Rev Graphics barely better then GC?

[Jonbo298]

Well, got the newest EGM today and according to the rumor section area, early dev kits sent out to developers, they are saying the graphics are barely better then Gamecube.

Hoping its not true but who knows

[GameMaster]

If it is true, I'll only be buying one to sell on eBay the next day. I demand jaw dropping graphics from all my next generation systems and I don't take, "No," for an answer.

[Swan]

How about a "maybe" GM?

[Teuthida]

If it's true (which I have no doubt that it is) I'm gonna need plenty of cel-shaded games to be appeased.

[Acebot44]

This seems pretty likely IMO. I don't know, I've got a gut feeling about this, and my gut is quite appeased at this moment with some Vanilla Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream.


But hey, it ain't no Cookie Dough! AM I RITE!?

Perhaps part of the revolution is that the gameplay is the real appealing factor, not the graphics?

With the way mainstream gamers are graphic whores, thats why this came up

Or at least that's what they're hoping for, and that they also hope it will actually sell well in a market with 2 graphical beasts...

Anywho I'd heard this rumor before... *shrug*... I could see it being true so that they do focus on the gameplay, while being able to sell it for cheap (Less than the normal new system minimum of 200? *strokes beard*)...

But at the same time, I believe someone from Nintendo (perhaps the prez himself?) said something about the graphics not really being much worse than the 360/PS3 level? Though he could be on crack... Maybe there's some sort of disease that causes every President of Nintendo to go insane?

[Canyarion]

Nintendo tells contradicting stories about the graphics. First they tell us that the Revolution won't have much worse graphics than 360/PS3, later they say it won't have the same power.....

Nintendo probably thinks the new Zelda almost looks as good as the next gen games.

When the controller was revealed and they didn't show any graphics, I had N64-graphics in my mind.

And only NOW the dev kits are out?

[Neo]

I thought they said a while back that kits were already "out there." Though who knows what kind they were and how many received them?

There's no real way to quantify what "not much worse" means. I will be quite disappointed if there is a noticeable difference between revolution graphics and 360 graphics.

[MuGen]

After seeing the Revolution controller, I highly doubt they put any more emphasis on their graphical leaps and bounds, then needed. I think they worked more towards a way to make their controller revolutionary, rather then making a beast of a machine.

The only thing we can REALLY confirm that it's going to at least have better graphics then the Gamecube......... but how much better is another question.

[Jason1]

Barely better than gamecube? Somehow I doubt this...I mean technology has come a long way in 5 years time, surely they can at least double the power of the Gamecube for fairly cheap? Correct?

[Canyarion]

Yeah pretty good point. And somehow I can't imagine ATI delivering something cheap like that.

[Null]

of course they CAN make the graphics better.. the question is how much less of a cost would nintendo want to make it.. by making it not as technologically advanced as the otheres they could hit thier target market much better by getting the price even lower the expected.


im not saying this is true or not, but just that there would obviously be reasons they'd do what they decide to do.

[MuGen]

like i said... the only real thing we can believe at this point is that they'll at least be better than the gcn
