it looks horrible by wii standards. it honestly looks worse than the gamecube game.

I very much doubt that. Hell, it they could port the code without changing anything

But, indeed, the improvements seem miniscule / unnoticeable.

Check the draw distance in the 4th shot.

Isn't this game supposed to feature a LOT more vehicles... 16 right?

Yeah it has twice the vehicles the GCN version had.

well it doesn't look worse than double dash but it's amazing that nintendo managed to make a wii game look as good as SMG and this looks basically like a gamecube game (the last game was fairly good looking for the time). maybe it looks better in motion (60 fps?) so I'll hold out a little hope for it.

 

[Nesh]

It looks like a PS2 game. But it wont matter anyways for Nintendo. It can sell backetloads even with this visuals

Those are shots from the E3 trailer. They're old as hell.

That's some pretty rough texturing for an 80+MB machine.

Im pretty excited about this game, for the gameplay. But its going to look so crappy spread out over 57".

That first one is from MK64. Who knows maybe the other are rejects from MK64. I know they made alot of tracks and only put in the best one for N64 because of space limit. I thought MKDD has terrible graphics. Anyway I hope it still early in development.

 

[Tagrineth]

Whoa - check that DRAW DISTANCE. O_O

 

[Turok]

So that ugly-as-hell dithering is gone, thankfully. I guess that's where the compliments end.

Draw distance isn't that impressive, Resident Evil 4 had about the same with much better graphics...

 

[Cheezdoodles]

Looks bad, but honestly when i play the wii i dont care that it looks bad.

 

[Sankari]

I don't really get whats so impressive about that draw distance, but perhaps others are joking. It doesn't look good but I doubt its gona look like that when it ships.

The dithering only happened when alpha was used. Since none of the above screens show transparency, there's no dithering.

Hmm, yea the Gamecube had some nasty dithering didn't it. Does the Wii still have this weakness? I'm guessing so since Wikipedia says its GPU is most likely a revision of the Gamecube GPU clocked faster.

Edit: LOL I'm so out of the loop aren't I.

All my current games have dithering problems, though Super Mario Galaxies has it less than others. Perhaps higher precision, but still integer?

Last I heard from my sources (quite some time ago), it indeed suffers from the same shortcomings. There's a "workaround", but it doesn't come for free.

Could look better? yes.

Below the GC game? Get glasses.
