Your options couldn't be any more clear. it’s really simple actually, if you want to stare at nice graphics, then PC, if you want to wave your arms around like a jerk, than Wii, if you want a stylish paper weight, PS3, if you like seeing circles constantly light up, 360.

Or the PS3 the controller of the Wii? I'm so frustrated. I want top notch graphics AND fun gameplay Wii Remote-style! Why are they forcing me to choose one or the other.

I’m so frustrated. I want top notch graphics AND fun gameplay Wii Remote-style!

Why are they forcing me to choose one or the other.

I was starting to get tired of all those FPS with hands made out of human flesh... ... Sarcasm aside, I'm guessing it's a really early beta... Just look at the projected shadows on the floor in the first screenshot... It's absolutely pixelated... Even the Gamecube can pull off projected shadows way better than that. I'll also guess that they are first adjusting the gameplay and level design before implementing the bling-blings and the pretty textures... Something similar happened with Red Steel, after all. “Far Cry: Wood-Hands”… hadn’t hear about this one, but such a premise is really innovative!

Oh, but you do get to wave your arms about and poke your little sister in the eye while acting the fool. Lawsuits coming. Face it, the Wii is over priced for sucky grapics.

So tell me again why I should trust anything you say about the quality of the Wii? Same image as the first one in the post

That said, they are unfinished, they weren't meant to be released. Plenty of games look "horrid" during their development and before their unveiling to the public. I'm sure it will improve, though "by how much?" is a different question altogether.

For one they're porting an engine rather than building it from the ground up for the Wii so it's going to lose a lot from that. Also, Farcry isn't fun. Other games look pretty decent and I think over time it will improve as developers become more familiar with the systems architecture. I’m not terribly worried about it.

The STANDARD thing to do in the GAME INDUSTRY is to use LOW RESOLUTION TEXTURES for TESTING development code. Many reasons for this: keeping the project resources at a minimum, so you don't have to worry about complications and after-thoughts such as compression, figuring out what texture detail suits the system for a reasonable framerate, performance and load testing. blablabla I would not worry. It's like a painting. At first, it looks a lot like gobbledigook and washed out colours, and eventually the finer details are put in for the last touch. People:

It came out shortly after Final Fantasy 3 (6) and had better graphics. Both were two of the top 10 games ever made. My point is that while control and gameplay is the most key element of a gaming experience, the graphics have to at least be on par with the current generation's capabilitys. Lets hope that these guys pull their act together and the finished product looks alot better than this. Gamers have come to expect more.

I can see the pixels!! Its all about the game play people.. if they had to drop the pol-count to increase the FPS, I really don't care. plus the game isn't a launch title.. so we can hope it improves from these shots.. plus they don't look that bad! OMG WOW.. I can see the pixels!!
