Red-Steel Observation

[Administrator]

I saw this on Gamespot...

Is this an example of the rest of the "Iceberg"?

Check out the close-up of the handle of the Katana:

It looks like there is actual height in the handlewrapping; I mean it looks so much better than a "regular" texture.


I think it looks very good and responds to all those claiming the Wii won't be very good graphically...

That may be the 'displacement mapping' that Nintendo patented not too long ago being put into action. It's definately a killer blow to the theory that the Wii won't be able to pull off fairly good graphics. They're still incredibly weak compared to the other next-gen consoles, but nonetheless, I expect to see more from it.

I agree with Ender, It ends speculation that the Wii isn't even as good as first gen Xbox.

looks very nice, i don't think the wii graphics will be awesome but they certainly won't be as bad as some are billing them to be.
