IGN calls Wii "Last Generation"

In regards to the Wii version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed IGN said:

"Lucasarts is putting a lot of focus on the current generation Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles of this game, pouring a ton of resources into technologies that affect object physics and character behavior. These technologies are clearly processor hungry, and the Wii hardware doesn't quite have the right stuff to utilize the same elements."

"Much of what's been done on the Wii, at least in visuals and in gameplay, will be applied to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable since Krome Studios is also handling the other "last generation" versions."

So they finally admit it. :lol:

You obviously need some reading comprehension skills.

No they didn't. They just said that the PS2 version is last gen.

The article does imply that the Wii is last gen. It clearly says something along the lines" Wii version........ the other last gen versions."

Whether its true or not is upto debate.

That would probably mean the DS and PSP then. They still didn't said the Wii version is last gen.

Isn't that like a studio saying "we're building a game around graphics and physics, so we're only really making it for systems whose strengths lie in this area?". Does the 360 become "last gen" if a studio wants to make a motion-controlled game for the PS3 and Wii?

I think you've taken a quote vastly out of context, as IGN, while moronic at times, isn't stupid enough to badmouth the largest console audience it has.

The article does imply that the wii is last generation even though we all know it is current gen. Who cares what they say anyway. Current Gen is PS3/360/Wii end of story.

Xbox 360 BOARDS are most popular at IGN. But IGN is notirous with Nintendo fans mostly, because of Matt Casasassasasasasasamoocha.

Actually the XBOX 360 page is the most popular on IGN. :|JayPee89

and yet the Wii is the best selling console in the worldso the largest console audience belongs to Nintendo

its the article with quoatations from the publisher right? well they are just implying the wii is last gen because of its hardware. And btw it hardware is. it barely has anupdate from the xbox 1. the cpu is worse then the xbox 1 btw... the gpu is abou the same as the xbox 1, just has more shaders and lighting effects its capable of and teh ram is what 64mb anyways....lol wii has last gen hardware, so techically its last gen. The control tho, u can say what ever u want with those. Gimmick, next-gen, current-gem. fad, amazing..what ever, i don't like those contols on the wii, they could have been much more fluid and desgined better. ninty just wanted and needed to make money this gen.LibertySaint

Wii wouldn't be last gen due to the innovative control scheme,

sure, the graphics aren't what ps3/360 offer, but, they aren't ment to be,

it's a casual gamer's fav toy (my gf loves mine).

Oh sweet jesus are you serious not this **** again. Gamecube is last gen Wii is the next system Nintendo made, makeing it Next Gen, how come you guys find it so god damn hard to grasp this.Hockey_Slayer

Because most of the people here are fanboys.

They didnt mean it as Wii is last gen.

They said literally 'LucasArts is putting a lot of focus on the current genreation xbox 360 and PS3 consoles.'

They never flat out said the Wii is last gen -- they said the Wii version of SW: TFU is getting last gen console content.

If it's getting last-gen content,it's last-gen.

Wasn't 'Gun' ported to the 360?

So that makes 360.... last gen? :?

The only thing that it is lacking is graphics. Hell even the gamecube with Metroid Prime was stated as "Xbox 1" graphics back in the day.

When the 360 launched? Yes.

Not 1+ year after release.

So you guys really believe the Wii is current gen, from a hardware standpoint?JayPee89

how can you be "current gen from a hardware standpoint"?

do you even know what current gen means?

What I'm trying to say is, just because a console has some things from last gen it does not make it so. The Wii has Super Mario Galaxy which can never be done on last gen consoles in it's current form. Saying the Wii is last gen after SMG is just plain ignorant. The Wii is not last gen simply because it can do things last gen consoles can't in both gameplay and graphics.

THE END.

IMO...from a hardware standpoint PS3/360 are current gen but from a gameplay standpoint(motion sensing) Wii is current gen. I hope that makes since. But I thought current gen includes what time period the consoles were released. PS3/360/Wii were released this generation so they are current gen.

I think the question is, "does it look next-generation"

Hmm. Nope.

The motion controls might be cool. It's going to use the wiimote/nunchuck to control the game. The wiimote is mapped to the right hand (ala light saber) and the nunchuck is mapped to your left hand (ala force powers). If they get the controls right, this might be a decent port but it's probably going to fail horribly.

I really feel sorry for people with a Wii though... these graphics are pathetic. Why even port a game that's being developed for the Xbox 360/PS3 to the Wii - they're clearly in different leagues. I'd rather see LA build a new IP around the Wii.

THe only reason last-gen consoles can't do SMG is because of no motion-sensing controllers. Throw a wii-mote into a gamecube and you can play SMG just fine.

In the games current form, it could not be done on the Gamecube graphically. It would have to be downgraded.
