Trauma Center Wii: Fast Action Footage
- Thread starter John Harker
- Start date
We do notice a bit of unsteadiness when the player is waiting around, though. But the procedures themselves don't seem hindered much.dyls said:
One needs to remember, though, that actually handling these instruments in real life would be in 3D. I tried out some 3D laparoscopic (basically, surgeries performed via tiny holes in the patient's abdomen using longreach instruments, rather than exposing the abdomen) simulation as part of a study a while back, and menial tasks are not easy at all. Ever tried tying your shoes with chopsticks? Hehe.
The Wii version might not have as accurate controls as the DS version, but I could imagine it being more 'immersive'.

This game looks fantastic. I'll be picking this game up on day one along with Zelda and Excite Truck.
Fuzzy said:How about if I buy the game without the Wii?
Since it's an Atlus title I'm getting it right away even though I don't plan on getting the Wii until sometime in the new year.
Err why dont you wait until you want to get the console? You might even get some preowned for cheaper as well.

I kinda want this... I'm stuck on X1: Kyriaki. Hooly shit man. This is horrible.
I can't believe the Wii version has a difficulty level harder than the DS one ._.; I guess it's for crazy bastards like my friend who S ranked every mission in the game. I still don't know how he S ranked X1. This is bullshit I swear. I can't even phantom doing it without the Healing Touch. Hell, I can't even do it with the Healing Touch >.<

I dont think I have ever seen anything like that, nor did I ever think a game could be made out of it.
It looks interesting, but it seems repetitive as hell. Are you always pulling glass, and stitching? I know tahst what real-life doctors go thru, but what about the drunk-ass college student who swallows a fork or something? Any wacky surgery? Or constant glass-pulling?

I keep imagining what this game would be like set to Phoenix Wright's 'interrogation' music.

I'm looking forward to this game based solely on GAF's opinion of the DS game, although that does seem to be enough to peek my interest.
Still, Rayman is somethiing I'm getting excited about first-hand. Those cocksucking rabbits :lol.
You won't beat it. I didn't beat it. 95% of all gamers who clear the story mode are not able to get past Kyraki X. But the stories that the 5% tell about Savato X...*shudders*Firestorm said:
Watch for tips.
Some Japanese guy doing it even faster.
Not at all. Glass only factors in maybe two, three missions max in the entire game. And only the early surguries focus on realistic operations. These promo vids aren't showing you the real challenges for fear of spoilers. Hell, in one missionmoku said:

I'd prefer it if they dropped
entirely and just made more ordinary missions the focus. Maybe one or two missions, but that's it. It's not as if real surgery has a lack of examples that would translate well into gameplay.

It's semi-interesting to note that for the stitching, the devs have made it so that only the general directional movement of the Wiimote is traced, and not all the little involentary motions of the hand.
If this is something that can be applied to a FPS' MP3-style "expert" mode but without, and I repeat, without dumbing down the aiming, it could be very effective and satisfying.
Hell, it opens up all kinds of possibilties -- even controlling a character's movement in a 3D platform game.

Don't really think so. I'm holding off on Trauma Centre DS just for this game.

Did I just see a pentagram while he was operating on someone? Oh Atlus. :lol

Isn't that the... um, 'thingy' meant to signify Healing Touch is activated?

DarknessTear said:
Isn't the Wiccan symbol the Pentacle, not the Pentagram?
I dunno much about this, frankly.
The Pentagram isn't nessessarily satanic - that's just a myth that's been propogated by pop culture. In the context of the game it's meant to evoke the powers of some Greek god of medicine and the origins of the Pentagram are Greek.DarknessTear said:
The Wiccan symbol is the Pentacle, while the Pentagram holds wider significance.

For me, it is because I can share it with my girlfriend and she and I can play where ever we happen to be. Plus I think the difference in the motor skills required for each version will warrant purchasing both of these awesome games.pkasho said:

Yeah but you know what they're trying to do anyway. This is Atlus!
I got no problem with Atlus otherwise. Just sick of their little references. Even this game isn't free of it.

Satan isn't cool enough to have a universal symbol. (Unless you count the pitchfork. Which I don't).

Just referencing of any kind. Hell, even if the star wasn't a pentagram, the shape of those cuts on that person at the beginning of the video looked like an incomplete one.
They always do references in their games, for instance the pentagram on the floor on SMT3, as well as the final floor of SMT3 being floor 666 and their other SMT games have similar stuff in it. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was in Devil Summoner as well.
Error can defend it all he wants, it's just because he's a huge fan of Atlus. I understand. But protecting everything a company does also means you agree with what they do, and if that's true, well... It helps people judge your character personally.

That looked great. This will probably be too hard for the weaksauce player that I am, but I think I will like it.

Yeah... I would be under the impression that it's more their attempt at appearing 'cool' and 'dangerous' than the possibility of them being Satanists.

Well of course I'm not saying they are Satanists but they sure do like to promote it or raise shock value of their games or something.
what the hell? Im not defending atlus that's their choice if they want to include that stuff in their games. do you bash castlevania for the inverted pentagrams, goat skulls and shit? no, right? then why is atlus any different?DarknessTear said:
I dont mind if they include that stuff at all.
Mr. Spinnington said:
Ahh thank you now I get it. I dont live in US so I dont know much about that. Good thing I have my friend preorder them for me :lol
BTW, how come this thread is full of this satan discussion right now :S Its just a fantasy, just like Davinci Code. Dig it, pick it. No? then drop it.

I can't think of a single Atlus game that hasn't had to be reprinted due to initial sales in the US.
