Developers have an attitude that just isn't survivable with the success of the Wii. The Wii will be successful whether developers adapt to it or not, and if they don't adapt to it, they may make money in the short run with quick cash in games, but they will ruin their reputation and will be even less successful in the future. Developers aren't adapting, and they NEED to adapt. That's the whole point of this thread. I'm saying this as much for the developers as I'm saying it for the Wii. If you're trying to make excuses for the developers and pretend the Wii is just a cheap toy that only has waggle, sorry, but you are wrong. You're only contributing to the problem by encouraging the developers and fooling them into thinking they'll somehow survive by making half-assed games. It's not like you're going to buy any of those half-assed games, so what possible justification for it can you have to support their production of half-assed games? |
I think that developers would ruin their reputation turning to the Wii and developing primarily for it.As long as some others keep pushing forward the graphics/engine/IA technology those that take a step back to the Wii/PS2/Cube/Xbox technology will be left behind.Theres a learning curve in technology after all.They cant just forget about this ,and they cant port the demanding titles to the Wii ...what can they do?
And you are mixing up reputation with sales.Developers who stick to PS3 and 360 and PC and come up with great titles will keep their reputation.And they dont neccesarily NEED to adapt.Theres enough of a market in PS360 and PC to survive the casual onslaught without surrendering.Smart people ,as Ubisoft ,are taking the clever approach ....give its AAA titles to the great machines and then squeeze out the money out of the Nintendo saps with some name-only cheap spin-offs and kiddie franchises as Petz and Catz and Imaginez Babyz.And its working.Their AAA games (AC ,RSV2) sells great on PS360 and PC and their casual things sell great on the DS and Wii.Why should they change?
