This was gamecube:
These screenshots might not be gears-of-war-alicious, but they look good for a humoristic platformer.
No, they really don't. If this is representative of the final game, it looks like a step back.

Good luck getting wireless internet on your Gamecube.

Sheesh, people are really overreacting. These are NOT that bad, yet people act as if Ubi dropped the bomb on us.

No need for damage control. We all knew Revolution graphics wouldn't be as good as 360/PS3 graphics. We've known this all freaking year, and yet people are acting suprised. WTF mates?
It's not about graphics - it's about the gameplay. If Rayman is fun, I don't think anyone will complain about the graphics. Come on guys

Didn't feel right to not contribute something to this thread.

come on guys, we all know the drill by now - first gen ports, even good ones barely take advantage of new graphical enhancements. This Rayman probably measures up to where the King Kong port did on the xbox360. Or maybe more like NHL2k6 or Gun. there was but a single mind blowing 3rd party game on the 360, and that was a PC port. Very little lived up to the first party beauty of kameo, perfect dark zero, or PGR3. I'm expecting the same for the Wii, but obviously scaled back substantially.

So... it looks like Rayman Raving Rabbids will be added to my Wii wishlist and Rayman 2 to be a Virtual Console download for myself if available.

No additional functions
The game looks great imo. I can understand why people are upset about the graphics though. I'm guessing the people who are upset haven't seen the pics of Red Steel or the video of Metroid Prime 3 either.

I expect the usual suspects to be vocally dissappointed no matter what Nintendo shows...it's their job.
I don't think the game looks bad in any way. It's Rayman 4, not MGS4...the approach, style, dirrection and *budgets* are different so why even compare them? I tell you why, 'cos people fear change! The Wiimote IS change.

no it's because they are comparing it to 360/ps3 games... it's like comapring visuals from psp to DS. it's not fair. based on the specs of the revolution, these visuals are probably middle of the road for the launch lineup. some stuff will look better (red steel looks better) some stuff will look worse, at least in the launch period.
Are you saying this looks ugly by current gen standards? Do you just not like the art style or something?
With revolution visuals you have to grade relative to the capabilities of the console. It's not just going to suddenly sprout ps3/360 visuals, so dissing games because they don't reach that level is redundant. The specs are better than xbox 1 (by a little bit), but this is the launch period and even 360 had a few games that didn't look better than xbox games in the first few months. with the revs lower specs, the problem will be worse, obviously.
Are zelda WW, Re4 ninja gaiden suddenly ugly just because next gen games look a little better? I'm personaly not feeling that at all. This gen is holding up pretty well compared to previous generational changes. I'm playing DQ8 right now, and evne though i've seen tons of next gen game footage, the graphics are still kicking my ass.
I actually like the art style. Am I the only one that thinks of:
The texture work and fur shading is very disappointing (anyone who is defending that needs to have their eyes checked), but I hardly expect top-tier work for Rayman nowadays; Ubi's priorities lay elsewhere. The asthetics and the widescreen mode are nice, (I really like the official artwork) and I really expect Spongebob from THQ to be at this level or lower in graphical quality. Strictly a game marketed to the kiddie demographics; they're not really going to give a shit about it having blurry textures one way or the other when they get to wave their hands all around.

Nah. It wasnt quite that bad. The fun didnt start until the 2nd page with this one. For PDZ, the laughing started by the 3rd post.
And NO, the edited screenshot on the first page doesnt count
Besides, okay it's a good laugh and all, but Id really like to see what the "real" games are going to be like. Who was going to buy this game anyway? It's not like it's Mario or something :lol

I actually signed up for GAF a long time ago and my account was deleted for absolutely no reason (I had only posted about 15 times), so I never bothered getting another account. I signed up again a week or so ago and just now got around to posting. Was bored and felt like making a picture in PS.
