| Kyros said: Half-Life2 on the Wii. Of course why don't they port Crysis.  . People get real. Companies do not seem to think that its worthwile to port games that were designed with PC/360/PS3 hardware requirements in mind to the Wii. And why should they? They would have to completely throw away textures/Vertex-meshes the complete art-work and redo them. This is not a simple downsampling. Besides I think it is a crime against a master-piece to play Half-Life2 in SD. Yes you can do that on 360/PS3 also but you shouldn't. Just as a disclaimer I have no problem with DS but games have to be designed for it. Could they port HL2 to the Wii? Of course. But that doesn't make it a good idea. If Valve wants to develop Wii games they will make a new game. |
Someday like most people you'll learn that companies work by the dollar, not the mind. Things are done in businesses to obtain a green outcome. Thus why EA hasn't had at least another one of their devs other than Valve work on porting it is surprising, as the monetary outcome that could come of it would be pretty high. Probably goes back to the stereotype that Wii gamers don't by mature games.
