lulz, Wii fanboys screaming bias. If it makes you feel better...

As much as I hate, it's true.  I'm in the media and we all know it.

I've had some very heated discussions with friends of mine in the media industry because they rate Wii games low simply because the game's target audience is lower aged or the genre doesn't appeal to them.   Some of them are told to do this by their EIC's.

 

I just talked with a publisher the other day about this and it pisses off their development teams because a lot of bonuses are paid based on Metacritic and GameRankings scores.

You have got to be kidding. Please tell me you are kidding.

Please?

Wish I were.   The point of that tactic is to gain a stronger following of their own target audience and appease publishers that pay premium ad space.

How come good scores didn't effect the ads that No More Heroes got?  I mean there was seriously nothing in the states...

I don't expect many Wii games to score in the 90s.

So far, there are only 3 games that are exclusive to the Wii that have scored 90 or more: Brawl, Galaxy, and MP3. Twlight was a GC port, Ocami and RE4 were PS2 ports (after RE4 was GC port but they also included added PS2 content), World of Goo is on PC, and Rock Band 2 is multiplat.

To me, that is stunning considering the Wii is nearly at 50% market share.

The PS2 has almost had as many exclusives over 90% in that time: GoW2 and Persona 4. Hell, FF12 came out a month before the Wii, so it's almost tied. Stunning.

 

It's Okami... and RE4 is a GC port with the PS2 content added since it doesn't have the dumbed down visuals of the PS2 version, which me and my friend was playing the Wii version and GC versions side by side, it was hard to tell at times but it looked like trees had more branches and such on the Wii version, though both versions stand the test of time visually so it doesn't matter much.

I know. I wouldn't have enjoyed my GTA games if they weren't rated so higly.



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

Regardless, the PS2 version was better before the Wii version came out.  Okami looks better on PS2, too.

I'm not trying to put down the Wii, I just find it rather shocking that there aren't more quality games out.   Like I say above, the PS2 almost has as many true exclusives as the Wii.  Now, if you only have 1 console there are plenty of games to play, and I realize many prefer the controls for Okami (despite reports of it being inconsistent) and RE4.  I'm just saying that it's been a strange platform so far.

 



Punch Out, and Madworld

 THIS.  <3



I predict that the Wii will never get another AAA game. Ever.

Just Kidding. I predict Madworld.
