Wii's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare screens can't be helped

by Justin McElroy on Aug 19th 2009 12:00PM

So, we've got the first screenshots of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on Wii, collected in a gallery for your enjoyment below. And to think, we were worried that they wouldn't be able to approach the look of Modern Warfare on the 360 and PS3! Can you imagine?

All jokes aside ... have a look at the dead guy in the foreground of the above shot. Does something look a little odd to you? Perhaps a closer look is in order. And those clouds? Didn't we see them in our Betamax copy of Apocalypse Now. Sure, old flat gun here looks like he's in a real screenshot, but if you think about it, that's even more terrifying.

Proof?

This game looks pretty umm, graphically challenged. I like CoD 4, though, so I'll probably still pick this one up.

from a blog at IGN:

____________________________________________________________________________________

Everything is IN!!

- - gamescom version is "almost beta" (so forget about those awful screens)

- nothing taken down from the original version, everything included: every multiplayer map, every multi mode, all the original IA in single mode, all campaign mode from PS360

- DLC not included. Neither Wii Speak/Motionplus.

- Keep evolving Treyarchs engine is one of the ports reasons. Graphic improvements in some textures resolution, general performance, new particle effects. (It looks pretty similar to WaW to me ATM). 30 fps.

- WaW connections numbers on Wii over any expectation, complete surprise and one of the reasons for this game/multi

- online improvements: now up to 10 players, host migration and possibility to invite connected friends

- team is similar to WaWs: from 25 to 30 people

- IWs role: giving engine code last year, MW code now and some supervision

- control: everything is configurable, ala Conduit. Smoother and better. All parameters, new scope setting. Up to 6 presets: from greenhorn to insane;

- squad mate mode is back. Zapper also compatible with single player

- CG/VA/sound effects/ OST from PS360.

- no camera allowed, more stuff soon.

But WAIT...there's MORE!!!

Looks like PURE SHIT.

Another strike against the Wii.

I really wish I hadn't been so enamored by it. It's doing NOTHING in my house now.

I mean... It can't even manage 720p. How do you think it looks on a bad-ass 1080p TV? Even with component cables.

Nintendo Wii = EPIC FAIL OF GIMMICKY PROPORTIONS.

that soldier looks really bad. really low-res

This really looks bad, admittingly. But, it's early, Treyarch has some time yet to get their act together and improve.

One thing to keep in mind, Treyarch essentially used COD4 for 360 as the foundation to building WaW for the Wii. So, after all is said and done, I'd truly be surprised if they can't bring it at least up to the playability and visual quality of WaW on the Wii.

I'm excited to use the MP5 with my Wii Remote, so sue me.

Wow, everyone commenting about how bad this looks, doesn't know a thing
These are beta screenshots, so they have a lot more to work on with the graphics and everything, so the game will end up looking a lot better than this.
