The Grinder goes multiplatform...

[DrDeath3191]

...God damn it.

High Voltage announced today that The Grinder, one of the Wii games I'm looking forward to most, is going to be released on the 360, PS3, and PC as well. While this will definitely lead to more profit by selling on all available platforms, I can't help but feel a bit ticked off. Especially after the whole Tournament of Legends fiasco. The game releases on Halloween 2011.

Here's a new teaser trailer, too. I've heard that it's the Wii version, but I'm not too sure. If it is... HOLY SHIT.

 

[Hiphophippo]

I don't even know what kind of game this is.

 

[Crimsane]

Eh. Trailer didn't really spark my interest. Partially aided by the fact that the game isn't out for another year and a half.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

I said it before and I'll say it again:

I question this game's ability to sell a lot. It has a chance seeing as it's on all three platforms, but if it's going to be L4D in the sticks then people might not bother on the 360.

We'll see though.

 

[Daveman]

That looks... strange. I won't lie, I was expecting "WoW released on 360" or something from the title...

Isn't you being ticked off a bit mean? If it's going to be good, why deny other gamers the enjoyment?

It just seems a bit selfish to me, but then again, so do all platform exclusive titles.

This pretty much. The only reason for single platform games would be hardware constraints. Its easy to see how a wii game would be exclusive or ps3 game because of the graphics constraints. But letting a wider audience experience a good game is always a good thing.

Anyway, the game itself looks good.

Than again, Timeshift and Haze looked good in the promos.

I know it is, but this was billed as 'Left 4 Dead for the Wii'. Plus these guys have been saying that they support the Wii, since they made the Quantam3 engine and the Conduit. Then this happens. I know that they'll sell more on 4 systems than on one, but I really was looking forward to a really nice exclusive for the Wii.

Looks awesome. I haven't heard of it before this. I'll keep my eyes peeled for info down the road.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

The first thought after watching the trailer is "it'll look a lot nicer on a 360"
Not too sure if the game is interesting to me or not. So i'll have to look out for any updates on it.

Chances are it'll be a flop though.

 

[tmujir955]

I'm hoping that they do the Wii version justice.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

If that was the Wii trailer, it's a nice looking Wii game to say the least. I might get it on the PS3 if it is multi-plat. My horror thirst is in need of quenching.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

That may be good but it isn't No More Heroes. I'll still give it a try though.
