Epic ARE assholes.

Luckily I don't care for whatever they make so I wouldn't buy it anyway.

 

I just found this funny cuz this is the exact reason mentioned in the article as to why the game won't be on wii.

 


Except...I'm just one person. I wouldn't care for their games, but who said others won't?

 

epic create realistic looking violent games. if someone really wanted these kind of games then they would have brought a ps3 or a 360, not the Wii. thats like going to a high end designer shop to buy really cheap puma trainers.

 

Uh...why can't they make a really good looking (or the best looking) game on the Wii with good/great gameplay and actually advertise it to sell well? Would that be too hard? They're doing that on the HD consoles...why can'tthey do that on the Wii?

the way epic sees it. if people wanted really good graphics with the games then they would buy a high end pc, ps3 or 360, hence why games with really good graphics on those platforms sell well. so far on the Wii the games that have sold well have been like ps2 graphics.

this means that Wii owners could not give a toss about graphics. they just want to buy games like wii play which so happens to be one of the games with the worst graphics so far this gen, or even last gen for that matter.

so why would epic want to release a game on the Wii when they dont buy the kind of games they make.

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.

Fullfilled Prophecies

The Wii is the victim of a lot of high class problems, like the fact that one developer won't make games for it because they think they won't sell. (which really isn't a big deal at all)

The other consoles have way more problems, you guys should be happy this is all you have to deal with, instead of flipping out.

And its true, their games wouldn't sell well on the Wii, not that it matters.



As in go buy us some coffee.

sigh... Why do people say these kind of games won't sell on Wii, how can you prove that? STOP TALKING CRAP

But seriously, Epic doesn't need their games on the Wii to make money. They make money every time the Unreal Engine is licensed, and that's in too many games to count.

They do like money, they have plenty of it. Aside from Unreal engine, they have Gears, Unreal tournament, etc, and seem to be doing just fine, sans Wii.

Just in case people didn't know that epic is in great financial shape, and don't need the supposed money they'd make developing on the Wii.

Listen to the man: he's right. In fact, Epic would lose massive amounts of cash if Wii development really took off, since they're making their killing off the middleware that HD costs require (even that bastion of engine development, Square-Enix, has fallen to the surging HD dev costs). The more games that are made for the 360 and PS3, the more likely Epic is to profit.

Most Wii owners that are serious gamers own a PS3 or 360 so there's no harm in the way they dismiss the Wii.

Oh please tell me, Mister Mighty Tayne sir, how might I become a snobcore Serious Gamer and be just like you?

Well, you can start off by investing in a 360/PS3 or both to go along with your Wii.  That'll pretty much do it.  It'll cease the need to comment in threads like this about Company X doesn't want to develop for Console X.  Because, "Hey I have the best of both worlds so why should I care?"  And there you have it.

People are entitled to their opinions, but claiming facts is another thing. If they just don't want to work on the Wii, they should just admit it. Sacaguchi doesn't want to work on the Playstation systems, but he admits he just doesn't want to. If he claimed he thinks his games won't sell, I would call that bullshit just as much.



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

But will it stop the apparent need to come into such threads and spout unsupported BS about a subject which I claim to no longer care about? I mean, I'm grateful that you've revealed your secrets to me, but like watching the Sci-Fi Network to combat boredom, sometimes the cure seems worse than the disease...

 



For the people saying why do the people at Epic keep talking about the Wii since they obviously don't like it, the idiots in the media probably keep asking them about and they feel the need to keep answering instead of saying something along the lines of, "No comment."



Ya know? he's actually right.

Games like Gears of wars or Unreal Tournament appeal more to Microsoft and Sony core users because they are more concerned about High definitions, realism and hard drives while Nintendo core users tend to be more strict with the quality and the substance from Nintendo games. The MS/PS core userbase is much younger and sensitive while the Nintendo one is more mature and sensible.

Is very understandable.



Come on folks, lets pay attention to what's really being said here, not just what people are saying. I'll translate:

"We suck at developing for a system that doesn't take up the slack for our poor coding, and we suck even worse and implementing motion controls, so anything we make for the Wii is going to end up sucking, so we aren't even going to bother trying."

I mean, seriously, this is what it came out as I read the quote. They're just not capable of doing the job, so they aren't going to bother.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!
