Forums - Nintendo - And Bethesda's big, mature Wii game is...

Remember when, back in May, Bethesda Europe managing director Sean Brennan lamented about the Wii’s dry-as-a-desert pool of “mature” games? Well, for those who don’t, he also teased the “really big” announcement of a mature Wii game from Bethesda.

VG247 asked Bethesda VP Pete Hines for clarification concerning that title, and here’s what he told us:

“[Sean] was referring to the Wheelspin Wii game Bethesda is publishing in Europe (only) and that is being shown in our booth at GamesCom this week.”

Wheelspin is — if the title didn’t give it away — a racing game. Its goal, in addition to going really, really fast, is to “push the hardware further than any other Wii racing game to date.”

It’s out this autumn, if you’re interested.

 

 

But see:

Bethesda is only publishing this game. This isn't the game they are developing.

Not sure why Hines is claiming this is the game when it's already known that it isn't.

The Bethesda game will be made by Bethesda, not Awesome Play Games and published by Detn8 in the US.  The Bethesda game comes out late next year, not 2 days ago in the US and a few weeks from now in Europe. The Bethesda game will be rated M, not rated E.

Please tell me you are joking.



                            

lol?



...what?

How can that possibly be described as "really big" or "mature"?



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Well I knew that it's going to be a racing game, but I wasn't expecting THIS xD

One gets the impression that a lot of big executives at these publishers don't actually understand what they're selling.
