These third parties have sure grown arrogant in the last gen haven't they?
Yeah, pretty soon they'll understand that they should know their roles and shut their mouths.
What?! I don't think I've ever read a more ridiculous title.
The Air Plane. I'm addicted to that game. Makes me very excited about how they can approach star fox..or even Factor 5 can do a rogue squadron game.
I think maybe you need to stfu, and now. I don't know who you think you are typing too, but don't be a tough guy.
Pirate; I'm just makin an observation is all.
A game on Wii flops its because of the Wii. When a game on the other systems flop its because the game sucked..interesting.
Thanks for putting this in context Product.
Also, remember when it was announced that the game was a rail shooter and HD fans laughed, now they want the game ported to their system? How would that work? Look at how time crisis flopped on PS3, if EA is smart they should save their resources for a more fruitful endeavor.
Hell even the first dead space flopped.
You probably could have added even more reasons as to why this is so ridiculous, Patcher is such a tool.
Many folks didn't have a Gamecube apparently, and never saw Rogue Squadrons 2 or 3 running at 60fps? I'm with you, what Factor 5 illustrated is that any system twice as powerful as the Gamecube is capable of much more than that which has been shown thus far. Only Nintendo games have shown that the Wii is able to pump some very efficient tech. But that is changing, Monster Hu...
"Wii HD" (Patcher is in trouble) Is going to cost 499$ when its released than I say no thanks.
And the author is right; Not having HD hasn't hindered the Wii from whoopin both HD twins on the sales charts. Quality and all that is 100% subjective.
Nintendo didn't rely on the gimmick of eye candy..they relied on the 'gimmick' of innovation.
My question would be, where do Sony and M$ go from here? They already have HD..whats next? Super H...
I agree with everything you've said. Well written.
Edit: Also, he's so right about the story. I thnk many people just took what many of these crappy reviews said and just ran with it. "oh, oh generic, yeah that's what it is" "Weak story, yeah, the story is pretty weak" Listening to the radio and finding the hidden messages, its not as thin a story as everyone says..but who cares?! its a video game, since when did video games have oscar award winning screen ...
Whatever guy.
Bionic Commando belly flopped, I guess that means those type of games don't sell on HD systems? And since when was Conduit AAA? or Madworld or Overkill?
Bottomline is, if the big franchises were on Wii they'd sell, cheap cash in, low effort ports don't. Same could be said for the HD consoles, if its not a big budget title, it belly flops on the market. Same goes for Wii, PS2, SNES, flops on Wii don't matter anymore than flops on other systems..except companies that flop on Wii...
As Mikami isn't involved RE will continue is downward slide.
Lets not try to be too logical here, remember, this is N4G after all ;).
Also @oobob, great posts.
I wonder how much traffic would be here if this game "flopped"
Quoted for truth Scissor. I was going to largely ignore all the nonsense Rein has been spouting, mainly because I really have no interest in Epic games, but some of the posts here try to give this guy more validity than he is worth.
I also love how everyone is so quick to dismiss Nintendo First party success and try to flip it into a weakness. Its baffling, bogus, and ignorant. "Oh its Mario/Zelda its supposed to sell" Quality sells, Nintendo games are almost synonomo...
But also, lets not forget the two sure fire massive hits NSMB and WSR. People are all talking about MW2 and all, but those two games individually will probably outsell MW on the 2 platforms combined.
Doubt it.
Also, how is it making fun of Wii's supposed "ridiculous variety of Wii games"? G4 is a joke, and I also predict that shows like X-play and Attack of the show? Will go the way of the dodo. They are really just trash.
Baffled as to why people still use lame car analogies to describe what is going on in console gaming. It doesn't fit..at all.
You bought up Wave Race 64..that is perhaps my favorite sim racer of all time, seriously. Because of that game I actually got into jet skiing. Every time I go on vacation I have to rent a waverunner.
I'm telling you that flight game in Resort is just too awesome, very relaxing and addicting. Here's something cool; Fly as high as you can, until that warning comes on screen to turn back to the island, and then cut the engine, lol. You start free falling and if you time it right y...
