| oniyide said: @lordtheknight your right sometimes it is more than graphics (PS3) but how about trading in performance for affordability??? Look at Wii, it was easy to afford but by going for the bare minimum they limited themselves to what kind of games it can support (no Fallout 3, GTA4, Just Cause 2) I know the argument "but they can use Wii ready engines) only in some cases, their is no Wii engine that could run Fallout 3. Even if the devs jumped through hoops to make one it still wouldnt come close to the HD conterparts. (im looking at you Dead Rising WII, you sucked) |
Some of the large scale games, okay (I agree that Dead Rising could not have had as many zombies on the Wii, but I still like it anyway due to better controls), but many were not that large scale, nor is the system unable to handle original games, and the loads of last gen games that can still be ported to the system.
Furthermore there is also a matter of developer affordability that is being ignored by the big developers, and only a few are really making money, while many are either loosing money or on a revenue rollercoaster.
Then the smaller developers have been embracing the Wii because they know they can afford it. Their niche games wouldn't sell any better on the HD systems, but would cost a lot more to make (and we've seen it happen).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
