Epic fail.

Seems a bit harsh...

Epic fail because they describe exactly what happened to make the PS2 so popular.

Epic are a bunch of Donkey Raping Shit Eaters.

Fair enough if they don't want to make games for it, but a bit harsh. They're only giving up free money to be honest if they don't want a separate Wii team, but fair enough.

" but I’m still waiting for that one game that makes me play it."

So, Mario Galaxy...the best rated game of all time... isnt good enough for you?
Neither is Metroid Corruption, Twlight Princess or Smash Bros...all highly rated in their genres.

Neither is the nice 3rd party games like Zack and Wiki?
And of course, perish the thought you would stoop so low as to enjoy WiiSports or MarioKart.

We are sorry the system clearly dosnt have games upto your godly standards. I mean, GearsOfWar clearly was so amazing visualy that it didnt need to be actualy interesting did it? When you got great graphics, repeatative gameplay dosnt matter in the least.

You stick with your so-forward looking playstations...that have had practicaly the same controller for 3 generations.
Some of us take a broader view of gaming, and demand a bit more then mere horsepower from that defines a generation.

Maybe harsh but I agree - it makes sense.

Gears of War had some of the freshest FPS gameplay ever, and was damn fun. Anyone who says otherwise simply hasn't played it. Before you go bitching at Epic just realise how many games their technology powers. They may not be making games for it but they've made UE Wii compatible. I totally agree with him, my Wii has barely been touched after the initial appeal wore off, there's absolutely nothing new to see on the Wii at all.

Also:

Galaxy isn't the best rated game of all time
Corruption was shit compared to MP1
Twilight Princess was OOT
Brawl is Melee with online and a few bits and bobs.

It's not hard to see why he thinks the Wii isn't going forwards.

GOW is a TPS, not an FPS. Well, perhaps an inbetweenyish...

You know what I meant

Anyway, sure Epic could create a game on the Wii in no time and rake in the money but they're not like that. They recently released a bunch of free maps for UT3. Not many developers would create new content for a game totally free of charge. What could they do on the Wii that they can't do on a PC/360/PS3? Absolutely nothing, and don't give me that "omg wii is teh perfekt for teh FPS LOLOLOLOLOL" because it isn't. It's shit for them.

Lulz at the fail.

I bet the president of Epic is a Sony Fanboy, or a Nintendo-Hater. Ive had the wii since launch(in the US) and i still play it, and its obviously more than 2 months now.

Wow, lol @ people who don't even know who Epic are.

I think the comment about people leaving the Wii after 2 months is inaccurate. I'm playing the Wii more now than I did when I got it. There will be people for all 3 consoles who simply leave them switched off due to boredom, not just Wii.

While Wii's tech is a bit backwards from PS3/360, if worked on properly, the Wii can produce some amazing games.

All of his friends with Wiis are probably the kind that like games like gta, project gothem, halo etc. Zack and Wiki's too colourful for them

some one have they head up they own ass

The control method of Wii IS perfect for FPS, it's just not been utilised by many developers for reasons that aren't fathomable. The main reason the FPS line up is so shite on the system is because only a few developers haven't been utter morons in deciding what type of games to create for the system.

His dislike for the Wii isn't aimed at graphics. What a lot of you fucking fail to realise is that basically every game on the Wii could be done on the 360/PS3. If I'm wrong, please feel free to cite the long list of games that fulfil Nintendos promises of new gameplay. Imagine how gorgeous Galaxy could have been on a console with more power. You can pretend you don't care about graphics, but you know you're only kidding yourself. Otherwise you can just go back to playing SNES games.

edit: No Mason it really isn't, it's simply not stable enough to play a game which requires total precision. The very thought of sniping with the Wiimote......It's easy to think "Oh right, pointer, yeah must be good for FPS's" but it just wouldn't work. Sure it sorta works in MP3 but that's with fat guns and huge enemies. Even then I preferred MP1/2's control schemes.

I don't think Galaxy could be done on 360/ps3. Not with the pointer gameplay anyway.

Because teh 5 year olds and grannzys dont like shootin shit! lolz.

Pointer gameplay? Oh yeah, star bits really improve the game experience

What you fucking fail to realise is the perpetual cycle.

Developer goes on about how Wii is for kiddiez/is only for casuals et etc, or in this example is a virus, when said developer, like in this case, won't even look into making said games they are interested in making, or want to make, etc etc despite massive potential audience, especially right now with people starving for stuff, the obviously more massive sales compared to the others, blah blah blah.

There's actually plenty of reason, that they're just not taking advantage of.

I've argued about bringing new things to games before, so I won't bother this time. You're comment about going back to play SNES games is utterly ridiculous too.

Not to mention how often you base everything on personal opinion and nothing else. If you're going to make sweeping remarks about games and other such things, actually base them on something else other than your own stubborn views.
