ok, so i've had my ps3 for a little over 2 months now and i'm loving it. but i happen accross a guy who's trading his wii for a ps3 and i'm tempted as hell. but i remembered that sometime ago, i sold my psp to buy a ds and i regreted that decission. not that the ds is bad, its fun and all but just not my cup of tea. so i ended up selling it and buying another psp which i then traded for my curernt ps3.
though i'd prefer to have both consoles, i have to cut some corners due to the rising cost of living. so my questions are
1. i like my games pretty, so hows the visuals? i owned a ps2 and an xbox, is the graphic difference similar to these 2? if its like the difference between the ps2 and the xbox, then i can live with that.
The graphical difference is higher than that. For the beautiful Wii games like Galaxy and Brawl think about Xbox + graphics. Especially shading and lightning is much better than the Xbox, but polyon number and textures about the same.
2. do all the games require me to swing the wiimote around? i know its fun but for long gaming sessions, i'd rather be sitting down.
No, I played 50 hours of Fire Emblem with the classic controller. There are very few games that actually need to played standing. Zelda uses the wiimote, but can be played sitting, cause you use it for aiming and swinging.
3. hows the build? the ps3 looks really nice and elegant but is huge like a whale. is it like made of cheap plastic or is it sturdy?
It's by far the most gorgeous console ever build. It's very small and stylized.
4. how long does the wiimote battery last or how fast does it suck out the life out of a standard battery?
20 hours. Buy the Nyko charger station, it's great and you'll never be out of batteries.
5. if i let go of my ps3 i'll be giving up ac, uncharted, dmc4, gta4, mgs4, and future releases such as gt5 and ffxiii. what games and future games on the wii can compensate for these loses? by the way, no amout of games can compensate for ffxiii as i am a fucking fanboy but 4-5 aa rpgs can at least soften the pain.
RPG's: Arc Rise Fantasia, Fragile, Oboro Muramasa, Symphonia 2, Shiren 3, Final Fantasy: CC, Little King's Story and many more to come.
6. i heard wii has an online feature with downloadable games, but doesnt have a hdd...so where does those dl go? memcard or something? how fast does it fill up?
The Virtual Copnsole offers downloads from NES, SNES, Sega MegaDrive/Genesis and Master System, Turbografix, N64, NeoGeo. These games are usually rather small in size. They get stored on the flash memory or on an SD card. Once downloaded you can always re-download again.
It's an amazing library. WiiWare is great as well (Mega Man 9!)
7. whats with the crazy wheel addon? does it even work for you? i mean, a good racing wheel will do wonders for gt but a floating wheel? (ok, i'm just really curious about this..how does it pan out?)
Don't use it, it sucks
8. lastly, knowing that i prefered the psp over the ds, is the wii like the ds of game console while the ps3 is the psp of game console? coz that would be the deciding factor here..
It just depends on what you like. But I don't think that analogy works. Both PS3 and Wii already have a better library than the PSP. The DS outdoes the PSP by miles in this area, but still you prefer the PSP.
thanks
