scitek said:I realize the costs of the technology needed to program a game for an HD console are high, but isn't the pressure of properly implementing motion controls into a game on the Wii almost as costly from a testing standpoint? We've seen some games use motions successfully (No More Heroes, The Godfather), but the Wii isn't without its obstacles.

Shin Johnpv said:Programmers and Artists get paid pretty damn good (ie high) salaries. Game testers, which they would probably use to test and figure motion controls, get paid a FRACTION of what a programmer/artist gets paid. You could hire multiple testers for what 1 programmer/artist would cost you.
the most expensive Wii game on record was Red Steel at 12 million, but only because it was a mad dash to make it. give a team 15 million and two years, they could create something beautiful. compare that to 35-100 million for HD games. not a fun concept...Log4Girlz said:Yes, if anything is far more expensive. I can easily see most Wii games costing 20-30 million dollars to create. Or maybe not.

And the Game Republic game for Brash wasn't Kung Fu?
Other than that, it's always said to see studio's closed, I don't care how well their last title did
Thank you. Depending on who owns the GmbH, it probably would survive even if Factor5 USA goes out of business. Which doesn't seem to be the case anyway, so it doesn't really matter I guess.Shiggy said:CEO Factor 5 GmbH Germany / R&D Lead Engineer

Man Icarus?Shiggy said:According to Falafelkid the studio has not closed. They still work on both Wii games and their technology project.
So is this a character from Lair (character has a bow in his hand as well as wings)?

Goddamnit Factor5. On one hand I fucking love your flight design and gameplay, but on the other I fucking hate designs like this and your track record with on-foot shit is weak.
What the hell is with the 80s puff mullet?

My brain frequently wants to trip up Factor 5, Level Five, and 5th Cell.DrForester said:phew. I thought level 5 for a minute.
carry on.
Dark FaZe said:Man this is getting rough. Console war bullshit aside unless your title is a guaranteed sell (and even if it is) there is absolutely no reason to be exclusive anymore.
And two developers of huge Star Wars franchises seem to be going down. Raven next?
And it's also possible that they'll do other character design changes before it gets to release.Black-Wind said:Damn . . . thats one ugly render >_>
And that hair . . . and that camal hump . . . and that out-fit . . . and that over all design >_>
. . . . . . . I fucking hope this game was put down. Bt who knows, maybe it looks . . . better in . . . motion (-_-)
Would hope so . . .bmf said:And it's also possible that they'll do other character design changes before it gets to release.
Thats a good example for why this render sucks balls.Also:
Original character design.
