Well, the media have played it, and they say the Wii version is the superior version with superior controls.

Yeah, maybe for the FISHING. But the action part looks terrible. I'm not going to sit there and wave my arm around when it doesn't even affect shit other than being the same as pressing a button, only more "active" and annoying.

You're not even interacting with it. You're just moving it instead of pressing the button which seems a lot faster and easier on your arm to me.

First of all, the insult was uncalled for.
Second, it sure as hell looked like Ganon to me. I haven't been following the game that closely because I want to be surprised when it comes out so excuse me for not knowing every little detail about it.

Ahh I didn't mean to insult you. Sorry! I was just being "fired up" so to speak.

I was really impressed by FFXII.
But c'mon, I was generally positive about all of the games I commented on except for Red Steel (and the few Halo 3 details). Am I being a hater if I'm not sufficiently enthusiastic about high-profile releases now?
Why?
DarknessTear said:
That's nice. ANy more insights? BEcause your impressions based on 0 playtime hold so much weight against the impressions of the 15 or so journalists Ive read who have played it for hours on end, and who hold an opinion which is the complete opposite. So why do you have to keep regurgitating your baseless impressions? We get it. . Its called trolling.

They said the sword and aiming controls are much better on Wii.

Sore thumbs? Well I don't know about girls (if that's what kind of creature you really are) but I don't get sore thumbs from many action games.
And yeah, I've heard nice impressions on it too. But from what I see this guy doing, it doesn't look so great. And he pretty much showed everything you can do with it on the action side of the whole thing. I don't really like what I see.

I think it's because the people who find it boring or don't watch it don't post in this thread.

Impressions:
Halo 3 = meh
Red Steel = really awesome! I liked the fact that it reminds people of Goldeneye. Was a great split-screen shooter. the Killer concept is really nice. I thought some of the levels were very cool, very vertical so you could get a workout. The only problem is that it really is splitscreen. Online Red Steel would be soooo much better.
Yoshi's Island = meh on the gameplay, whoa on the difficulty
Gears of War = mine eyes doth bleed
Zelda = ****ING TWO WEEKS AWAY NO LESS. GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Probably the best 1UP show overall. Almost never a dull moment.

Im not sure if you're a guy either(or whatever kind of creature you are), but a lot of how the game is played has to do with the experience itself. You're only going to know so much before you actually play a game with the Wiimote in your hand. Many of the impressions about Zelda:TP BEFORE people got a chance to play it mirrored the same concerns you have. Why is it that everyone feels that the Wii version is better AFTER experiencing it? Seeing != believing in this case......
Yeah bro, I did the same thing. It looked AWESOME. But did you notice that it looked a little worse during the Gears segment?TheWolf said:i just wanted to say the high res WMV looks real good on the big HDTV through the 360. i'll be watching the shows like this from now on.

I'm not a fan of FPS games but Gears looks about as close as you can get to being inside an action movie. I never got that with Halo, but Gears just looks like palm-sweatingly intense which is what I love about great video games. I could see myself really getting into that game.
Up until now Gears was not on my radar, but after seeing the commercial on TV (with one of my favorite songs no doubt) and the footage on the 1-up show; well, lets just say it's definately on my radar now.
My Zelda hype, on the other hand, is just off the charts for me. I cry everytime I see a new Zelda video.

And pressing buttons is not repetitive? Haven't you ever had your thumbs hurt after playing a game with analog sticks for a long hours? What's the difference wheter your arm or thumbs get tired? I just don't think this arguement holds water anymore after everyone who has tried it has said it is not a problem.
Mashing said:
This isn't an argument and I'm not trying to hold any water with my statement.
It's merely personal perference.
And no, my fingers have never gotten sore pressing buttons -- even when it came to games like Ninja Gaiden, which I beat. Nope, not even after playing Soul Calibur or VF marathons.
Hmm, gee, maybe I LIKE pressing buttons.
Well it's not that you don't like Halo that much. I mean, yeah I respect that, I heard about some people who don't like it for their reasons. But being more excited for a poor looking FPS (in compare to the quality of halo 3) is funny.Maxrpg said:
Oh and now you want to back up "it's a different opinion" lol
Halo 3 - They loved it. They got that goofy smile you get when talking about a really, really good time you had with your buddies. Bodes very well. Loved those segments, but then, I would.
Yoshi - FF FTW.
Red Steel - Watched a few minutes. Very, very meh. The controls look tough to master, but they only got it for a few hours. The coolest thing was the telephone bit at the beginning to tell you your secret message. Of course, if you could play online you'd have your own screen and wouldn't need that...but I digress.
Gears of War - Good discussion. It sounds like all of the initial concerns - repetitive gameplay, balancing, environmental variety - have been put to rest. The game sounds like a monster, and a pretty unconventional one at that. Best gameplay moment - waiting with the bow for the train to pass by, then sticking and exploding the guy on the other side as soon as it did. :lol
Zelda - I watched a small portion. I hate to say this, but nothing has illustrated with such vivid clarity the impact visuals can have on a game than switching from Gears to the Zelda footage. Simply monsterous. I've always had a very low opinion of the waggle, but seeing a Gamecube game controlled via waggle vs. Gears...no contest. The game itself sounds great, and a Zelda fan's dream come true. But goddamn imagine that with the impact of Gears visuals. Goddamn.
Great, entertaining show.

Who needs next-gen graphics when you've got waggle?
Wish we could have gotten both (but not with tacked on waggle on traditional action games).
Think of the control issue from this perspective.
Let's say I have two games for my PS2 and I just want to sit back and unwind. Now, I can play something like Culdcept, which allows me to make decisions at my own pace and just relax, or I can take on the hardest mode of Devil May Cry 3.
Do you see how that sort of mindset fits into playing Zelda? There are times when one wants to be a lazy bastard, and the Zelda series typically lets you do that.

How is it that waggle-haters can acknowledge that EAD is arguably the finest developer in the history of gaming, and await Zelda TP knowing it will be one of, if not the greatest games of all time, while at the same time doubting they know enough about what they've been doing virtually flawlessly for the past 20 odd years, to get the controls right?
yeah, I hesitated even going there. My opinion on the Wii is very, very low due to the waggle concept and I promised myself to stay out of Wii threads, which I have. But since everyone else was doing the segment rundown, I thought I'd at least express my thoughts on the subject. Zelda looks like a massive, polished and wonderful game. But that contrast...is huge. Since I hate waggle the 'tradeoff' argument just doesn't go anywhere with me.Maxrpg said:
Okay, done talking about the Wii. No need to freak out, not everyone is sold on the Wii's concept.
Anyhoo - watching the show on TV via the 360 was cool. It was a good, well-produced show with good discussion. Keep it up, 1up guys.
