I think they all look fantastic. But than again I'm a simpleton when it comes to a game and its visuals, I'm not the type that needs an uber resolution or some high end DX11 feature to get the most out of a game and its overall visual package.

 

[anaron]

Ahaha, I remember that, it was hilariously ironic.

loooooool, link please.

 

[JaxJag]

Both of you helped me remember all the people that said 360 games looked worse than 360 games on that E3 trailer sizzle reel. If it's not on your platform of choice it either it looks like shit or is CGI, like the reactions on the Zelda HD demo.

Seriously? This looks impressive to you?

Just out of curiosity. What are some visually impressive games you've played recently?

 

[Windom Earle]

Or maybe You just dont know what is tech and what is art style.

God, i've watched it again, particles are PSX quality, no joke.

I tend to agree, this looks like a re-skinned Xenoblade. Some parts look pretty average, but the scope is nice.

Oh, and it seems the grass is still 2d and moving with the camera. XD

Skyrim
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSL-r9AIEEU#t=17m30s

Skyrim has much more foliage than X so the comparison isn't quite 1 to 1.

Distant land in Skyrim looks mushy and undetailed, the Monolith game has much better detail.

 

[beast786]

And what's your point ? Saying that I'm right ? Thank you sir, to show that X looks far better than Lair while having far better draw distance while looking better and being on a bigger scale.

What scale? How do you know the scale of X>Lair?

Far-better draw? The water was dynamic , not static like X draw.

Thanks for making me realize i should have ignored your post.

 

[lumzi23]

PS3 first wave game

I don't understand. Even though it's a Factor 5 game, Lair has got nothing on X... unless that was your point.

 

[TheMink]

I'm on mobile, so maybe I pressed enter twice.

Yeah this is what it looks like, i keep staring at it waiting for a pic to load lol.

Sorry! Continue discussion!

 

[Strife91]

I think it looks better than a lot of current gen stuff.

 

[Eideka]

X kept being described as better detailed...But I don't see it.

All I see is a current-gen game, running on a 2012 console.

 

[beast786]

I don't understand. Even though it's a Factor 5 game, Lair has got nothing on X... unless that was your point.

Nothing on X. Based on what?

Graphics ? Scale ?

 

[airmangataosenai]

Skyrim has less foliage, and is les detailed.

I have no clue how you can justify saying that Skyrim has less foliage than what we've seen from this game. The other stuff I can write off as preference but this is an objectively false claim.

 

[GhostTrick]

What scale? How do you know the scale of X>Lair?

Far-better draw? The water was dynamic , not static like X draw.

Thanks for making me realize i should have ignored your post.

Thanks for making me realize you didn't watched the trailer. Otherwise, you would have never post such wrong things.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Didn't someone say that that was on purpose, so that you don't lose track of your pikmin in the scenery?

even so, it's muddy like it's still a Wii game

 

[SmokyDave]

They look like nice current gen games, which is good for such early titles. I wouldn't argue if you told me they were PS3/360 though.

And what's your point ? Saying that I'm right ? Thank you sir, to show that X looks far better than Lair while having far better draw distance while looking better and being on a bigger scale.

Man, you're really invested in this aren't you?

Get ready to switch to 'graphics don't mean shit! It's all about gameplay!' in six months

 

[7he Talon]

I'm impressed

 

[phosphor112]

Skyrim has less foliage, and is les detailed.

Yeah, no.

You're just trolling now.

The X trailer doesn't even have trees. Skyrim has a farther draw distance on grass (that ZOMG! moves from da wind!). I think Skyrim is ugly, but the game CLEARLY has more things on screen than any of that footage from X.

 

[Blades64]

I think technically, we're still in the first wave of games, but whatever. They look awesome to me. Nintendo games in HD is good enough to me. I'll get a PC to feed my inner graphics whore.

 

[beast786]

Thanks for making me realize you didn't watched the trailer. Otherwise, you would have never post such wrong things.

Ok now I know you are trolling.

 

[Giant Panda]

Why are you bringing Lair up? It looks god-awful.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

Game looks great... Most of you guys just have a crab in yr pants.

 

[Projectjustice]

Your fanboyism is showing.

Read the thread title. This is for people to voice their opinions on how these games look. If you can't handle dissenting opinions and choose to dismiss them as people hating Nintendo, you clearly aren't ready for the internet yet.

Not at all, thats why I used a good example of RDR pics someone posted as an example. Whats showing is you grasping.

What's happening in six months ? Next gen console not even being on par with my PC ? LOL.
All I said was that Monolith Soft game was slightly better looking than PS360 titles. What's the problem with that ? Are you shocked or annoyed that a 2012 console can make slightly better things than 2006 consoles ?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

X looks like a Wii game now? What the hell?

 

[Lucent]

They look great, but I think it's due to art more than technical aspects.

And that's what really matters. I'd rather have awesome visual styles that rely on art and stuff than "look how realistic this almost looks but is still kind of off and weird looking and makes it easier to notice the graphics are bad".

All four of these look awesome and make me feel better about getting a Wii U.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

I'm surprised that someone remember LAIR. Haha.

Factor 5 were graphical powerhouses on every console they worked on.

Their games were mostly not very fun to play - rogue squadron included - but they always looked good.

If anyone is ever going to bring up Factor 5 games, it will always be in the context of a 'games that looked seriously good for their time' thread.

 

[BruiserBear]

I'm impressed with the combination of art and lighting in the Zelda shots.

 

[Projectjustice]

X looks like a Wii game now? What the hell?

Exactly but my fanboyism is showing as per Turok. lol

 

[Corky]

I'd rather have both.

But when people can't have both they start rationalize that "it's ok I'd rather have X over Y"

360 came out in 2005 for what it's worth.

 

[phosphor112]

Nothing on X. Based on what?

Graphics ? Scale ?

The hundreds of AI on screen.

Oh wait. They're too small doesn't matter. They've got to be giant monsters!

 

[KillerTravis]

Seriously? This looks impressive to you?

Just out of curiosity. What are some visually impressive games you've played recently?

Yeah the video I watched did look impressive. Probably doable on current generation hardware but so is Halo 4 and that game looked fantastic. I can't really take you seriously with that hyperbolic statement saying it looks like a Wii game.

 

[Pie and Beans]

I think Retro's stuff will be the only studio to really wow graphically. Nintendo doesnt really have any other studios that can match Sony or Microsoft's handpicked wizards in that area beyond them.

Stuff on show was good HD generation games, nothing more, nothing less. Certainly nothing beyond PS3/X360.

 

[Tex117]

What nintendo should have done awhile ago if you ask me.

 

[Celine]

Factor 5 were graphical powerhouses on every console they worked on.

Lair (on a technical side) was a misstep though.

 

[Mlatador]

They obviously look damn good. Some of that stuff shown even looks very good. I'd even say "impressive".

But whatever you call it, to me the graphical capacities of the Wii U are more than sufficient. Now it's up to the developers to wow us with good games. The resources are definitely enough to produce all kinds of awesome shit.

 

[kinggroin]

They look like very very nice 360/PS3 games but with great image quality and performance.

So, about what most sensible folk expected from Wii U. Which is also to say, going to play very nice with Nintendo's IPs.

 

[JaxJag]

Yeah the video I watched did look impressive. Probably doable on current generation hardware but so is Halo 4 and that game looked fantastic. I can't really take you seriously with that hyperbolic statement saying it looks like a Wii game.

The geometry looks like a Wii game IMO.

Monolith Software already did it

 

[kirby_fox]

I need a game that has real time hair. Only then can I say if this is better than 360/PS3. And I'm not counting X, can't tell anything in that.

Loving the art styles though, hoping the gameplay is even better.

SmokyDave is no bullshit.

 

[PC Gaming Sucks]

not surprised at the comments saying these games look bad. If it isn't running on 1000$ graphics card with DX11.1, Super Ultra High Settings at 2400p, it looks like total ass to you guys.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

The geometry looks like a Wii game IMO.

It's ok to be wrong.

 

[beast786]

Why are you bringing Lair up? It looks god-awful.

Game had a dreaded FR. Otherwise for scale visually was a beautiful game. The game play was horrid.

 

[Projectjustice]

Are some of you guys aware that X isnt a finished product?

 

[Proelite]

The most comparable game graphically to X that we have on current gen IMO is Just Cause 2.

There is some things that Just Cause 2 is better at, but draw distance, animation and character models seems to be heavily in favor of X.

 

[Corky]

They look like very very nice 360/PS3 games but with great image quality and performance.
.

Interestingly the two things you definitely can't ascertain from a compressed youtube video running at 30 fps are image quality and performance but what do I know.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Monolith Software already did it

Only if you skipped every single amazing looking PS3 and 360 title I guess? In which case, well done, you win the prize.

 

[kinggroin]

I'd rather have both.

But when people can't have both they start rationalize that "it's ok I'd rather have X over Y"

Except most of the times X IS better than Y. So try again.

 

[SmokyDave]

What's happening in six months ? Next gen console not even being on par with my PC ? LOL.

They'll still launch with titles heads & shoulders above anything in the OP.

All I said was that Monolith Soft game was slightly better looking than PS360 titles. What's the problem with that ? Are you shocked or annoyed that a 2012 console can make slightly better things than 2006 consoles ?

I'm shocked and annoyed they're only slightly better, yeah. My wallet is ready for next-gen and it's so far away
