Re: The Wii is Here.

I heard that Fatal Frame 4 was being canceled on the Wii (in NA). Its pretty depressing. I was hoping for a challenge, but now nintendo just screw it up. The Fatal Frame series was like one of the best horror games I ever played.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Uhhh... you're probably thinking of the developer, not the publisher. Treyarch blows, and they're behind the worst of the Call of Duty games. Infinity Ward is the superior developer. Activision is just the distribution arm.

I don't know enough about EA to comment on them, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a similar situation.

It's pretty much a combination of both. Back in the 90's a great game released was Half-Life. The publisher was Sierra something one or another because no big companies wanted to release it under their name. Turned out to be a great hit because Sierra didn't do anything to change the game around. They just stuck their name on it and clamed it like all publishers should.

What EA and Activision do is they make the games more kid friendly. They take out blood, profanity, and anything else to make it have a lower ESRB rating. The reason? To make it avaliable to everybody so more people would buy it. Well, that doesn't seem to work, just look at Halo. Great games, rated M, and kids seem to get around the "anyone under 17 isn't allowed to play" thing.

Although, now that I think about it... this game is already kid friendly isn't it? Screw it, it should be OK then...

Same with Activision, and you all saw what they did to some Call of Duty games.

Re: The Wii is Here.

whats the EA fit game going to be like? i heard it was more power work outs instead of yoga kinda stuff. sounds like they would throw a scoring system into that.

Sorry, but it's EA. As everybody knows they haven't been making good games lately. Games have great potential, but once EA gets their hands on it, it's screwed. One great example is SPORE. It could've made game of the year if it was done by another unknown company. The only reason people would back EA is because it's very well known. Same with Activision, and you all saw what they did to some Call of Duty games.

In short, don't expect much from it.

Re: The Wii is Here.

In related news, I also go Wii Fit recently.

Needs more game and less "do boring ****" activities. It would've been VERY easy for them to take basic concepts used in the activities and add a scoring system and make a game out of it.

I just got a Wii and Wii fit and it's pretty neat, and I'm sore for doing it all weekend. xD

Re: The Wii is Here.

i've been playing Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the new world, recently, i am in the middle of chapter 6 and i really enjoy the game, it is not better than the original and not even close to beat Tales of the abyss but despite all this, i think it's a great game that has a nice story and interesting unique characters, plus it brings me back to the Tales of symphonia world which is a good thing.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Its not bad at all.
There are a lot of good ones that I am waiting for.

But I have been waiting for Fatal Frame IV for the longest time, ever since i heard that it was going to be made.

Are they even gonna release that in North America? I'm pretty sure its in Japan already but yeah if it does come here I'll prolly be first in line to buy :P

Re: The Wii is Here.

I don't know if I would classify "the casual crowd" as being the core audience for Animal Crossing, but yeah, pretty much.

I don't think it's so bad though. This is just a dry period. They've got this Wario game coming, Animal Crossing, and a Kid Icarus thing in the works, as well as a new Mario and Zelda game on the horizon. It'll be good in the future, it can't be all golden all the time.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Only games for the casual crowd were announced at E3 (well, at Nintendo's press conference) and a new Zelda and Mario game are in production.
