Why does the Wii version look like a PS2 title?

[AtomixIGN]

I mean really. What engine is that running on?

That does not look good. Even if you NAIL the controls, you're not going to move units looking like that.

LOL Shaun White looks like a caveman and yes, I wanna know too?

And I totally agree SSX Blur looks much better even We Ski~!

surely the Wii is just a kids toy and a parents excuse to say the kids are doing exercise...

get a proper gaming machine and it'll look sweet http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/35.gif

I have to agree here. If you want graphics, go for a next gen console.

Everyone who gets a Wii should know that they're getting a console that's about intuitive controls rather than next-gen ground-breaking graphics.

That kind of childish response is just an excuse for poor development. We're not asking for top end, photo-realistic graphics here; but surely we should be able to get better than last gen.

The Wii is capable of such things, just look at SMG, SSBB, Twilight Princess....sure, their graphics aren't up to par with Assassin's Creed, but they're 10 times better than last gen and that's what developers should aim for.

I'm willing to give Shawn White Snowboarding some time before I make a decision, since this isn't the first time early game stills didn't do a game justice, but looking at Ubi's track record with the Wii, I'm cautiously optimistic and certainly not getting my hopes up.

More like a mobile phone game. PS2 games often look better if they're not made by amateurs on their part-time.

this is a dev interview for the wii version,the screen shots previously posted are of poor quality and you cant expect to take a perfect picture using a mobile phone. like the admin said only trust oficial sources. so next time before you judge a game look for screens wich have been taken using a capture card.
so heres the facts:
the character in the screens isnt shaun as confirmed in the video.

its about intuitive controls and the use of the balance board looks great.

the video does the game justice even though the video capture device is not of the best of quality

and lastly, not forgetting its still 6 months till realease.

your right in saying your entitled to your own opinion but at least apply some logic to it before your voice it.
