I guess the good thing about Dead Space Wii is that the shit has finally hit the fan with the Wii audience; people are pissed and getting sick of this shit and from all the comments all over the internet I don't see how companies can continue to NOT get that through their thick heads.

Yes, its true, the Nintendo audience would like more Zelda, Metroid, Resident Evil style ADVENTURE games, just like they always have, and they don't want every game to be a mini-game or a hold- my- hand light gun game.

Man, I truly fucking hope Retro Studios have something coming this year.

It would be nice if the industry saw this reaction as an eye-opener, but being realistic about it, I think things are going to continue just as they have been, just with more quality games coming out for the Wii--and I'm really hoping that this spring is only the beginning for them, too.

Sadly, I think Beaver is right. I think devs will always take shortcuts for the wii unless something monumental changes in the software sales numbers. But thats the catch 22, will the numbers change if the shortcuts dont, probably not.

 So Madworld needs to sell 10 million, Little King Story 12 million and Conduit 15 million. That should do the trick!

 Sadly, out of those three third-party titles, the only one that interests me is The Conduit; and I'm not entirely sure I'm going to buy it either.

Nintendo published games, FTW!

The reason why publishers still refuse to invest in true AAA productions on the Wii is because it is very likely that the next wave of consoles will hit in 2 to 3 years. They'd rather milk the Wii out and ramp up for it's successor then ramp up for the Wii to release 1 or 2 at most big games toward the end of its lifespan and revamp immediately short after.

Resident Evil 5...when you have one of the biggest games on the generation that even not all of the "big" reviewers giving game perfect/near perfect scores when they suck the cock of hype as well as complain of the game being too actiony...this is when you know you are in for a disappointment seriously.

I have said it before. The game is going to be brought down in both critics and general public perception because of the questionable game design choices made by the developer team.

When it comes to the wii and what not's graphics I've got to say that there's only two games that I've played that utilises current-gen technology to the point of it acutally being necessary. Crysis and MGS4. Crysis obviously doens't need any explanation, but onen of the most important parts of MGS4 was the animation. I know it might be a bit sticky to bring it up as it didn't really have any affect on the gameplay, but fucking hell the game would have been nowhere near as good if every of Snake's movements didn't feel so laboured and old.
Pretty much everything else, tohugh doesn't really take advantage of it. IMO the biggest graphical improvements this gen have been depth of field, weight, and the three dimensionalness of objects (nice technical term for you there), and it is nice to have them in games, but at the end of the day, it doesn't really affect my experience of them much, unless they're actually taken advantage of in direct relation to what the gameis trying to achieve.
The same could be said about the wii-remote, of course, but just like the bells and whistles of technically better graphics that isn't really used to serve a purpose, waggle can be fun. I know I enjoyed TP more on wii than I would have on GC, so I can see where you graphics whores are coming from.

I haven't played MGS, but doesn't mo-cap take care of those problems? For instance the mo-cap in COD WOW on Wii was the same across all the versions and looked pretty neat most of the time. Depth of field was done in Starfox Adventures as was heat distortion and even games like the Conduit are using it on Wii today.

.

Not entirely, no---not that I've played WaW of course!---you need the weight of Snake's body for you to feel his effort, otherwise it's just something that weighs nothing doing it, and it doens't really give you the same feelikng at all.

If the 360 repeated the Xbox life-cycle, we'd see a new Xbox this fall.

 Hmm, maybe Microsoft will announce it at this year's E3, and then launch in November?

 I called your opinions wrong before, but damn you are taking it to a whole new level!

True, but ain't goin' happen.

I think all the manufacturers will hold out as long as possible due to the GFC (as our dear leader calls the Global Financial Crisis).

Sony has the only incentive for a fast PS3.5 release. Same system, less features, lower price (and a wii-mote).

I am bored

So time for updates
