Endless Ocean Photo Gallery Saturday / 02.16.08 / 10:05PM / Joe
Since Nintendo didn't think it was worthwhile to allow you to save your Endless Ocean pictures to the Wii Message Board (DUMBASSES), here's the only way I can share my underwater photography with you. The old fashioned, camera-at-the-TV way.
That's a pretty typical scenario in Endless Ocean. Couple of fish swimming, with the usual flora-covered rock in the background.
At certain locations, you can pull up a zoomed-in perspective for a finely detailed view. Generally, this is where you find exceptionally small fish or crustaceans. It's a shame that the entire world doesn't have this level of fidelity.
That's not a lousy real-life camera photo; the game lets you screw around with f-stops. Now, I've forgotten everything college ever taught me about f-stops, but I know now that they can make the background purposefully blurry.
Between dives, you may find some animals visiting the deck of your boat. Birds like this one make a lot of sense. Penguins do not.
And that is just ridiculous.
These are just two photos of schools of bigeye travally that I quite liked.
There's a funny sidequest of sorts where a magazine publisher is constantly emailing you and asking for photos of certain fish that can be used in his magazine.
This is what passes for plot in Endless Ocean. You stumble upon a plesiosaur skeleton in a cave wall and your topside partner gets all excited about it.
Yeah, I'm sure that's the shark from that movie. |
