someone posted an interview that was on IGN. however, EA seems to be saying they will do something unique with it, so I'm waiting for real footage of the game.

I would say that EA is, right now, being managed better than I can think of. it is going to give the Wii the "hardcore" games that they always wanted. EA doesn't have to compete with Nintendo to be successful on the Wii

oh haha the next WII dead space game, I thought you meant the real dead space 2 that's coming out for HD consoles and PC was going to be some on rail thing. Of course the Wii version is going to be a reduced functionality port. I mean look what being more ambitious with Wii games gets you, seen screen shots for Dead Rising Chop till you Drop lately?

Someone please correct me if I am wrong as I have heard this somewhere on this site and I could be waaaayyyyy off.

Sin and Punishment was an on-rails shooter correct? If so, will Sin and Punishment 2 be the same thing?

Now if both are true, why would be people be looking forward to that and then push another "on-rails" (or so they say) shooter to the curb?

There's a write up and interview on IGN with video footage. It's definately an onrails shooter. No mention of '1 hour' though, I think that's just the OP being grumpy.

I'm with stof. While I was shocked/disappointed at first it wasn't a 3rd person shooter like the 360 version, I quickly remembered that I also enjoy onrail shooters and this is looking like a damn good one.

As for is EA relavent? Come on... EA is making some of the best Wii stuff out there. Even their crappy party games score higher than the average.

But it's clear. The industry are focusing on FUN games for Wii and DEEP games for HD systems. Why does this surprise and upset people? It's not like Nintendo makes a lot of 'deep' games. 90% of their stuff is focused on fun factor and the 3rd parties are taking their cues from them.

gotcha. saw it after the fact. seems like they're trying to evolve on-rails into something else, maybe a hybrid of on-rails and fps?

They wouldn't be very relevant if it wasn't for EA sports. Let's see how they do with their wii tennis and wii fit clones.

I was thinking the same thing. Now, I understand some people's argument that they were expecting a TPS (Some were even expecting a port which was wrong of them, since EA never said they were porting Dead Space).

However, the thing I don't understand is the large amount of "on rails suckzors!!1122!@11one1!"

yes you are correct and I agree with you

also I must add that  sin and punishment=best rails shooter ever imo

   It makes sense too, I mean someone who wants a deep cinematic extravaganza can shell out a few hundred bucks for a HD console or boot up their computer, its not like the Wii is suffering for a lack of those games with their core demographics which seem to be shaping up as the very young, the very old and women.  I guarantee you none of those 3 groups cares at all about a port of GTA, Dead Space or the rest of it (and it shows in the way those kinds of games never sell on the Wii, Manhunt 2 on the 360/PS3 would have been a multi million seller easy just like the original if it was for HD consoles instead of the Wii. 

   Maybe they can get a few hundered k in sales out of a rails version of Dead Space, I really doubt they're expecting much more from the Wii market.  Their Wii hopes are probably in that Wii Fit replacement they're making that appeals to two out of three of those core demographics.
