Look, why can't anyone understand? Nintendo was being lazy so they just increased the speed of the system they already had. They spend little money on doing anything, then they market it so that people can drop a dookie over the idea of "revolutionary games!" All the games on the Wii suck except Zelda. Everyone is trying…
strange adam...so far the only fun i am having with the wii is solo gaming...wii sports can entertain you for something like 3 hours , no kidding ( if you have friends ) But yeah i agree that the wii isnt powerfull...maybe this might make some teams actually try to make well optimized art instead of going polywaste 1000…
[ QUOTE ] too bad because you decided to not go powerful and "focus on the game design"... [/ QUOTE ] They don't go "powerful" because: A) They can't afford it. B) It wouldn't generate maximized revenue. Nintendo isn't running a gamer's charity. They exist to make money, and making money is what they're doing. Whether or…
Forgive me if i made it appear that I my arguement was all that the innovation is about cheap hardware and lower dev/consumer price. Well, no it surely wouldnt hurt for the system to be powerful, and really my arguement was that implementation of IR and Motion sensing was Nintendos attempt to make a fresh new experience. I…
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] let the old stuff rest in peace, the emulators are already here for those who really want that sort of thing. [/ QUOTE ] Have you tried emulating any of the CD based systems? I don't know about the gamecube, but emulation on the PSX has always been a total headache and I don't know if there's even…
I honestly don't understand this. I see huge long posts about how going cheaper "allow them to push the envelope of their own games" which makes no sense at all. The only thing making the system cheap and less powerful does is allow Nintendo to sell lots of them by virtue of the lower price and (allegedly, I haven't seen…
i agree with asthane. whoever says they like the wii because "it finally realizes that graphics don't make a game and its all about the design!" is simply an ignorant idealist. why? because more power DOES equal more DESIGN capabilities and possibilities. spore for example, want more advanced ai for a more fun game? want…
I completely agree with you Vig. More power means more possibilities. With PS3-level power we can get truly immersive gameplay because you are actually able to affect/influence your environment in ways that were impossible before. The Wii simply doesn't have what it takes to run something like Force Unleashed. A lot of it…
[ QUOTE ] ok cool. party system... sooo... its the Nintendo Minii-game, not the Wii? I don't get it. [/ QUOTE ] Wii, as in we want to play games together. Wii as in W-i-i the i's being two people, notice they didn't call it the Wi, that would be a single player experience. Wii as in the commercials, two people show up and…
You lot all seem to be missing the point of what he was saying, i really think his point was much more towards *processing power* for AI and physics than it was for graphics. But all you guys do is the cliche OMG PIXELSHADERS DONT = FUN LOL comment that we've seen posted constantly on these boards for the last 5 years. I…
