Forums - Nintendo - Fallout 3 dev says Wii is a toy (but Bethesda making medieval Wii games?)

Mr Khan on 07 February 2009

Bethesda is in that league of PC-centric developers that only develop for the higher-end consoles because it is convinient for them to port. Epic, Bethesda, iD, Valve. They can't be blamed for their attitudes, because them developing for the other consoles is merely a matter of financial convinience, their market is on the PCs

 

Of course, while Valve is rather polite about the Wii, this guy and the right honorable Mark Rein go out of their way to insult the Wii, to brush it off.


Certainly Wii doesn't threaten their market, but he shows his level of maturity by relating to it thus

A soccer mom or 60 year old wont look at fallout 3 or oblivion and go O THIS LOOKS FUN

HD consoles aren't toys. they are entertainment systems. Let's leave them with a little dignity.

An entertainment system where you sit around twiddling your thumbs on a big plastic controllers with colorful buttons to make things on a TV move.

Not surprising about these comments from Bethesda, they're another developer who probably think they're predictable tired writing is some gift to humanity. =P

 

Fallout 3 > Every 3rd party exclusive for the Wii and many of its 1st party games. So shove it

ohh this again... of course the wii is a toy, EVERY console is a toy... entertainment system? lol its the same freaking thing, you "play" with it, so its a damn toy

EDIT: fallout 3 over wii's first party titles? no way (for me at least)



Nintendo is a constant in life. Nintendo is the place where you can always go to have a great time, whether that is alone or together with friends. Nintendo made dozens of all time classics which are more than just amazing games. Nintendo is a gaming company. Nintendo raised our sorry asses better than a parent ever could. Nintendo is a religion. Nintendo is what drove gaming forward and what continues to drive gaming forward. Nintendo saved gaming in the '80s. Nintendo is saving gaming again right now.

Wii is like 3x as poweful as the XBox. It could do Oblivion and Fallout 3 easy. It has DVD and everything needed. Bethesda could have saved lots of art money by making those game for the Wii.

1st bold: Nope...it actually has almost the exact same amount of computing power as the orginal Xbox

2nd bold: No.....a Nintendo console STILL doesn't have DVD

Uhm..yes it does:

"For the Wii, Nintendo extended the technology to use a full size 12-cm, 4.7/8.54 GB DVD-based disc (RVL-006), enabling it to have the benefits of the Nintendo GameCube Game Disc, while having the standard capacity of a double-layer DVD-ROM."

Next time investigate before spilling lies.

Of course the Wii is a toy. All consoles are toys. But his invalid assertion that the Wii is incapable (or even "less capable") of doing story-based games only shows his bias; this should be taken as nothing more than the ZOMGKIDDY troll that it obviously is.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

 And how many Wii games have you played exactly?

I'm certainly glad you enjoy Fallout 3 enough to insult me over it, but for me it's just another bland RPG where you're the world's errand boy for a bunch of typical trite quests and a storyline of saving a world full of stock characters and monsters.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

This seems rather hypocritical. You barrate him for making assumptions about games he hasn't played, and then talk about the supposed issues of Fallout 3 (and your story description is amazingly wrong) without anything leading me to believe you've played it yourself.

 You're free to check my Gamertag (BrainBoxLtd) and see how much I've played the game. I know you're actually finding your dad and then purfying the water that's been poisioned by the war while the enclave are after you, but for me it's still just a form of saving the world.
