Forums - Nintendo - Could DMC4 be done on the Wii?

People need to stop making these kinds of threads.

Wii won't get any decent ports of 360/PS3 games any time soon, almost ALL game developers thought the wii was trash when it was first announced, very few bothered to develop for it. That's why DMC4, RE5, GTA and any game that started development before and during last year that was made for the 360 or PS3 will not get a decent or even no wii port at all.

Only (good) games (multiplatform or otherwise) that are coming to the wii would have only started being developed (outside of Nintendo) midway through last year, that's when the wii started it's break through. That's why KH3 is always a possibility for the wii (even though I would hate to see it there), but DMC4, RE5, GTA4 and big name titles that were announced within the last year won't get a later wii release.

So we'll just have to live with PS2 ports for now, and would you really want a graphically toned down Burnout, AC, DMC4 (not that it was a powerhouse) and RE5?

That actually depends, if the graphics are good enough (and the Wii is capable of doing it), why not? Especially if the controls are made so the gameplay better than the PS3/360.

@sc94597

Don't bother guessing the Wii's power. You really don't know and can only speculate. Just say it's stronger than the Xbox rather then specifying.

Well, you can always try to borrow a super-microscope and do a die comparison between Flipper and Hollywood... because you can borrow a super-microscope easily ;D

On-topic: I wouldn't mind a Wii version of Bioshock or Orange Box :)

Well considering the latter has a scalable engine (by word of the very developer), and the former was actually made in 1999...



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

 I think it could do the ornge bx cause the min reqs fot hl2 is1.2GHz powered PC with 256MB RAM, Win 98/ME/2000/XP and a DirectX 7 compatible graphics card. The wii definately could handle that. Also it doesn't have widows wearing it and its not producing hd. Sorry for spelling uing o/s keyboard

In short, the Wii of course can't match the PS3 and 360. Yet its specs are not as far behind them as systems an actual generation behind.


If the system that more powerful than he GC and Xbox, then why do all the big Wii titles look like GC games? Galaxy is only marginally better than Sunshine, MP3 marginally better, Brawl the same, Zelda since it was just a port, etc.


And this is where I saw that: A) You never played Mario Sunshine, or B) I can't take you seriously anymore.

Seriously man, normal mapping, bump mapping, specular lights, specular reflections, fur simulation, bloom and 60 frames per second stable are are just marginally better?

/facepalm


Go to gametrailers.com and look at the comparison video of Sunshine and Galaxy. You can list all the features you want but those aren't translating into much better graphics.


Play both games at home on your TV. If you can't notice a significant difference between SMS and SMG, then you definitely need glasses (or if you already have glasses, it's time for new ones).


QFT RolStoppable.

and @windbane: It seems I will have to take option B) I can't take you seriously anymore, because you just don't know what you are talking about. Those features are the ones that make graphics much better in any game.

If what you say was the case, Gran Turismo 5 wouldn't have much better graphics compared to GT4 because it only has shader effects, higher framerate, better models and better textures (just like SMG)... but I'm sure you would not apply that criteria to your beloved Sony.


My point is that listing features does not change the fact that the game is no huge improvement over GC games. I understand new features improve graphics.

Several developers have said the Wii is about as powerful as an Xbox, and so far my eyes confirm that. You can make up whatever stats you want, but until developers push the graphics more I believe I'll stick to my estimate.

I just said that. New tech and methods improve graphics, but listing them does not.
