Wii is SO much more capable than this. Gamecube is more capable than this. ****, this looks like a high-end N64 game! What the hell? After seeing Zelda and Mario Galaxy, should Ubisoft really be hiring 5 year olds to make thier games and crap on them?

I hope to *** that this is just some early demo made to show off the basic gameplay.

Hahaha, that's terrible. Might improve closer to the release, but getting it on the Wii will be such a waste anyways.

Not surpising at All. We all know that the Wii can make a pretty game but not if the devolper will not try. These War games hardly get effort put into them, anyways.

Hell was anyone even going to buy the Call of Duty 3 game?

For some reason I can't help but laugh when I see the middle guy in the top picture.

Those images make me feel ill.

What is with those hands?? They look like the people who made the Philips CDi Zelda made this game.

Gawd, it looks last gen. Don't even say it looks like N64 or CD-I.

I'm not surprised, because I wasn't expecting high-end amazing graphics from the Wii's first games, anyway.

Early last-gen maybe. High end amazing graphics is one thing but this is garbage and you know it.

I didnt say it looked like CD-i, I was just saying the hands look deformed in the sense that link was deformed in the CD-i game.

[quote=Last Fog]How are you not surprised that a next gen game looks like dog****?

Because the developer of this title doesn't have much of a track record PREHAPS?

I think people are forgetting that Infinity Ward aren't making this title!

I'll enjoy playing on these graphics, though:

I'm awesome

Wait I just realized those hands are from a black guy. This is WWII. WTF?

Nah, you're definitely not playing a nigra. Don't worry.

You never know, they did it with the outfit. Then again the outfit was entirely unrealistic and a crappy game anyhow, so it didn't matter. But if they do it here to not appear prejudice I'm gonna be mad.

Nah, won't happen.

k cool

There were black soldiers in World War 2. ;)

[quote=Vampiro]Seems to look and play pretty well on the 360. It may be a different developer, but from everything I've seen, it's still a CoD game. But they're obviously using the Wii to squeeze a bit more cash out of the game and nothing more. Since, no matter what, people will buy it. We're probably going to see a lot of this for the first year or so.

Despite the fact that Axis posted this before either of you replied:

Well waddya know?

I still find it interesting that such a half-arsed port by an unproven developer with crappy graphics and gimmicky use of the controller still becomes automatically more fun.

I'm much more inclined to trust developers with Wii games now, seems like the controller on it's own makes up for repetitive gameplay.

Because it's impossible to have fun otherwise? I don't care how fun the single-player is or how fun the controller is, it's garbage without online. Plus, this definitely isn't the type of game I want to fling my arms around in. Even the PS3 controller idea sounds retarded. But that's just me.

This post is basically a repeat of your last one and has enxt to nothing to do with what I said. The sarcastic question at the beginning? I have no idea what that's a repy to.

And you don't have to swing your arms, we've known this for a fucking year.

[quote=Vampiro] Except I was calling into question the amount of fun you can have with a gimped version of what's to be an excellent game. That was your point right, that you'll be having more fun due to the controller? I just can't see it. As for my question at the beginning, you make it sound like the other versions will be boring as hell because you can do "battle moves" or whatever they're being called.

The game's gimped and made by a developer with a crappy reputation, I've kind of been saying this since the beginning of the thread.
I'm just saying I find it interesting that the game is more fun to play with such basic use of the controller. Not that the game is a better buy or lasts longer or is more robust, just that what is actually there, as basic as it is and with such little effort from Treyarch, manages to be much more fun than the equivalent modes on PS3 and 360.

My point is just that this bodes well for FPSs on Wii, because the controller alone makes a huge difference whether the developer is trying or not. It especially bodes well for Red Steel and Far Cry Vengeance, because those dev teams are making their games worthwhile.

[quote=Vampiro]No ****. Maybe I was exaggerating? I don't want to tilt my hands in every direction in a game like CoD. Happy? Christ.

Ouch, better not play FPSs on PC then. You have to make small hand movements with that too!

[quote]And I don't because I don't like mouse control and detest the keyboard as a game pad. Neat how that works, huh?

Heard it here, folks. Analog stick > mouse control for FPSs. You're absolutely barmy.

[quote=Vampiro]Red Steel will bomb or be stomped to insignificance by Rayman.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Right, right, so whenever someone buying a Wii lists their games, and Red Steel is always the second one after Zelda, you don't think that means it'll at least sell a cool few million.

You're nuts, I'm totally quoting you on this. We'll see What happens at launch, shall we?

My mistake. Given a choice of two, Vampiro prefers the lesser choice.

I don't play alot of the same games with my friends. Perhaps youre friends will change their view on playing a genre they might not like when they try the controls. After all the one of the main points of Wii's philosohpy is getting people who might not play many games at all.

Because they have experienced them for themselves, lol.

[quote=Vampiro]Please, stop being a flipping moron. I'm sorry I can't prefer one style of control over something that's universally accepted as being the best way to control **** knows what. Good *** you're ridiculous some times.

You can have your opinion, I just happen to think it's wrong.

When pretty much every single games journalist out there says you have to actually play a Wii to understand what it's about, the "I know I won't like it when I try" arguement becomes bunk.

He's not saying controllers are better, he's saying he likes to use them more.

And I'm saying his preference for something inferior is retarded. Problem?

You're just trying to argue with him, and it looks stupid. You prefer Wii to its two competitors even though it is, by a wide margin, inferior.

What's that? It's gameplay is superior because of its controller? Hey, what do you know, that's what Vamp is saying about using controllers instead of a mouse.

Playing online: Playing competitively to climb up a ladder and prove your worth etc.

Playing with mates: Having a good laugh; just a bit of fun.

Playing online with mates: it's like they're there but they're not

So, bizarrely enough, are my friends.

Hey, I was just about to loop this thread right back for a second. Good thing I caught myself.

[quote=s0ul]You prefer Wii to its two competitors even though it is, by a wide margin, inferior.

The games are better, more interesting and cheaper. I think that, by a pretty wide margin, makes it superior. Everything 360 and PS3 have over Wii are only magnified on PC anyway.

[quote=s0ul]What's that? It's gameplay is superior because of its controller? Hey, what do you know, that's what Vamp is saying about using controllers instead of a mouse.

Apples and organges. I prefer the Wii controller because it offers greater depth of play, greater immersion, it's much more intuitive and gives people who don't usually give games a second thought the chance to stop ripping on this kicka[COLOR=lightgreen]s[/COLOR]s pasttime so much.

Thumbsticks offer nothing over keyboard/mouse for FPSs that the Wii controller won't have (which is what this conversation stemmed from).

[quote=Vampiro] These kids aren't journalists. These kids don't even like games.

Then why even bring them up in a game-related discussion?
Though, quite frankly, a kid that doesn't like to play in any sense of the word isn't a human being in my opinion.

[quote=Vampiro]That has nothing to with anything. I think I know mice are better for aiming and are far more precise. But what the **** do I care? I don't like using a mouse and keyboard. I don't care if my opinion is wrong or retarded, because it's just what I prefer.

No one "just prefers" something for the hell of it, there's usually a reason. This isn't food we're talking about, or a sexual preference, the reason you prefer a controller is easily quantifiable. I just can't help but notice that you refuse to say why. Lord knows it would've helped your arguement if you did. In my opionion you're just overly pessimistic about everything, and can't accept the notion that a change might actually be a good change, despite the mounting evidence against you.

[quote=Vampiro]As for the mouse/pad thing, I can't believe you even care this much. I prefer a pad because I can't stand the keyboard. I just hate how my hand it positioned and how it feels. I hate the combination of the keyboard with the mouse. I hate using the mouse for everything that's not an FPS, and I hate sitting in front of my computer to play a game when there's a bed and nice TV right beside me. For all of these reasons, a pad is much, much better in my eyes. Even if the sticks are "inferior" the button layout, on, say, a 360 pad is so comfortable and right that I don't care. I don't even notice that I lack some precision, and I honestly don't mind at all. Fair? Can you drop it now? Because you seem to care about my preferences a lot more than I do.

I agree with everything you just said, and that's exactly why I asked you to explain why you hate keyboard and mouse, I figured it'd be for those reasons.
But I think your assumption that the Wii controller sucks for FPSs because it's like a mouse is totally bullshit. The controller offers the functionality of a mouse, that is to say better aiming, whilst being more comfortable than a mouse and keyboard. In fact, it could even be more comfortable than regular controllers because your hands are independent, and aren't fixed to the same point, and for many games can be resting at completely independent angles. I actually intend to play with my arms crossed at the wrist on my lap, which is a much more natural resting position than gripping a pad with both hands.
