i seriously thought this was a port for the conquest game o_O;
makes me kinda stupid for not knowing a lot about Wii games.

I thought it would be the LotR games from PS2 ported to Move in HD

We can dream!

Neither am I, but clearly we're going to get them anyway!

 

I'm actually pretty sure that Sony's taken the view that:

1 - the Wii has set the baseline and to try something like Natal is too inherently risking as it is trying to reset the basic baseline for motion controls and is therefore riskier business move

2 - that by being similar PS3 will essentially get lots of Wii, etc. games ported over plus going forward developers will put titles on PS3/Wii but might hold of on Natal if it's too different vs the easy match of mote/nunchuck - i.e. in much the same way today we get 360/PC titles for easy conveincene we get PS3/Wii titles for easy convienience

3 - they will get sales from people (like me) who bought a PS3/Wii and who might be 'contained' to just the PS3 if it offers similar motion control experiences (personally I think Sony is underestimating how much Mario, etc. helps although clearly the main draw with Wii is Sports, Wii Fit, etc. for the non-Nintendo in-crowd getting Wii's who never bothered with a Gamecube).

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

SO you can expect to see this title that was earlier announced to be a ps2, Wii, DS title also on the PS3 with PS Move compatability this fall.... Looks like a fun game for fantasy RPG lovers :)

Not really. I think you are being premature. Have you noticed the sales of PS2 games? They are not selling very well. It is wise to cover all of your bases. I'm actually surprised that they left out the Xbox 360.

Sales may not mean much to you but it does to a developer and publisher. How else would they get a return on their investment? The PS2 is dying in sales and software sales. That's more of a reason to go to the PS3. It's a current Gen Platform and is still relevant. Yet as I stated before. Why is there not Xbox 360 version?

Well i mainly wanted a Wii for one thing, NSMB Wii, and PS3 will never have that. The Resident Evil games would be cool eventho i already own them for the Wii

NSMB Wii? It's called LittleBigPlanet! :P lol

I have LBP as well, but it just doesnt cut it.  I thought it could replace my 2D platform needs, but none can except a true Mario game.

But I thought wii graphics were "good enough"... of course I'd rather have the powerful ps3 visuals but this gives people less incentive to buy a wii I guess.
