WiiGeePeeYou (Hollywood) what IS it ?

Does anyone knows what would be needed to run in game gfx like rebirth (eg in a Pikmin game) (or XB real time demos/cut scenes, as they are said to have the same power), I mean this is already done (or could be) in real time given 50% more gfx power and enought CPU time and ram/BW one should get a game like this. But anyone know what kind of improvement are we talking about (is it possible with the 2,5-3x from IGN)?

 

DOA2 looked a generation beyond other Dreamcast games.

 

This is the same from tthe trailer, carathers look good, if they can put this kind of look overall in large scale then it will be nice.

Thought it is incredible that SC3/4/Re4/... for GC look way better than anything else.

 

so? nobody living close to firesome and willing to give him a hand with that moving? : )

 

So I'm here. I won't have dorm network access until Monday and my Greek classes start. Look at the top middle:

Look at the top middle. An overclocked Flipper doesn't do self-shadowing like that. Do you guys even play Cube games, or do you just talk about them? The detail is in keeping with the low RAM numbers we've heard, but the lighting is like nothing I've ever seen on the Cube. I mean, I guess it's Gamecube-esque if you have an imaginary Gamecube with a beefed-up feature set that the real life Gamecubes that people actually play don't have and have been playing imaginary Cube games with lighting effects that no real-life Gamecube game actually has.

 

Why do you think Zelda SW2K was running at 60fps?

 

I am sorry, fearsome, but linking to magazine scans is against the rules.

Anyway, the lighting is way beyond anything we've seen so far on the GCN. In fact, even the latest Zelda:TP pictures of the Wii version, show a very much improved lighting. Maybe, we're gonna see HDR on Wii, afterall.

 

The fact that I've never seen it running on a GameCube, only on video.

 

I think it as been said that wii and GC will look equal and really there is nothing that GC shouldnt be able to do anyway, it would be nice to see improved gfx for wii.

I think the lighting has been improved in the Wii version, the models etc are still the same. Better lighting doesn't require that much effort.

 

What do you think they did for the lighting? Upped precision? Updated samples/s on shadows and reflections?

 

I cant say without a good head to head of images but the words is that they will look equal, but IRC that there is two lighting models
one for each world, see if you arent making any confusing with both.

 

What are the odds of Wii having more than one gpu core? I mean, with the die-cast shrink, shouldn't a 5 year old gpu be easy to shrink down immensely? Conceivably couldn't the 2-3x power Nintendo originally hinted at refer to perhaps 2 or 3 flippers?

 

Absolutely zero. Forget it, not happening.

 

Cant see a good reason for that, they do that on PC side becase they cant put more power in one GPU or marketing/upgrading reasonm not valid for a console.

 

How large will Hollywood be in terms of size do you folks expect? Couldn't Broadway and Hollywood fit on one die if they are significantly smaller than GC's chips?
