[QUOTE="darthogre"][QUOTE="Zhengi"] Wait, you said new IPs. What new IPs are big time IPs before they come out? You can't make that assumption. That's why you have people hyping games like Lair, Haze, and Too Human. Those were viewed as big time new IPs, but they freaking flopped. And so now Mad World can't be considered a big time IP because you said so? So saying that the Wii has Mad World isn't an argument now? In fact, there are other ones coming out like The Conduit that can be big time IPs. And I mentioned Rune Factory and Little King's Story because those are new IPs that I like. I'll take them over Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, and Bioshock cause those are just not my type of games. Zhengi
A game can have big hype based off previews from professional media outlets. Your Rune Factory and Little King Story hype'o meter rating is basically zero. I'm not saying every 3rd party game that comes out on X360/PS3 is big compared to the Wii but all these big titles have been released throughout the past 2 years while the Wii sees almost nothing: Saint's Row (1&2), Fracture, Mercenaries 2, Pure, Silent Hill, Soul Calibur 4, UT3, Bourne Conspiracy, Ninja Gaiden (1&2), Army of Two, Condemned 2, Rainbow Six Vegas (1&2), Dark Sector, Lost Planet, Assassins Creed, Orange Box, COD series, Stranglehold, Darkness, TC Advanced Warfigher 2, F.E.A.R (1&2), Elder Scrolls, Splinter Cell, and I can go on and on but you get the point. When you look at the Wii's 3rd party support don't you ever wonder why exactly? I keep hearing the same thing over the past two years....it must be because they bet on the wrong horse but NOW they are going to put the titles on the winning console, the Wii. When is that prophecy going to come true? They are never going to have a bigger lead (at least with the PS3) than they do now, yet the 3rd party devs continue to put the bigger IP's on X360 and PS3. Maybe what this dev is saying is actually true? So only hype can create a big game? How does that work? I don't care about hype. All I care about is a good game. A game like Rune Factory Frontier is a good game. Why do I need to hype it in order for it to be a good game?
Why are you including sequels along with your new IPs in that list? Are you talking about sequels or new IPs? Why do you keep changing the subject? And you listed quite a few of them that aren't even considered big time new IPs. Fracture? Really? Army of Two?
You know what I think? I look at the horizon for the 360 and PS3, and I don't see as many of those new IPs that you claim that it has. 3rd party games with new IPs are starting to become an extinct being on those two consoles. In the PS2's lifetime, there were constantly new games coming out and these consoles aren't seeing it. If those two consoles are so great, then why haven't 3rd parties filled out the entire year line up with new IPs? They haven't because they've been closing so many devs because of the costs associated with the HD consoles. Now I'm not certain if they'll ever start taking the Wii seriously, and frankly, I don't care because ultimately, they're the ones losing money and not me.
However, games of better quality like Mad World, The Conduit, Rune Factory, LKS, and others are starting to come to the Wii. Most developers such as EA have stated that they are starting to concentrate more of their efforts on the Wii. Even Activision Blizzard has said as much. You can continue to ignore what they say and pretend that no one is making games for the Wii, but the change is already happening. This is not a prediction. This is what is happening and you would notice too if you would just drop your bias and look at what is happening. So we'll see if they keep their words or if they'll continue to lose money. At the moment, I'm betting on the latter just because fanboys like Peter Wanat are still around.
