Quickness can be pretty important considering how fast you can die in a game like World at War. Also accuracy I find most people have better aim on a joystick. But whatever... Wiimote is the better option.

 

 

The conduit will have a 180 degree spin button. This isn't a shovelware game they're making here... HVS is really trying to make a decent game for the wii. This game will be great, not Halo great, but great.

Another thing that goes in favor of the wii is that control with the wii mote for shooters is just more fun then pc+ mouse even though it's not as accurate. It's also more fun then dual analog imo. Games are about having fun right?

No, video games are serious business. I don't find the Wiimote fun... I find games fun. When I'm playing Halo 3 online the last thing on my mind is "I wish I could do gestures with my control that affects what's happening in the game."

 

 

It's not like the conduit is going to be a waggle game...

No waggle = FLOP!

Because they can play a game that looks great, with great customization, and with better controls :)

EDIT: Before I get called off, its opinion...

Well, giving quantifiable reasons to justify one getting excited is why this thread is here.

Now, as for looking great, don't you quantify that with: "For a Wii game"?  Not sure it holds up at all against Crysis, Gears 2 or Killzone 2.

 

The same thing could be said for PS360 games compared to PC games.

Well lets say a FPS game allowed for both 360 and Wii owners to play the same game online. Like some sort of online death match such as CoD World at War. Who do you think has the odds of performing better, people playing on a 360 control or people using a Wiimote?

 

Wii users would destroy 360 users, no contest.

Pointing devices always beat a gamepad.  We can move faster, we can aim better.

A mouse yeah... a Wiimote no.

Do I need to repost that picture of Bizzaro Superman?

 

 

Buah ha ha ha ha!  You are seriously delusional if you believe that.  You obviously don't really know what you're talking about, regardless of whether you really did own a Wii at some point. 

Dual analog = archaic in FPS.

Considering FPS games sell better on consoles with dual analog... I guess the masses have spoken.

I own PS360Wii yet I own ZERO FPS for them.
The conduit will be my first, Why? beacuse I like the controls.

Could care less for Graphics, hell bring back N64 graphics for all I care.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

More FPS have sold on HD consoles, therefore they have better control. That's not a wild logical leap.

Bowling and darts seems to be wildly popular on the Wii. I don't argue Wiimote is ideal for that.

Wow you really are stuck in la la land aren't you? The masses also love T-pain and Lil Wayne so I guess they are the pinnacle of musical excellence according to your goofy logic.

He knows he's wrong, he's just trolling for comments now.



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)
