Forums - Nintendo - Epic: Our games don't appeal to the Wii's crowd.

@Soriku

a reason why i never mentioned SSBB, SMG is because that is a game that looks like it could have never have been done with last gen hardware.
however those games didnt sell for having the best graphics on that system, but because they are proven franchises which have been popular on all ninty systems.

Don't be so harsh. He was just coming back from playing in the Mario Kart Wii league. He has a good reason to be a little grumpy.

Oh, alright.

But only because I sympathize with my fellow I Suck At Mario Kart-er...

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.

EPIC has made some of the best games ever made. If you want to argue that, your just ignorant. I can respect they're decision, since they make games for high end consoles. High end pertains to graphics and audio, so don't bitch at me about saying the Wii isn't good.

 



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

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.

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...

 

You can call it unsupported BS.  I can call it an opinion.  Maybe even stating the obvious.

@Rol:  Another Mario Kart League.  Another last place finish.  I get used to it after awhile.

This made me laugh.

So no name developers with limited talent can make decent games for the Wii, but a development giant like Epic can't?

I like the Wii as much as the next guy, but thats pretty hilarious.



As in go buy us some coffee.

i was thinking that to be honest.

 

but games they make sell on graphics more. to rely just on game-play is very strange and alien for them.

i mean come on who would play gears if it had ps2 like graphics. gams like that are all about high res high pixels, high end graphics, out of this world physics

Well, to hell with them. A lot of good games comin' to wii still. So, i'll buy other games, that probably r gonna be better

Why are you tempting me to break my promise to RolStoppable so quickly? I'll limit myself to this: we are all entitled to our own opinions, and I would never begrduge you yours. But none of us are entitled to our own facts, which is what you were trying to do with your statement.

ROFL. Show me a game on the PS2/GC/Xbox that looks better than SMG.

Also, the Wii is 4x (or more) powerful than the PS2...so you can't say every Wii game looks bad. Don't games like GoW impress you? What if you saw GoW visuals on the Wii...just 4 times (or more) better? Would you like a game THEN, or would you say it looks like crap anyway just because you're a fanboy?

 

once you have sat down and played games like MGS4 on a big hdtv. then you will se what i mean by it is very difficult to go back and play a Wii game. okus when did i say SMG could be done on the ps2

Seriously. mapping buttons is easy. Figuring out motion controls requires in depth thought and creativity. Coding for a PC with 5 GB of RAM is going to be easier than having to make everything run efficiently enough for a PC with only 1GB.

 



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