Yes, true, MS target audience is definitely in the 12-16 year old bracket, the age where they get on Xbox Live to call people faggots and scream at their mom for their "fucking chocolate milk". Sorta like Optimus Prime! As soon as those kids grow out of puberty they're all over Nintendo again.
"even the best looking 3D games on DS (FFIII, Mario Hoops) look like complete ass."
This is exactly the kind of thing the article is talking about. Those games have great art direction, they really made it work, but then there are people like you slagging it off because it doesn't have enough polygons and the resolution isn't high enough. Low res does not equal "looks like ass", at least not unless you're a total tech spec geek.
Next thing you'll be saying impressionist paintings look like complete ass, because they don't use enough brush strokes, and lack detail.
"Thats the dumbest looking character I've ever sen."
Don't worry son, "hollywood tough guy with guns" and "boobie babe" are still there for you in at least 200 new game releases this year. Just the same trusty old archetypes like you've been used to for years and years and years. No danger of anything scary and different.
"Oh bm, you totally schooled my n00b ass. I've never seen a screen that was obviously doctored to look the way it does...oh wait...yes I have...in fact I called this one too, and you quoted it, and then verified it, and then talked to me like I DIDN'T call it...touche, that is the first time that's been done to me."
Whoooaa there, easy, boy. Back off slowly.
You said it's "clearly not ingame", I disputed your definition of "ingame" because these -are- the actual game graphics. Even if they are running on a devkit with the resolution turned up. But whatever, semantics. About my other comment, I said we've seen it before because each time this happens people seem to jump on it and need to point it out for some reason, while it's obviously a common thing.
But hey, I hear this is a sport around here lately, so uhh. You suck, penisface!
"Clearly not in-game screens, but I like the idea, kinda gets me psyched."
Well, it's ingame, except with a cranked up resolution. It's the same with like 80% of all other screenshots released to the public, if you haven't noticed by now.
"Wii=sucks."
"you are defending this games"
Uhhh....I'm sure there's some sorta joke or irony or something in there that I don't get?
They're -going- to compose music for it? Meaning that the old score has been thrown out? Again? Or is it just that they haven't actually started on the music yet in the ten years it's been in development?
Guys, guys...the 3D part just looks bad because you're seeing it directly compared to the 2D part. 3D ALWAYS looks like fucking shit compared to its 2D art, in any game. 3D just sucks like that.
When you look at the 3D by itself for a while, you'll get used to it, like with any other game.
"like most negative comments on this site, I'll just assume that 95% of the people bitching about this are people that don't own/don't like Wii in the first place."
