Yeah, I posted a slightly better quality with a download link a couple of pages back. Check, and watch it from the original size window, good stuff!

Lol.

Thanks for staying clear from fanwankery.

Yeah good points Rambozo, nice summary of the situation I think. Gameplay Ã¼ber alles.

Lotsa good points around here, and on both sides.

Here's what I think:

Excite Truck looks pretty bad. Like Smuggler's Run

But it looks like a lot of fun to play.

SMG looks really sweet. Just checked out the latest HD vids at IGN and I was rather floored. Sorry, that does *not* look like a GC game, nor does it move like one. Obviously not pushing things 360/PS3 style, but absolutely gorgeous all the same.

Zelda looks like 'GC plus a little', but still manages to be beautifully lush.

Rayman looks beyond-GC good.

...and most everything else looks pretty nice.

Bottom line: Good enough for me

When asked if $250 is the final price, NOA says no...

I think it was either the Spectrum that proved that, or maybe the Atari VCS.

Exactly my thoughts allthough I am not exactly sure what we are seeing with the new Rayman, seems like just fmvs or mock ups at the moment.

ps. Fantastic avatar.

Why are you comparing SMG to a four year old game? Surely it makes
more sense to compare it to one of the best recent Gamecube games?

It would do, yes.
The thing is, there isnt much to compare too.
a) There isnt that many gamecube games
b) What games that do exist in the same, comparable, style, are pretty darn shit looking.

Pokemon.......Online

You can already see the rabid kids battling and talking about it at school.

If that card is played right then I don't think graphics power will matter to Nintendo anymore.

Sadly, the Pokemon game for the Wii looks like another battle game, rather then a proper RPG.

Its a real shame, and I cant believe Nintendo dont seem to be makeing one.
A 100% proper, 3D, pokemon game would be an insanely killed app.

It would take the budget and the devtime of Zelda, for sure, but its not like it wont sale simerla numbers.

I think it was either the Spectrum that proved that, or maybe the Atari VCS.

Yup, but the DS has purhapes made the boldness demo of it.
(eg, extreamly huge graphical difference with an absolute whooping difference in sales too).

No, it's definitely gameplay footage, and from the Wii build. Michael Ancel said so, and he doesn't lie

And if that Pokemon footage is realtime, it's pretty amazing.

Also, VHS and Betamax showed us that being more advanced does not automatically mean being more successful.

Well,depends what "advanced" means.

Didn't VHS have longer tapes first? making them more "advanced" in perhapes the most key area?
