Fall into single file lines like Army Ants

Some interesting news today.

LucasArts is apparently developing a game based off the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series exclusively for Wii and DS. So it's nice that Wii is getting more support, and hopefully this title will fall into the "hardcore" audience. It was revealed on the back of the Lego Indiana Jones manual by IGN. So there is another title to look forward too this year.

I'm still eagerly awaiting screens and/or videos of Factor 5's Wii project. After going on the IGN boards and discussing some things about Wii's graphical powers and such, I really want to see what the Wii is capable of. And I always wondered, every time a Wii game comes out and it doesn't look the greatest, people, including myself, wind up saying "It looks like a PS2 game! Lazy developers, Wii is stronger then that!" Sometimes I wonder, are we over estimating the console? I mean, what happens when a title comes out, and it pushes the Wii as hard as it can, and we are still not satisfied? The only way to see what Wii is really capable of is probably through Factor 5's title. Julian Eggebrecht, president of Factor 5 seems to know the Wii hardware very well, and according too this interview, he knows how to make a good looking realistic title.

Well, I guess that ends the graphic whore-ness for this post. It does seem that developers are starting to realize that Wii has more power the most think, and with games like The Conduit coming, and Factor 5's Wii Project, aka Kid Icarus, we may finally see what Wii is capable of.

I should probably be off now. I must wake up early to go job hunting. I guess this is where I think of a cheesy crappy line that involves my name.... Enjoy your Daily Dosage of Durf!

Well I think that the comment should be more along the lines of the games look like early PS2 lifetime games. Because some of the later games on the PS2 were extremely beautiful and detailed, whereas a few of the Wii games, have looked a bit on the line as early PS2 era games. Regardless, it is nice to know that I am not the only person who seems to think that more is definitely able to be done with the Wii in the graphics department, its a cute little and powerful system that just needs to be further explored.
