How much potential does the wii have for FPS

The wii controles are very good for a FPS game. Most people have said that their bettern then analog and is right behing keybord and mouse. Do you think that because of the wii controles it has enough potential to have excellent FPS games, ones that are as good a 360, just with out the graphics. We know wii can have good online multiplayer when handled corrrectly, metal of honor heros 2 has 32 multiplayer which is very good.

TONS of potential.

best example I can think of without trying to actually get into whether it's a FPS or FPA is Metroid Prime 3 Corruption

None. Shooters are always inferior on the Wii.dracula_16

Just to add a bit of spin, maybe it's the console's faults that make the developers do what they do (or don't do).

Best out of all 3 contendors and PC mainly because of the Wiimote Motion controls, now if only Devs can take advantage of it...SMR-Venom

Cmon now think about it, the wii-pointer has lag on it (or delay whatever) its also uncomfortable to point at the screen for ours on end.

and you want to sacrifice Graphics, Online, DLC just for that? the pointer? ... really? Even then the mouse is still ALOT better.

Poor Graphics, Poor Online, Poor DLC , lagging pointer , I say not much. To PC standards at least.Meu2k7

Mostly QFT.

Not to mention it doesn't seem anyone has any interest in making FPS for the Wii anyway, I doubt we'll see a good one for a long time, if ever.

No standard HDD makes DLC scarce at best?

Only 1 game has even remotly up to scratch online, and thats a 1st party, mario kart.

Please, I gaurentee you in the Wii's lifetime there wont be a shooter that looks as polished or even texturally impressive as Mario Galaxy, Mario Galaxy looks so good because not ALOT is rendered in comparison to other games, neither the AI or anything.

My arguement fails? by all means show me a game thats in development that meets your requirements? I sure dont see one.

wii does have online, its not good but it does have it. MOHH2 proves the wii can have decent online capiability. MOHH2 has 32 online multiplayer, which is very impressive for wii. However i still rather play with my 360 when it comes to FPS. The wii remote does make me feal more like iam on the battle field even thoughn the graphics are bad.

I don't think the Wiimote is all that great for FPS, I don't like how it's the only control scheme where I have to keep track of some out of game bounding box. It has potential, but I wouldn't say it has more potential b/c of it's Wiimote. The potential IMHO comes from Nintendo's support as a developer.-RPGamer-

what about nintendos next console they did said it will have graphics like the other consoles, and iam sure online mode will be much better. o you thnk nintendo will be the king of FPS again like it did back on the N64

I don't need, or care, to have motion controls to do simplistic activities in games like opening doors, reloading, picking up objects, throwing, sniping (I don't understand what turning the Wiimote on an axis has anything to do with sniping) etc. Beside what I mentioned in my first post, in some instances the Wiimote turns FPS games into light gun-esque games, which I don't overly care for (the gun add-on reminded me of this).

You're not selling me on this, I still give more credit to Nintendo as the potential to have a great FPS than I do to their hardware.

Nintendo and their hardware are not seperate things. Ow yes i never disagreed with how nintendo's software talent offers more potential for a great FPS than their hardware efforts at the moment.
Did i quote the wrong person? Cause i wanted to make clear the wii offers unique possibilities to elevate the FPS genre amongst others.
I could have made a mistake, my mind is a bit full this night.

I can't help anyones opinion on things as they are now, and not even change it, if it is the premise of their arguments. All i can ask is for them to dream along with everyone so they stop feeling bad about its existence, its current role to play.
KungfuKitten

Hardware and software are different enough to seperate conceptually. Nintendo does both ends of the business, but that doesn't mean we can't split them apart when talking about their in house talent(s).

Not sure if you quoted the wrong person, I was just replying to what I saw.

I don't feel bad for the Wii (and it's role), I enjoy it. However, I do wish it was a more complete package.

The Wii has the potential to support some of the best shooters ever, much like the DS.

But I wouldn't be surprised is, like the DS, the potential is left unrealized.

vashkey

it has exelent potential to be better than mouse/kb, and it has the grafical potential to be so much better than it is, hell with the right engine early 360 quality might work with throwing the wiis little prosessers into overload

why the hell nobody has taken the inititive is odd

The only game I've seen that is in development for wii fps's that looks any good is the conduit, which doesn't show great graphics like I think an fps should have.

0:D

Poor Graphics, Poor Online, Poor DLC , lagging pointer , I say not much. To PC standards at least.Meu2k7

The pointer only noticably lags in certain games, not all of them. That would suggest a software issue rather than a hardware one.

air_wolf_cubed

Judging by your response Im pretty sure you've never actually played any of the shooter on the DS.

The touch screen would act as the mouse, while the top screen displays what your shooting.

Pick up a copy of Metroid Prime Hunters, you'll see what Im talking about.

I dont need to talk about potential i can just talk about MP3 instead. Sorry everyone failed when they said "NO" that the Wii cannot do FP:S/A as there proof already that it can and it can do a excellent job. The people who say "Well its my opinion so i cannot be wrong" well theres some proof that the Wii can do FPS/A so argue with facts.

well, this is the case:

the wiimote and nunchuck are FAR better suited for fps games than the dual analog controllers. Sadly many people will never play shooters on the Wii because they don't like the graphics or they are preocupied with image.

But the wii has huge potential for shooters. sadly.. it lacks power....

lol I must be one of only ones who have this "lagging pointer issue" on the Wii, I've got no problems with it.

I've played fps games since the early 90's on the PC (things Wolf3d, Duke3d to fps games) and absolutly love them anyone remember games like Blake Stone, Blood, Heretic or Rise of the Triad

I do wonder if some posters are not being entirely honest with their views and letting their fanboy hate come through, what if Nintendo never released a Wii and M$ or Sony designed a controller similar aimed @ first person shooters I do wonder if alot of you fanboys will be screaming it was the best thing ever.... I play first person shooters on all the consoles and my PC and enjoy them all....

The Wii Remote offers a new way to play them which imo is very good and I do wonder if your judgement is cloudy by weaker graphics or hate....

bf2nutta

it's something they read and it is in some early games. but there doesn't need to be lag. the wiimote works extremely well if well implemented
