Wave race

If I had to pick right now I would say wave rider looks far more stunning than what nintendo is doing with wave race.
-
I haven\'t seen movies or very many pics for Wave Rider so I can\'t be judge.
But I will say that you must see Wave Race in motion to be impressed. It\'s beautiful, the water is outstanding and the enviroments move around so smoothly.
Both look to set the standards for the system they\'re on...
-
Out of the two pics i would have to say the PS2 one,but i have heard that wave racer is amazing when it is in motion.
-
The GC shot is better because the PS2 one has (look at the water):
*No real reflections
*Texture blurring
*Visible polygon boundaries
-
Clearly the GC pic. It\'s got water praying, and far better water in general. I think you picked a lousy pic for the GC one too, but that\'s beside the point.
-
They both look ****ty. Racer has lots of jaggies and Rider has lines going through the water and wierd looking joints. But Racer will mostly likely be funner.
-
I think you got some pretty poor pics there. The PS2 guy isn\'t even in motion, there is really no way to tell.
-
I would go with the GC picture..
But it seems to have crappy water-effects..
Splashdown has the best, yet..

Splashdown\'s water effects are the most impressive(the water spreads out when the rider turns.):)

Wave Race:Blue was very good reflections

Wave Rally has some nice refelection too

All look very good,but lets hope that all play good aswell.:)
-
Slpashdown looks better and just think gamecube came out almost 2 years after ps2. Come on nintendo can\'t you do better than this. Oh yeah waveracer cubed runs at 30fps which I think sucks.:thepimp: :thepimp:

Splashdown all the way IMO. :D
-
Yeah the water effects look really good in the other PS2 shots you guys posted.
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fps2media.ign.com%2Fmedia%2Fpreviews%2Fimage%2Fwaverally2%2Fwaverally_2.jpg&hash=9aa75e07e4b9acdacea240ef62df043e270a122d)
Also dont you think the guy on the jet ski looks really good?
Is there any movies that someone can post of the two games?
Because i think you can make a better judge ment when it is running.
:bounce:
-
LOL, I find it funny how you went out of your way to find a low-quality Wave Race shots, and it still looks better than whatever the **** the other game was.

For god\'s sake you can see lines in the water. The character model looks like crap btw.
Oh, and here are some better shots of Wave Race:Blue Storm

That shot\'s nice, because you can actually see every rain-drop hit the water.

It\'s looks better than Splashdown IMO. In SD,the characters models are weak, the water doesn\'t look real(neither does Wace Race\'s, but it looks too shinny), and not as clear and perfect reflections. Minor differences, but Wave Race is simply looks better.
And for anyone who thinks the game will be slow, download the movie entitled "Fast" at the bottom of this page. http://cube.ign.com/previews/15332.html

Are there any in-game shots of Wave Rally (Very Original Name :rolleyes::D) Here are some low quality shots of wave race. I don\'t know if the first one is in-game.
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcubemedia.ign.com%2Fmedia%2Fe32001%2Fwaverace2.jpg&hash=be0b13bde782609f904d6667a00668f743608259)
Very nice models.

Shweet water effects.
I\'m not posting for or against either game because, frankly, I don\'t plan on buying either one. I just want it to be a fair discussion.
Now, continue.

I think they both look like crap. In the end I\'m sure WaveRace will play better, but it\'s still lacking. They already stated that WaveRace will run @ 30fps. :( Plus, from the movies I\'ve seen of WR the music is junk. This isn\'t cartridge anymore, there\'s no excuse.
Despite all that, I\'ll prolly end up getting WR @ launch anyhow.
/ dm / end transmission. /

and despite all this arguing about awater effects, nobody knows what the gameplay is like, and i probably wont get a jet ski/waverunner game anyway.
stop arguing abou tthe graphics. it really doesnt matter in this gen IMO.

So far all of the Water Racers have played like you are driving a car on land, Wave Race though was the most fluid and real of all wave games thus far. Wave Race is the best in its class. You really have to see it running to see it good, all of the shots are Screen stops from Quicktime movies, I have the same ones.

You know that is real stupid why would I gt out of my way looking for low quality shots???I got that pic from gamespot and I posted from the most recent shots they had. I did not go all the way back to earlier shots I saw the most recent date and found a screen.:rolleyes: dude not everyone is trying to attack gamecube.
And I have already stated my interest in certain gamecube software. I\'ll let this one slide because maybe you mis judged me.

HOLY SNIT! Look at the background in that picture..... those trees look amazing! Not to metion the rock or whatever too.:bounce:
-
Ok. First of all you really have got to stop QUOTING THE PICTURES.
Please.
As for the games, both the original pictures look ****ty.
But the new pictures make it hard.
Splashdown has much better looking water and backgrounds, but as jumpman pointed out is not showing any real-time reflections. Once splashdown implements those, then it will look better, till then its a draw.

I agree with jumpman here, although i dont know if quDDus found a low quality gamecube pic on purpose, it is definetly one of the worst pics i have seen of the game, while the others are stunning. And overtake the ps2.

These games are not finished so we have to wait and play them in order to say what´s the best.
