[QUOTE="osan0"]the question mark over the wii on the big area front is its lack of a HDD. neither halo1 nor 2 would have been possible on the xbox1 if it didnt have a HDD. it was used extensively to quickly load in the level data. each level wasnt that big but it felt much bigger because loading was practically non existent (just a little pause). whether the wiis disc drive is sufficent to do the same thing is debateable at best (personal;y i think it cant....HDDs are just so much faster) as for the other stuff...the vehicles and such like.....time and money really. halo2 had the budget of a country for its development and had a team much much bigger than that of the conduits. the tech for halo was also developed over a very long period...long before MS bought bungie. HVS decided to focus on getting the controls spot on and getting the technology in order which i think was a good decision. had they decided to try and make a halo type FPS...i think they would have been spread too thin. they already have a game thats better looking than halo1 and at least gives halo2 a run for its money. not bad for a relatively small developer. if the conduit is a big success then who knows....maybe HVS can get more people on board and start building on what they have done in the conduit. a third person shooter would also be ace. i miss the wiimote when im playing games like gears and uncharted...it would be so nice to have in games like those. This pretty much answers my question. Good points..
Honestly? Yeah the argument can be made that we police the world too much but seriously.. Whenever theres a country that is getting invaded or mass murdered. You can bet your ass America will be there for help. I dont like it, I wish we didn't help countries so much with our money and our troops' lives but we do. Even non-militaryily, there are so many charities and associations based in America that help the world.
Bush was a bad president, i'll give you that. But our troops are our brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers, not just some mindless clone army out to police the world. They just want to help and give people all over the world rights they deserve and will die to do it. IMO America is the best country in the world and people need to stop being so hateful towards it...
Oh my bad. No. Its sucks but WM+ will only work with games its programmed for. We just need to accept we got ripped off and wait for the new one. I have a feeling sword fighting will be more fun than boxing anyways. There might be a third party boxing game that uses it some day...but yeah
Wii Sports just gave us a taste of motion controls. Boxing and others didn't work that well and felt pretty broken. The new Wii Sports looks fantastic and will give us the experience that we wanted from the first one with WM+. Nintendo needs to start packing Wiis with them because the standard wiimote is a joke compared to it.
I think The Conduit and Red Steel 2 are both AAA FPS. It's not hard to make a AAA FPS on Wii, the problem is developers aren't guarenteed lots of money if they put it on the Wii. There's not a huge FPS audience like there is on the PS3 and 360, so it's a bit risky. That's why everyone is saying we need to buy the Conduit. Because if we don't, it might scare other developers off.

So far what i've seen from Red Steel looks pretty fun but not really engaging. Like it doesn't matter how you swing your sword at characters..they get hurt. Swing it harder, they get more damage. The real promise is gonan be in the 1v1 sword fights which i hope are tough and fun
HVS has heart but we need skilled developers to Give us something Wii Specific and gameplay mechanics that would be impossible on other consoles....theres potential, someone please tap it. I feel like a great Third person shooter could happen too...

hmm well the conduit is only missing vehicles and i always hated vehicle sections in fps' there's also red steel 2 for your "impossible on other consoles" and the grinder popping their heads up soon of the 3, at least 1 of them should get AAA from most unbiassed sites (hint hint) and id be really surprised if conduit didnt get AAA from at least ign a 3rd person shooter is what we really need though more than anything Yes, a good cover based tactical 3rd person shooter would be great on Wii..That one game with that Blue shirtless guy (cant think of the name) is being ported but we need an original IP
yeah i haven't seen many uploaded lately so it seems they are backing off from it. Shame. They could have done it right by adding Live to games like Halo..but oh well, gonna have to hunt down a used copy
Forget about pushing the system to the limits graphics-wise. Make it OK graphics with smooth controls and large enviorments. Come on if Halo could be done on the original Xbox, why not something similar to the Wii. It seems like blasphemy to suggest a game with large enviorments and vehicles should be done on the Wii, but Halo 2 did it great not to mention countless other shooters last gen. HVS has heart but we need skilled developers to Give us something Wii Specific and gameplay mechanics that would be impossible on other consoles....theres potential, someone please tap it.
