Modern Warfare 3's graphics compared on Xbox 360 and... Wii?

GamesRadar writes: "Modern Warfare 3 is selling millions of copies, making billions of dollars, and breaking all sorts of entertainment industry records. Odds are you picked it up, too, adding to the games sales by buying the hit FPS for either the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or PC. But what you may not have known is that, despite not promoting it much, Activision had a version of the game made for the Wii, too, and, well, it looks a little bit different. We played through the explosive second mission of the game on both systems and put the footage together to show you how Modern Warfare's standard-definition option compares for those who don't own an HD system."

the wii version is surprisingly good.

marioPSUC4575d ago

sure it doesnt look as good, but for a Wii shooter and a Wii game in general it does look good.
And im pretty sure it has everything the other versions have just MP has a lower player count

They definitely try to give Wii players the same experience

Army_of_Darkness4575d ago

However, the 360 version looks like pc quality when comparing it to the wii lol!

ambientFLIER4574d ago

Everything...except for big team battle modes and all the best killstreaks...

trancefreak4574d ago

I have the PC version and the kids have the console version and I know Modern Warfare isn't cry-engine 3 material but I got to say I was surprisingly impressed with how well the console versions stack up to there PC version.

The PC version also looks pretty good their are some moments where their is some serious detail especially on surfaces like water and other effects. This Call of Duty game looked good and was an enjoyable experience.

I forgot how much Cod puts people in ridiculous action scenario's

SilentNegotiator4574d ago

Better than slowly crawling on a rooftop or waiting an hour to start an on-rails jet gunner section. I'll fight commies on snow mobiles and undead nazis over that jazz any day.

By the way, is this video available in a higher resolution than 50p? Oh wait, it's gamesradar....lol, and here I thought there might be quality! har har

Panthers4574d ago

I like the crazy action sequences for single player. But I have to say (since you are obviously comparing CoD to BF3) that BF3 online is miles ahead of COD

MRMagoo1234574d ago

@panthers

Its more than miles its more like light years ahead

SilentNegotiator4573d ago

@panthers

And clearly I was comparing the single player "scenarios", not the multiplayer. No reason to get so defensive of BF3.

Holy crap, the Wii version, for having less processing power then my dual core smart phone, looks decent. I swear they had to have cloned Einstien to program it to do that.

M1chl4575d ago

Yeah, seems wierd when CoD on HD consoles looks decent at best. They really push Wii. I see that version and I was really suprised how good it looks and how smooth it runs. Whos in charge of making Wii version?

ambientFLIER4574d ago

Well, the Wii version is half the fps and half the resolution...so yeah, it looks ok other than that...

Kran4575d ago

But then when you compare the two, the Wii graphics look horrendous. Of course, for the wii itself, top notch (almost)

Amphion4574d ago

I know this is the internet and no one is trying, but...damn people can't spell for shit...

NEW-AGE4574d ago

Goddammit If this Can Run on the Wii , it Damn Sure can run on my PS2... i wouldnt mind a version for that ps2 hooked up in the car... Maby ill see if the PS3 doesnt swallow my car battery, n try something for the long trips

BlackPrince 424574d ago

I was expecting to have a laugh at the Wii version, but it's not so bad. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that the "HD" versions of COD actually run at sub-HD resolutions.

MRMagoo1234574d ago

MW3 could run on an iphone

MasterCornholio4575d ago

The Wii version doesn't look too bad. But the 360 one looks much better.

yavorsv4574d ago

no shit sherlock ? really ?

MasterCornholio4574d ago

Yep you just can't expect a SD console with obsolete hardware to push the same level of visuals as the 360 or PS3. But the Wii is still a decent console to own.

Did I offend you with my comment because if I did I am sorry for hurting your feelings.

smoothdude4574d ago

There is an emulator for the Wii which can upscale graphics, I would like to see this game on that. Sure the textures would still be bad, however, I think it might be closer than we think. I say bravo to the developers.

Oldman1004575d ago

What a pointless comparison, the wii version obviously looks better.

sak5004574d ago

My iphone game modern combat looks much better.

padz14575d ago

wow im suprised how good the wii version looks

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons47d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
