitys cap at 480p

PRESTO GEARS OF WAR RUNNING IN FULL GLORY ON WII AT 480P

ANYONE STATES OTHERWISE IS ETHER BRAINWASHED OR JUST PLAIN DUM

LIKE NINTENDO STATED NEAR X360 GRAPHICS - HD AND THATS 100% FACT

WITH BETTER FRAMERATES AND LOADING SPEED DUE TO WIIS TIGHT DESIGN FAST DISC LOADING AND EXTREAMLY FAST RAM

THE WII NOR ANY OTHER CONSOLE FOR THAT MATTER REQUIRES A DAM FUKING HARD DRIVE ARE YOU ALL MENTAL FLASH DRIVES LEAVE HARDDRIVES FOR DUST THERES NOTHING STOPPING DEVS TAPPING WIIS FLASH DRIVE OR FLASH CARD FOR VIRTUAL MEMORY OR TEMP LARGE STORAGE

WHY WOULD WII REQUIRE A FUKING HARD DRIVE AGAIN PC BRAINWASHING WII AINT A PC ITS A CUSTOM BUILT CONSOLE CARNT YOU SEE THE DAM DIFFERENCE....

wii front side bus 243mhz plus 4to1 compresion = near 8gb bandwidth

xbox 133mhz front side bus no custom compression = 1gb plus as anyone who can count can see wii is near 8 times the xbox can you count 1 to 8 people hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm xbox or xbox 1.5 or gamecube 1.5

GROW UP SONY FANS YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT NOR DOES IDIOT MARK RAIN

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WIIS GRAPHICS ARE MUCH CLOSER TO 360 THAN XBOX 1 AND WIIS CONTROLS/GAMEPLAY ARE THE ONLY NEXT GEN CONTROLS AVALABLE

EPIC FEARS WIIS DOMINANCE OVER PC AND THE CONSOLE THEY BACKED WITH TRONS OF THERE CASH PS3

THEY GOT BURNT NOW THERE DOING SONYS DIRTY WORK PR

WII NEAR MATCHES PS3/360 VISUALLY IN REAL TIME WERE IT MATTERS ON YOUR TV AND KICKS THERE ASSES AT LOAD SPEED AND GAMEPLAY

SO I ASK WITCH ONE OF THE 3 COMPETING CONSOLES IS NEXT GENERATION AND WITCH 2 ARE STUCK IN THE PAST

NOT A HARD ONE REALLY IS IT

@101wiiboy2008

"TRONS OF THERE CASH"

+1 for that

What the hell, idiot? I said it IS next gen. Dolt.

It sure would be nice if it had at least one crappy FPS port. I'll take Unreal Tournament 3 over any game that I've played on the Wii. The only thing that comes remotely close is Metroid.

I upgraded my son's computer a few weeks ago so he could play Unreal Tournament 3 with me. Since then, he hasn't played the Wii once.

Ok, if you knew anything about computer graphics, you'd know that the "blur" effect is there to create more realism in the game. In real life, when you turn your head from left to right, the image is not a perfect, crisp image. There is blur. Try and learn something once in a while. (And yes, I do own a Wii, so don't bite back with some 360 or PS3 fanboy crap)

This is a video game. Not real life. Lets keep it like that.

So should that blur effect make me excited about the game? Because it honestly pisses me off. I don't understand why I can't get a clear picture when i change direction throughout a first person shooter of all genres instead of this blurry picture that really don't do me much good.

"Ok, if you knew anything about computer graphics, you'd know that the "blur" effect is there to create more realism in the game. In real life, when you turn your head from left to right, the image is not a perfect, crisp image. There is blur. "

Cut back on the sauce. That'll reduce your blur problem right there.

I wouldn't say blur is a realistic effect, I would say it's a Cinematic Effect. You know, to make things more dramatic : And it works well, and makes graphics look even better!

Mind you, the blur effect is a mere shortcut of graphical ingenuity (kind of like making a dark city: Everything "looks" more detailed if it's dark), but it gets the job done.
Sooo... the blur effect ain't bad, I find it neat and awesome... but I wouldn't add that to the arsenal of "graphical power", since all systems have been able to do that in some form since wayyy back when (it's just, no one even thought it would be worth the work).

Now, there's nothing wrong with great graphics. What's wrong is if GRAPHICS is all that has been improved, or if that was the main focus. Which I could see where the problem is with the Xbox 360 and PS3... but if you actually played them, you'd realize something: Most creators never really pushed the graphics as much as they SHOULD HAVE yet... in fact, you could possibly say most of them are lazy at this point.

And btw, not every Xbox360 has the ring of death. Not even half of them do.
Mine works perfectly. :)

And don't start with the whole "This is a video game, not real life" excuse. It's been overused by sooo many bratty kids who wanted to win a fight. Truth of the matter is: Video games are getting close to the point where it WILL become a part of our EVERYDAY lives (just like how TVs, computers, cellphones, and sound devices are now)... and it has one advantage over most medias: You can control it, all the way through. Which will allow a lot of advancements in science and technology (as they are already doing now).

Making an experience seem more real isn't a problem. It is a great step forward. Eventually, we can create holograms that are so close to the real thing, that it'd be impossible to tell the difference... why not start on a flat screen?
(BTW: we do have working interactive holograms already... there's just no way to make them cheap yet, and there's no high demand just yet)

Dude... it failed on PC too...
