    I think I am becomming a graphics whore *GASP*

    I am really having trouble adjusting to the Wii. I still have fun with the kids playing the sports game, but man I just can't seem to adjust from the 360. It is hard to go back from High-Def graphics. I haven't even touched Zelda latlely (hmm that sounds strange). Have I gone down the path of the dark side? Anyone else corrupted?

    I gotta admit, I feel the same way for many games. It's hard to play the "ugly" game.

      Agree, Even tho I like the Idea of Wii and Everything..Everytime I play Zelda at the Mall Im just thinking dang how amazing this game could actually be if it was in PURE HD graphics on the 360.

        Opposite here. I bought a HD TV just for the 360 and love the hi-res look but sold my 360 (because 2 of them died and because the games were boring).

        I am enjoying the Wii and am not turned off at all by the graphics. Zelda has great graphics anyway, but in terms of textures and resolution, you forget about them after a few minutes of actual gameplay.

        In relation, no matter how good the graphics get in a 360/PS3 game, there are now a heap of titles I could never go back to with a regular controller...

          ive been thinking im turning into one myself, ive never been so critical of graphics in games as I have been since getting a 360. i think though after the 360 has many games in their 2nd or 3rd run on the system, ill be more critical of gameplay,etc. but its weird how now even if a game plys good i still am upset over any graphicaol issues.

              Welcome to the club, I tried playing a few older games and just couldn't do it....I'm spoiled...HD games running in 1080i and 1080p have spoiled me rotten...Long live Next Gen...

              With the graphics of RB6 Vegas (360) and Gears of War...Zelda was fun for about 1 week and afterwards never got played anymore...

              Nintendo should have went Next-Gen...

                I'm surprised because it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would, since owning a 360 and PS3. I still play games on my PS2/Xbox/Cube/DS and the graphics downgrade don't seem to bother me.

                There are some games that I marvel at when I see them on older systems and compare them to PS3 or 360 graphics. Examples are:

                1) SvR 2006 (PS2)
                2) Panzer Dragoon Orta (Xbox)
                3) DOAU (Xbox)
                4) RE4 (GC)
                5) Sphinx The Cursed Mummy (GC)
                6) F-Zero (GC)
                7) Jet Set Radio (Dreamcast/Xbox)

                  I hate to admit this also like the rest of you guys, but after I bought the PS3 I haven't played the Wii in about 2.5 weeks. My little time that I have has gone into the PS3 and 360, and it's a real shame. I think that we all have that graphics whoreness in us and we just move with the time as graphics change and get better and better. I don't even have desire to play any of my PS2 or XBX1 games BC.

                  BTW guys, Zelda does not look that bad. I hope that I can get back to it soon as I do want to complete Links adventure.

                  Did Nintendo make a mistake? No they didn't since the Wii is going to sell, sell, sell like it has been. I wish that the system did have a bit more powerful processor + graphics card, but I will enjoy it for my classics like Zelda, Metroid, Mario, etc. Don't get me wrong, the system brings fun to the playground which no other system can say they boast.

                    I don't think its true for me. I'm still plenty happy with my PS2 even after seeing and playing my brother's 360. I was definately a whore for the jump to the PS2 from the PS1 but the graphics were a bigger improvement imo. The PS2 still puts out acceptable graphics so it doesn't bother me. My standards are certainly higher for the 360 and I was upset at quite a few things NCAA 360 had to offer that I felt were unacceptable for next gen.

                      Yes that's very true, the jump from PS1 to PS2 was huge. The jump from PS2/Xbox to the 360 or PS3 is not that big IMO. I played SvR 2006 on the PS2 last night and i'm amazed at the level of detail, graphics quality and animation of the wrestlers. Of course it looks much better on the 360 but not to the extent of playing a Playstation One game and moving to the Dreamcast or PS2.

                          I see your point but I disagree. The reason that many games don't look alot better is because many games are still using the last gen engine with some new paint slapped on. Like SvR is still using the same engine from the PS2. So it will not look alot better until they build an engine from the ground up. Same goes for NBA 2k7 and many other games that are using the old engine. But look at GRAW or GOW and I have never seen anything better on my HDTV. I think it's a big leap but many game makers have yet to transition to a new engine. So I can't wait to see when all these franchises receive new engines strictly made for the 360 and PS3. Also, that's why I think many people are disappointed in the next gen so far. We expected a big leap in graphical quality that for many games is just not there. Too many game makers are releasing games w/the old engines and as casual and hardcore gamers we expect more than a fresh coat of paint to earn our consumer dollars.

                            I always considered myself as someone big on graphics, but I guess maybe I'm not because I still haven't seen anything to make me go and get a 360 or PS3 yet. Games will make me do that, not the graphics, and right now, the games are still there for the PS2 and XBox. That's why I got a Wii, because the games were there.

                            I've played the 360 a couple times and the PS3 at Targets and stuff. They look real nice that's for sure, but it doesn't make me think bad towards me still playing either my PS2, XBox, and Wii, which I do pretty much every day.

                            The one graphical thing that does bother me is the lack of widescreen support, but that has really stopped being a issue for all the systems, even current gen.

                              I agree the 360 and PS3 can't compete w/the sheer number of titles for the PS2 and Xbox. In terms of games, you cannot go wrong w/buying a PS2. It's still fun and will continue to be just like the PS1 was when the PS2 came out and so on before that. I think some miss the fact that the 360 and PS3 only have a fraction of the amount of PS2 and Xbox games. So, I throw that out the window as I know my new system can't compete w/the sheer amount of games on the older system and I can see why people don't want to make the leap until more games come out. It's a bigger leap now than it was 5-6 years ago because the new systems are much more expensive than they used to be. So many players are like there is really nothing that I need to have for $400 to $600. I can see that point when the PS2 is a fraction of the cost and most games are $19.99 or less not $60 a pop. But I must say there is nothing on the last gen can that can compete with GOW or RB6. But, it took a year to get those games and many games that people are waiting to buy a system for (Metal Gear, Halo 3) do not come out to next year. It's a slow start but I think in 2007 we will see the graphics along w/gameplay.

                              As for me, I can't go back. I finally sold my PS2 last month once GOW came out. To me next gen arrived in November 2006, a year after it came out. The gameplay is finally here along with the graphics. After seeing GOW and RB6 in 1080p and along with that, the best gameplay I have experienced in those types of games, I just cannot go back to PS2 or Xbox. This is also why I have held out on the Wii. At least for me, next gen means next gen gameplay(which the Wii has created) with next gen graphics (the Wii has none of that). I need both. Not to dis' anyone here, but I do not believe anyone who tells me graphics do not matter. I think gameplay (i.e. the Wii controller) can only take you so far when in 1-2 more years the 360 and PS3 are creating beautiful games that are fun as hell to play. Me and my best friend disagree on this, so we will see.
