For our first Industry Insight feature, Lead Designer and Producer for Medal of Honor Heroes 2 Matt Tomporowski has written a postmortem on Heroes 2, outlining exactly what the team went through in achieving the final control setup in its first Wii – and console – effort.

Enjoy.

 

Read the article. Its 3 pages and interesting. Hopefully all future generations of FPS on Wii will learn from MoH:Heroes 2 and MP3 to perfect the genre experience on Wii.

Now for their next trick - figuring out how to get FPS to SELL on the Wii.


It's a shame MoH:H2 isn't selling better.  Not a great game, IMO, but poor sales will result in few FPS on Wii.

Easy, put in big name FPS, especially a really good exclusive.

I don't think a Wii version of a PSP game not lighting up the charts would put off developers looking to make an exclusive FPS.

That's easy; World War 2 ended a long time ago people! Get over it!



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Maybe Activison can do this for COD5 by hopefully putting it on Wii. That'd be awesome. And their James Bond game of course.

World War 2 never even started. I still call it "The Great War". It took Europe by storm twice, morphed into the Cold War, and then morphed into the War on Terrorism, which sadly can't end 'cuz you can't kill an ideology.

Yes, I'm over one hundred years old.

Every genre will be represented on the Wii, and maybe even some new genres will only come to the Wii due to its exclusive control schemes. Who knows!
