Gaming developers are well-known for their bouts with hyperbole, especially those with something to prove. When it comes to delivering a truly compelling visual experience on Nintendo's Wii console, achieving greatness can be a badge of honor. With the upcoming rail-shooting sequel Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, it looks like Capcom is raising the bar to near-ridiculous levels of expectations by claiming they've squeezed "near Xbox360 level of graphics" from the waggle machine.
So says Japanese developer Cavia's Kentaro Noguchi:
"By adding in technology like HDR, global illumination, shadow/lighting and some filters, we feel that we were able to achieve some graphics that are the best you will see on the Wii."
Kotaku has the full interview with Capcom about the upcoming rail-shooter, and includes some new revelations and gameplay tidbits that should make fans of the horror franchise quite happy. Whether Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles becomes the "best looking Wii game" or not is less important than if they can deliver a compelling experience. The Wii has become THE place for quality rail-shooters, and there's certainly no shortage of zombie-themed games on the market.
