A few years ago, when 3D graphics were still in their infancy, it was funny to joke about how awful sex games would be. Now we have HD graphics, amazing polygon counts, incredible dynamic lighting, and a whole list of other things that make 3D rendering technology incredible.
And Jenna's face still looks like a cartoon version of Michael Jackson wearing a yellow hair-helmet. Whoops.
This is fantastic, I've been waiting forever for PDO and JSRF to be added. I'm a bit miffed as to why the craptacular graphics of Silent Hill 2 are still too much for the 360's emulation engine, but this is still great news.
If there are people in this world who are willing to pay thousands for a $500-600 machine, then there's a problem with society and with those individuals, not with the people who profit off of their idiocy. Stop trying to criminalize people because they took an opportunity to make some easy money. The only ones to blame here are the idiots willing to blow grands to play Genji before anyone else, thereby facilitating the kind of hype and hysteria that caused incidents like this.
He probably just means that the lighting model is a little improved or the texture resolution has been upped a bit, or something minor like that. It sounds like a bold claim, but if you take it literally, he's really not saying much of anything.
It's not really a fair comparison because I think most Wii games that have been demoed so far haven't tried to perfectly mimic the user's moves but to translate them into usable game actions. And they do that for the sake of making the games fun, which is what Wii sports will be all about. The game in the demo looks dull, boring, and cumbersome; whereas Wii tennis is bright, colorful, and simple. I definitely want to see games on the Wii where users control things directly, but not if it's going to make the whole game feel clunky and akward.
Also, the first part of the demo in which he's spinning his racket looks VERY laggy.
