so fellow gamespotters had a new thread as to why there are no large scale games for wii.the hd argument is somewhat pointless in the fact that morrowind was made on xbox, gta for ps2 and bully for the wii. also y do third party developers cry about wii sales and yet give them no advertising,be extremly niche,questional quality or major on rails franchises.

what are your thoughts and opinions

I guess they mean sandbox games. They do have a few at least like Scarface. I personally don't like sandbox games because it's too much work to get to do anything fun. It's mostly just walking around finding missions. I guess they should have more though for the people who do like them.

It IS because the Wii isn't in HD.

as mentioned previously I do think of Zelda as open world (though they could have stuck more in it I guess) and I even think of Monster Hunter as open world despite it being a bit small. As for crappy 3rd party games I couldn't begin to tell you as I don't pick them up in the first place. My guess is neither do yo TC since you have bothered to make a profile on a gaming website.

Because a lot of third party games can't profit on the Wii. Which is sad, so developers don't feel like taking the risk. But those that do sell are awesome.

It is disappointing. Even not looking at 360 games, there's nthing to really match last gen GTA or Final Fantasy games.

1st of all, Godfather, Scarface are both decent open world games, but they are not GTA.(godfather is really good, with a decent story, fun controls, and a lot to do in the city). 2nd, you dont get a Wii to blow people heads off and pick up hookers. Wii is for Nintendo games, and for the great 3rd party niche titles. Muramasa, Littlle kings story, madworld, boy and blob, MH3, No more hereos, are a few of really good 3rd party games that no one played that hold up againist the best on any consoles. Its just that they dont have HD graphics, so alot of people dont play them.

PS2 games man...... And not every open world game is = GTA, either, so don't use the "o we don't want violence on Wii anyway" excuse...
