| jarrod said: lol, no. MH3 was built ground up around Wii spec, there's literally no shared code with MH2. And it looks dramatically better too, as one should would expect from a machine with double the clockspeeds, triple the memory and a superior GPU. And it's not just looks, monster AI has been dramatically overhauled as well. MH3 is a shining example of what developer *should* be doing with Wii, it's a game that PS2 literally couldn't handle unless it was significantly scaled down. Any current demographic issues are directly a result of 3rd party efforts. I agree there's some problems now, but that's entirely due to 3rd parties not cultivating those audiences in the first place. Just look at the difference with how Activision's handled Guitar Hero versus Call of Duty on Wii, and how that's shaped the target base for each IP on the console. This isn't something a $10 price increase would fix, if anything it'd likely make issues worse (as I seriously doubt a $10 would bring general Wii budgets in line with even AAA PS2 games, it'd still be getting mainly shovelware). |
