Quantum of Solace's terrible frame rate



How could a developer ever let a game like this be released to the public??? The Wii is the leading SKU in all of video gaming and this is what gets released? A shame.

What's worse is that it's probably not the last time we see something like this.

Wii ain't getting any respect...

I'm still surprised at how much detailed and vibrant the levels look for a Wii game. If they would've gotten more time to fix the framerate, at least it would be bearable to try out.

I just got the game and beat the first level. I have to say the graphics on the Xbox 360 version isn't so great either. While it does have more detail and effects than the Wii version, the game just looks bland and mute from my first impression. I honestly couldn't tell the difference other than the chugging framerate and lame water effects. It's a shame Treyarch didn't honor the Call of Duty 4 engine's beauty. I don't know if the engine is already showing its age or Treyarch just doesn't have the muscles, that Infinity Ward has, to tackle the engine, but the graphics isn't something to get excited about. If that's the case, I wonder how Call of Duty: World at War will turn out.

Overall, the game isn't terrible as far as I can see. It's just a straight-forward first-person shooter. It may not have the graphical polish of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, but it does have the fast-paced shooting and frenetic immersion that made the fourth installment so great. I've only beat the first level and won't go further until after I see the movie so I don't get spoiled. I hope the movie will kick-ass even though it didn't receive as well as Casino Royale.

Answer: Nintendo being more open to publishers and developers on what they can release could be a good reason. See Phoenix Games. See Data Design Interactive.
