Epic: Our games don't appeal to the Wii's crowd.

[SaviorX]

Well, I've read every post on this thread.

First off, I want to say I love Gears of War 1 and will get Gears of War 2. However, that doesn't mean I don't find what Epic said as rude. If they aren't developing for the Wii, they should just say they are not and leave it at that. Instead, Mike Capps went on to belittle the Wii audience and assume their preferences without any proof.

You think, "Well, Wii owners don't care about graphics anyways, and that's what Epic is all about." I don't understand why people think Wii owners would settle for garbage graphics though. Some games, like Wii Sports are focusing on the gameplay only with the graphics just being centered around it. However, other games liked first-person shooters and adventures and all that have needed graphics for the immersion factor. But when those graphics are worse than what was shown last gen, then I can see where we have the problem.

Epic has two series, Gears and Unreal Tournament. Gears is great, but UT hasn't been good since the 2003 version. UT isn't selling millions upons million though. As to why people on this forum think a Wii game like that won't sell, when there hasn't been one single attempt is just short-sighted.

If Epic is so good, why can't they push a Wii game to its graphical limits? The hardware is so "backward", they should bee able to push those "outdated" specs to the limit in their sleep, but we'll never have any proof of that. There is no proof of their games not appealing to the Wii crowd when they have made no Wii games. If they made a game and it flopped, then they could say that. That's like assuming people won't buy an artists , music because "this race doesn't like it".

Some people just can't be spoken to, because they just HATE Nintendo in general, and condone the practices of disrespect towards them, so I'll stop here. A smart person once said to me, "There is no point in dumbing down your message to people who won't listen, because sure enough, they'll bring you down to their low level when you argue with them."
