Worked for Biohazard: Gun Survivor (ugh, no guncon support in US) and X-box port of House of the Dead 3 (unless you got the mad cats lightgun/Silent Scope controller).

yesReginald P. Linux said:HD, Achievements and other additions like online co-op and 5.1 sound might make it a big update over the Wii version. Nothing funny about that.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAceBandage said:And you say I'm trying to "spin this" like it means anything.
I'm simply stating the facts.
"Wii owners" didn't want this game because the demographic that would even buy such a thing doesn't exist actively in the userbase. The "backlash" was only from butthurt Wii fans who wanted this game to be something it was not. Meanwhile the actual game was highly praised.AceBandage said:I've never claimed to be, but I fail to see how I'm trying to spin anything here.
People don't want this game, the sales indicate that, the backlash indicate that.
However, it seems EA is just hell bent on shoving this game down people's throats.

Don't listen to me. I'm just bitter about the game in general.Reginald P. Linux said:HD, Achievements and other additions like online co-op and 5.1 sound might make it a big update over the Wii version. Nothing funny about that.

grandjedi6 said:I'm not sure why you are even trying to evade this as you're as transparent as a window. Once the game failed to be what you wanted (or rather what you wanted to brag about in system warz) and once it failed to sell enough, you essentially tossed away and tried to make various excuses for it such as "no one would ever want it" and a hypothetical "backlash". And now that the game may possibly be ported elsewhere, you've kicked your excuses into hyperdrive.

There's about thirty five reasons why.Aaron Strife said:not even wii owners wanted this, why would it do better on XBLA
Sipowicz said:what the fuck are you talking about?
the demographic exists, although it is pretty small. that said silent hill managed to sell 50k in the first month of npd through word of mouth aloneand that wasn't even exclusive. re4 did ok too as did the first resident evil lightgun game, although people actually know what resident evil is
initially there was quite a bit of excitement surrounding extraction, excitement that rightly dissapeared once it was revealed to be the short, outsourced, overpriced, uninteractive, rehashed arcade game spinoff that it is. dont paint this as some minor thing. practically everyone who was aware of this game's existence dismissed it outright as soon as the reality of it became apparent
DeathbyVolcano said:Jesus, jerk it with sandpaper. The game is fucking awesome and only Wii fans who wanted something that isn't logical to put on the system got angry.
Extraction's fault was that it got piss poor advertising. Stop thinking the Wii hardcore base is this all powerful proverbial FuckForce.
Honestly now, where does your perception of the Wii userbase come from? The percent of Wii owners who care even a little about such a thing, basically boils down to the thousand or so fans who already post on video game forums.AceBandage said:If by butthurt Wii owners, you mean the people that are tired of third parties treating the system like shit and giving it spin offs and crap downs, sure.
You're a nonstop system warz machine. Its just that in your case, rather than Sony or Microsoft being "the enemy", its anyone who doesn't fully adhere to Nintendo 100%.AceBandage said:Oh yeah, I'm just so active in the system wars threads.
I can't stop posting about how OMG! TEH WII AM TEH BESTEST! ALL OTHER SYSTEMS AM TEH SUCK!
I may have a personal preference for the Wii this generation, but I don't give a damn about your system wars. I'm just tired of third parties not even getting basic things like people aren't big on spin off light gun games.

Rush2thestart said:The audience for lightgun games is not on Wii, btw. It's not on PS3/360 either. Is there an audience for a RE4 style game like Dead Space? Well a 4 year old port that sold a million copies says yes. Note: I am aware RE is a big franchise, but that doesn't mean a Dead Space port would do poorly.

RE4 Wii does not apply anymore. That train has departed. The users who bought RE4 have long since bailed for greener pastures or were never going to buy additional games anyway. Indeed, it seems to be a trend on the Wii for the userbase to ignore sequels to games as they've gone ahead and 'gotten their fill' from just the first one or two games. Hence the gradual death of the minigame genre and now, apparently, the lightgun genre. A RE4-2/6/whatever would probably never reach the sales of RE4 wii, let alone a Dead Space styled one.Rush2thestart said:How is it not logical to want Dead Space 1 on the Wii? They had an Xbox 1 version running at some point!

Reginald P. Linux said:I'm not completely familiar with the sales numbers, but didn't the light gun Resident Evil game do really well on Wii?
Doesn't this show there's an audience for lightgun games on Wii?
And yet titles such as Umbrella Chronicles, House of the Dead and Ghost Squad have done pretty well on the Wii, no?AceBandage said:From common sense. Light gun shooters have never been big sellers, and expecting an outsourced spin off light gun shooter to do well was ignorance on EA's part.
And the fact that they didn't even bother to promote it properly was just icing on the cake.
Yes but you seem to define "sheer arrogance and ignorance" on behalf 3rd parties as simply them not doing everything YOU want to happen. Hell, you even had the gall to suggest that Nibris knows more about the industry than Capcom, for no reason other than because Nibris's gimmick is to appeal to fanboy's pipe dreams.AceBandage said:Also incorrect.
I don't give a shit if people don't like Nintendo or what they are doing.
However, I can not stand the sheer arrogance and ignorance that third parties have displayed this generation.
It's simply amazing that they think they can get away with the shit they put out.
Ubisoft had the balls to complain about their Petz series not selling well on the Wii and DS.
grandjedi6 said:And I'm not sure how that is a defense of your statement that DSE failed because of " people that are tired of third parties treating the system like shit", as if most users were even aware of such a situation.

BurritoBushido said:I wish more companies might do this. I think A Boy and His Blob could benefit from this kind of thinking as well.
Did it really have a MSRP of $50 on release? Wow, I bought it for $30 like a month after release. Awesome game!Anony said:15 usd on xbla/psn
vs
50 usd on wii
reaffirms this should have retailed for budget price on wii when it released if this is true
AceBandage said:UC did well because people thought it was a new RE game. Didn't work so well the second time around though, did it?
HotD also wasn't a spin off and was MEANT to be a light gun game, so was GR. So those are moot to the point.
Considering how third party games, regardless of genre or quality including the "casual" games are failing left and right, it seems like most users are indeed aware.
What an arrogant and ignorant comment. How ironic.AceBandage said:It has nothing to do with what I want, but rather what should happen.
Third parties started out on the console with quick ports and low quality exclusives, and never moved past that, and they expected to find success on the console simply because of the user base size.
I'd call that arrogance and ignorance.

mugurumakensei said:EA: We expect Wii owners to pay $50 for our title developed on a small budget.
EA: We understand the needs and desires of the hardcore market on PS3 and the 360. As such, we know the audience would be unwilling to play full price for our budget game. Therefore, we will do the right thing and release at $15 as the market desires.
timetokill said:It was a fun experience though,
timetokill said:and I think a must-have for Dead Space fans.
grandjedi6 said:So you think that UC sold well because it "tricked" people into somehow thinking it was a regular Resident Evil game and that DC did poorly because users refused to be "tricked" this time? Where the hell do you get such an idea? What about all the other RE spinoffs on the PS2? Were those also cases of users being "tricked" emasse? I highly doubt that the far majority of gamers who bought the game somehow didn't know that it was a lightgun game. Hell, it was on the back of the fucking boxart.
grandjedi6 said:Really AceBandage, can you tone down on the whinning, just a little? You post alot in Wii related topics and yet its always just you complaining about this publisher's stance on the Wii, or about his journalists comments or even just in general. Thus we come to a situation where almost every Nintendo related thread on this forum has multiple whinny posts from you over some random indignation of yours. It makes you such an unbearable poster overall.
