Far Cry on the Wii doesn't look that impressive though.

Just like every other wii game.

Innovative or not, I do not want to play all my games like this.

Watch the Sonic and the Secret Rings TGS trailer. It will leave no doubt in your mind that this November you will be playing with........... POWER!!!

So we've done a whole host of things that put the game far in advance of the GameCube and we think better than the Xbox. And in some cases, we're challenging the Xbox 360 on graphics. Additionally we've upped the texture quality on players. Textures are a higher quality. In many cases, they are higher than the Xbox version. We've added a whole host of features like depth of field. We've added a feature we call cinematic lens effect, which is like when you look through an actual television camera and straight lines get a little bit bowed in real life. We've increased the shadows. The shadows are better. Our grass looks like it has more depth to it. It looks more lush than GameCube. It's definitely a much better looking game than on GameCube and we think that it really is challenging Xbox 360 in some places.

The part of the quote that I found interesting is the claim that Wii games should look like Xbox games. I would have hoped for better.

Launch titles will look as good as xbox, but you have to bare in mind the GC was about as powerful in terms of hardware and will have some amazing stuff to make people think twice as far as their long-term budget is concerned.
