If it turns out to be good, I might buy it.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

RUMOR - First details on Call of Duty 5: CoD 4 engine running on Wii

This information is said to come from the latest issue of gamesTM magazine. If anyone out there is a subscriber, or has purchased the latest issue, please shoot me an email to confirm these details.

- enemies will be ’scarier’ and have new tactics

- co-op gameplay

- vehicles and squad-based multiplayer

- Wii version is being handled by Treyarch, but a separate team within Treyarch

- CoD 4 engine has been adapted to Wii

- Wii Zapper support

- Opening scene: Japanese commander stubbing a cigarette out in the eye of a prisoner before slitting his throat - the blood splatters and dribbles down the side of the tent you are being held in. He turns towards you to deal out the same treatment but help arrives just in time. Cue a daring level-long escape.

Well, obviously it's not going to look like CoD4 but if the CoD4 engine has been adapted to the Wii the Wii version should look better than most Wii games.


 Wii zapper support and online polay and co-op, sounds good as long as they get the controls good and the graphics arent crap. Will look forward to another game to use my Nyko PerfectShot with



i highly doubt the wii will get this game, even if it does. it will be nothing compared to the ps360 versions.

i also dont think it will sell very well, majority of wii owners wont buy into it.

but mabey could turn out to be a good game with changes.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Just when I was about to write it off for being set in WWII again...



I hope either the Wii or HD version sucks monkey balls. That way it will be easy to decide which version to buy.

At least Killzone 2 will be out before this; I refuse to buy another COD that takes place in WW2; its moronic when their best game "modern warfare" gets dumbed back down to WW2.



Is not a rumor... it's confirmed. This are some quotes:

“Man, we can definitely talk about the Wii Version, I mean, where do we start? Well, first and foremost, The Wii version is being developed here at Treyarch. It’s a separate team from the next-gen team but its on-site. If you’re going to compare the next-gen version and the wii version side-by-side then you’re going to find that it’s a much closer comparison than, I think, any other Wii game currently on the market.”

“Yeah, the challenge with this one was ‘how do we make a cutting edge next-gen game work on the wii’?’. The answer is a lot of frickin’ smart engineers who’ve shipped Wii titles in the past. Getting the call of duty 4 engine on Wii was our first challenge - which we’ve managed to do and it looks great - but there are also a content and design challenges to consider.”

“Beyond that, We’re reall accepting the fact that the person buying on the Wii is doing so for a different kind of experience. I mean, we’re going to be supporting the Zapper and, I don’t know how familiar you are with the Zapper personally, but you lose about five or six buttons on that controller, so it’s very challenging to make a call of duty game that functions well. We’ll be doing some unique stuff with co-op gameplay, too, but we’re not ready to talk on that yet. I honestly think you’ll see what we’re taking the Wii very seriously.”

 

So, Call of Duty 4 engine is running now on the Wii. Nice.

Well, it's Treyarch, so no one really cares about this version. Everyone I know is not buying CoD5. Treyarch = The suxxors.

Once Wii owners get an IW game, Wii owners will be very happy with their game, until then, don't get excited.



Well I'm hoping the Wii version turns out to be good with solid online multiplayer and controls on par with Prime 3 or Heroes 2, that way i can get the Wii verson ($10 cheaper too) while still bein able to enjoy COD4 on the 360. And if the Wii version does turn out to be good I predict strong sales and long legs based on COD4's sales history as well as other multiplat titles that have performed well on WIi... see Guitar Hero 3 and Lego Star Wars.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I don't care much for WWII but I gave MoH:H2 a try and if this controls well i'll give it a shot also.

@ssyn

There's no release date yet so it's possible that it'll come out after KZ2 (Feb 09) but unlikely. CoD2 was end of '05, CoD3 was end of '06, CoD4 was end of '07, if I had to bet on it i'm guessing Activision's gonna want to push out CoD5 by end of '08.
