[QUOTE="Son_Of_Synyster"]I saw another thread talking about the "Scare" factor of BioShock but it's locked so I'm posting here to rant :P. Many of the posters were claiming it's not Scary in the least, which I find absurd if you're playing the game how it SHOULD be played. I'm a HUGE Horror buff in more than only games. I've played Silent Hill, Resident Evil etc. etc. and find this game far more creepy. Simply because of the immersion factor. Played in the dark quiet, sneaking around each corner of every new room, the game is amazingly creepy (To Me). Sure it has it's share of "*BOO* OMG WTFZORRZ" moments *Cough*Houdini Splicer*Cough* but what makes it so eerie are small things like the random 1950's music or the freaking laughing of the vending machine clown. The only way I can see this game NOT freaking people out is if you run and gun like an action shooter. To me though, that defeats the entire point of a game like this which is SO big on immersion. I tip my proverbial hat to everyone involved in BioShock's creation because in the end, I can see it taking MY Top Game Of All Time's slot from Resident Evil 4.BioShockOwnz
Yup, I think this game is pretty damn scary. Anyways, you an A7X fan?
Oh yeah, since like '02, give or take. Right around when "Waking The Fallen" came out. It was amazing because no-one had any idea who they were. Now they've gotten so huge which is sad since 90% of their fans are 14 year old girls who like them not for their amazing songwriting, but because they're "Hawt" *Sigh*. It happens Lol.Why do people complain about "Downgrading"? I'm 110% sure the games will sell. Also, the first post DID say the games will come from Ps3/Psp so obviously, they don't mind downgrading games TOO much. Really, if you push Wii to the edge graphically, even not in HD, it can produce beautiful games. It's all a matter of putting time into it.
I've recently begun to sense boredom lately with Wii, not because I feel it sucks, but because I'm too poor for new games. One night it hit me: "Holy crap, I own GameCube games". As much as I had the "I bought a Wii, I want WII games" mentality, I fought it and popped in a game or two. This is when it hit me: I'm more sick of developers now than before.
Graphics - In playing Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime, I was easily content with the graphics. Knowing Wii can easily 2 - 3 up those games made me sick to my stomach. I'm no graphics whore, but port or not, at least compete with early GC launch titles.
Controls - In my opinion, Wii is perfect for two things: FPS and Sports. The Wiimote BEGS for FPS's, as it does certain sports (Golf, Baseball, Tennis). My beef is this, all other games don't need the "Waggle Waggle" they're getting.
If The Godfather would have skimped the Waggle commands and perfected the Aiming, I would enjoy the game much more. All in all, as MUCH as I love to see Innovation, not EVERY game needs Wiimote action all over the place. I have NO objections to playing RPGs and the like 90% if not FULLY with a Game Cube controller.
Once both of these are perfected, I feel wii will get more of the respect it deserves. My opinion is Wii will lose out on many GOOD Third Party games simply because the developers feel the Graphics aren't "Good Enough" and the games HAVE to have "Waggle" control. This is why I'm looking forward to Harry Potter and Manhunt 2, both of which USE the Graphics to a good extent and use the Wiimote in GOOD ways without being forced and irritating.
I've said it since the beginning, Nintendo got it right, everyone else is who seems to have skewed views :P.
