New Online Co-op FPS for Wiiware by Hudson

http://www.hudsonentertainment.com/g...hp?game_id=191

Not too bad looking for Wiiware:

[Arde5643]

Looks interesting - hopefully we'll get some previews soon.

[Htown]

Looks better than Quantum of Solace.

[Stitch]

mmhhhh....

4 player online co-op sounds interesting. 2008 was a pretty lame year for wii but 2009 looks pretty awesome... ^^

[Dandy]

Looks like shit.

[olubode]

Holy crap. Apparently all the software companies woke up at around the same time.

[Fantastical]

Will most likely be terrible, but at least it's some interesting news. :P

Hudson is doing a lot of stuff on WiiWare.

[Teknoman]

This will be Wii's EDF 2017 of that im sure.

Will be nice if its like Serious Sam + nice motion controls and wii speak functionality.

Military types with glowing eyes existed long before a certain popular game you know.

[corkscrewblow]

This game looks (graphically) like CS.

...CS came out 10 years ago.

[Teknoman]

Go go Onslaught force!

[Andrex]

mmhhhh....

Looks like Master Chief.

This game looks (graphically) like CS. ...CS came out 10 years ago.

WiiWare has a 40MB limit.

[GhostSeed]

Co-Op is cool but seriously those graphics are terrible.

Turok 3 for reference.

[dallow_bg]

Wow at the Turok 3 pic.

Looks like shit.

jk, i <3 moz

[Teknoman]

Its not done yet is it?

[Somnid]

This game looks (graphically) like CS. ...CS came out 10 years ago.

Negative comparisons are best done to games that aren't played much anymore.

This has potential. I hope it turns out good.

[EmCeeGramr]

...uh.

I mean, yeah it's a downloadable game, but that's kinda... yeah.

[Stitch]

i know

[TruthJunky]

It is pretty fucking awesome how bad the graphics are. Hilarious.

[VideoMan]

Co-Op is cool but seriously those graphics are terrible. Turok 3 for reference.

That's probably a fair comparison since the 40mb WiiWare limit means this game will be about the same file size as Turok 3.

Turok 3 never looked that good on actual N64 hardware BTW. That shot is an up-rezzed emulator screen.

[lynux3]

Just wow @ the graphics.

[PSGames]

It's a WiiWare title on GC calibur hardware what in the world were you people expecting?

[domokunrox]

Looks like Perfect Dark (N64) and Halo combined.

[obaidr]

This image is about 12 years old.




This game will be released this year.

[basik]

I want more wii online fps games, this is good.

port the quake 2 engine with CTF, action quake 2 mod and gloom mod, I'd play it forever.

[Shapingo]

How much are Wiiware games?

[TheGrayGhost]

This is so gonna kick some serious ass. THANK God for Hudson. WiiWare + VC + DS is just the best.

[Labombadog]

Co-Op is cool but seriously those graphics are terrible. Turok 3 for reference.

isnt that Turok 2??

[DeaconKnowledge]

How much are Wiiware games?

Depends. FFCC: MLAAK was 15 bucks and the most expensive Wiiware title.

So no more than that.

[Htown]

Again, for those of you who don't know, there's a 40 mb limit for Wiiware games. (Still doesn't look as good as most WiiWare games.)

[Stitch]

How much are Wiiware games?

500 - 1500

isnt that Turok 2??

yes, the PC version. Or maybe a Emulator on PC but it never looked that good on N64.

[Eteric Rice]

Hopefully what it lacks in graphics, it can make up in fun factor.

[beje]

How much are Wiiware games?

500 to 1500 points ($5 to $15)

Hudson games are usually worth 800 or 1000 points.

Edit: Beaten

[joetachi]

First people are ignoring the fact its for wiiware and then they pull the it looks like a n64 game even though its pretty obvious it looks a lot better. I not saying that i love it but it looks ok for what its for and the size limit.

[ElectricThunder]

I can't say for sure whether I'd jump on this or not, as I've been burned out on general FPS stuff for several years now...however...the focus on co-op over deathmatching leaved me mildly intrigued----as the times back when I enjoyed FPS games were also largely of a co-op nature.

Let's see what Hudson's got cooking in terms of depth and such...

[EmCeeGramr]

Guys, there are plenty of WiiWare games that look better than this, so that's not a real excuse.

[donkey show]

Wasn't Hudson pulling out of the Wiiware business though, or was that false?

[[Nintex]]

They're pulling out of the virtual console business

[Linkzg]

Coded Arms?

[SecretBonusPoint]

Just because something is new doesn't mean you have to buy it people or get hyped for it. This looks like shit. No excuses.

[Relaxed Muscle]

Seeing this, we should agree that they make a big mistake, at least from a Wii owner point of view.

[Nuclear Muffin]

Don`t see why the polygon count is low, it`s not like higher polygon models take up a noticably larger amount of space, textures are what should eat up memory. I could excuse low res textures, but not polygon models this low, that`s N64 material right there.

Strange because Bomberman Wii Ware is actually a very good looking (And sounding!) game...

[VideoMan]

GAF jizzed all over itself when they released Duke Nukem 3D on XBLA without updating the graphics at all. How is this any different really? It's just supposed to be a cheap fun shooter.

[Beaulieu]

Yeah seriously
With a 40Mb limit and today's compression technologies, it's incredebly bad looking.

[Puncture]

I was about to rip into the game but didnt realize it was Wiiware.

With that size limit games of this scale probably shouldnt even be tried. 40mb is like N64 Territory in terms of storage. Im not really surprised these images gave me quake 1 flashbacks now. The crosshair omfg its so ugly.

Bomberman Wii was on a static screen, with a smaller pallet.

An FPS has to have Multiple locations, as well as weapons, enemies, AI and netcode. That's a real apples to oranges comparison.

but that's a shot from the updated pc version

Duke Nukem 3D was (is) a great FPS, it's almost a classic.

This is an uninspired piece of shit who looks like a N64 game, and no, it's not a hyperbole this time.

Maybe the game will show it's truly a quality piece of software, so that time I will retract my words, but for now it's looks like shit.

[Chemo]

Not only does this look like complete shit, but the co-op will be terrible as well given the Wii's online track record. What a waste of time and money.

Yeah... I agree with this. It's just a bad idea to try and do this given the limitations. Things like Duke Nukem 3D at least has the nostalgia factor going for them.
