Former DICE CEO Describes Wii as "A Virus"
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
Can we say hypocrite much? The guy spends what looks like two full paragraphs bashing the Wii for being something that "no serious gamer plays" and that "they'll get bored of and put down quickly"... and he's currently developing a browser-based game.
Huh...
Huh...
What? You ever play pop-cap games? You seen the insanity with facebook-based games? Those games are not put down my friend, and they generate money, lots of it. He would be a hypocrite if he said he would never develop for the Wii.WhiteTigerShiro said:
So i ask you, Huh?
Actually, most consoles today are NOT toys. They are entertainment platforms. With them you have the ability to play games, watch movies, interact with friends and even, with the new facebook thing, socialize with friends.
They're all derivative man.Donnyp said:
Natal may have been inspired by the Wii's success, but such concepts have been around for yonks.

Former CEO mean NOTHING to you?
HE OWNED THE COMPANY.
I think the Wii should at least TRY to make games which are challenging and fun, whilst still family friendly, or maybe just TRY to make games which are challenging and fun.Sir John The Net Knight said:
I know that most core gamers are not Wii owners. But I just beat No More Heroes 2 and if you look at the charts, http://www.vgchartz.com/ the Wii is selling software. Oh, and "toy" means "entertainment-centric devise." I believe the term he is looking for is "novelty item."
Funny that, that's exactly how I used my Wii.
Bought it, got a few good games (Resident Evil 4, The Godfather) finished them... never used it again.

The Wii is good for group gaming more than anything else. I think the local multiplayer focus is actually a decent way to go, but it would help if more games that came out on the system were worth buying.
Me, I'm a bit of a loner, and as such the Wii library... is actually competeing with the GCN library. Which isn't all that impressive, really, but says something. I think those compete with my N64 library as well. They're just three systems I kind of own and don't acknowledge much.
So the lack of decent software backing isn't anything new for Nintendo, it's just that suddenly a system is so popular people are noticing AND caring. My PS3 has more games than all of those, and my PS2 more than it, and I've only had the 3 for about a year as opposed to the Wii 6 months after launch.
In short, this isn't anything new, it's just getting more attention than it has in the last decade.

Because then people would realise how shit the actual remote is.Snotnarok said:
I mean, when I'm at a friend's house and we use the wii for a wii game(rare since he also has an xbox and Mario Kart64) the game we play is Brawl, with a gamecube controller.
The difference being that a game is easier replaced than a console?Alex_P said:
Hence my problem with the Wii, forcing motion controls. I don't care about the limitions, I think it's a fine system for the most part but the fact they make you use the controls with no real options most of the time annoys the hell out of me. It's like the DS where they force you to use the touch screen for somethings when it'd be better if it wasn't forced into that particular game.Flour said:

That is possibly the stupidest thing I've heard.Grampy_bone said:
The Wii does EXACTLY that.
Seriously, that's all the wii has EVER done.
At least for generic space marine shooters they add a couple of weapons/enemies.
For most wii games they don't even try that hard.
