@Kwaad - so you know, had a couple of complaints from people for you trolling this thread.


Well, I've gotten PMs from certin mods I will not list, about idiots saying I am trolling, when I post a 100% legit post, that wasnt in a single way trolling. I just have a fan club. And dont think I'm the lone ranger, there are posts in here, about people saying you stepped out of bounds as well. You wanna get in a pissing contest, I'll probibally win.

 Speaking of peeing, if you ever wanna take me up on that, I know of a nice creek with fish we could aim for! Since this is a... aquatic related thread.


Please take your soap box back to the Sony forums. No one likes a troll and a fan club certainly didn't save people like Blue3 or Gballsack so you can count yourself pretty much out of luck on that factor. Though unless ioi has given you a vote of confidence saying he'd rather keep you around to try and garner more Sony gamer support, which I wouldn't put past the poor fellow given his desperation, I'd be careful.

It's also not that much of a mystery who the mod(s) is.



One thing about the boat screenshots. This game evidently has a large game area (even the two titles suggest it), probably even larger than the GTA games. So of course some models would have to be reduced. RE4 isn't a fair comparison, due to its relatively small areas.



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

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

This does look very nice. I always knew the Wii was "capable" of producing good looking titles..... Wii Sports was just so appalling that I stopped even considering a Wii for awhile, but a few titles have got me turned around.

 

EDIT: Can't we all just get along. 



oh and @ the thread title, very clever, HAHA

great way to switch stupid arguments around on someone

humor is usually one of the best ways

I think Kwaad was provoked if anything. The game really does look worse than several Gamecube games I can think of (Smash Bros. and RE4 off the top of my head), particularly because it is a first party title (isn't it?). I agree that nobody would have complained if people would have dissected a PS3 or a 360 game. The 50% GC comment was a bit much, but it does look noticeably worse than the best GC graphics I have seen.

In any case, the game could be interesting as long as it doesn't get repetitive. I like games that are relaxing (I loved flOw to death). I don't think I would pay $50 for it though. $40 would be acceptable, $30 is a good number for what I have seen.

No.

It takes all of 10 seconds to determine that this game is developed by "Arika", which appears to be a smallish development house based from former capcom developers that have produced a horde of Street Fighter and Tetris clones.

The game is published by Nintendo, which I assume makes it second party? I never really got the distinction between first and second party. Anyway, for a small time developer they really made the game look good. Don't use the above sea sections to judge it's clear that the resources went into the under water bits as that's where the main part of the game is.

 


I still expect more out of this game because it is being published by Nintendo. 2nd party devs usually get much more attention than 3rd parties, so my argument still stands.

don't buy it then

easy solved. 

 



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

Stop the sarcasm here are the famitsu scores for Forever Blue / Endless Ocean, are you sitting, or just get close to something steady so you won't drop on the ground when I say it... here it goes....






8...8...9... and... 10!

A little more info about the Famitsu review.

Famitsu falls for Forever Blue     

Nintendo's scuba diving game for Wii impresses Japanese gaming mag, Famitsu.
   
July 25, 2007 - Forever Blue, one of Nintendo's upcoming under-the-radar Wii games, is set to make its splash in Japan next week, and respected gaming magazine, Famitsu, has published its review in its latest edition.

The four reviewers each rated the game 10/8/9/8, and according to translations, they explained that it's a clever production that totally sucks you in. They wrote that it feels a little like a simulation, allowing you to explore areas gradually, and they added that with just a change of the camera view, you can quite literally get lost at sea.

It sounds as though it's a quite open-ended experience, with Famitsu explaining that you can hunt down the aquatic life as much as you want, or opt to go looking for events. They continued, adding that there's lots to do, and that you're able to progress at your own pace.

Like ExciteTruck before it, you'll be able to play your own custom music tracks, but Famitsu wrote that the mysterious default music makes the game feel very real. They concluded that the production is great and that you feel the mystery and magnificence of the ocean.

The game's been dubbed Endless Ocean for the North American market, but considering we're usually given the European treatment Down Under, it'll still go by the Japanese name of Forever Blue in Oz.



You know actually I agree with Kwaad... I, too, would like to see a game that uses fully the Wii's power... Or even pushes it to the limit! I know that Mario Galaxy and SSBB look great but I would like to see what the Wii is really capable of. Many people say it's more powerful than the Xbox... Well I want to see that power!

Now back on topic... That game looks interesting... Not sure I would buy it (because I don't have too much money to spend) but I do get the relaxing point. In a certain way, it could do some good for some of us who seem to get a bit overreacting on some posts... ;)

 You'll have to wait. Even though it it based on the GC, it is still more powerful, and thus will need more time to full explore what it can do.
