Well, after what my friend has just shown me.. I have no doubt in my mind, I am not getting the Wii!

So, all you nintendo geeks.. check out those graphics..

I would have thought that was PSOne or Dreamcast..

I already knew the graphics were the same as gamecube basically.
And that is why I keep saying, graphics aren't everything.
But you guys still think they are :P

Plus they will be better on the TV, cause still images never do justice.
Though Nintendo even said they wont improve the graphics from gamecube much, they are going for fun games that get you involved not too much graphics this time...they said it at E3 2006
And yet the Wii was still the console with lines going outside the building and 10x longer then the other consoles...FOR THE WHOLE E3, every day!

So obviously it is better, if the PS3 area and xbox360 area were not as crowded. My friend said he had to wait to play the Wii for like 4 hours at E3 while Ps3 and 360 he only had to wait like 10 minutes in a line XDD

It's not true, the lighting is better on the real thing somewhat. o_O I swear game screenshots should just be rendered in the engine and put online so people can actually see the real graphics :P

Well I cant say this is unexpected, Nintendo has said that the Wii wouldnt have next gen graphics didnt they? Their main focus is the new gameplay with the Wii Remote.

That game is Cel-Shaded, and it doesn't look bad for a cel-shaded game. Probably looks pretty cool when the cartoonish reflections are all slidin around on the car

Case in point, if you want a car game get it on PS2/3

My DS does have better graphics then that aswell!

Funny to see how much you judge a console directly on a game... I agree, this game's GFX are crap, but that doesn't make the Wii worst, the only think that deserve the word "worst" is the game itself... not Wii's problem if Ubisoft is not able to design a good game

Agreed, as for the graphics.. I dont think people should judge a console directly on graphics... The Wii is gonna be awesome, and I can't wait to get mine.
