how so? gamers still aren't buying the wii. if seven million folks bought a sega pico tomorrow, i wouldn't feel ashamed that i didn't anticipate that response, either. i don't factor non-gamers into my prognostication.
Looks meh to me. Not horrible, but not great either. Like others have said though, the fact that they were able to do this on a small budget is impressive. And the fact that they are trying to produce something other than the usual shovelware Wii gets is nice too.
However, I'm still more interested in their WiiWare games. Gyrostarr and Animales de la Muerte look all kinds of awesome. Hey, maybe the money they make from those games will help fund the development of this one?
EDIT: We have a Drinky Crow sighting people!

How does it look like it'll play like Red Steel?
You can already seen that they've implemented a bounding box similar to MP3 on Expert Mode, and it'll probably be adjustable like MoH:H2.

no, it really hasn't. i see an ugly, dated fps with a tired generic theme that, if reviewed for the pc back in 1999, would serve as the 30% gag score that buttressed the inflated scores given to black and white -- or worse, an fps that doesn't even have the common decency to control well. so i am forced to ask myself WHAT THE FUCK and when my eyes stop rolling like vegas slots they focus on the only reasonable answer i can muster: fucking ninthings want games, but they didn't buy a game console.
Mmm... I'm one of few who didn't enjoy playing MP3. Went about a couple hours into it (when I finally got the ship), but I just had a hard time doing stuff quickly I usually do in shooters especially with the pointing aim. Sold it to a friend.AceBandage said:
I hope they give the option to play with the classic controller or something along the lines of that.
Still, not much is happening in that video. Doesn't seem exciting.

Really? That's very odd.
Personally, I found it much more fluid than dual analog. And it's VERY doubtful they'll include classic controller support.

Those that think it's going to be great are just as wrong as those that think it will be crap.
I applaud their effort. Herculean in comparison to the majority of the industry.

The newer models don't. Get over it.
Watched the video and I'm not hugely sold on the game. Very bland environments, the Wii is definitely capable of more than that. Not a lot happening AI wise either.
Not sure on what the appeal of the title is exactly but as was mentioned earlier, it does look like a shooter circa 1999. I'm assuming it has some sort of interesting gameplay element not evident in the movie because I didn't see anything that really grabbed me personally but I've not been following the development of this title either.

That's actually why.Zer0 said:you are the first poster who used the tag to attack me,seriously
whatever,why this game is so praised? because its looks decent,cant say the same of the mayority of wii games
The art style is major sleepage, the mechanics sound like anything you could get on the 360 and prettier, but the engine is pushing the little Wiimotewonder harder then any game has so far.
It's technical proficiencies though are overshadowed by their art directors lack of artisticness.
It's a nice little engine though.
I always tend to play both sides of any argument. One minute I'll be a Wii owners best friend, the next I'll be pissing in their cornflakes. Or rubbing my genitals on their keyboard so I can laugh about them technically touching my wang.HK-47 said:
On top of that it makes for a fairly convoluted post history.
Meh. Give me a PC shooter or a metroid prime over that generic crap any day. It looked like a bad recreation of that SiN Episode that didn't go anywhere.
A small studio with no funding should know better than to try to make a game competing with others that have budgets in the tens of millions. Gamers have every right to be skeptical of a game that looks like yet another generic shooter.

But there are no games on the Wii with bugets of tens of millions from third parties.
More like a few hundred thousand or something.

Eh? Mind naming all these other competing first person shooters on the wii with tens of million bugets?
Also, I'd say if they can do an fps with good wiimote controls, that would be fairly innovative.

So two other competitors then. One of which is shit and the other isnt really an fps. Gotcha.

Bah. I still don't get why people love so much FPS in which you have only to kill.

There's a reason that concave designs are so rare in high heat outputting devices.Cynar said:
I have no doubt there would have never been a problem with the 360 if MS had went for a functional design over a pretty design.

Well, the problem is that I'm allergic to the genre, outside games that have a fu*** great art design and/or story and/or exploration part. So, I selectively pick up FPS games.
I played Bioshock and Metroid Prime III Corruption for example and they were amazing.
Resident Evil 4 was more horror-story-exploration oriented, so I played it too. I dislike, for example, shitty games like Umbrella Chronicles and ultra-violent games like GTA, even if I know that it should be a amazing gaming experience.

I usually wouldnt be excited about a game like this(although i do like the weapon designs), but the fact that its on the wii and i can use the wiimote to play this makes me want it really bad. Ill be getting this...standard shooters are just so much better for me on the wii. Well, the control is(with aiming and motion gestures), the game itself is another matter most of the time though.
