Xenoblade – Xenofail

It's actually an unrelated game? Well then, at least it didn't take excellent character models from a previous game and senselessly beat them with the ugly stick.

Xenosaga II still seems to be the series crowning moment of fail.

This is what happens when you try to cash in off of Duckface's odd popularity...
Looks to me they were aiming for Busa-Kawaii but ended up with downs.

Did a bookcase fell on her face or something..?

I want it but I can't play.:(

All developers ever do with the Wii is take a big fat shit on it, knowing they will make lots of money despite the lack of effort.

I really do think the Wii will go down in history as ironically, Nintendo's worst console.

Spring is coming...and failure is in the air.

in my opinion looks like another beta test (or alpha test?!)

fuck the wii

put this shit on a ps3

Way to do research, guys. Xenoblade has no connection to the Xenosaga series, other than the fact that it's being made by Monolith Soft.

Credibility fail.

A homage game for Streisand and (Michael) Jackson..?

To be fair, it doesn't look that bad design-wise. It does, however, disappoint graphic-wise. The hair, clothes and face remind me of the FFXII's engine, just not quite as polished.

Bundled with 4MB RAM Pack!

It fails as bad as this

OH MY KOSMOS!!! fap* 9000X

ゼノシリーズが非常に複雑な企業関係の上に成り立っているという事を、海外のファンでどれ程の人数が理解しているのか気になります。

Xeno series is made through a very complex business relationships

Looks like Nintendo doesn't shell out the absurd budgets Namco/ NBGI did, especially when their previous game, Disaster: Day of Crisis, was... well, a complete disaster, lulz.

It's a Wii game. Expect absolutely nothing.

Wtf are you guys on?! This has NOTHING to do with Xenogears/Xenosaga!!!!!

What did you except? It's a Wii title. >_>

I have two points of view in the argument. Graphics do NOT equal gameplay, Xenoblade looks like it is going to be an amazing game based off the universe alone.

The other one is that the PS2 is quite a bit weaker than the Wii, but my guess is that with Xenoblade they wanted to keep it to one disc, and thats why it doesn't look as good as the 2 DVD Xenosaga Episode 3 (look at the graphics of Episode 2 and get back to me)

Just don't play it if you don't think it looks good. I sure as hell won't. The only part of the series I care about it the one with the title "Xenosaga"

rofl.... bad choice to put a game that's heavily based on cinematic and graphic on the wii... XD

It's possible that they're not fully human...the quality checkers, I mean.

Well duh, this isn't a turn-based game. They can't just take the other characters and monsters off the screen when they're attacking like they did in Xenosaga.

This looks more like Xenogears in style too, this area reminds me of the forest and Dazil.

It's rare to see a facial structure rendered in anime-esque style that either doesn't fit the golden ratio or doesn't intentionally shoot for childlike features.

She has a slightly retrognathic lower mandible, the distance between her mouth and chin is relatively high, and her slightly-hooked nose protrudes noticeably from her face. To make a long story short, she looks like Margaret Hamilton minus the prosthetics and makeup used to transform her into the Wicked Witch of the West.

There's nothing wrong with the technology or polycounts, here. It's just an ugly face. So what? Not every fictional character has to be blessed with a supermodel face. I think it lends realism to stir at least one or two average-looking mugs into the mix.

Who cares about the graphics? Graphics do not make or break a game!

Is it fun to play? How's the story?

dont lump xenogears together with those pieces of garbage that are xenosaga.

I tell you what though, the character models may be pretty shonky but maybe that's due to the rest of the game. The sense of scale in the environments is impressive, and some of the screens I've seen show a truly beautiful world. I think they've sacrificed some of the power of the Wii to have that lusciously thick grass.

I'm actually rather interested in this game, the art direction reminds me of FFXII, which can only be a good thing.

god i've been waiting for "xenosaga 4" for so long. want to use my kos-mos goddess again.

i hope to god she is not in this trash.

This isn't related to Xenosaga at all. Are you retarded? Did you do any research before you posted this?

I don't know if you guys ever heard of a little title called Super Mario Bros., but what matters is gameplay. If I want super high res graphics, I'll watch the Godfather.

Christ.

just wait for them to port it to ps3 and everything will be fixed

Funny. In Final Fantasy titles, they dedicate the most polygon estate in the faces. Whatever processing power is left after rendering them gets used for everything else (bodies, scenes, other objects.)

Looks like they did the reverse in this title. The world looks great, the faces not so much.

How the hell did the game make it this far without someone looking at the character models and saying "hold on, this looks kind of messed up".

It's not the console's fault if the developers are too lazy to work out the game to its fullest. FFXIII is another example too, although not for the graphics.
The Wii can have pretty nice looking games... just think that zelda twilight princess is game cube top tier graphics, which means that the wii can easily do better than that - and zelda tp's graphics are all in all pretty nice. Much better than anything the ps2 could put out anyway, to those saying the wii is ps2 level hardware. :\

. . . GACK !!!, . . . Hurls Chunks!!!

Xenogears was my favorite.

Also god damn, the xenosaga series has way, way better models and it's a much older game. Someone got lazy.
