That's because the Wii is pretty much just an overclocked GC.

I think the Conduit 2 takes advantage of the hardware and shows what the Wii can do.

No! There's still a lot of leg room to max out the system, but no devs have actually tried to do this. A couple of devs like Sonic Team Japan actually tried to create great looking games on the system and they have succeeded.

From what I heard the game looks incredible for a Wii game at times and looks pretty bad at times too.

The Wii is the first console where devs gave less effort than the previous generation IMO.

Its the best looking game on the Wii, using realistic graphics at least. Did you know Gamecube and Wii architecture is the same? Do you know what that means? :P

SMG/2, Xenoblade, Sonic Colors, SSBB, MHT, TLS, MP3:C and DKCR look great. Better than anything on the Xbox/PS2 that's pretty much a fact.

I didn't play it though (I'm not going to spend my money on that). I'm just going off of what I've seen on the internet.

Anyway, Galaxy 2 and Monster Hunter Tri look incredible, noticeably better than any Xbox/Gamecube game.

Metroid Prime 3 also looks incredible.

To be honest Conduit 2 does have some high-quality assets. Some. And the Wii didn't show all of it. They still aren't on par with the HD twins though.

Goldeneye was better than Conduit 2 visually because it was more consistant.

That seems to be the case. I love the Wii, but I think the only reason The Conduit gets any attention is because people are desperate for FPSs on the Wii.

I'm sure the Conduit 2 does some technically impressive things, but I think the art style and overall look is pretty nasty.

Yeah, I don't really care about them either. A great FPS once awhile (like Goldeneye) is a treat, but I'm perfectly fine with the amount of FPS on the Wii.

I've actually met with someone who works at HVS at an art school I used to go to. They really do have some really sweet artwork but they are really being held back by the Wii's hardware (and poor management killed the quality of what it should've been.) I think they could really create a good FPS if they work with the Wii-U.

I disagree here because the gameplay in C1 and C2 are fantastic for the Wii. The gameplay is good. The design itself is questionable.

EDIT - AMG poast 9000! :P....my next post means I'll finally be over 9000!!!

That's pretty cool. Did you meet any other game graphic artists?

As far as the Conduit developers are concerned, it would be interesting to see what they can do on the Wii U. I don't think they'll start developing masterpieces, but I do think they might craft an appealing FPS.
