BioWare: Is the Wii Actually Gaming?

Actually what he's saying makes perfect sense. None of the current Wii lineup are really defined by their stories. Would you like to argue that Super Mario Galaxy's story was awesome? Super Mario Strikers? Brawl? ...? The Wii doesn't have a lot of games with detailed stories at the moment.

Okami and Fire Emblem say hi

In all seriousness though, it sounds to me like he thinks a market is being underserved. You know what you should do with underserved markets? As proved by the Wii's success, the answer isn't "Ignore it".

I don't think his comments in that respect are that off-base, but if he wants to tell me that a game without a strong narrative isn't gaming, I would just laugh in his face and go play Galaxy. A story does not make a game.

Fire Emblem I'll give you, but from what I know of Okami it's no more defined by its story than Zelda.

And a game without a strong narrative isn't Bioware gaming. Story-driven RPG stuff is what they do.

If your going by that... what does the PS3 currently have that fills that? Folklore... maybe? Certaintly not Oblivion. Games with long complex stories tend to take a long time to make. It's not a matter of system so much as it is time.

 

I agree.  The 360, PSP, and DS are the only systems that could be considered at this point.
