After playing RE4 with Wii controls, RE5 will feel like total crap to play. I can't even go back to playing the GC version of RE4 since it controls like such crap.

My advice to anyone looking forward to RE5, don't play RE4 on Wii. Or else all you're going to be thinking about while playing RE5 is "I wish I could play this game with the Wii remote."

The wii controller kill that game it were to easy. But hey if your a casuals i can see why you liked it.


I would like to think that a game should be difficult because of its content and not due to interface inadequacies.

Yeah, it'll be hard. Aiming with the wiimote made the game so much faster that going back to the clunky analog aiming just sounds sucky.

It's like with the sniper rifle in the wii version: they didn't bother to upgrade it to use the pointer, so you have to use the analog stick. Ugh....that's so annoying. The difference between using a pointer and using a stick is the same as the difference between the 360's graphics and the Wii's graphics: pretty vast.

Haha, yeah, I know what you mean. I don't bother using the sniper rifle and just sharpshoot with the handgun since it's so much easier to aim without the analog stick.

Question: Do your arms get tired?

Explanation: On of the reasons why various cows/lemmings think that the Wii would be useless for shooters is that you need to keep the controller pointing at the screen to play. Hence my question.

Wiicraft

No, because I'm never holding the controller out and extended in some silly fashion. You can rest both your arms on your lap and aim by small wrist movements. Best way to go since you don't get tired AND your lap steadies your aim.

What other games have you played? If all you've played are two arguablyawesome tech demos and just read some reviews, you really are missing the "everyone" part of the Wii.

The Wii has games that are marketed to most every group imaginable. You've played the two biggest "everyone" games, but have you played Trauma Centre, Godfather, Scarface, Excite Truck, Resident Evil 4, Zelda TP, Super Paper Mario, Warioware, SSX Blur, Madden '07, or even some games that reviewed poorly like Red Steel or Spiderman 3? I've played all of them and I have to emphatically disagree with you that the Wii is just targetted to casuals and as a party system. Yes, it's great at parties, even with girls, but it also delivers a really fun and engaging single player experience. Really epic games will have to wait until developers kick into gear (Resident Evil 4 shows that games with huge,high qualityscopes are highly possible on Wii).

Mind you, as others have posted, there will be people who do not enjoy the Wii. Just look at the rest of System Wars. In my own experiences with people I know, they are the exception rather than the rule. In fact, so far, I have not personally met anyone that dislikes the Wii after having tried it out.

In short, there are games for all kinds of gamers here now and in the future. The problem for me is budgeting enough money to get them all.

Sigh, if we're just debating whether hardcore games can exist on the system, RE4 shows that great, hardcore games can run on Wii and run BETTER with motion/pointer controls... developers just need to get to it.

Manhunt 2 would have been more visceral on Wii due to literally sawing limbs and chopping heads.

Alien Syndrome brings a Diablo-esque game to consoles with a control scheme that doesn't feel archaic and clunky.

Scarface on Wii makes driving and shooting at the same time a breeze. Free aim is great, fast, and precise.

Godfather is arguably best on Wii due to enhanced melee and free aim.

Trauma Centre is a surprisingly hardcore game (due to the speed and precision required that most casuals don't have) that would not play well on standard controllers.

Known as "the Greatest SCV Rush of All Time" here's a video of world champion terran player SlayerS BoxeR beating the best zerg player with the most powerful units in the game! the SCV!

It's crazy how fanatic some fans are in korea. It's as big as a live concert for gamers... lol!

the fun starts at 3:15 left in the video.

all i can say is wow...

If thats the worlds best zerg player then I am glad I stopped playing many years ago. What a joke. Also whats so surprising about using the terran SCV? The most powerful workers have always been the terran worker which is why they were always used for early game rushing. On small maps we didnt even bother building anything, we used just rush the workers and win or at least disable the apponent to the point that the game was only a formality afterwords.

Also, the zerg player wasnt rushing at all. In fact I have no idea what the hell he was doing. They both had full map vision so its not as if he didnt see what the terran was doing & even if they didnt... getting out rushed while using zerg is simply embarrasing. The terran player had 3 marines up while the zerg had no offensive power whatsoever. Thats just pitiful for a zerg player.

They didn't have full map vision.What we're seeing isthe spectator player that allows the audience to see what both sides are doing. The Zerg player did have about8 zerglings, but they aren't good enough against marines SHIELDED by SCV's which is the whole point of the strategy. Zerglings don't eat through SCV's fast enough before the marines wear them down.

Super Paper Mario, Trauma Centre, Scarface is fun if you like GTA and don't mind gore and copious amounts of swearing, Red Steel is a fun game, I've heard that Elebits is addictive.

Wii Play is good if you need a Wiimote and you have someone else to play with.

You will notice a difference on almost any TV, but it won't be a huge difference. Play with the video settings on your PC to get an idea. Play a game 640x480, look at how awful it looks. 800x640 looks better, 1024x800 looks much better, and so on. You will notice the steepest jump going from something like 640x480 to 1024x800, but after 1024x800 the changes are much less noticeable. For example, the jump from SDTV to 720p HDTV is enormous. The jump from 720p to 1080p is much less noticeable.

If you're asking if it's worth it to shell out 3x as much money for a 1080p TV as a 720p TV, I would say no. Wait a couple of years for the price drop before getting a 1080p TV.

You are correct about seeing a difference on a computer monitor however this might not be true for a TV since you generally aren't sitting 2 feet from the screen. As the above posters have said, it all depends on the ratio between the screen size and the distance from the screen.

For example, take that same computer monitor, sit 8 feet from it, and then experiment between resolutions. I can pretty much guarantee that the huge difference between, for example,1024x768 and 1280x960 that you can notice up close will be non-existent from 8 feet away.

My take at least on the RE4 bit? Good games are enhanced by Wii controls.
As well, free aim is only elegant on PC and Wii. Try free aiming while driving in Scarface. I bet GTA is jealous.

[QUOTE="axt113"]Since none of the PS3 or 360 gamers will ever get to touch one in real life it is :Psubrosian

Do Wii owners even know what breasts are?

Women love the Wii, and its vibration drives them wild;)

The Wiimote lacks the proper ergonomics to do what you're implying - assuming you understand what you're implying, instead of just quoting something off the internet without any understand of female anatomy. That and "motor spin rumble" is not the same ashigh-speed pulsation, which something designed for that purpose would have.

My girlfriend hates the Wii, she loves the internet and things that let her watch anime in a better way. Networked media center PC connected to HDTV and sound system? She's thrilled. Guys wanting to play videogames with her and a system that showcases itself on pseudo-sports games? She's not happy. If Nintendo had the sense to have had the *real* DDR games, Final Fantasy (the cinema-driven ones), or Guitar Hero they might have had a chance of getting in her wallet, but alas, they don't and they haven't.

Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party with dance pad AND hand gestures?

Boogie?

Guitar Hero III on Wii?

Where have you been?
