Ah Snakey the target market claims not to give a shit and then the next
minute, whilst looking at 360 pictures, claims that a Cube probably could
have rendered them. :)
I do love this kind of vague generalised, non-confrontational finger pointing.

If you're going to make accusations at least have the decency to direct them somewhere less vague than at everyone on the forum!
:P

Again, too many polygons. And too many effect for something that is basically a slightly faster gamecube chip based on a shaderless architecture. It's been a long time since the Geforce 3 came along...
In response Darkflame said:
Again, I merely think they arnt all real.
The ones at the back right on the hill at least look very flat, imo.
Check out the rabbits and trees in this and compare it with the first picture.

To which Darkflame said:
Obviously it cant do the resolution, but everything else in that specific pic could easily be done on the cube. Frankly, I dont think that pic looks good at all.
Have a look at this as well:

I think the second pic looks very similar to the first pic, and indeed the
third pic rabbits appear to be quite similar as well.



What the fuck is this then?

Check the links of the pictures above. The first is from a '360 site', and
the second and third are from IGN's 'revolution site' and the fourth from
IGN's 'Wii site'. It seems quite likely to me all the earlier pics of Rayman
are from a platform other than the Wii and most likely 360 or PC
development. But fear not the Cube could easily render them. :)

Aesthetically that's a perfectly reasonable opinion, but it doesn't
appear to be directly related to the other pictures. Snakey's hinted
on a few occasions that whatever was shown at E3 or screenshots
released around then it wasn't from a Wii.

I love the fact that even in our own love-in thread we have to resort to nit-picking each others posts ;)

That's just a comment some crazy kid left in a 10/2 speculation report I posted at 4CR. Probably some middle school spaz. I got a kick out of it :P

Look at the disclaimer at the bottom of the page:

http://raymanzone.uk.ubi.com/ravingrabbids/

So evidently Ubisoft is lying, then. For the record, the video doesn't seem possible on Wii. Hope it is, but doesn't seem likely.

From an E3 IGN interview...
IGN Wii: You've released some screenshots of Rayman Raving Rabbids. Are these from the Wii version?

Michel Ancel: Yes, so far they all come from the Wii version of the game.

Will Wright, Spore & consoles:
So what does the acclaimed games creator think of the new crop of consoles?

"I think there's a really interesting distinction between the Wii and the Xbox 360 and PS3," said Wright. "Something like the Wii offers a lot of interesting creative opportunities for the editors, with the controller."

Wright also highlighted the lack of mouse control with consoles, stating that "a console controller really makes you want the game avatar-based." According to Wright, this shouldn't be a big problem though: "With Spore, about half the game is avatar-based already - the creature game and the space game - and it would be pretty easy for us to make the intermediate levels avatar-based, so from the beginning, we thought about how we could move Spore to platforms including consoles."

I hope to see stuff like Spore and all kinds of different strategy games for the Wii, the controller looks like a good fit for these games.

You'd think there'd be a clean, simple RTS coming out for the DS but turn based seems to be where it's at. Alas, I think there's the market for at least one quality title. Like to see Westwood old boys do a nice portable C&C alike... doesn't have to be too complicated, just get the gameplay right.

Portable C&C would be fantastic, and ideally suited to the DS as well! Sadly I fear that most of westwood has been rolled up into EA, and those surviving are working on the next command and conquer title for the PC. But it would be fantastic to play original C&C on the DS.
