The Wii Finally Matches the 360 In Graphics

FG From CriousGamer Wrote....While much has been said in the Press and amongst gamers regarding the Wiis Graphical prowess,the latest First Person Shooter to grace the console is packing quite the visual punch.

But it sure deserves a Humongous Haaaaaa Haaaaaaa !!!

lol.

[qface64]

lol hey i like the conduit and i think it looks pretty good

but hey come on now lets not go overboard by saying it matches the 360 in graphics

[Snoops the Sniggerin]

The Conduit most definitely looks as good as launch titles for both 360 and Ps3,I was watching Giantbombs quick look and it looks VERY good in motion.

[yippie1234y]

just because a 360 game that didn't look great resembles the conduit?

i seen ds games that look better then wii games.

[shocky16]

Apart from SMG there hasn't even been a Wii game to graphically top the original Xbox's top tier games.

[GayASSAdmins]

Who APPROVED that crap? this is a joke If you have the little common sense you would know that this is impossible.

[-Mezzo-]

it says that the game matches to the graphics to the early Xbox 360 titles.

[Snoops the Sniggerin]

Call of Duty 2(which has 60fps if I'm not mistaken)looks about the same as The Conduit,and it was a launch title:

@mezzo

based on what criteria? Those blurry screenshots you provided on the site? Learn to troll better next time.

[Steve007]

IT written all over the place to click image to vie the bigger sized image, you just made a fool of yourself.

[-chaz-]

I don't think the Conduit looks anywhere as near as good as PD0 did, no matter how many crappy photos you compare it to.

[Steve007]

I believe that CHAZ you're the biggest Fanboy i have seen around here. correct me if i am wrong.

[-chaz-]

@Steve007

LOL...Clearly you haven't been reading too much of N4G then. This story and the site its on is a joke.

[heroicjanitor]

Are wii fanboys actually trying to say the wii is as good graphically as the 360? GTFO the original xbox had a faster processor than the wii, I could say the ds has as good graphics as the wii by picking the wii's worst looking game and comparing it to the ds's best looking game. The conduit graphics are worse than God of War for the ps2.

[Nike]

Why, of all games, did they choose Perfect Dark Zero and not the best looking games on the platform (a la, Gears of War)? Even Halo 3 looks better.

If it was intentional, then think about this: Would you feel better hearing that the current best of your console is supposedly superior (and not by much, if you wanna play screenie comparison) to another's worst of 4 years ago?

Totally subjective opinion, and very misleading. At least "ABC Console is failing" articles try to back up their opinions from time to time (even if they have little to no originality most times).

I like how everyone's forgetting that the Wii title is running in standard Definition, while the 360 title is running in high definition.
Which, in actuality, kind of points out how fallacious the whole "high def!" argument really is. Proof that just because something is "HD" doesn't instantly make it better - a good standard definition title can look better than a bad high-definition title.

[shadow2797]

Wow Call of Duty 2 looks BAD. Games this generation have already come such a long way. I had no idea there was such a gap in visuals already. Crazy stuff.

[KingKionic]

hmm...

[manwich25]

they look more like PSP graphics

[EvilTwin]

There are some great details in Conduit (the gloves, water effects, ASE, decent guns and enemy models), but some of the locales leave a lot to be desired. For my money, MP3 still looks better (and yes, looks better than some 360 titles), based on art direction alone.

[markbob]

its fun but it matches the graphics of the original xbox not the 360

[Steve007]

WTF, i thought i read Playstation 3 instead of xbox 360 which would have been crazy, it's ok for now.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Sorry but I disagree and if anyone can come to this conclusion from those little pictures then you need a job spotting change from airplanes.

Man this blog site is total garbage!

[phantomexe]

It's far better then the first xbox but not quit on par with the 360.I'd say it close to a 360 launch title.It's a great game tho alot of fun and the online is a step in the right direction.The game is the best fps on the wii.If they learned a great deal from makeing the conduit wow the grinder going be great,now that they know ,they can push it further.

[ChickeyCantor]

" completely subjective flamebait "
LOVE this report, i mean aren't all blogs "subjective"?

[OGharryjoysticks]

flamebait!!!! the 360 sucks enough to be matched by the Wii :)

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Many launch 360 games were straight ports of PS2 and Xbox games, so I can understand the Conduit being as good as some of those. But that was 2005, and this is 2009. The Wii is still very far behind the 360 and PS3 in terms of graphics (although I must admit the Conduit looks beautiful).

[Elven6]

You have so much more room to work with when you don't need to render a HD resolution, even then you can't say the Wii can compare to anything on the Xbox 360 or PC.

I highly doubt even budget developer tools can lay claim to this.

[jack who]

funny in so many ways...hmmm no the wii will never NEVER match the 360 in graphics NEVER!!!

you can find more crappy shoots of pdz to try to make you feel happy about your wii

ps: wii would die trying to run PDZ at 1080i(oh wait....wii cant even do 720p)

[arsenal55]

LOL at this article. no.

[Pootangpie]

and honestly the is still even less powerful then the orignal Xbox it's pretty much a gamecube 1.5 in hardware specs

[swiftshot93]

that said, Metroid Prime 3 is one of the most beautiful looking games I've ever seen.

[GayASSAdmins]

this is a joke.

[-Mezzo-]

It is funny how everyone is forgetting that the article talks about the games released early on 360. not the ones released in the last 18 months.

[xlx-russ_92]

lol wut
