Ubisoft E3 Lineup - Rayman to be Wii launch title, first pic
- Thread starter Spider_Jerusalem
- Start date
I don't know why anyone is saying this couldn't be done on the cube or Xbox.
It looks no better than any current gen screens that Ubi release..not that I'm saying the Wii isn't capable of much more but to be honest what are you expecting from early gen multiformat ports? I suspect that the current engines for this game are more or less identical on the GC and Wii.
You may get a faster framerate and if you're lucky they will polish it up closer to launch if they have time and add a few higher res textures etc.

A little pre-mature to jump ship, do you think? At least wait for E3 to come and go.

This is a good resume of the situation I think. I hope that nobody here expected something like Gears of Wars........of course !
I think that the one of the best looking games of the first part of Wii's Life, will be Metroid Prime III. On THIS game we must judge what Wii could generate.
And remember that these are only the first images of the first games on Wii, and from Third Party Editors.

Exactly. Consider that they were using plain old Gamecubes early on as devkits. Then remember what early 360 media looked like, and that was from a much more powerful machine. And of course we've seen plenty of unimpressive ports to 360.
The best looking Wii games will look better than the best looking games of this gen, but there will definitely be games that look like they could easily be done on PS2/Cube, particularly in the first year.

Because there a lot of delusional fanboys.
Xbox?What we can see in this Rayman 4 screen is absolutely feasible on GC.There's nothing there that can't be done on it,low geometry,low texture resolution,standard lighting map based lighting,a bit of fur shading already seen in Star Fox Adventures.

eh, id be the last person to stick up for nintendo (well mebbe besides drinky)
but im pretty much banking on games looking like GC+
i have my 360 and (eventually) ps3 for next gen hot graffix.
actually im more interested in the virtual console / ps3 service/ live markplace & arcade interfaces & ideas this gen then the actual hardwares anymore.

And I just need to reiterate how shite Rayman 4 is looking
The people that are saying this game looks like ass are going to be in for a rude awakening at e3... there will probably be plenty of revolution games that look much worse and only a few that look better. Your expectations where too high if you think this looks bad. something like spongebob will probably make it look brilliant in comparison.

It looks just as good as GRAW or Oblivion...

Ho man, ok let me breath....
This pic is just TOO great, it looks almost made on purpose ...Imean we have the punk girl, the shitface kid, the grandpa, the shitface kid, the gcn quality pic and, off course, THE SHITFACE KID!!!!
If someone at Ubisoft made this pic ONLY to see Gaf's reaction I have no doubt he must be rolling on the floor while having a whole bottle of lmaonade...

Well if that Red Steel game was real time then there's 1 game that's already way ahead of this game.

Taking that high resolution screen, doing a nearest neighbor resize down to 640x480 (anything higher quality would probably give it an unrealistic anti-aliasing advantage), and then doing a smoother stretch out to 852x480, here's something that's a bit closer to anamorphic 480p reality. Though the game image rendered should look cleaner than my shittily-downsized version.

I've never played a rayman game since trying one of the early pc versions at a friends house years ago but the gameplay here sounds pretty interesting.
On the graphics i agree with your basic assessment. It looks like a fairly high end xbox game.. maybe not as good as conker, but it's in that catagory. We need more screenshots that showcase the environments before i would pass my final judgement though... it could be much worse than i think or maybe a little better.

Did you not see the N64-looking screens?

Amir0x said:Sorry, Mama Smurf, commentary on graphics is what happens in threads with screenshots. Wii is not exempt.
I dealt with the fact that Wii will be barely better than Xbox, but that doesn't change Rayman Rabbid Rabits from being ugly last-gen shit! Sorry dude
I was talking to people like moke. If you (moke and his ilk again) want to have a go at the graphics in the screens, fine. But if you're still caught up on the system graphics, to the point where you're now furious at Nintendo, like we haven't known about this for months...time to get over it or move on.
If he'd just said "looks like shit" like others have, I'd have shrugged. It was the crazy, rabid go at the system which struck me as pretty lame, like he'd been refusing to believe what we've been hearing, unless he's been missing for months and only just found out or something anyway.

I'm still a bit confused. This IS or IS NOT Rayman 4? And if so, how are people even reacting to its graphical prowess or lack thereof since it is coming to the other consoles, is it not?

Of what? Red Steel? All i've seen are those screens that caused that big thread, and it didn't look anything like a N64 game. Unless there have been new screens.

Wow. One screenshot (which looks pretty nice, by the way), and everyone already knows the absolute ceiling of the Wii's rendering capabilities. We sure is smart.
SolidSnakex said:
yeah red steel looks slightly next gen... a little beyond the xbox1... this looks like high end xbox1.. I expect most of nintendo's own games (mario, metroid and stuff like that) to look as good as red steel, and most of the shovelware (like spongebob) to look VERY BAD. This game is probably somewhere in between.
edit: later in revolution's lifespan, the ratio will probably improve, but i'm speaking just of launch titles and things that will be shown at e3

A couple of the screens in the magazine basically looked like Perfect Dark. The rest of the screens were probably mock-ups.

How do you know (2nd part)?
I think this game looks fun by the way. Like...FUN. You know, something I would want to pick up and play because there's all sorts of crazy things going on.

Alright, we're going a bit off topic, but let's stop the N64 comparisons before they take off:
