The next best thing is friend horde, which at least keeps people updated with friend code registrations, it just hasn't been discovered yet.

You are such a whore! :lol

Aliens vs Nazi's confirmed.

^^:lol :lol

Oh HVS, you so silly.

 

[Threi]

That poster is kind of ironic as games where you kill aliens are just as overdone as games that take place in WWII :lol

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Now that's awesome.

 

[markatisu]

That poster is hilarious, it speaks the truth as well with the overdone WWII theme

But are there really 12 Wii FPS games?

 

[wackojackosnose]

Funny poster.

Doubt it will help sell games though.

 

[JDSN]

I guess they finally realized the main reason of why people cares about this.

Probably, once you factor in crappoware games like Skyscraper.

I don't think HVS is based at www.The-Conduit.webs.com.

Not on the Wii.

Oh Ho ho.

That's a watermark added after the fact. The original image is from Eric, the dude with the hair in the interviews.

It's a quality game?

But are there really 12 Wii FPS games?

WWII:
Call of Duty 3
Medal of Honor: Heroes II
Brothers in Arms: Double Time
Medal of Honor: Vanguard
Call of Duty: World at War

non-WWII:
Red Steel
Far Cry: Vengeance
Metroid Prime 3
007: Quantum of Solace
Onslaught

Not sure what the others are. Also not sure if they are limiting it to released games.

I completely forgot about 007, Brothers in Arms and MOH:V

[donny2112]

I completely forgot about 007,

Wii had the best-selling version (according to the same source as the other leaked Jan data). If that doesn't tell you there's a FPS-starved audience on Wii, nothing will. :lol

History Channel Pacific something, WWII FPS

Rounded to the nearest 10K, 180/140/100 is Wii/360/PS3. I'd have probably bought it myself (after some price drops), if the bounding box could've been tightened down a lot more.

Thats fascinating, I guess when those numbers came out I saw Sonic Unleashed and Force Unleashed doing so well on Wii that I forgot 007 was another one that did better/good on the Wii.

After all the bashing the Wii version got for its graphics you would imagine it tanked (not that 180k is a cheerleading number, but it seems the game did not fare well regardless of platform)

 

[Kilrogg]

NO, NO, you don't get it! It didn't sell most on the Wii because there's an audience for that kind of game. Nonsense! It's because Wii owners actively look out for games ported as afterthoughts...

Or so I heard.

 

[pakkit]

Movie tie-ins should be expected to sell the most on the most "mainstream" of the consoles. No big surprise there.

 

[Dabookerman]

It's a james bond game. Bond is popular amongst people other than teens, so it makes sense.

What about the other multi platform games?

 

[donny2112]

What about the other multi platform games?

Wii and PS3/360. Wii and PS3/360.

It's not about making games Wii-only. It's about making sure there's a Wii version of every major multi-platfom game. There's no reason not to with the userbase so large, and with so many publishers losing money, there're lots of reasons to have a Wii version in production.

Wii and PS3/360.

P.S. Love the straws people are grasping for when one poorly rated FPS happens to sell most on Wii. You'd think Wii Call of Duty: World at War was nipping at the 360 version's heels or something. :lol Did you happen to consider a more simple explanation? Maybe PS3/360 owners had better options to buy than Wii owners did?

Donny you should know by now everything for Wii needs a qualifer or * to explain it

 

[JDSN]

It doesnt count because Bond has blonde hair.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

Quantum of Solace Wii is also the only version with local multiplayer, that huge oversight on the part of the PS360 versions might be more important than we think

Seriously COD4 had local multiplayer, how did they fuck that up

Interview about controls and other things. Lots of screenshots of control options and gameplay.

From the interview:

Eric: We could run at 60 fps as well if we wanted to look like a PSP game ported to Wii, which is what Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is.

We even prototyped a Wii MotionPlus specific melee weapon and it showed a lot of promise. But we simply didn't have enough time in our schedule to make it polished and great. So, it had to go.

 

[Vinci]

*sigh*

As tired as I am of FPSs, and as generic as this game looks, I might support it simply due to all the control options and configurations they included. That's awesome.

 

[Majmun]

Maybe I hit my head but this sounds fun.

 

[ChoklitReign]

What an ugly, ugly game. Zero bump mapping and more aliasing than you can shake a Wiimote at. Metroid Prime 3 looks ten times better. I still hope it's a blast to play.

That's because Prime 3 had brilliant environments and art design.

 

[Davey Cakes]

You can adjust the thrust and shake sensitivity?

Holy crap. I hadn't noticed that option before.

Once again, MP3 proves that these developers don't know shit.

 

[Cipherr]

Somehow no matter what game happens to sell on Wii theres some "reason" why its never a surprise or a big deal or even meaningful at all. But when the opposite happens its all the proof in the world that the Wii is hardly worth the effort for third parties.

 

[KittenMaster]

This game is going to be amazingly fun.

 

[abstract alien]

Once again, MP3 proves that these developers don't know shit.

These guys have made so many good decisions, been open to criticisms, and have actually fixed issues that normally go unchanged when voiced. Ive felt that they have given us the absolute best product that is possible with their capabilities, and I will most certainly show support with my money on day 1(preordered actually). With that said, I beg to get an explanation for that statement, because if they meant it as it sounds, then it qualifies as one of the most idiotic things ever said.

Maybe they just meant that it wasnt technically possible with their own specific capabilities to get it at a rock solid 60fps. I hope thats what was meant...

:^/

 

[VideoMan]

Apparently this is the cover art for the GameStop exclusive limited edition.

So if the normal box art is just too radical for your tastes, well there you go (it's the same price as the standard edition).

Wow, a boxart that doesn't look like a Genesis game AND those amazing bonuses?

 

[donny2112]

I'm going to get that. The problem is, I really like the regular cover, too. Hmmm. I know a guy who's getting the game, too, though, so maybe he'll get the regular game.

 

[Scrubking]

Nothing beats the Extreme! cover. Besides the bonuses will probably be unlocked later for everyone.

 

[markatisu]

*scratches head* WTF

Its the truth, MoHH2 is a PSP port to Wii. It does run fast but it looks like complete ass

Not sure what the problem is with that comment

 

[jrricky]

What does the regular edition boxart look like?

 

[JDSN]

OMG 24 pages of Conduit art! :lol

I love the argument that its success actually means it fails.
