^all they have?! those are great! not as good as most ps3 and 360 games but still great! especially for the wii!

to the people saying that that screen of goldeneye looks like the conduit shot could be because of the colours. when i saw the sky in the goldeneye, i thought that too. other than having a good amount of colour, conduit and goldeneye having nothing in common when it comes to graphics.

@manufan, i believe it will look much, much better in motion. (see metroid prime 3, super mario galaxy)

@thas, yes, i like my shooter to have colours. (See matriod prime trilogy, halo trilogy, team fortress 2 as opposed to epitome of brownness that are gears of war 2, killzone 2 and cod5)

can't lie, mario galaxy is one beautiful game

DaRkDiAbLo · 09-30-2008, 07:54 PM

CantGetAWii · 09-30-2008, 08:43 PM

Keep in mind those are concept art pieces not new screens, but I am excited to see the stuff from IGN when it's posted.

Can anyone tell me where ign said that there would be info today?

not new info today. in the podcast, ign said that they will recieve new levels so i made an assumption that we can expect updated hands preview shortly thereafter

DaRkDiAbLo · 10-01-2008, 01:46 AM

i guess not... and i guess we learned that assumptions are bad... haha

A while back, hvs told ign that they would let they would let them have a hands on with a updated version of the game. It has been some time since they said that. What makes you think that we are going to see anything any time soon?

I found this comparison of the conduit to Metroid prime 3 and thought it was notable because of the people complaining about graphics.

what do u mean? u cant just expect ign to write a whole preview in one day. i bet they havent even had a chance to play it. they have other things too. by "shortly thereafter" i meant 1 or 2 days after, not in the following hour.

@thas: well the new podcast came yesterday night so i expect that version to be truer than yours.

You know what, I really hate IGN's new site, its more flashy but it is less convenient when it comes down to the news.

laserbeak4 · 10-01-2008, 03:23 AM

Thas, Nice contribution but those Metroid prime pics look blurred to me, possibly even intentional.
but then again that might jsut be the comparison showing the difference and if that's the case the conduit wins as far as color quality goes.

metroid sits on the conduit's face for style tho :P

Obviously when you play metroid on the wii, it looks better than that screenshot does and the same will apply to the conduit. That is the point I am trying to make. I agree with you on the matter of colour vs. style.

If you think they are blurred, think again, they are all from IGN.

cool. thanks for those. as far as things looking diff on the wii, that isn't always the case, somehow starwars managed to look WORSE. so I i just hope that with all the detail we can see with this engine, they're adding detail to be seen.

I concur. It used to be so easy to see updated news, previews, reviews etc. Now it's all over the place.

If you are talking about force unleashed, the graphics were bad to start with.
