where in that article is it stated that this is about the graphics? and i think the guy is quite right. wii is an upgraded cube with a remote. quite weak for something that want~s to be the next gen nintendo box and has to have a shelf life of around half a decade. has there ever been a system that was so underpowered…
I wonder if EA is going to fire that guy ? I mean insulting people they make games for seems like termination material to me ... man that guy had to be drunk right ?
While I could care less about his rant against the Wii itself, he's absolutely right. Nintendo doesn't give a fine fuck about games. Nintendo is about consumer whoredom. I don't have a problem with the Wii's specs. It's boring as fuck to play most games on it though.
[ QUOTE ] I'd say that still isn't quite right. Power and "fun" are almost completely independent of each other. There is hardly any correlation between the two (like I said before, I know of several DS games that outshine most Xbox games). [/ QUOTE ] Hence the fun bar not changing at all between the two graphs, just their…
[ 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.

Wii sports is fun until you realize its really nothing more than a tech demo. Then you've got... umm.... nothing? So we've got a…
[ QUOTE ] [rant]How many of you are still playing your PS2? How many of you are at a games company still developing for PS2? How many of you still play MAME roms, or even a classic console (NES, SNES, Atari 2600, Dreamcast, Mega Drive, etc)? Why... Because the games are fun, not because they have normal mapped…
[ QUOTE ] This is more like it: (Strictly talking about the constoles' ability, not the actual games made, obviously) [/ QUOTE ] I'd say that still isn't quite right.

[ 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 anything…
