| Mr Khan said: I'm still not seeing the hate for Dead Space Wii, at least not yet. To be a rail shooter doesn't necessarily make a judgement on the game's quality. My theory is not that it is a cash-in, but they are attempting to do a different spin on the game. They tried an exploration horror title, now they're trying a rail shooter, but purpotedly a rail shooter with depth. |
People are probably upset because they see this as EA still unwilling to commit to the Wii like they do to the HD consoles. Instead of making a game similar to the orginal, they opted to make it a rail shooter. Something everyone knows does pretty well on the Wii. And that's disappointing because when I heard they were making a Dead Space game on the Wii I was hoping for something like the Dead Space game I played on my PS3. A horror-action title with a RE4-ish set-up, not a rail shooter.
It's probably (part of) the reason Dead Rising on the Wii is getting so much scorn. They made a game very different then the orginal Dead Rising, while they make the game's true sequel on the HD consoles. That doesn't mean it's automatically bad, but it's frustrating to see companies release spin-offs retooled to stereotyping while they clearly put their best efforts else where.
