Who is High Voltage and what has its members worked on previously? Anybody know? I need to get an idea of the talent involved here.

Actually, who High Voltage is is what's keeping me from getting really amped about this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Voltage_Software

here's a year-by-year list of some of the gems they've put out

2008: Go Diego Go! Safari Adventure
2007: Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (admittedly a well-written game, but it would've worked better as an episode of the show, and not a game at all)
2006: The Family Guy Game
2005: 50 Cent Bulletproof: G-Unit Edition
2004:Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Lade

I'd say it's pretty likely that they were making shovelware and licensed crap so that they could make something like this, Mr. Khan.

They're still an unproven developer as far as original stuff goes, though.

The new shots look really nice, but I have to admit that they still seem pretty "fuzzy"

Are you clicking the "Hi Res" button in the top-right? That let's you view the full image, as our gallery software sizes things down automatically.

When Joystiq pre-empted Wiifanboy and linked to this gallery, I was kinda amazed at the dismissal of the graphics as 'last gen.'

I think these are far better than anything on the Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube. The characters seem to have noticeably more polygons (based on the smoother edges). And I look at the hand, the fingers seem to be differentiated rather than the usual 'mitten' hand. The textures look more detailed. Find a PS2 or Xbox game that looks better than, if even as good as these shots.

Now, we know they've said they have hit 30 FPS but are trying to get to 60 FPS, which is significant.

We haven't gotten a really good idea of the distance for the scenes, but these shots show that the Wii is indeed somewhere between the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox and PS3/360 graphics.

Good going, Wii fanboy.

You're coming up in the world

I am pretty excited about this project. Would like a decent fps on the Wii.

Don't forget that Wii-screens is usually very ugly. So if you think this looks good. Wait til the full games comes out!

I'm ready for a new trailer!! At least a couple of seconds of gameplay......

So why is every one having such a nerd-gasm over this game? The bastard child of Turok2, Redsteel and Goldeneye? Is that supposed to be innovative? If it's the graphics people are really excited for then whatever happened to the old Wii adage of Gamplay trumps all? When omeone reports on how this thing controls, perhaps then will people have a reason to even care, really. Besides it doesn't even look that good, let's be honest here. While we should commend a new developer starting up a new, mature-like IP on the Wii I don't think that should cloud everyone's judgement into thinking this is going to be some messiah of FPS... generic doesn't even begin to describe the way this looks. Did everyone forget this is the system with MP3? So yeah... why does everyone care again?

rimbaud said...

Please excuse all the typos and I'll excuse the fact there is no edit button!

The Dom said...

Same question could go to you, why are you so negative? I think people are happy with the developers comments from a little while ago saying that the wii is capable of much more graphically and deserves more hardcore games. That and the wii is in dire need of a good FPS with some online multiplayer.

Thanks for the screens NWF

rimbaud said...

If negative is begging the questions for lucidity then call em negative all you want. I said we should of course commend developers for their efforts, but let's not get carried away by as of yet, completely unfounded flights of fancy...

6-13-2008 @ 4:43PM

CJLopez said...

If this one doesn't like you, well, they can't satisfy every one, just let other be happy with this. You gave your opinion don't make it sound like you are the ultimate one to have reason and everyone should follow, it will only make seem like a bad person to everyone who did like this

"Besides it doesn't even look that good, let's be honest here."

"generic doesn't even begin to describe the way this looks."

Seems negative to me. You shouldn't be so worried about what other people get excited over. I am looking forward to it and so are others. Why do you care really?

6-13-2008 @ 4:39PM

rimbaud said...

Gosh, excellent points. I shouldn't care that you care that I care that you care that... FUCK the semantic insanity. I should have known better than to try and comment on an internet blog.

6-13-2008 @ 4:45PM

CJLopez said...

BTW, there is a reply button you could use to keep the comments more clean and organized, if you hadn't seen it, is under you original port, right bellow the comment text, please use it and keep the good organization of the comments

Man, just can't get enough of this game. A trailer please High Voltage!!!!!!

Man, this year is getting better and better in the videogame world, on the contrary, my wallet wants to eat, xD

averxd said...

know one should be worried about the controls they said they played metroid and medal of honor. but what i wanna know is online is it gona use “friend codes” r do like medal of honor and let you have gamertags?

6-13-2008 @ 5:05PM

Mr Khan said...

If EA picks this game up, then they could use EA Nation or whatever it's called, and not use friend codes, but pretty much any other publisher is going to go with Nintendo WFC, and have them

i cant wait man ik its about gameplay more than graphic but some times its nice to have both

Is this compatible with the zapper or perfect shot?

Wii Fanboy-

You should try and set up an interview with someone from High Voltage with reader submitted questions. That would roxor.

I absolutely can't wait for this game.

6-14-2008 @ 8:02AM

Nils said...

Been wanting to say this before, but now I'm sure. We've been had by the nose. They may try hard, but those graphics do not even surpass metroid prime in any way, let alone looking like an xbox 360 game. Have you ever played a 360 game? This does not even come close. Everyone says the graphics are great because thats what the developer wants us to believe, its called marketing and soft form of propaganda.

It looks acceptable, nothing more nothing less.

Holy Crap! People are killing eachother on this blog.
:D

This actually looks like it's coming along nicely. But we'll have to wait and see about gameplay. :D

I hope this game has voice chat. every great game needs voice chat

6-14-2008 @ 3:53PM

Fullmetal Salchemist said...

Yeah, I'm ever so desperate to hear 13-year-olds call people "noob" and "fag" over voice chat.
