The Wii is a great system... but like he said, it's not for the hardcore gamer. And if you really want to game ... forget the xbox 360 and ps3 ... there just toys, get a PC

 

[rigaudio]

Call it "Silent Hill: Mario Fit Racer Pals" and judiciously use that wobbling board thing Wii users love to stand on. Have mini-games between each level and display their brain age when you die.

Because apparently we love that shit.

Well said.

 

[metalfellow]

I wouldn't see why people would buy a console that is aimed at school age kids and soccer moms, then complain about a lack of hardcore games. This subject is becoming tiresome, the wii was never aimed at that market with a lower cost and limited hardware. I think the producers are smart to not invest in such projects on the wii.

That's a completely retarded statement. He should say it's difficult to make a successful mature game on the Wii.

dude, rts? hello? macros? That's way better on PC than on a console.

 

[Kraynor]

I'll never understand system-warriors (ie those that champion a single system, be it 360, ps3, PC, wii, etc., calling all other systems 'terrible'). Personally I own a pretty powerful PC, a 360, ps3, wii, psp, ds, because if a game comes out that's good, I want to be able to get my hands on it.

Sure, the Wii's got a rather bad noise ratio, but there are some very good games in there. Any FPS fans would appreciate Dead Space: Extraction, lightgun fans get House of the Dead, platform fans have Super Mario Galaxy, RPG fans have various Final Fantasy games, then there's other gems like Okami, Zack and Wiki, No More Heroes...

Anyway, my point is that the Wii isn't a terrible console, it has some great games just like every other system, but they're drowned out by the terrible shovelware. It takes a bit of digging but they can be found, and are worth it when they are.

He should say it's difficult to make a successful mature game on the Wii.[/citation]After reading the article, I believe that is actually exactly what he was saying. The original article was a little clearer, and it also contains this quote:

"We just don’t know if hardcore games can succeed on the Wii. I think it’s yet to be proven. I think a lot of people have bought Wii’s, but many aren’t buying software for it.

“With Silent Hill Shattered Memories, we’ve made a gamer’s game, and we’ve put a lot of passion into the game to get it right. But we’ve now got to wait and see how successful it’s really going to be commercially. That’s kind of out of our hands.”

I got mine using the service at www.amzpricesniper.com. It watched the Amazon inventory and the moment Amazon received fresh inventory at the regular retail price this obnoxious alarm went off.

[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]You're a dick, apart from the fact that I can build a PC from scratch that pumps out higher res and FPS than a PS3 for less money[/citation]

I assume you speak of an AMD build by the looks of it. You can't get a decent intel build that cheap unless something made them heavily drop their prices (that I highly doubt)

why does the manufacturer of the CPU make a difference?
if the end result is better graphics for the same price...

I am an OG gammer from the early 80's with the likes of Nintendo and Sega Master System and to some Atari 2600. Consoles are pointless for FPS and MMO's...or the like. A keyboard + mouse will run circles around anyone using a controller to play any such FPS or MMO games. Side Scrolling, Street Fighter II, Final Fantasy, and Mario type games are meant for Consoles. PC+XBox360 Controller = fail unless you are playing Street Fighter IV.

I just don't get people who play FPS's like COD: MW2 on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Consoles have its advantages and so does PC for certain game types.

 

[r3t4rd]

And yes, I have played through all the PC games from Doom to hal-life to StarCraft, to UT, to WarCraft II, to L4D2. Not to mention I have all the consoles except for Xbox, Xbox360, and PS3. PC gaming is just more enjoyable then Consoles except retro games (my Opinion). But again, there are certain console games that are worth it.

 

[anamaniac]

Oh, I love console gaming. N64 emulator to play Conkers Bad Fur day, PCSX2 to play anything else. =D
$60 Pentium Dual Core (2.5GHz dual core, but only 2MB cache, deal with it) + $30 MOBO + old case laying around + $30 PSU + $20 2GB RAM + old 80GB HDD laying around + $60 ATI 4670 = $200 gaming rig. =D

I want a Wii for FPS games myself (though I can only imagine rail shooters would work well) and hack'n'slash games.
The Wii just isn't serious, sorry. It's the same for the NDS. The Sony PSP does have a nice feeling of badass to it though (plus games like GoW, Daxter, R&C etc.).

Why so serious?
I have a 360, PSP and a PC. >=)

 

[chriscornell]

PC + DVI->HDMI cable to LCD + 2x X-box360 controllers = X-box with 10 times the computing capacity. Consoles are, and will always be teh sux!
There is nothing you can do on any console, that a PC won't do - better!

Apparently.

Respect goes out to you, sir!

EEEERRRNN wrong answer douchbag !

game genre's that are better on pc

1. FPSer (obviously)
2. RTS (definitely)
3. RPG's (when designed for pc such as dragon age : origins)
4 Simulators (air combat tank ect. ect.)

game genre's that are not at their best on pc but are fairly nice when done right

1. Racing games get a wheel or a game pad and racers are awsome on pc

2. 3rd person action and adventure if you like lara croft reember she was on pc first for areason .. and every TR game has been done on pc the best beign teh last three games in the series totatlly playable on mouse and keyboard
