Mario Strikers Charged

Well hello there.

Super Smash Bros Brawl

 

[Charlatanized]

Those reviewers told me that Strikers Charged looked just like the GameCube game. But those screenshots make me want to buy it (something about Mario and soccer mixed with some quasi Mad Max thing inspires my wallet).

It's running on the same engine, but a lot of things are upgraded (poly counts, texture work, crowd, effects, particles, etc).

this angry yoshi looks cool

Well those reviewers also told us mega strikes ruin the gameplay because they are unbalanced.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles : The Crystal Bearers

HOLY SHIT.

 

[Threi]

i guess we are leaving the PS2-level wave of games and are starting to enter the GC-level wave of games. :lol

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles : The Crystal Bearers

HOLY SHIT.

Look, theres nothing HOLY SHIT about it, it's Gamecube level graphics. When will you ntards learn? It looks pretty but nothing outstounding.

Devil Kings 2: Heroes

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Wow, jesus christ. Holy shit is a valid comment–people are saying that because it's good looking, they aren't insinuating that it's better looking than any 360 or PS3 game. Wow, you people take this shit so ****ing seriously.

 

[PantherLotus]

Yeah. You're absolutely right. It looks pretty but nothing outstanding. Does that help you sleep at night?

He actually IS right.

Please stfu.

edit: Oh Panther, I made a new thread for the Boogie screenies. I'll let you do the honor of adding them to this thread.

I would actually say we're entering the xbox level wave of games, but I suppose that's debatable.

There are some things that the wii clearly does better than xbox, but other things (like textures) were the xbox is still slightly superior.

Hopefully by next year, everything will be xbox level and above.

So a game cant be "Holy Shit" simply because of its awsome deisng and promising gameplay?
Ok.
Also, yeah, it is GCN-level...TRUE GCN-level, that was only ever achieved by Metroid Prime 1, Rogue Leader, Twilight Princess and RE4.

 

[Meesh]

Yeah but, who freak'n cares!!!! We're excited about FFCB, that's all that matters. Haters need to do something better with their time...

I'm so down with Harvest Moon, but dang, those pastel colors need to go...

 

[PantherLotus]

Opoona

HOLY SHIT. YEAH I SAID IT BITCHES.

 

[Neo Child]

Please stfu.

Why, cause I don't care so much for your big boys game?

Eledees impresses me more than that.

Promising gameplay? All we know is that it is more single player orientated this time round. That bit doesn't really give me much of a promise. CC was much better in multiplayer than in single player, but the gameplay and story was naff so far, and we know jack shit about this too gameplay wise, unless you'd like to explain?

About the GC level, your correct, not many games have tapped the GC's full potential before. The list you gave was good, but in my opinion, the original CC wins over this aesthetically. And it now looks like (as someone else said) every JRPG before it (thats hyperbole for you lil' ones).

I think that by the end 2007 wii will be at Xbox level (With SMG and MP3 and such), and then after we will see...


and peoples Neo Child is right...i wouldn't have said it as rudely as him but yeah its right...but the point is that its an improvement - the graphics on the wii will not be stagnant, and there is no reason to think they will.

 

[Meesh]

Opoona...what vexes me here is the character design, not the visuals. But heck, I'm gonna give it a tour anyways

 

[PantherLotus]

And for the record, assclown. HOLY SHIT the way I use it implies much more than great graphics. To me, HOLY SHIT implies:

"uh...is this Square Enix treating us with a full fledged FF game? HOLY SHIT."
"This looks much, MUCH better than the original presentation, and much better than I expected. Holy Shit."
"Hey--it's a 3rd party and it's actually looking like a great game. Holy shit."
"Does anybody get the implication of this caliber of a title on the Wii and what it means for the entire generation?"

That's right bitches.
HOLY ****ING SHIT.

Eledees impresses me more than that.

wait that makes no sense. I mean I was with you about the whole "typical n-fan hyperbole, grasping at straws because they can never get something acceptably next-gen from their sub-2001 technology" (reading PantherLotus' comment below, this could reasonably be altered to "typical n-fans forgetting history" and "typical n-fan hyperbole, part deux), but Eledees more impressive than FF:CC? In what? I thought you were talking about graphics? Even if you thought the hyper aliased visuals of Elebits was good looking, you could not have enjoyed the frequent sub-30 framerate.

 

[Krowley]

Thing i don't like about opoona is that the enemies look pasted on or something.. They're too seperated from the environment and they look too flat.

I actually do think the hyper aliased visuals were cool, thats just me. The frame rate, I'll give you that one. How do we know FFCC: CB framerate will be as smooth as [insert dirty innuendo here]? I'm sure the video wasn't from direct feed gameplay.

Can I retract my statement and replace Eledees with Deweys Adventure.

Geometry Wars: Galaxies

 

[Great Rumbler]

Opoona

HOLY SHIT. YEAH I SAID IT BITCHES.

Opoona's bizarre quirkyness never ceases to amaze me.

They'd better announce plans for a US release!

 

[Neo Child]

Geometry Wars: Galaxies

HOLY SHI.. oh wait:

GWG better be a ****ing downloadable title, i'm not paying 10x the cost for it on the Wii.

Edit: Oh, is that the DS version?

 

[PantherLotus]

Thing i don't like about opoona is that the enemies look pasted on or something.. They're too seperated from the environment and they look too flat.

I hear what you're saying but I'm certain that is intentional--it looks very much like DQVIII style and could very well surpass it visually.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

HOLY SHI.. oh wait:

GWG better be a ****ing downloadable title, i'm not paying 10x the cost for it on the Wii.

Are you....are you SERIOUSLY doing this? Honestly comparing the Live Arcade version to the Wii version? And you're angry that it doesn't look as good as the game that's on an HD system?

Holy shit, you're just pathetic.

And no, that's the Wii version. Get it through your ****ing mind man–the Wii is an Xobx 1.something. Most everyone has accepted this, yet you still act as though Nintendo is slowly slicing your balls clean in half.

 

[Krowley]

I hear what you're saying but I'm certain that is intentional--it looks very much like DQVIII style and could very well surpass it visually.

Actually in the video, i thought it looked pretty great, so maybe this is something that's only noticeable in screens. These particular screens are the first time I've noticed it.

[Amir0x]

Honest question, but do we even know what it adds over the XBLA version? I'm asking because BrandNew seems to reply in that snarky way suggesting he knows some information that I probably missed about the package, but since I'm in the dark here maybe I can be filled in on what value they're adding?

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Co-op, and another sort of MP. Didn't mean to be snarky–but it jsut seems a bit ridiculous that he's honestly not giving it a chance to a game that's obviously going to be solid.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Great update! Holy Shit!


uh I think wiitard and ntard should be banned, frankly I feel insulted having to read such retarded langauge on GAF

Story based mode
Multiplay and coop (presumably online)

well this is what IGN says:

Coming to Nintendo consoles under the guise of Geometry Wars: Galaxies, this latest instalment has plenty of exclusive features, including a campaign mode which sees you travelling between solar systems to take out the enemy ships. Alongside this new mode are new weapons, enemies and gameplay types.


Galaxies is also the first Geo Wars to feature a multiplayer, which includes a co-op mode, hot-seat battles and a traditional versus mode - which is all extremely exciting. Plus, if you buy both versions of the game you can use a Wi-Fi link between your DS and Wii to unlock new content.

 

[Great Rumbler]

I think it's the cel-shading that's causing the big contrast.

 

[Amir0x]

Well I really like it, but I too am waiting for price details... if it's $39.99 or something, solid or not, I'm not going to buy it for obvious reasons. It was originally free, then it was $5, and now it's going to be _____? It'd be nice if it was for the downloadable service... would be a nice way to kick it off, with arguably one of the most addicting arcade games.

 

[Neo Child]

Look, the shot isn't from a high resolution, and there really isn't any reason why the XBox 1 wouldn't be able to do that. Take a look at Oddworld SW.

I'm playing my Wii as we speak, Solomons Key to be exact. I'm not fussed it doesn't look "OMG 360 graficx lol". I love the Wii, it has fantastic games and a great line up so far. I know what the Wii can handle. I think Super Mario Galaxy looks almost next-gen, i'm impressed. Don't think I don't know the limitations (or not)of the Wii.

 

[Krowley]

HOLY SHI.. oh wait:

<posts a bunch of snarky comments>

Are you just trying to make wii owners feel bad? What's the motivation?

You're starting to break my spirit here.. Should I sell my wii?

I appreciate your input, but we gotta keep screenies from other systems out of this thread. I think a fair level of debate about a game's visuals is absolutely expected, but we can only compare games on the system in question, especially for the Wii.

Comparing anything on the Wii to anything else on the other new systems is undoubtedly absurd and borderline hysterical. If you know the limitations so well, why would you bother posting screens from another next-gen system?

Knock it off already and lets keep this to an apples v apples comparison.

Yeah well, it's still legit for them to charge whatever they want though. They made a good game, it should be worth good money - more so than crappy games that start out at full price.

 

[ghostlyjoe]

Seconded ... actually, just ban anything with a "tard" suffix.

 

[Amir0x]

Of course it's legit for them to charge whatever they want. But if they do charge "whatever they want", and what they want is more than 20 bucks, then it's legitimate for others to express discontentment when other versions are available for $5 and in the already noted high definition benefit.
