Lack of Modern Warfare Wii News

There is a constant dishing out of Modern Warfare 2 news such as the recently released trailer for the campaign.

Why do you think that there is no news on Modern Warfare Wii?

It is just above one month before release yet we have seen nothing about it yet.

Would it kill them to give the press any amount of gameplay footage?

Seriously, how do they expect to sell it without even marketing it?

Is the game so bad that showing any game footage would lead to it selling less?

All I want is a single minute of gameplay footage to get a understanding as to what the game will be like.

What do you guys think?

I'd like some gameplay videos as well. I want to see how it holds up to the original Modern Warfare.

Hmm... I wonder why...? My guess is the same reason it probably took Activision so long to even mention the game:

There isn't anything worthwhile to talk about. Just a guess. :P

I just want ot see how well it runs. Hell 30 seconds of video footage is enough.

What more news could you want?... The game has been out for years.

No, the next gen version has been out for years.

World at War Wii was at E3 so we had an idea as to what we were getting.

Sadly, there is a good chance this game will be so bad with glitches, ugly visuals, horrible controls and we don't even have the slightest clue because Treyark won't tell us anything.

There not even showing ps3 MW2 footage i doubt they will show wii.Javieralijandro

The game will look exactly the same on all the other platforms, so showing only 360 footage is also basicly showing footage for all platforms.

I'd like some gameplay videos as well. I want to see how it holds up to the original Modern Warfare.

I won't get it...

I already have (and love) COD4 on the PS3, and that version will probably be better....

And MW2 comes out in a little more than a month so yeah....

i really hope Gamespot and Gametrailers actually do reviews for it.

They're trying to hide how cheap of a port it is and leech off the quality (in critical and popular opinion) of the PS360 and PC games, rather than have to depend on the Wii port actually being able to hold a torch to anything since an early PS2 FPS. Seriously judging by the images they spent about $10,000 porting the game and then just tacked on motion control and removed a lot of stuff.

In basic words, if they sell it without much gameplay footage, people will buy it because of its reputation, but videos would show that it is crap and less people would buy it.

Yeah, I'm kinda' annoyed that they haven't released anything for this game. I really want to see some gameplay of this game. Now that the release is comin' up so soon. though, some type of footage will probably be released pretty soon.

Hope this game turns out well.:)

The majority of Call of Duty fans are on the PC, 360, or PS3 and with Modern Warfare 2 coming out, Activision is going to promote that a hell of a lot more than a dowgraded wii port of a two year old game.

Then why make the game in the first place?

Simple. To take advantage of the Modern Warfare brand, the popularity of the Wii, and those who think that they're getting the same experience that the game's MW counterparts will provide. Activision doesn't need to spend time promoting this game, as those who are going to buy the game will already be aware of it in some way, shape, or form. Not to mention that if the game is as bad as many people are guessing, the publisher doesn't put itself in a position to prove them right.

In short, the only people interested in this game are those Wii owners who will look at this game, see 'Modern Warfare', and pick it up based on the name. It's really the only reason the game has generated ANY hype at all at this point. Why crush hopes by showing gameplay footage of a sub-par game, when you can continue to lead potential consumers astray by making them THINK that they're getting a quality game comparable to the titles it's 'inspired' by? :P

I honestly dont care.

Its going to be a watered down version of a two year old game with no effort put in it at all and they expect us to buy it. Unfortunately some probably will just because its Call of Duty.

It's a lack of respect for the people who will be buying this game. Obviously, they have better things to do. It's pretty sad that a budget title for the Wii called "Marines: Modern Urban Combat" (which might be a port from 2005 game called "Close Combat: First to Fight") that will be released on the same day has better looking screens than this ultra hardcorez record breaking title.psychobrew

ding ding ding we have a winner

Ok, lets say the game is released and sells over a million units like World at War did. If the game is crap, people are not going to buy any more COD games on Wii. At least World at War was somewhat decent.

What they really need to do is have Infinity Ward make an exclusive COD game for Wii during modern times, since they are a great developer, it will result most likely in a great game.

Until we get into another gaming generation in which the Nintendo console has similarly strong hardware to that of the others, I don't see us getting a good multiplatform game.

If the game manages to reach the million mark, that can possibly only imply that those who picked up World at War decided to get this game as well. In that sense, a fanbase has already been established. However, what if this game doesn't reach that mark or even come close to it? It could say that WoW is enough for them, this game wasn't what that userbase wanted, or a combination of the two. We have no way of telling this until the game is released, though.

As far as the other subject goes, I'll say the same thing about Infinity Ward that I say about any third party developer with the Wii. If they want to make a quality game now, there's nothing stopping them. The whole hardware thing has become too much of an excuse for developers who simply aren't interested in developing for the system. It's not like we haven't seen good third party games. Heck, we've seen third party multiplats that have fared BETTER on the Wii, so we know that it's a possibility when big-name developers actually devote time to the system and try to get the most out of it. Would IW's vision of Modern Warfare had been the same as the HD counterparts if they made a Wii version a few years ago? Maybe not in terms of visuals, AI, and things that hardware affect, but we have no way of telling if the Wii version itself could have held its own, if not stand out because of the Wii Remote and motion controls.

Instead, the Wii has to settle for a too-late port that's developed by a B-team developer, at best, that is giving out the impression to many that it's a mere cash-in on the franchise by the part of its publisher. That's not a hardware fault; that's an effort issue.
