E3 2006 \ First Ever Wii Screenshots

[Reginald]

Sure, there have been some grainy scans and stuff, but here are the first ever screenshots from a Wii game.

They are from Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam and I will be the first to admit they are a little dissapointing, on an average with some of the current mid-range Gamecube games. Either way, any news is good news.

Below are my "pick of the shots" and then a link to the pictures.

All pictures: Link

EDIT: In fairness, they aren't too bad when compared with American Wasteland for 360. Considering the 360 is supposed to be massively more powerful.

American Wasteland shot below:

Is he doing a skateboard trick on a skateboard?

Graphics aren't anything to be amazed about but i bet the gameplay is good. I'm waiting for Nintendo's games, i bet they'd look amazing.

 

[Mr. Redundant]

wow that almost rivals the psp gfx

but seriously.... I know it's a hawk game, and probably nowhere near final, but that doesnt even compare graphically to last gen, let alone next-gen.

red-steel looked a lil more on par for what we should be expecting.

Yeah, I'm betting the Nintendo in-house games will look amazing, seeing as they've got more experience with the hardware. Bring on Super Smash bros.!!

Red Steel looked much better (atleast from the scans). I bet this game is early in development. We'll see in a few hours

Draw-distance aside, graphics are ho-hum. But unless the player on the left isn't having a constipation moment, I'd say actually playing it is pretty fun.

 

[Asuka]

Why would they show this off? Wth is wrong with them...

 

[SimonomiS]

Meh, only a Tony Hawk game, wouldn't bother me if they were amazing or crap.

graphix sucks as the word wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

so people lets wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[MultiVaC]

I hate to say it, but those graphics are terrible. Like, worse than PS2 terrible. Where are these Red Steel screens everyone is talking about, anyway?

 

[Javert]

Upon realising my first post was totally stupid and that it was more a general outrage at the crappiness of the shots, I've realised that it's most likely that Activision had rushed to get a demo of this game up and running for E3, and are going to be stressing that the final game will look much better. Their priority was very likely getting the controller working properly for the show, and not making the game look amazing.

*gets a cookie*.

i agree with you man

 

[JNightshade]

It looks like a late N64 game :x

Anyway, in this case, even AMAZING graphics won't make me buy that game. Downhill skateboarding? F*cking stupid. The series has been going downhill since THPS2 :|

Took the words right out of my mouth. This looks like N64, and the Tony Hawk series hasn't been any good since Tony Hawk 2 rocked my world.

this must be a joke..

 

[Mechagodzilla]

I'm not really convinced this is reflective of the Rev as a whole.
First off, the Tony Hawk series has always been the graphical asshole of the game world.

And, second, you can't honestly believe that the final Rev will have inferior graphics to the Gamecube.

 

[Gargantou]

Don't think this is reflective of what the Rev can do, Tony Hawk games on the 360 looks P.O.S. too, basically they just look like a higher-res DIRECT port of the XB version.. So I think we'll be seeing "alot" better graphics such as Red Steel etc imo.
