Glacier2 is an arcade combat racing game. Make sure you are faster then your opponents or you can blow them to bits with an arsenal of weaponry. Make your way across the ice, survive incredible jumps, and eliminate your opponents.
Glacier2 offers an advanced effectsystem specially designed for Nintendo Wii to bring the arcade-action really alive! Various insane vehicles are yours to choose from, all with their own characteristics and weapons. Snipers, shotguns, machineguns, chainguns, everything is possible as long as it does heavy damage.
Five new titles heading for Wii is reason enough for a little attention, even though it's pretty sure the Wii versions of these five new titles from Team6 Game Studios won't look as pretty as these PC renders do.
Wow pretty cool, 5 hardcore Wii games. The screenshots dont' look too shabby either.
Look pretty nice indeed, however the screenshots are most likely from the PC versions or renders from a development engine.
Yer it says that in the article but they still look like decent games.
This is shows a good side to the Wii though as this is yet another smaller developer being able to get a whole bunch of games and attention out there.
Team6 isn't really known for fantastic hardcore games, you know. And these aren't games that Wii owners will really be screaming to get. Looks like just more games that'll end up in the $19.83 bin at Wal-Mart.
Yes, but it's better than nothing and it's most certainly better than a lot of the crap there. I'd rather have bad hardcore games than terrible casual games(although there IS a lot of good casual games)... you know?
Again, though, Spoons what if these emerge as, say one full release which they throw loads into, a couple of Wiiware titles and the rest shipped in similar style but at a later date? Wouldn't that be a pretty decent model for a smaller studio to get their profile raised without neccessarily giving us crap or cornering themselves.
HVS had a pair of Wiiware games pre Conduit didn't they as the first non license stuff they did? The Wiiware games/budget games being smaller are quickler to release, cheaper to make and aren't expected to be of SMG quality plus they could provide cashflow for the one main title also in development. they also give experience to the dev and staff on the hardware.
TBH, I'd have more hope for more of these(and this sort of dev) if I knew they were building sensibly and not just throwing out ideas and games scttershot in the hope something arrives playable. Y'know five good full length and full retail release games is a LOT even for a huge company(if they aren't going to take twelve years anyway!)but if we knew more of what their aims were for each game and their studio we might see more hope here.
As has been said some f this does look great but as renders what does it really mean-we just need more info on their plans, imo. Hope they do well and build with sense as well as passion though.
Looks pretty good. I'm glad that at least someone knows what they are doing.
Much better than all that crap Disney spews out on a weekly basis.
I found that weird. I hope their tech is used for a FPS game or something like that.
Man.. that's alot of okay looking racing titles. Really? Noone thinks those graphics can be done on wii? their not all that impressive in my opinion. Whatever that helicopter game sounds alright and I guess glacier 2 sound not too shabby either. Does anyone know if these are retail titles or wiiware? I can't imagine one stuio pumping out this many racing/vehicle titles at the same time unless they are wiiware titles.

Dutch company Team6 released a batch of artwork from Glacier6. Check them out.

Team6 Game Studios proudly presents one of their first Nintendo Wii titles: Glacier2!
Mr developer Gimme online co-op and death matches and ill buy two copies!! The Wii needs a decent online arcade romp. Im thinking Twisted metal crossed with Motorstorm here.
Perhaps abilty to tweak vehicles and weapons, and a destruction mode ala destruction derby (bowl).
Sod real physics give us insane arcade like Sega's Dirt Dash and serious firepower!!!! and please leave the waggle alone.
The Wii is fianlly being recognised as the No.1 console. Nintendo have amassed the casuals, gained thier new market and is now focusing on us the Hardcore gamers. Very clever people it must be said. Watch the turnaround now as we see mature titles pour onto the Wii.
