I said it before and i will say it Again.. there is no reason AT ALL why games like gta4, mgs4, re5, halo 3 were not released on the wii... they are just losing so much $$$

Games like those or those exact games? Cause I can think of a really good reason some of those never made it to Wii.

 

 

they were released on last gen platforms so how come they can't be done on more powerful console? ALL ps360 games can be done on wii in the same exact way only with SD graphics. first xbox could pull of graphics that looked like from this gen so how come 2x or even 3x more powerful system can't? developers are just lazy that's all.

 

I fail to see one game mentioned in his post that was last gen. The Wii is hardly any better than an Xbox that isn't saying much since the xbox looks like crap now even Riddick on Xbox compared to the Remade Version of Riddick looks bad. Everyone knows thee Wii can pull off some nice lookign games but it cannot and will not pull off a MGS4 or Mass Effect caliber game. I like my Wii for innovative and unique titles not games that make me want to salivate over their beauty.

 

i'm talking about prequels of those titles and those types of games(stealth, rpgs, sandbox) gameplaywise - if developers were able to make them on last gen platforms in even better way then now(san andreas was bigger then gta4 and one of sengoku basara ps2 games could pull 6k enemies on screen without framerate issues compared to heavenly sword). we had morrowind, forza and riddick on xbox and we can have simillar if not better games on wii as well.

i don't want to mix "wii specs are better" in this topic, but while xbox used pentium gamecube/wii are using power pc CPUs that are practically 3x more powerful.

 

If Wii does get some games like that I'd not mind one iota bring em on I say. I still say The Wii can't even match PS3 and Xbox 360 as far as Processing Power, RAM and Graphics goes. But I agree it can have some epic titles I know it can if the Xbox did and it has roughly the same capabilities it can get things that are praghically as nice as Halo 2 and Chronicles of Riddick or as vast as Morrowwind most definitely.

Problem here is are Developers/Publishers willing to try it? With so many successful casual titles and not so many hardcore ones that are unless you look at Nintendo's hardcore games.

Madworld being a prime example of this...it's geared towards the hardcore crowd has a unique art style and some of the most insane finishing moves I've seen in any game to date. Yet it fails to sell well. Why? Who knows...on the brightside of things Japanese developers are delivering some nice Wii Titles so I say let's take a wait and see approach here.
