I don't want either. I want the third person shooter that DeadSpace was, because it looked like it would fit the Wii's controls really well. RE 4 was a great example, but that was a long time ago. We need new stuff. I love On Rail Shooters and I'm sure I'll enjoy this, but the Wii is piling up on Rail shooters. I just want more variety. It's not hard to see why some people would initially be disappointed, even if the game turns out better this way.

Well, this prequel was already launched in movie format. Is interesting and I liked it, but it is short. That's the reason for changing the game format from 3rd person to 1st and putting it in a wii.
IMO they should make a game just like the first and release in all plataforms. Releasing only on Wii is a disrespect with the HD fanbase and making a subpar game a disrespect with the Wii gamers, that should have it on the plataform already, since it was possible on the Xbox.

the reviews will be what they will, the game might even get an 9.0 average, but because it's on-rail it going to miss out on a lot of sales imo.

Not to mention that there's a high probability that if this game succeeds we will be flooded with on-rails from other companies.

I know what it will say "Its as good as HOTD OK, if not better"

Well unfortunetly we all took the statement, We have to take Wii seriously and the Wii will get a proper version of Dead Space, literally. This is as bad, if not worse considering the hype, as Castlevania Fighter blah blah

It's looking very good, but yeah the fact that it's a rail gun shooter is a dissapointment.

At first I thought. Oh great EA aren't lazy bastards and port the game to the Wii, instead they get a whole new game. Then I saw that it's going to be a rail gun shooter. I guess a port would have been better after all.

Rail shooter?

Lmfao, epic fail.

this is the same exact thing, as when people complained we were getting 3D platfomers instead of 2D ones. Personally, I've learned to just enjoy a game in all sorts of genres.

Honestly, whenever I get a chance to go to the arcade, I run straight to the on rail shooters cause they are awesome. At least I get to live some of that awesome arcade experience at home, since there are no more decent arcades in my home town (there are 2, but they are complete crap).

I want the 3rd person game. I am tired of companies only thinking these types of games can only be done on rails. It does look fun mind you, but it is by no means what I was hoping for.

Unfortunately for you Nordled, you're the minority in this case. Most of us really wanted a good tps game instead of another on-rail shooter.

oh fu%k not an on rails shooter!!
