IGN had a hands on with the game.  This game seems to look good. I'm not sure if any of these pics are above 50k, sorry.






"From the opening real-time sequence, it's clear that Medal of Honor Vanguard employs a much more advanced 3D engine than Call of Duty 3 for Wii, which produced a decidedly washed out, drab look. In contrast, Vanguard boasts deep colors, advanced lighting effects (in darkened hallways, allied soldiers are illuminated with each bang of your gun and it looks amazing) and crisper textures, and in addition it's able to display action sequences with much more going on. This becomes evident from the very first drop into Holland, where players can see groups of other paratroopers floating downward as planes dogfight nearby. It looks very good -- a cut above most GameCube titles, which shouldn't be surprising since Wii is roughly twice as powerful. The game also runs in 480p and 16:9 on Nintendo's console and, according to EA, the Wii build sports improved graphics over its PlayStation 2 counterpart on top of enhanced controls."
http://wii.ign.com/articles/766/766566p1.html

Also, IGN said that the game will support 4 player split-screen multiplayer.  There will be a capture the flag, deathmatch, and 2 other multiplayer modes.  A feature for the controls they added was the ability to just turn around by flicking the wiimote to the left (ala Resident Evil 4).  It makes sense because they said the turning speed was slower than CoD3 (but faster than Red Steel).  Also, throwing grenades was funner than CoD3.

Would be nice if those weren't target renders, but in-game. If they are in-game, they look very delicious indeed. In any case, it just shows what can be done if developers would get off their butts and start pushing the Wii's hardware.

Target Renders? :lol:

Those don't look any better than ingame COD 2.  In fact I wouldn't call it better than COD3 Wii.

It looks way better graphically than COD for Wii. Watch the videos and it gives you a better look at it.

Yes, it will 4 player split-screen.  There will be death-match, capture the flag, and 2 other multiplayer modes.

TO the person above saying that these don't look any better than CoD3 on the Wii, maybe you should read the quote i posted.  IGN got to have a hands-on version, and they say it has way better graphics than CoD3 on the Wii.

Finally a develop that actually can be bothered to improve on the PS2 game, rather than just give us the same thing with Wii controls thrown on!

Just watched the video, the graphics aren't even close to what I would call "good".  I swear it looks like a PS2 game.

''A cut above Gamecube graphics'', lies. Its confirmed to be only a PS2 port with sharper resolution. None the less the graphics are superior to COD3, especially the lighting that was a joke in COD3. Although the controls and gameplay don`t sound as good to me. If it had online then a definite purchase but no.

 The gun models and the hand holding it looks pretty drab, but the textures and detail in the character models is alright.

Wow you are contradicting yourself. You say its not good looking and it has non fun controls , then you say if it had online you would get it. So you would get a game just because it had online even if the online was horrible? What a contradiction.

I'm sort of mildy looking forward to this and hoping that they can pull off a frontline. Let's be honest here, it really isn't hard to have better-than-COD3-graphics as that game sports some of the worst visuals I've seen in recent memory.

This vanguard looks like an allright  looking current game with great, advanced lighting. And that's a cut above COD3.

I think we're watching two different videos because the one I saw definitely looked better than PS2. It wasn't amazing, but it shows that devs actually can make a Wii game look good. Plus, read the article, they say it has better graphics than CoD3, and I agree because I have it.

its really not a contridiction like if halo 2 had a reallly s*cky campaign I would still get it for multiplayer contridiction would be if he said its "not good looking" and "non fun controls" and then later in the sentence he would say "it looks great" and it looks like it has "awesome controls"

Yeah sharper graphics, you going to believe IGN or the people making the game? Trust me I want to see something using Wii's full power but this isn't it, its a PS2 game with extra frosting. Not like thats stopped me buying COD3 though.

Ahh:

GS: Will there be any technical differences between the two versions? Different graphical effects or anything?

MS: Outside of the controls, the two versions follow the same storyline and are mostly identical, but since they are available on different systems you can expect to see some distinction in resolution.

Graphics look fine. This will probably be the first FPS I get for the Wii if it gets over an 8.0 or I play it and find it's fun.

The lighting effects look great, but the details on the characters aren't as good as COD3.
