Ubisoft calls Nintendo Wii "old technology"

I recently came across a magazine ad for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six : Vegas 2, at the bottom it said "Infiltrating Next Gen and PC"

It kinda sucks that Nintendo will be missing a lot of big titles like they did with the Gamecube last gen. And last gen there was no reason for it becuase the GC was in the same leauge with PS2 and Xbox. Now, not only are liscensing issues stopping good games from coming to Wii, but the hardware is so last gen, its techinologically impossible to develop games for this system correctly.

Makes me glad I sold my Wii for $530 used

It is better than playing "last-gen rehashes."

No I didn't!

I'm sure everyone in the world can last without Ubisofts 2nd rate FPS's on there systems.

Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 is terrible and glitchy!

Well, its kinda true, aside from the controller, the hardware in the Wii is old.

EDIT: Let me add, all the consoles are old tech., but the Wii is just older. If that makes any sense. lol

Didnt say they were.

But i you want to bash for being "last gen" ill play my last gen games while you play your rehashes.

Wow, Ubisoft sure is fast on this stuff. As if I didn't know that over a year ago.

And I can't stand Ubisoft. They have plenty of money to advertise all of their shovelware (Horsez, Dogz) but not enough to advertise a good game like No More Heroes? Ugh, screw you Ubisoft.

That's why it's called Kidtendo WiiHash. :lol:

The technology on the inside of the Wii-mote is nothing new outside of the video game world. It's implementation inside the controller may be something we've never seen before. Well, sort of...

This controller release in 1998 used tilt to detect movement. Not as complicated as the Wiimote but it did use motion as a control method.

They're only mad because they can't make a good serious Wii game.nintendofreak_2

When you can sell hundreds of thousands of copies of Dogz and Catz with minimal effort why even bother?

I would rephrase that too... They cannot make good games fullstop.

All consoles use "old" technology. :|Erkidu

PS3, 360 and Wii are old technology. Unless you have the newest components on your PC the moment its available, shush.AntiType

A lousy comparison.

We all know you can not update your console every year like you can with your PC. But clearly the Wii is behind the console standard in terms of hardware.

That does mean it has bad games. But its not a system a lot of gamers have much interest in, some do, but its not the dominant force in gaming from a gamers perspective.

So Ubisoft states that the Wii utilises old technology yet they cannot make a game that has good graphics for a Wii game. Did Ubisoft just deliver testament to their crappiness? They certainly did!

That is true indeed, but the Wii is one generation behind, like Ps3 and 360 will be one generation behind when DX11 with ray-tracing support is released later this year.

Calling the Wii "old technology" is an insult to old technology... >_>

The Wii-really is not that good for FPS.

Dead zones and the ability to easily point the Wii-mote out of detection make it only viable for people who are unwilling or unable to use mouse+keys(ideal) or dual analogs(functional).

And NMH is such over-rated crap and a casual game. It is all slamming hte A button until you are prompted with a big fat arrow on your screen witch way to flick your wrist (casuals dont like complicated controls) and its one giant mini game with some mildly amusing boss battles.

I have seen way to many reviews that praised NMH and totally left out all the crap they bash other gamers for. How many enemy's are there in that game? 4 or 5 types? Not that they fight different any way. Was the worst pop-up around part of the so called stylish visuals?

The sales campaign that people started is the saddest thing to happen in SW in a long long time. And it wont be out done anytime soon.

Why go out of your way when people will buy it regardless?

Theres nothing thats old in the Wii that also isnt old on the 360/PS3.

Its CPU and GPU are definitely very modern. Their focus wasnt just on processing power. There was no CPU/GPU combination at the that provided the processing power the Wii had with such low power consumption, at the time of its release.

There is nothing realistic about useing the Wii-mote IMO. And that is all that can be said about that, its an individual opinion as to weather you find it to present a certain amount of realism.

I personally find superior visuals and sound (the wii has sound that is more out of date then its visuals. Both the xbox and ps2 supported 5.1 dolby) to be vastly more immersive then anything the controller can provide.

The most important thing to me about control is that I do not have to think about it at all.

Its not raelly functional for a good FPS because it requires a dead zone. Meaning, you dont keep your cursor centered on your movement. Dead zones make for bad game-play outside of non traditional FPS like MP3.

It is a good controller, just not good for FPS like every thought it would be. You could make a wii-game that has no dead zone, but then "falling off" the screen would be a common and unforgiving error in MP matchs.

Yay for the wiihater at ubiport :lol:TanKLoveR

Becauase unless you kiss the Wii's ass and only praise it, you are a hater.

I am sure they dont hate the money they make creating half assed games for the casuals that own the system.
