Also, to answer this question: Nintendo is the only developer talented enough to make games worth buying for the system.  Let's face it--Nintendo, Valve, and Blizzard are the best developers in the world, and after those 3 there's a HUUUUUUUUUGE dropoff. 

I'm talking

Socrates - Nintendo

Plato - Blizzard

Aristotle - Valve

(God - Carmack)

Crazy Louis who shits his pants and sings "I'm a little teapot" in the 7-11 parking lot - Everyone else

 

So think about it: there you are, pants shitting crazy, singing your head off. Do you try for a new song, or do you keep singing "I'm a little teapot" only this time in HI DEF sound? Well if you're an untalented piece of shit you keep showing em that handle and spout.

Hilarious.

I also (somewhat) agree.  The vast majority of developers can do nothing but copy the latest trends.

Oh yea here you go, Wii from a technical standpoint is inferior to the original Xbox
http://wii.ign.com/articles/699/699118p1.html. Ati Hollywood custom video card is roughly equivalent to an Ati R600 and just like it, it is capable of HDR+AA http://www.gpgpu.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=22227, whereas the 360 card is closer to a x1900xt while the PS3's card is a beefed up 7800gtx that can perform closer to an 8800 but not quite.



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.

Oh man. Thanks for sharing your personal opinion about this!

Yeah man it's not like I can't back it up sales figures because all of those totally awesome PS360 games have sold 20 million + OH WAIT

I see. I figured you were nothing but a fanboy but thanks for proving it to me. I see the light now. Only the games which sell 20 million or more are good games. You propably think that  Mcfeast is the best meal in the world, too.

"Uhhh it's very simple, Wii's graphics card is inferior to the HD twins in every way, the CPU is lower and it has less memory, so what is hard to understand about that?"

Capcom said the game was possible. That user twisted their words to deny it. How do the specs come into this, unless you are doubting the developer's word as well?

You are totally clueless aren't you? Processing power, graphics card, etc ALL inferior. Again, that doesn't take away from the quality of games the Wii has. As for your previous comment all the games I listed are mostly pure gameplay, unless you are thinking about MGS4 which is heavy on the story. Gears of War redefined the TPS genre and refined the cover system. The co-op is absolutely fun and easy to get into, and the online sucks you in. Again RE5 would have to be made from the ground up. You know what, do your research on the Wii's specs and on the other systems' specs as well. One thing is making a game for the Wii and another is porting it. Sure you can make RE5....with the RE4 engine. Less polygons....you know what, just check the links I left you before, or wait for Nordlead to join the thread, even as a Wii fan, he'll still also back me up.

Heh you'll probably get banned again but I give you props for saying what's on our minds. Some people are just blinded by the truth. See I don't mind the average Wii fans/supporters like Nordlead and a few others that know what they are talking about, recognize each system's strengths and know a great game when they see it. But some of these people are more blind than those of us who claimed that KZ1 on the PS2 was THE Halo killer rofl.

So did I but people still show to be clueless as far as the Ati Hollywood vs the PS3 and 360's cards along with the CPU comparison. Loving the brand is one thing but .....nah, I can't say it, I'll get banned again rofl.

Obviously a $1 cheeseburger is the exact same thing as a $50 game, not to mention I eat 3 games a day.  A $50 game is a commitment not only of money, but also time. It's saying "yes I'm willing to spendnot only $50 but also X hours playing this"

It's not even close to the same level and therefore it's a shitty, horrible analogy.

Do your own research. I've stated before RE5 would have to be buit from the ground up. It's the claim that it's not possible (which is not the same as hard to do) that I'm addressing. Will you pleast stop looking at my comments out of context.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

The answer is simple: 4 years ago someone ****ed up their market research and all the big game engines were developed for other consoles.
