Cows and Lemmings agree with me on the fact that if the wii beats the PS3/X360 that video gamming as we know it will cese to exist...Havent we learned anything from things like Hip Hop as soon as it went commercial it has been dieing ever since.. hence as if the Wii does win this Generation we will no longer see Gears of War or Resistance or call of Duty or FF or Fable... Instead we will have garbage games like Wii sports and cooking games shoved down our throats and all of us (Hardcore gamers) will be forced to Play PC games like Crysis ( not that i wouldnt play crysis anyway) but PC will be the only legitimate Hardcore gamming..... Wii will kill Console Vidoe gaming as we know it... COWs LEMMINGS show me some support on this thread and let you voice be heard

It's funny how people become paranoid over a game console.

If the wii wins, we'll still get out hardcore games. Also, the wii is getting and already has some hard core games like Zelda TP, Metroid 3, Soul Calibur Legends, Project Rygar, No More Heroes.....and sooo forth. Also an FPS on the wii would be phenominal...the wii is capableof graphics not seen on last gen hardware..so an FPS that pushes the wii's graphical capabilities with the mouse-like (hermits)precision of the wii remote as your fire arm...well that would be damn fun.

I almost sort-of see what you are trying to say.(?) The wii's popularity of families and children will pull some of the market away from deeper, mature games. Because any time someone tries to put a violent game on the wii, government officials try to sue them saying it is too violent to cut someone's head off with a wii remote.(see Manhunt)

Hmm, lets say that no one makes hardcore games anymore because of the Wii. There would then be a people whos gaming needs are not satisfied, while the casual gaming market would be saturated. This would make the hardcore gaming market an untapped market that developers will pounce on becuase thats where the easy money would be. The thought that hardcore games would die is rediculious.

im saying that the wii donminating the market with casuals and non gamers will be like Cancerous Plague on Video gaming as we know it btw im wrong by saying that it is fact it is speculation but its valid speculation....i had a 360 at one point and ill prolly get a elite if microsoft doesnt do something fast they will lose and sony needs a miricale to beat both i presume you ppl can understand that ( putting your Fanboyism asside) Vidoe gaming as we know it is at risk and im not afraid to say it out load.

Yeah, but not that funny when the console hasn't changed at all and people are lining to buy one.

The wii wont kill of hardcore games any less than the gameboy did. The DS still has hardcore games out there even if it does have a lot of casual or minigame games. It annoys me when all you fanboys qq about the wii as the death of hardcore, because i guarantee you if nintendo abandons hardcore gamers completly... well its screwed

Zelda isn't multiplat either, and Godfather. Not sure about.

If people keep buying hardcore games, hardcore games will keep getting made... in fact this might help you philistine "hardcore" gamers in a way you don't expect.

Market research may show that a casual game sells well for low cost, and the only hardcore games that make the budget justifiable is a game that is really well made and gets everyone to buy it. We may end up having developers bending over backwords to make a game that's leaps and bounds beyond the standard level of quality because they're scared of poor sales.

Bringing in the casuals may have dumbed down gaming. This happened to hip-hop/rap when before it grew popular and commercialized, to jazz, to European furniture. Whenever casuals jump in, the pool gets diluted and loses something.

Well movies went commercial also alot more. and hey they have actually improved. with big hits like 300. great movies like million dollar baby, the departed, pirates of the carrabean.
Also the wii has Zelda, superpapermario, metroid, smash, disaster,project hammer, fire emblem, mario galaxy, battallion wars 2 as all 1st party games for the wii. non are casual and non gamer trash.
No more heroes, project rygar, DQ swords, soul Caliber legends, manhunt 2, project 0, sadness, Nights, etc are all games intended for hardcore gamers. how about you know something about the wii games before u post.
