I don´t care whether those screens are real or not.
The interview was nice; the control scheme sounds quite fun and the game´ll have 16:9 and 480p.

You people don't get it. You can't flip flop and say they aren't Wii shots, then bash them whenever there's a possibility they are. You contradict yourself and just look stupid

Personally I think they are Wii screens and look closer to the next gen versions than the current gen. And people posting this pic:

I don't get it...I mean looking at the date it was posted way before and was just a placeholder pic...

One interesting thing (this may be mentioned in this interview but I haven't read it yet) is that you actually have access to all your moves at any time in the Wii version since you can always perform the corresponding gesture, but in the other versions you can only perform four moves at any given time since you're limited by the face buttons.

Looks pretty good to me, need to see it in motion, though I am troubled about having to swing like a madman all day!

Interest level zero at E3... After reading the interview and seeing much improved screens, I will be buying at launch. MP adventuring ftw.

Isn't that how most Wii games will be played (in concept at least)?

It's the console for the hyperactive, I tell you.

If you wanna swing like a madman all day, then it's your choice. If I'll play this game, I'll just use small moves.

This is a good game... i enjoyed the game when i had my hands on it. it probably takes about 20-30 hrs to complete straight through without doing any of the extra stuff.

This looks pretty damn good. Kudos to the team for actually trying.

(I honestly expect to see quite a few more third party games at this and Splinter Cell's level graphicly when Nintendo's three Wii-cons come about)

And I look forward to playing this, too. From the descriptions, it sounds alot like that SD Gundam Wii game that has you flicking the controller to destroy stuff.

I very much agree. As long as the graphics aren't worse than Dreamcast then I'm happy. :) To me Shenmue is more beautiful than any games on the consoles that came after it.

That is pretty interesting, it just remains to be seen how good it feels doing those motions.

never underestimate vicarious visions, they did amazing things with the GBA and DS.

Vicarious Visions IS pretty great -- I'd like it if Activision let them do some more original titles rather than primarily confining them to doing the Nintendo versions of multiplatform games. They've clearly got a lot of talent.

Yeah, Activision confirmed they have a Spiderman game in development.

Too bad nintendo wont give the developers the online libraries for the Wii untill next year . This game could have really been something other wise. It looks really close to the 360 and ps3 versions . I am not sure if thats saying something about the Wii power or saying somthing about the develpoers lack of talent on the other consoels .

Good to hear. They could do wonderful things with the web shooting and swinging and whatnot.

As an aside, I was watching the final disc of Full Metal Alchemist last night (and then the OVA) and it struck me how freaking awesome of a Wii game this series would make.

You've got your Wiimote/ pointer to act as that blade that comes out of Ed's android arm, and to perform alchemy, you smack the accelerometer against the Wiimote and then do a thrusting downward motion. Dope. It'd have to have nice, cel shaded visuals too. I'd love that. Regular combat would be akin to this Marvel:UA game (ie shaking the Wiimote for melee and whatnot)

Dope assness.

I think they are the best choice for the Wii version, but i do agree that they should get more freedom.

the models look very nice, maybe because they're simple and dont have much on them. :)

but the textures are not quite there. :/

That would mean that raven is developing it, just it's being ported by VV(to wii, psp, and maybe more portables)

I compiled an info post from the official site and ebgames. It doesn't have the next gen system screens because they are everywhere else. It has psp and ps2 ones. I checked and the xbox ones look exactly like the ps2 ones probably a mixup.

So I checked out ebgames.com(where i get releases and pricing usually)
10/24 for PS2, 360, xbx, gba
11/01 wii and ps3 (probably just a conservative guess)
11/07 psp (bonus content!)
PC game isn't in the computers but the strategy guide includes it. gg eb ftl.

old gen (gba) 29.99
Current gen(ps2 xbx psp) 39.99, this is a drop in the psp pricing from last gen iirc.
Wii 49.99
Next Gen 59.99

well, if you do get a wii it might be novel to have it on that. If you get it for ps2 it'll add to this generation not being over yet but maybe you wouldn't like it monopolizing that much. with okami and ffxii this might get pushed away while it wouldn't on another console. Xbox will probably have crisper graphics than ps2 but considering neither is next gen I would weigh the controller and online play.

PC version I wouldn't touch with money tight at launch. I would wait until I could chat with pc version owners and see if gamepad controls actually work. Also if it follows the xml2 trend a demo for pc will be out three or four months later. GBA will be watered down and doesn't really count, maybe if you had a big bus trip coming up and wanted to try the new modes.

PSP, you like graphics. Unless you really like having a portable fully featured version on the go it's not worth it. The online stats will be cool but maybe that is an unanounced feature for the other versions(especially with 2 on live and one on pc)

I will most likely get the ps2 one first and pick up the others as they get lower in price or I get large sums of money to burn because this line of games is my favourite new one from the 128 bit generation.

glad to heard people isn't stupid anymore
people, what's wrong with you? Those shots looks like current gen! All of those looks like current gen!

If those are really graphics for the Xbox360 and the PS3 then... :lol at the developer effort.

I think that someone pick up the current gen game and ported to all new gen systems :lol

The hell is wrong with you? Everybody knows that the Wii is incapable of producing anything near 360/PS3 level graphically. These shots look nice, that's enough for the Wii because it's banking itself on the Wiimote.

This only works if the 360 and PS3 versions of the game actually look really good themselves. When none of them take advantage of the hardware, all of the impact of "Wii LOL" jokes are lost. It's also worth mentioning that you're pretty late to the party with that punchline, fitting or not.

I linked to a list above.

My main gripe is WHERE'S THE HULK?!?! First Marvel Nemesis did him in in the cutscenes, and now this. Did the movie bomb that bad? I don't think he's that much more powerful than Thor or Silver Surfer, so what gives?
