Here is PC farcry from 2004... This is what Wii's game should look like at minimum.

No, its not. You can get the most out of Farcry with a fairly modest system.

I know you can play it on a fairly modest system, but to actually get the most out of it you need a pretty high-end pc, seeing I couldn't even run it fully on the living room PC, which has a 3 Ghz processor, 1 Gig RAM, and a 256 MB Nvidia GeForce 6600... Smilie

Well, I could play it with everything maxed out, but it did chop from time to time... Meh. Anyways, I think that it

Marzy, those graphics are shite, and please stop regurgitating an optitians marketing slogans, it does my cynical nut.Those graphics are technicaly average Xbox graphics, and the style is just hideous. look at the texturs on your [monster] characters hands!Admit it, youre wrong.

Im crying with laughter! help me! you are blind!

You're the only one that thinks these look anywhere near good.

(shinji- there's something wrong with your PC- my one is only slightly better than that, and I can run it at full settings, in a decent resolution).

It's funny why you cant even give any reasons to why they are bad. Thats because there not.

Not my PC, the living room PC Smilie My PC is peachy-keen, fine as a biatch Smilie But I can run it fully, but it chops sometimes... A bit annoying, but that's when there's shit flying all over the place...

And btw, I think they look pretty good as well Smilie

My 2.4 ghz 1Gig Ram Geforce 6600 256MB system can run it near enough perfectly maxed out (although this deffinatly differs with certain drivers)

I have the same, but with a geforce 6200 and it runs excellently apart from the lighting in dark places (it goes blue).

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

For fucks sake. Right- look at the messy, blurred cliffs in the background. The fucking shambles of 2d pixelated trees. Who's ever seen a tree like that? A mess.

In fact, look at the textures on all the surfaces. OH WAIT. What textures? I've seen clearer images through vaseline.

But it looks the same on the XBOX. What's the diffrence?

There isn't one.. if it looks like that on the xbox, then the xbox one also looks fucking shit.

HOWEVER, this is meant to be the next gen. Its a little annoying for developers to be given an amazing controller, and then be limited by the machines power. I hope these screens aren't representative of the wii's power.

I do. It still looks better than the PS2.

Dude, just stop being such a pessimist. I think you're expecting way too much just so you can allow yourself to bash stuff. Don't. Just be patient, and wait untill you actually play some games yourself, and see them on your tv, see them in motion. Although the Wii is weaker than the 360 and PS3, it isn't necessarily weak. We'll see eventually Smilie

The GameCube could easily top what they've churned out there.

It will hopefully be better the next time we see it, but just looks like something they've thrown together/used for testing.

I've played the Xbox Far Cry, and it really does look much better.

Some dude called Saturo Iwata stated that the Wii is 2-3 times more powerful than the GameCube.

This means that any games that look shit are down to lazy ass developers thinking that as long as they do something with the controller then everythings okay.

The Wii should be running games that are better looking that PC Farcry maxed out at 640x480. My Geforce 5700LE could (which you can buy for about
