Another way to look at it, is all of the PS2 ports the Wii is getting wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for the PS2.

There might be no:

Rockband Wii
Baroque
Guitar Hero 3
Alone in the Dark
Ghostbusters Wii
Starwars: The Force Unleashed Wii

or many other games if it wasn't for the PS2 sticking around for a little while longer than we all expected.

It's not certain that these games would even be ported to a lower graphical standard if there wasn't more than one system for them to be ported to.

Don't listen to the anti-Wii talking points. The PS2 brings more games to the Wii, that it takes exclusivity away from the Wii. I say, let it go on forever, cause that just means more quality Wii ports.

Guitar Hero 3 Wii is not a PS2 port. To many people (me included) it is the best version of GH3. Of all those games, only Rockband seems like a PS2 port and there is added content.

Of course, you might have been joking :)


Woah, woah, woah. Mono sound in a new Music/Rhythm game while every version has proper sound.

And the guitar thing is your opinon and you don't even mention the 360. Is the Wii version the best because you stick the Wiimote in the guitar. That makes it the best?

Wii version may have the Best Guitar due to its unique rumble feature and the internal speaker, but it has shitty Mono Sound, Broken Online system with Friend Codes plus No DLC, plus the guitar most likely won't work with Rockband Wii.

 

 


The Wii version has no sound issues (it currently has better overall sounds quality than PS3 or 360), it has online without friend codes, it may get DLC, and do any of the GH3 Guitars work with Rockand? I thought it was the GH2 360 guitar that worked with Rock Band? I've never heard the any of the PS3 or PS2 GH3 guitars work with Rock Band.


better overall sounds quality? the wii doesn't have any digital audio outputs... you have a source for this?

So Dolby Pro Logic II sounds better on the 360 and the PS3 than the Wii?  Sorry, I didn't realize.  Honestly, I've never seen a game set-up in person with better than stereo sounds quality.

I just meant that Wii offers Dolby Pro Logic II and wiimote feedback.  I doubt the vast majority of GH3 owners even use Dolby Pro Logic II so most owners get a better overal sound experince from the Wii.

You see this is why im NOT going to get The Force Unleashed if they dont improve on the PS2 engine to the Wii (better polygon count, lighting etc) and if it doesn't get good reviews. Also may i point out one important question.

Is it THAT hard to make a Wii game thats based on the Game Cube hardware (which was also made to be developer friendly when it was announced) What the hell were these developers doing for the last 5-6 years with the Cube, surely develoeping for the cube got easier too as with the PS2. Id rather have gamecube ports on the wii than the PS2 for crying out loud!!.

When there is a Wii game that looks as good ad God of War 2, call me.

As the PS2 gets older, developers learn better how to develop for it. If there was no Wii, the PS2 games would look a lot better. I am not saying the PS2 can make a better looking game then the Wii (although I do think the best looking game across both consoles in a PS2 game), but I am saying a PS2 only game would look better then a game that is multi-plat.

There are 117 million PS2 owners, and 23 Million Wii owners. If your going to drop development for one, it should be the Wii :p

There, now that I have balanced it, let's just let developers make games for both and be happy :)

Where were you a year and a half ago. There are better looking gamecube games if you look at it in a technical aspect. Twilight princess, Re4,MP3,SMG, etc all look imo, and are factual graphically superior to GoW2.


It’s a completely different art style, so it’s very subjective on what looks better.

Well, other then RE, and I think RE does not look as good as GoW2.


 I was talking about a technical point of view. GoW II imo is right after MP3 in looking good. I just loved the environments in both games.
