yes because ghostbuster is a VERY MATURE GAME on ANY of the consoles lol. Just because it has more relistic gfx doesn't make it any more mature. It is the game play that will determine the rating.

 

Obviously they gave the Wii version a cartoonish look so it would appeal to kids. While the HD versions will appeal to a more mature audience. End of discussion.

And now we're going to bash Wii designs, great. I don't have complains about this, and I don't see how this'll affect the game, oh yes I fell less mature playing with cartoony designs Booh. Booh.

Do you really think this is about this one game? This is so much bigger than that. This is about the developers respecting the wii instead of putting their C team on Wii projects.

Yeah, I read the whole thread. I do that.

I just wanted to sum things up.

 

I'm mad that devs are making this game look different than the other versions. It makes me think that they have the mentality that only "kiddy looking" games sell on the wii.

Perhaps you are looking at the situation backwards.  The Wii iteration is most fitting for the content and demographic.  It could therefore be concluded that the PS3/X360 versions had to be changed because the family friendly art style would not sell well on those consoles.

Note the rating difference.  Why is the PS3/X360 version rated T?  It's based on a PG movie series.  It seems more like the PS3/X360 version is the one alterd to fit a fanbase not totally fitting the movies demographic.

Red Fly is not a C team, they're quite good at their job.

AH, not THAT's a different story and one I can fully support you on.

But the art style differnce in this game is not based on the development team being A, B or C.

Most GB fans are older than me (21). This franchise is aimed at 30 somethings, not 10 year olds.

Define more mature. Cause a T rating for HD isn't exactly that much more older then a 10-12 year old lol.

The simplest answer is, tt is like that because it is better for the Wii graphically. Sure they could of gone the same path, but it would of envolved too much screwing around trying to make it look good, and people would always judge it against the HD consoles. By having a different art style it makes it different from the rest, meaning less likely to be compared to HD consoles as it will be a different game in a sense.

Just because it looks more cartoonish doesn't mean an adlt can't enjoy it. Just look at Wind Waker, people bitched about it but after they accepted it because guess what IT ACTUALLY WORKED WELL cell shaded.
