Inexcusable: Spider Man 3’s Graphics for Wii

Darkaber · 6 May 2007 at 10:54

Upon looking through IGN’s review section, I came across the newly developed Wii game, Spiderman 3. Alas, it received a 5.4/10 (from IGN), which is not good at all. I then proceeded to look at the screen shots for the game, and was stricken by how bad the graphics looked. Just take a look at these pictures for instance (images courtesy of IGN.com):

Veiw the pics here

I just cant belive how bad this game looks on the Wii :eek:

Glad i got the 360 version over this

Jeez, i was gonna get my brother this too, might just let him use my 360 and get that version...

Oh god thats bad, it seems developers are just using the lower powered graphics as an excuse to just churn out crud looking games.

But Wii is all about gameplay

The DS Version looks better than the Wii! :confused:

That really is shocking, I can't believe it was released looking like that. I thought the Wii was supposed to be on par with the original Xbox so surely that is just lazy developers. I hope games like this bomb so developers then realise that they have to put some effort in.

I wonder what owners of wii would say. If I remember correctly, wii is about gameplay and grapics is probably secondary (or university

)

Regarding this picture - "If you go too high, the city textures go on vacation." is what IGN review said.

Hmmm, I dont know about that but what would be the best graphics the wii can handle? I think the spider is probably close to it peak output unless im mistaken.

They don't look that bad on mine! half the fun is swinging around tho, with the controllers its great!

Nzyme · 6 May 2007 at 11:15

Yeah but surely not this bad, this reminds me of a PS1 game looking at that

Hahaha the buildings are just single coloured blocks. What a lazy lazy game.

The wait continues for a decent Wii game.

It's all about the gameplay Ign score 5.4

I don't get it - even the Playstation 1 spiderman games looked better. Probably tops Farcry for worse looking Wii game now.

Have a look at PS2 review in IGN, you'll be surprised.

Basically, any games coming from movies almost always turn out to be crap on any format, what do you expect?

the game was clearly made to milk a bit of cash and nothing more,

I agree, most games based on films are crap but all im saying is they could have made a better looking game than this

Oh dear, looks like they rushed this game out to be inline with all other releases.

Although as Phoenix211 said the fun is using the controllers so the graphics do come second

It's not really as bad as all that, Take a look at this

http://uk.media.wii.ign.com/media/819/819756/img_4521915.html

yes its not great, But The picture above is from an above city view, Which the Wii cant handle while running all the textures at the same time.

Not justifying anything! It still looks crap, But it's not a constant thing
