this game had 30 people and 6 months to do the port id say that isnt no where near enough time to make the best of the wii god the 360 wouldnt even get this far with 6 months and 30 people so the wii is a strong platform that activision/EA keep under using the graphics MP3 corruption smokes this in graphics and that is 60fps this is 30fps but thiere isnt anything in that video that couldnt have been sorted with 6 more months and more than 30 peop;e to work on the game its a big game and what activision have done isnt fare but if the wii can do this in basically a quarter of the time really needed to do such a game imagine a ground up call of duty with this engine improved wow it would stand right next to the best looking shooters out there all day long easy not seing a big difference in graphics on that video

quantumriian -- You're right about developers pushing the Wii with games like Corruption and Conduit. But those are ground-up affairs. A game is always going to look better when it's built specifically for one console and plays to that hardware's strengths.

This was a port, with code intended for much more powerful hardware. All things considered, I think Treyarch did a very good job.

Also, this game has a LOT more going on than Conduit. There are more maps, the maps are much bigger (some of Conduit's maps could comfortably sit in one of Reflex's and only take up half the space -- or less), air strikes are constantly being brought in, and the overall architecture is much more intricate.
[Plus, the online is far superior. Even without voice chat. You don't spawn off the map or in walls. Nor do you wait 7 or 8 minutes to get a match going.]

Corruption looks better and runs at 60 FPS, but for the most part, it's about exploration, not combat.

All of that said...damn, what I wouldn't give to see Treyarch get the keys to the car and build something specifically for Nintendo's console.

I think part of it was that developers expected Wii to fail. They moved on and made their investments in upgraded game engines for the HD consoles. They could squeeze more out of each console last gen when the hardware was similar.

Now, they aren't building with that in mind. They're building up to the standards of the 360 or PS3, then porting down for the Wii.

OTOH, a developer like Retro is building UP only; they're not starting with a far superior graphical engine and cutting it down. They're starting with PS2/GC/XB-era tech and supercharging it. You can clearly see the difference in a game like Corruption. It looks similar to the last gen efforts, but it's gotten smoother and more polished.

MWR would've looked better if the game engine was from super polishing COD2-era graphics, not porting down COD4-era graphics.

You're on the money with TPS and RTS, IMO. The possibilities are so much greater with the Wii remote. But developers mostly aren't going back to their old tech. They'd rather port down. And it does make business sense, because it's cheaper.

Seriously... there really is no notable difference... and certainly not so much that you want to sacrifice your hard earned money for an RROD-Box. :O)
