Wii component cable

[bignige]

Actually, that's rubbish! Resident Evil 4 is testament to how good the Gamecube hardware can look, which is on a par with most Xbox 1 titles. If the Wii is a souped up Gamecube then producing something as good looking as Resi 4 must be possible.

Whether developers outside of Capcom are capable is another matter....

Good luck getting it to run full screen though....

Don't get me wrong, I'm not expected anything like 360 visuals, but the change from playing something like Viva Pinata in HD to playing Zelda on the Wii was a shock to me. I just didn't expect the difference to be that huge. Maybe I expected more having been a big fan of Resi on the Cube.

I agree, programmers have to take the DS route and concentrate on the gameplay first and foremost.

It's weird. I'm playing on composite and even though it's smeary as ****e I still think it looks pretty great.

What do you except? This is "Wii component cable" thread which is also better known as "those who have modern hugeass LCD televisions, stand up" thread. Nah, just kidding, but some people in this thread really seems to overexaggerate how bad Wii games look. And before you guys even try to use "you haven't played with other next gens consoles with HD-television" card, I'm avid PC-player and know pretty well how nice latest games look.

What size monitor are you playing your PC games on? I'm not slagging the Wii games off as such, just passing comment. The graphics may be nice, but they look pretty crappy on a big TV. And it must be bad when its the first thing my wife commented on!

If your getting crappy wii graphics on a big screen tv then im sorry to say your tv is ****.

My tv is a pretty ancient 42" rear projecton screen tv & it provides a fantastic display via a component cable & thats just in interlace mode.

Hell even the s-viseo looks great

Lol, I knew there was a simple explanation.

Well, we've apparently managed to reserve one at our local GAME (They're expecting them in though they don't have numbers - nobody ahead of us in the queue) for Friday. Fingers crossed.

I've had my component lead for just over a week, how are people saying theres not much difference! I think it looks superb!

Sharp, crisp and clear - although it does have a few jaggies - i'll post some pics, via my dodgy N73 camera!

Is that an official or 3rd party cable?

He speaks the truth, taken my Wii over to a mates house, and he has some ****ty 32" lcd made my medion i think or someone equally as obscure, looked absolutely dire, im not exagerating when I say composite looked better on my tv that component did on his.

My Play-Asia cable has finally finished its long and winding journey to my front door! WOO!

Incidentally I emailed Amazon today asking where my official component cable was, and they apologised profusely and gave me a ?3 voucher, so there's something to try!

thanks for the link mate. just ordered.
im desperate for one, the stores near me don't have a friggen clue what im asking for. phoned up game today, saying they dont know when they are coming out and all they have had so far is the controllers. same goes with gamestation, but they just fobbed me off on the phone. one guy didn't sound like he had a clue, he sounded incredibly nervous on the phone and went eerrrrm...no.

I was lucky enough to get my official japanese wii component cable this morning, ?13 from yes-asia. the quality is excellent, zelda looks so much crisper now. the virtual console games all work on my NTSC-US Wii in 480p even though some reports indicated this could be a problem, mario 64 was much improved, sonic showed up the pixelation present in the original megadrive game, the blurryness is GONE!

[reektan]

Well... the menu's have lost the hazey type effect and are quite crisp. Zelda looks almost exactly the same though. You notice a slightly higher level of clarity now and then and some of the smaller text is nicer but across the board its very similar. This is on a 32" LCD LG ( this was at night in Kakariko village )

Now I just started a new game as I knew it started in a sunny area and now it really does show to be a lot more crisp. As many have said, yes, it does highlight more jaggies but it looks a lot more vibrant and isn't all 'soft' and out of focus.

Rear projection tv's are an entirely different kettle of fish to LCD panel tv's so advising it's fine on a rear projection doesn't really help the situation.

On the whole. As pleased as I could be really. I wasn't expecting to have a mind blowing change so i'm happy.
