[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"][QUOTE="BladesOfAthena"][QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]Like what other companies are getting? Besides, Nintendo has enough money to last them a while.

All of that money and yet they can't even afford an online infrastructure that's as good as Microsoft's, or Sony's for that matter.

Can't blame them for being a little strict with their money (especially in this economy). Though true the Wii and DS online weren't that good, the 3DS is showing something in that department.

Well their penny-pinching habits shouldn't be an excuse as to why they shouldn't strive for a competent online service. They need to get with the times and stop treating online gaming like its an afterthought.

Nintendo's gravy train is coming to an end as noted by their first annual loss since 1981.

Cruis'n (Wii) gets my vote as worst looking game this gen. Its so laughably bad that I've seen PS2 games that look better.

I pointed out how Wii (and Gamecube) managed to produce some nice looking games, that side by side, looked as good or better in the final overall result, then games on other more powerful hardware.....gamerdude375
If we're talking rushed ports and half-assed games on the HD twins, yeah I suppose. Against the very best? Not by a longshot.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is one of those games that needs to be seen in motion in order to be fully appreciated. I'm not a Naruto fan by any stretch but the fluidic animations and how they make everything seem full of life really piqued my interest.

1)It;s a GTX 570. Made by EVGA.

2) I can max out everything else at 60 FPS at 1080p. Including Witcher 2. Except for Crysis, because it's an unoptimized pos.

3) Nice try.

gamerdude375

Then there is something wrong with your GPU or System...or how you acquired your game...since all benchmarks indicate a GTX 570 easily achieving beyond 30fps on Crysis at 1080p with High Settings & AA enabled.

By your logic, GTA4 and Just Cause 2 are the best looking games out there because they are 100X bigger than the big open enviornments of Crysis.

Having big open enviornments dont mean jack s*** if the game looks mediocre 50% of the time. Killzone and Uncharted destroy Crysis in terms of lighting, animation, detail and character polygons. Who cares if Crysis has semi open world enviornments?

S0lidSnake

You're kidding yourself if you think Killzone 2 or 3 outdoes Crysis maxed out.....especially in the areas of lighting and detail.

....and going back to Rage, that game had some of the poorest graphics and most horrendous texture pop in I've seen....you're out of your mind for even suggesting it's better the Crysis graphically. Then again, that's to be expected from one claiming that Killzone 2 and 3 have better lighting and detail.

Yes, and Super Mario Galaxy has some of the most dreadful dithering, ugly-ass aliasing, low-res PS2-like textures and lamest shadows I have EVER seen. I don't get how when it comes to comparing the Wii vs PS3/360 graphics-wise, you boil it down into visual appeal (which is purely SUBJECTIVE) just so it would seem more favorable on the Wii's terms, yet when you pair up the PS3/360 against the PC, all of a sudden it becomes an argument of technical wizardry. Why don't you apply the same standard with the PS3/X360 when it comes to comparing against the PC? :rolleyes:

[QUOTE="Am_Confucius"] One of my casual friends (a gurl, if it matters) had no idea that Nintendo are developing a new console, but when I mentioned it, she had already decided that she wanted to buy it.

Just because one desires something isn't necessarily a guarantee that they will act upon that desire. Also, anecdotes lack any real weight and are therefore invalid.

Sweet. I just hope they amped up the difficulty level in this one. The first one was just so ridiculously easy that once I beat it, I had no desire to go back to it again.

[QUOTE="El_Zo1212o"][QUOTE="BladesOfAthena"][QUOTE="El_Zo1212o"] Considering Nintendo and their NES revolutionized videogames as a whole and Microsoft and Xbox Live revolutionized modern console gaming with a comprehensive online platform, I'm sort of at a loss as to how you can attribute godfatherhood to Sony. Besides being better at the console game than Sega, what claim do they have?

Being able to reach out to a more mature audience, that gaming is no longer for 10 year old boys. I mean,150 million consoles is nothing to scoff at.

But sales is the name of the game. If you're going to call something the "godfather of such-and-such" you need more than just numbers. A one hit wonder can reach the top of the billboard charts, but that doesn't make them the "godfather of such-and-such" music genre.

Okay, well in that case I do agree that calling them the godfather of whatever sounds pretty farfetched. But if we're talking about who's responsible for what or who's the originator of something, then you can't be attributing credit to Nintendo and Microsoft, as neither the NES or Xbox Live were original ideas. Before Nintendo, there was Nolan Bushnell. And before Xbox Live, there was Quake.

[QUOTE="Yusuke420"]

My statement is based upon the fact that Sony dominated a 12 year period where they could do no wrong. Nintendo was (third party support still is) on it's heels and they forced Sega out of business entirely. Sounds pretty godfather like to me!
