Re:Madworld to be garbage - Feb 24, 2009 23:51
Casamassina who's a graphic and technology whore didn't notice till the equipment told him so and none of the the gaming journalists actually noticed a difference when they were playtesting it on occassions...
So either it already looked like "absolute crap" that nobody seemed to care to notice (which is very unlikely) or maybe.. just maybe it doesn't actually make that much of a noticeable difference since after all the previous playtest were most likely all done on HDtv's.



And ofcourse I'll have a blast with it. I don't give a shit about 480i or 480p.

There's a good reason I still got my good old SDTV since all my old consoles  and my Wii are hooked up to that one.
So I got old and new games who still look good on my tv. And with an HDtv I'd get new games that look a bit better and as good as fuck up the whole rest of my collection...hmmm what a damn though choice to make.

Especially considering how much I replay games I have. So far it's simply not worth it for me to buy an HDtv, doesn't help that I don't watch tv either besides some football games and F1. And as for movies I just run those on pc screen just like my PS3.

So as long as most of my games run better on my SDtv (or until it breaks)  than they would on a new HDtv I don't feel the need to buy one. It would just be a waste money to me. Money with which I could by a whole bunch of games with that I could enjoy.


And as for anyone who has a Wii and passes on picking this up just because it runs at 480i, well then you're just idiot plain and simple.


And a little side note. I can't remember my parents ever getting me a game

I think no one will notice since its just white and black blocks. Maybe the developers didnt want to waste what little they have of power on something that wouldnt make a difference and put that to use on something else. Hell, maybe thats the main reason the game is in black and white. I dont like the game and dont own a Wii (and dont intend to) but truth be told i didnt notice this when i was watching the HD versions of the game's videos on GT.

People will notice. If you've ever tried playing or watching standard definition stuff on a large HDTV it literally does (in my case at least) hurt your eyes and head. When I first got my Wii, I didn't think to get component cables, and I couldn't even play Twilight Princess until I went and bought some.

I knew this day would come soon. The day when videogames would be judged solely on how good the graphics look...

You're an illiterate dumbass. This thread has nothing to do with how the game looks, it has to do with it being unplayable on an HDTV.

So making a game unplayable for a large segment of the video game market isn't something a game should be judged on?

Just kidding. We know that no one who owns an HDTV actually gives a shit about the Wii.

What do you mean?  We never did give a shit about Wii.  Wii is about as important as the Gamecube. 

Most of us don't play simple games, we want to play more sophisticated shit.  Frankly even the 360 and PS3 are bellow our standards for what they offer but they're the only things out today.  As soon as the next gen consoles get here my 360 and PS3 are going in a box in storage.  Saying that people only care about the PS3 and 360 for HD is like saying that people only like Porsche and Ferrari for the paint jobs.  Even if I'm playing in SD the 360 and PS3 pisses all over Wii.  Don't try to convince me that a Honda Civic offers more thrills than a 430 Scuderia.  The guys with Scuderias don't care about Civics.  Why would they?

Wii games are about as compelling as the junk toys they give in cereal boxes.

I was just trying to annoy immortal, as it seems easy to do and I have very little in my area to keep me entertained. 

Anywhooo, I've gone down the Wii60 route, so I get the best of both worlds.

Try this great game called "Real Life". Or even "Talk to Girls".

Anywhooo, back on topic, I have had mixed feelings about Madworld from the start. Hopefully it will be at least decent, as the Wii needs as many good Third-party games as it can get.

Not  long. They've already sold every 10 year old and Jap 3 different DS's.

There's a rumor that Acer might release a Wii clone called the Hornet based on the the Ion platform (PC gaming). 

http://www.businessinsider.com/report-acer-preparing-a-wii-clone-called-hornet-2009-2

Performance wise that would be closer to the 360 than to Wii and it's a PC.

It looks fake but I'd be much more interested in this than the Wii for the same money.

I realize that not everybody will find MadWorld's unique visual and aural presentation appealing, but to me, the game is an instant collector's item and a Wii showpiece, not just for its amazing style, but for its label-busting content. Anybody who says Nintendo's console is just for kids will see things very differently after a few chainsaw- induced mutilations. More importantly, though, MadWorld does not place emphasis on style over gameplay, so there's plenty of fun, smart mechanics to back up the overwhelmingly slick look and sound of the title. You'll be floored by some of the scenarios that await you in the fast-moving beat-'em-up, surprise by the unexpectedly well-made storyline, and simultaneously grossed out and cracked up by all of the completely over-the-top gore. Even with some camera issues, some repetition, and a decidedly short single-player mode (if you play it on normal difficulty), SEGA and Platinum Games have still created Wii's first truly excellent game of the year. 

I'm begging you, buy this game so that we'll see more like it.


IGN Written review (4 pages)

IGN Video Review

It's worth reading the review and watching their video review. It's the best one I've seen in a long while coming from IGN and well it just gives you an excuse to see some more ridiculous violent MadWorld :lol: 

For those to lazy to read the whole thing or even to lazy to watch the video review it simply boils down to this.

It's an awesome game with only two little problems. The camera can at times be a bit annoying and the sound can at times bleed over into each other with the commentary, rap with vocals and sound effects going all at once.

Well everybody knew MadWorld was going to get a good score from IGN seeing as they covered the game for a whole month up to it's release. But even with that I would say that the 9.0 they have given the game is probably about the right score for this game.


And then some others


3DJuegos: 91
TV criticizes video games? OK, let's destroy, humiliate and condemn the worst aspects of television. Violence with sense in a brilliant video game in all of its facets that manage to demonstrate that adult and interesting titles for Wii are possible. Mad World is the powerful entrance of Platinum Games in the market of the electronic leisure. 


IGN: 90
I realize that not everybody will find MadWorld's unique visual and aural presentation appealing, but to me, the game is an instant collector's item and a Wii showpiece, not just for its amazing style, but for its label-busting content. 


Nintendo Power: 90

Although the game is unquestionably brutal, the violence is so over-the-top that it's more humorous than gruesome...For any hardcore gamer, this one is not to be missed. [Apr 2009, p.82] 


IGN UK: 89

Control issues hamper fluidity but there’s no denying that, with some investment, MadWorld rewards in huge doses, delivering an incredibly visceral experience that's as stunningly unique and obscenely entertaining as it is just plain obscene. 


Meristation: 80

Brutality, tons of blood and the most violent show ever seen to come exclusively to Wii. Former Clover members prove their talent with this beat'em up portrayed with this comic-book look drawn with black, white and red colors. Modern art with a great sense of humor mixed with a macabre tone, MadWorld can only be blamed for its 6 hours campaign and the little depth it offers as a brawler, compared to the biggest games in the genre.

There's already a handful great looking wii titles  in this years lineup. More announcements from Nintendo should take place in the next few months too.

Oh, that EA sports, motion plus-supported tennis game is looking awesome.
