ahhell Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Sweet. I wonder if this will be another Mario game that I never finish. (I always seem to get to one particular stage that frustrates me to no end and I quite playing it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Tell me this isn't a WII game? The graphics look very GC!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 This makes me want to buy a console. It's been ages since i've owned one. Well besides my current PSP....that doesn't count because i mostly been using it for music, i know...i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted September 15, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 15, 2006 (edited) Why does mario look a bit off in the pictures? the middle one for instance, that white shine, looks weird. Tell me this isn't a WII game? The graphics look very GC!? The wii isn't meant to be a big step up in gaming graphics, and theres really not much you can improve on a mario game, if you make it look realistic you would be playing a fat guy, which i don't want to.

flapjackman176 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 yeah.. the images are bad.. they must be scaled down or something.. judging by all the rough edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom1981 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I wouldnt go by those picturs. From what everybody who has played the game has said it looks great and is a must have for the wii when it comes out. It is also the game that showcases what the wii controller can do.

Even Mario would look better without all that aliasing. Let's hope that's a compression artifact or something - though I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Let's hope that's a compression artifact or something - though I wouldn't get my hopes up. It's aliasing combined with compression artifacts and image resizing. Don't worry, it will look a lot better on your TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaPrime Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Tell me this isn't a WII game? The graphics look very GC!? Don't expect Wii games to look much different to GameCube games, apart from having widescreen. Looks better in motion though. I just hope we get more variation in levels than we did in Sunshine.

Xerus Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The graphics looks like it's PS One game. :) :) Yeah totally. I cant even tell the two apart. I think you meant that it looks like an SNES game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_ralphie Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Don't expect Wii games to look much different to GameCube games, apart from having widescreen. uh, wii is significantly more powerful than gamecube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Looks pretty crappy in terms of graphics, but I bet its fun (it better be fun). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PL_ Veteran Posted September 17, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 17, 2006 uh, wii is significantly more powerful than gamecube. :no: Roughly 2-3 times more powerful, says the big giant N. TBH I don't see how this can showcase the Wii very well, but what the hell, it's Mario!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoL Veteran Posted September 17, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 17, 2006 I dont know, I think they resize the images or something but I dont care the Mario Galaxy videos on YouTube looks awesome. I really want to play this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaPrime Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 uh, wii is significantly more powerful than gamecube. It's more powerful, but most of it you won't see in terms of graphics because it's not powerful enough to show that much of a difference compared to the GameCube (the higher resolution Wii has eats up a fair bit of the extra processing power). The Wii does have some more graphical features added to the GPU though, so you should get some extra effects other the Cube. The biggest difference you might see is better textures and bigger levels due to the larger disc size. But if you want it for graphics, then there's two other consoles you can buy instead. Galaxy doesn't look much better than Sunshine, except maybe Mario himself whom seems to have some new shaders and lighting. He looks a bit weird in some shots because the lighting on him just works better in motion. In motion this game looks a lot better. I just hope that not every level has a space theme.

Amnesia Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I'm looking forward to this game. Mario does look like he's copy and pasted on the images though :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotdot Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Graphics are sweet IMHO. Remember theres only so life-like you can go with Mario. Im not looking to see every pore on mazzas face , his 5 oclock shadow , or even individual blades of grass. To me its the mario style / world Ive come to expect and nothing short of bumping up the poly count is really gonna change that (i.e smoother models). Personally its just right and no doubt gonna be more fun than electrified fun making machine handing out fun at a fun festival in funtown , funland.

Erich Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 First off, all rumors of the graphical power of the Wii are still rumors, please don't quote it as fact. Secondly, it's up to the game designers to make games look good, not the wii hardware (and I seriously doubt by a long shot that mario galaxy is pushing the wii hardware to it's max potential). Lastly, the mario style does not lend itself very easily to zomg-pwesome-photorealistic-gfx. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaPrime Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 It's also a result of more time with the hardware too. Mario is not photo-realistic, yeah, but that doesn't mean it's not possible to make it look better. It does look good though in motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Don't rely on these new pictures to judge this game. They screwed something up with them, the E3 pictures for instance weren't all jaggified like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They screwed something up with them, the E3 pictures for instance weren't all jaggified like these. These are the first direct captures (apart from one) from the game though. E3 shots of Galaxy were just pictures of a TV playing the game: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
