Wii is not an excuse for bad graphics (Spyborgs Dev)

Wii is not an excuse for bad graphics (Spyborgs Dev)

4 Color Rebellion has recently interviewed the lead producer of Spyborgs, Daryl Allison, in which he has stated that other Wii developers should not be using the Wii's inferior hardware as an excuse for poor graphics.

"We were going to make a game that fans of Devil May Cry and God of War would enjoy," Allison stated during the interview. "Those gamers expect great graphics. Being on the Wii was not an excuse to disappoint them."

While some view the statement by Allison as silly, considering that his own title has not been released yet. Others, however, are appraising his opinion and recognition of the major problem that seems to affect many Wii developers.

We've already seen games with lovely graphics (look at launch release game 'Twilight Princess'), but we're hoping that Allison's statement can really sink in to other developers so that they produce some really nice looking games.

Twilight Princess, Galaxy, and Brawl all have epic graphics. I was stunned the first time I played Galaxy, and TP was a port from GC. The graphics can be so much better without changing the hardware!

Yes, while it was designed for the Wii it was made for the Gamecube and they had to delay the release of the gamecube version so that they could change it to suit the Wii and then delay it further so that it could come out on both consoles as the Wii released.

Haha, funny. The game was delayed for more content and the Gamecube version was released a little bit after the Wii version. And why the heck would you believe Nintendo would make feature title for a next generation console off of a port from an old console? And the reason for adding more content is the developers actually found more room to spare,(seeing as it's their first game for the system they wouldn't know how much it could take).

i have to agree though, there are just not enough quality games such as Galaxy, Twilight Princess etc, im kinda getting sick of the cartoony graphics that seem to have bombarded the wii.

Actually, Wii is just a port. They never built it from the ground up as a Wii game, and everybody that knows anything about gaming knows it. It was developed for the GameCube from the start and very little was changed for the Wii version. If you don't believe me, ask Nintendo yourself. It's common knowledge.

To think TP was a port! If you can't improve on GC graphics, it is a shame really.

Exactly, and to put the final nail in the coffin, it's very clear that the Wii version is mirrored, as Link holds his sword in his right hand, while in every other LoZ game (including the Gamecube TP) Link is a lefty. Not to mention that his and Zelda's Triforce pieces are on the wrong hands in the Wii version.

Even RE:4 had good graphics....I'm not sure if it was a GC port or not but I'm sure someone here will clarify.

Also...I thought Don Kings fight night (a seriously under ratted game) had some of the better graphics I've seen on the wii.
