It's a quick port of a budget-priced title do you really think they would go to all the effort of making a gme in 720p?

It's House of the Dead, what more do you want? It's about killing zombies not stopping and going "oooh look, I can't see jaggies around that mean looking flesh eating creature. Oh and look, that tree looks so life-like, see how it flows in the breeze?" Get over it.

i agree with ozzsoad, get over it, if you want better graphics for your little zombie game go buy a 360 or PS3. the wii is all about gameplay over graphics. I highly believe that the wii gameplay is Twice as good as any other game console and I love my 360. We all bought the Wii knowing we werent getting graphics compared to either of the other consoles, and complaining about it isn't going to make it better, so let it go the graphics arn't ever going to be great on this console.

That's on purpose...

It's a direct port of House of the Dead 2 so they didn't fancy up any graphics.

All I can think of when I look at them is... every zombie looks exactly the same... A dev that does that isn't going to care about 'jaggies' or anything else for that matter. And it is pointless to complain about it.

No, because the Wii only supports up to 480p. :?

And the graphics in this game were intentional, as others have already said. The House of the Dead games retain their original graphics for nostalgia. And for much lower development costs.

If you're going to complain about the Wii's graphics, at least choose games where the developers were actually trying to be impressive.

its a port from the older arcade versions its giving you 2 games plus extra modes for 29.99 what more do you want plus wii can only do 480p and we all know the wii can make great graphics just look at galaxy if you want a 720p system go by a 360 or ps3 dont take a game thats ported from arcade and say look at the bad graphics.

I'm sorry if you didn't know about Wii's graphical limitations when you bought the system. And 720p wouldn't make House of the Dead look any better. Well, it would look a bit sharper but textures would still be blurry and polygons non-existing.

port = same graphics with wii controls

remake = updated graphics with wii controls

This is a port, not a remake... what it looked like before is what it will look like now.

Know what you are talking about first.... post threads second...

Why would you only look at the worst looking Wii game (Or close to it)?

I suggest you stop being a graphics whore. I have a 360 but I still have no problem with Wii's graphics, or SNES graphics for that matter.

Sorry people, but I'm gonna have to defend this guy on this. Not for the proposed 720p support because that's not necessary. After seeing Metroid Prime, Mario Galaxy, and Resident Evil 4, we know that the wii is capable of quality graphics. PS2 titles shouldn't be on par with quality Wii titles. What is shown is a comparison of a game that's running on a dreamcast console that's about 10 years old, an xbox console that's 8 years old, and a nintendo wii that's 2 years old. There should be no comparison in quality. And with 480p, the graphics in motion should be much more impressive. I'm not blaming it on the wii, I'm blaming devs for S-L-A-C-K-I-N-G big time. This has got to stop.

Yeah, look at Super Mario Galaxy. It's absolutely a gem.

First off I dont think you are really defending the TC because it seems like he is blaming the Wii...second jaysonguy made a pretty good thread the other day where he was very clear about the harmfulness of wiimakes but not of ports on the wii... this was just a port that sega did, it didnt take up to much time and as we can see from sega's line up it really didnt hurt the other games that sega is putting out. Its just a quick low cost port and if you want to buy it you can but you dont have too... I would have been much more upset with this game if they made it look great because that would have pulled a lot more resoures from sega that they are useing for other things. wiimakes are slowing down progress too much but ports while not helping progress are not slowing it down nearly as much.

Not all Wii games look like that. Look at Mario Galaxy. It has some pretty good graphics. I know everyone had heard this a million times, but I will say it again. Graphics aren't everything. My two favorite game Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross don't have PS3 or Xbox 360 graphics, but they are still my favorite.

Get sick of developers, not the Wii. The Wii is actually pretty powerful (not compared to the 360 or ps3 though. check out SMG or SSBB), but the developers don't really bother with graphics since they think most people who will buy the game won't care about them anyway. People don't buy the Wii to look at pretty games. They buy it to play the fun games. That's why so many developers keep making ugly games. Unfortunately most ugly games they make don't play well so they're still failing.

Yes. Ports need to stop. We need to boycott ports. Can we do that? Who's with me on this!?!? I guess it is important to differentiate between ports and "wiimakes". I like that...wiimakes. These devs need to wiimake these half-assed ports.

With component cables and Progressive mode enabled? I beg to differ. The quality of HDTV may be an issue here, but my wii looks outstanding on my HDTV (Sony Bravia 26")

wii's graphics are fine for me... i didn't buy a wii for it's graphics anyways, i bought it bc of the motion controls. i've also played ps3... and to tell you the truth, the graphics are sometimes too good. growing up with SNES, n64, dreamcast, etc... I want to feel like i'm playing with video game people, not real-life people... if you know what i mean.

If you expected the best graphics, why did you buy a Wii? It's not like they kept it a secret that the best it would do was 480p.

I think by now we all know what the wii is and what its trying to be, we keep hoping its gonna rise above what it is but it won't, developers are not gonna stop what there doing and it sucks, really, our only option is to hope that these 3rd party developers comes to there senses someday but our best options are to either accept it for what it is or move on, if your a gamer u can't just own a wii but u can sure do without 1, I think that says a lot about the system.

dido...

I would have agree with the TC if he/she had said this about Alone in the Dark, i`m not asking for ps3 graphics but a lil better (of what i saw a couple of weeks back) would have being nice. You know at least use what the Wii can do. Now of course those may have not being the final graphics *crosses fingers*

But on topic, it was ment as direct port so even if this game were on 360 or ps3 it would have had same graphics... imo..

We're lucky they updated the graphics at all. It's an 8 and 10 year old port.

And in all fairness, the Dreamcast version still looks pretty good, after 10 years.

Nintendo is doing a great job at making games, its just those da** 3rd party game companies, who seem to give the console such a bad rep. Remember the P**ptastic company who made ninja bread man?

I'm so sick of people ragging on Wii for not being designed "for gamers". What is this elitist little club called "Gamers" anyway? This is the same sort of mentality that has fans of rap hearing a rock song they like but saying they hate it because it's the wrong genre. If I like a game on Wii, I like it whether its 'for gamers' or not, and that happens to have been the case a lot of the time, hence my owning one. If you can tell what everythings meant to be, the graphics are fine in my book. I'm not looking for a scenic experience every time I hit the power button.

This topic is pointless.

We knew ahead of time that all we were getting was a PORT OF HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2 AND 3. Thats ALL IT IS. NOTHING MORE. So, of course its going to look like the original game, considering it IS IT and stuff.

And its impossible to not have fun with The House of the Dead anyway, especially the second one.

Don't complain about the Wii's graphics, complain about the developers, as the majority of them don't use much of the Wii's potential.
