I'm with Words of wisdom on this one; he is merely expressing his own opinion.

He's expressing his opinion repeatedly in every topic that has anything to do with 3rd parties on Wii. This would be the same as you going to every topic in the Sony forum and saying "I hate the PSP and PS3 because they have no games I like." This is a valid opinion, but even if you defended this opinion by saying they don't have games in the genres you like, and giving examples, repeating it everytime you can is no different than trolling.


And I just realized an opinion of this game isn't really the point. The point is that THQ is making an effort to push the Wii (even if not on the level of High Voltage). If this even half succeeds, it will set an example for third parties.


True. My point was that I'd prefer another 3rd party to THQ. Take what we can get I suppose. At best, it'll be an example to others. At worst, at least it's still more support.


Well what if another party follows their example? It has to start somewhere. 



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

I doubt that any 3rd party would follow THQ's lead... but you never know.  Stranger things have happened.

Not THQ entire. I meant the example of that game.

I agree with Lord on this one. Every time there is something positive for third party, I see WoW coming in to somehow turn the situation on its head. The quote alone makes it certain that there was at least "some" trolling in there. How can it be deined?

On topic, this is THQ which means they will continue to do what makes them bucketloads of money. If they give me some serious effort with the next wrestling game, I might walk back towards their side. As it stands, I am looking at Deadly Creatures as an I.P. that Wii needs, but I still need some more information on the game play before I go deciding to make a fifty dollar purchase.

Their approach towards Wii is excellent. They market their games extremely well and see ends to justify those means for the most part. Even if you do not want to admit it, they give out tons of "core" and "casual" games for all to enjoy. The biggest difference between them and other, less successful, companies, is the fact that they know how to promote their Wii products. They have my respect for that, at the very least.

I got my hopes up... and then had them dashed the moment I saw it was THQ.

Ring me when a developer that doesn't suck takes interest in the Wii.


i felt the same way when i clicked on this thread.... THQ aren't that good... drawn to life is their only decent title in years... and i don't get the trolling... you're just saying THQ sucks which is true.

I still want to know what shovel ware is =(.

Opinion is one thing, but to play them off as facts is painful, oh and another thing.

To see a post about THQ and their promise for the Wii then post - well this doesn't mean much THQ sucks is basically trolling.

Their's no explanation just THQ sucks, this incited questions as per no details being given as to how the threads context lost it's credability.

Nuff said?

You're assuming that the shovelware teams will be doing this. There are some quality teams at THQ. They may not be up to par with the quality teams of other developers, but the fact is that they are making an effort with the Wii, which is more than a lot of developers can say.


Like what? Their biggest title (that I've played) was Titan's Quest and that game was craptacular. It was a clone of D2 that failed to do anything other than be stunningly mediocre.


 I know this was a ways back there but I had to bring it back.  THQ didn't make Titan's Quest, Iron Lore did.  THQ just published it.  And Titan's Quest is considered to be the best Diablo clone since D2 came out.

Other than that, yes THQ is pretty mediocre.  Looking at their games list on their website I see a bunch of mediocre games and a bunch of liscened games, and we all know how liscened games turn out.

Company of Heroes. One of the best games in the last few years, imo. Supreme Commander was also quite good.

But those are PC games right? Anyway, on topic, I LOLed and disappointed when I read all of this interview. Theres a part  about the Wii and yet the only IPs they said was De Blob and Deadly creatures, and HD consoles have WHAT?

For me, its OK on what support THQ do to the Wii right now, after all, the only THQ do since the Playstation era was milking licensed games such as spongebob and nickelodeon games and WWE games. But after I read this interview its  like a slap on the face for us core gamers that buy the Wii because we know theres a potential for core gaming on this console and we're not fall for the casual crap. So THQ means that they need to support the casual crowd to enjoy gaming? Thats why they created De Blob and Battle of the Bands?

Didnt THQ know that 4 million people already buy Legend of Zelda and Super Smash Bros. Brawl and over a million on Metroid Prime 3? One of the most core games Nintendo ever made? If THQ wants to develop a game for the Wii, why not make a decent FPS or a mature game like what they did on HD consoles, like Saint's Row and Frontlines?

But THQ never want to do that because theyre too afraid that mature games didnt sell on the Wii. O RLY? Whats Red Steel then? Even theres a problem with the game people buy that game because thats what people wants. OK end of rant :P



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

Lolerific, even Nintendo is commited to believing that their avid gamer group is but a small % of their userbase.

I'd like to yell a million times louder to get them to get it in gear, but seems I didn't have to... their moving slowly but their getting there.

As for THQ I'd rent Deadly Creatures first, De Blob looks cool though.
