| famousringo said: I think people are just sick of getting the bait & switch with every franchise that comes to Wii. It's a parade of genre-busting spinoffs with little in common with the parent franchise besides the IP, and low budgets in common with each other. Hey, you're getting Dead Space, a third person horror/shooter. Just kidding, it's a rail shooter. Hey, you're getting a new Resident Evil. A third person survival/horror game? Nope, yours is a rail shooter. Hey, you're getting a new Soul Calibur fighter! And by fighter, we mean a cheapass hack & slash. How about a new Castlevania game? Platforming and powerups? No, yours will be a 3D fighting game! |
I officially agree with everything famousringo says from this point onwards. This is my new bible.
Seriously though, I understand that Wii doesn't always lend itself to typical games, but this is a little absurd. I seem to remember a lot of "traditional" games working on the Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox ... now suddenly you can't have a good 3rd-person game on the Wii.
I know it probably all comes down to demographics and percieved userbase and all that, but still. I was holding out on this one because I wanted to play a 3rd person Dead Space where you could tilt the Wii Remote for horizontal and vertical shots. You know, like Dead Space on 360, except with Wii controls and lesser graphics.
Now I'll probably just put my saved pennies towards the 360 version anyway. Looks like it's back to thumbsticks for me!
