^Huh??

You revised your own argument to say that you've won it?
Your original position was that the Orange Box can't run on the Wii, regardless of settings.

"Now that what you guys feel has been said, HALF LIFE 2 CANNOT RUN ON THE WII. "

But you'll see my dorogoy ssj12, we could argue that the console versions of Orange Box don't run at max settings, because they have much, much less RAM than the recommended settings.

Everything is up to optimization my friend. I made Episode 2 run at very high settings on a friend's single core 1.8Ghz, 640MB RAM and GeForce 6200 AGP PC at around 25-ish fps @ 1024x768 thanks to it.

Yeah, lol, it can barely run on my PS3.

Either way, any game can be ported to any system. If it can't, it's the developers fault. It's called "lazy." After the PS3 port, I would be wary. Either way, I doubt it would be cost effective.

Crysis can be done on the DS, and it can be a better game than the original Crysis. Yes, you heard correctly. In the land where anything is possible, Crysis isn't the best game ever made. If a team of super-smart developers set down for years and made a DS game that was the absolute best game ever made, based it on Crysis, and slapped it on the DS, and it was somehow better than Crysis, then yes, any game can be made on any system. It's the games spirit that is ported, not its polygons. It's just cheaper to only port the polygons and we've grown acustomed to not expecting much from ports.

I would like to see Portal on the Wii for 20 bucks though. That's a really good game. The rest of the Orange Box...well, I've said I hate FPS, but Portal is fantastic.

HALF LIFE 2 PS360 CANNOT RUN ON THE WII

 Thats what I was implying, not that the game cannot run on lower  settings.

 Lmao he started a big war over nothing. When did anybody say the wii could run it at orange box lvls. We only said it would be superior to the original xbox version. 

i dont think the a wii disk could hold orange box nor do i believe it could run anything except hl2 and ep1. with tf, portal, and ep2. everything (im looking at you physics) would be dumbed down to an unholy degree.

trust me, i would love to have orange box but it will never come to wii. plus, i think anyone who thinks the wii could handle portal hasn't really played it.

err thats minimum settings... and it would run corerctly at 40 - 60fps if you set it to 800x600 or 680x480

The Wii discs have pretty much the same capacity as the Xbox 360's discs.

It's pretty obvious that this isn't going to happen, but it's still fun to hypothesize about it.  It would take some work to get the games to run in some form or another, but it is probably possible. 

Here's an example. If PES:08 were looked at Graphically, it's easy to say, "That game can't be done on the Wii."

However, the game certainly was done on the Wii, and done better.

Now, lets say PES:09 for the PS3 has better graphics than Crysis(for arguments sake). According to Leo-J, then PES:09 couldn't be done on the Wii.

Now, we all know it can and will, but that's just what he is implying here. He's implying that graphics and draw distances make games impossible to port to systems that aren't capable of those graphics.

While, in actuality, with PES, we saw a game that was actually improved from the original graphics focused game, and "dumbed down" graphically. Which not only proves that graphics can be reduced to port games to the Wii, but also that said ports might indeed be better than their original, because of certain features on the hardware of the system they are ported to.

No, if a developer doesn't port their game for any platform down to and including the Nintendo DS, it means accounting does not believe the company can make a reasonable return if they're looking for commercial success, or just break even if the port is a form of fan service to a given platform.

I have a feeling if a game like Orange Box was ported to the Wii, the results would be similar to Far Cry, which was my first PC based FPS experience on the Wii, and will likely be my last.

There is no reason for anyone who owns a PS3, 360 or decent gaming PC to buy such a game for the Wii. I say this as someone who owns all of them.

There is no reason for ports like that if they don't sell well and they are clearly a generation behind all other competing platforms.
