Biggest Problem with the Wii?

[Rainbow]

How stupid do you guys have to be to make comments like: "The Wii can't handle COD4 just like the Genesis couldn't handle TP"?!? You guys can do better than that, posting such silly arguments only manages to make you look out of arguments.

Tell me: "the Wii isn't powerfull enough to handle the advance AI", then I'll listen, and even agree, while still saying that COD4 could still be done, just not in the same form. After all, if last gen could see COD and COD2, why couldn't the Wii see a COD4 that would sit between what COD2 was and what the 360/PS3 versions of COD4 are? And don't mention COD3 for the Wii... that thing looked even worst than the last gen COD, and there were no excuse for that.


On and Li Cha.. please.. it's Genesis, not Gensis...

That's alot of anger, and your stupid comment torwards me wasn't even needed. Genesis, ok sorry, but you only added that part to further imply my stupid. I don't need to deal with that. It wasn't that serious to go out on personal attacks. Not in the same form means it can't handle the real form correct? Oh and get off the idea it is only a graphics difference. Anyway, you win the arguement and you can do what you like with it just please, your degrading my intelligence could go somewhere else.

Rainbow is spot on, except for the AI comment, but let's drive this one home anyway.

You think TP couldn't be 2d?

You really think the gap between LttP and TP is SO HUGE that there is NO POSSIBLE WAY TP could be done like LttP style, or even like the gameboy games [essentially the same?]


Let's play the what-if game.

What if TP was released on Snes, and A Link To The Past [8.8] was the new wii game?

Would you be saying "THERE IS LIEK NO WAY A LINK TO THE PAST COULD BE DONE ON THE GENSIS, NO WAY"?



I'm thinking... Yes.

To be fair, Call of Duty 3 was created by Treyarch, not Infinity Ward, so in that sense bringing up any version of Call of Duty 3 isn't fair game with respect to comparisons of Call of Duty 4.

Call of Duty 4 bills itself as the most realistic looking shooter, and to a great extent it's true. Losing the quality of graphics would remove much of the impact of the game (especially the intro scene of the single player mode, which is just a masterpiece of scripted animation).

Even setting HD graphics aside, there's a lot going on behind the scenes in Call of Duty 4 that wouldn't work as well on the Wii. The AI you might be able to fudge a bit - it's smart, but it's not absurdly smart.

Some of the mission modes in single player would be very hard to do on the Wii. The night time gunship mission where you're basically peering out of a hovering gunship through a nightscope would be much different on the Wii - the zoom would have to be higher to accomodate the lower resolution, which changes the difficulty significantly, and is one of the times where I don't think having an aiming remote would add anything to the experience.

Where CoD4 would suffer most is the online matchmaking. Non-unified friend lists means inviting your friends to a match would be very troublesome, and I shudder to think what ranked play would be like, since the game supports up to 18 player matches.

You couldn't script the same animation on an n64?

You obviously haven't played the game. The opening sequence looks so realistic, it's scary, so no, you couldn't do it on an N64 - nor a Wii.

*sigh* MoH says hello.

Are you talking about MoH: Airborne 2? No voice chat, no text chat, but 32 players. Yeah, impressive. Oh, but wait, it's using EA Nation so that automatically makes it better, right? Oh wait...

I'm saying that there are obvious alternatives to friend codes which people are [still] bitching about. [Strikers anyone? (Aka the Wii's first online title?)]
