And you tought that Dead Rising Wii was a bad idea...

[Isildur´s Heir]

EA just announced Dead Space.

This just makes me feel sad inside....

 

[Tron Bonne]

I never really though Dead Rising Wii was that bad of an idea...and I don't think Dead Space Wii is either as long as they keep the same gameplay. Obviously the graphics will take a hit, but that's not the most important thing.

It could be good

 

[Soapy]

Unfortunate, but not unexpected.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

This is an outrage!!!

Hey nintendo!!! Stop being cheap!!!

It's good to see Nintendo trying to get REAL games for the Wii, instead of those absolute tripe party game things. But seriously, how will they manage to do this? People talk about graphics as though they aren't important, well, of course they are! Dead Space is a very atmospheric game, very visceral, the graphics help this. They add a layer of realness and believability to the game. I just don't think the Wii would be able to do that.

You can have atmosphere in a game without having powerhouse graphics. We had those kinds of games on the PS1/PS2 and they worked just fine without having PS3/360 level graphics. This can work, too

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea but not with a game like Dead Space IMO. I just wouldn't feel as immersed in it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, think of it this way. If Dead Space had been made with the exact same way, same gameplay, same use of sound and score, same monster designs, same general atmosphere, but it was made on the PS2/GCN/Xbox with that eras graphics; would it really make that big of a difference on the game itself?

I personally don't think so

 

[Ace of Knaves]

It wouldn't of been made on the older consoles, well, it wasn't. I even look back at the old Resi games now and think "How the hell did this creep me out?". It's all a matter of opinion but for me, when it comes to these sorta games they should stay on the proper gaming systems. Imagen Fallout 3 on the Wii? That would be absolute garbage.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well I was never creeped out by the older RE's anyway, but I was the Silent Hill games and even now playing the older ones, once you get past the horrid camera and ****** controls, they still have effectively creepy.

My analogy still applies though. DS can still be a great game without the flash and bang of PS3/360 level graphics.

I disagree, S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow Of Chernobyl by far has more atmosphere and "realness" to it. It isn't the graphics, because Dead Space has better with better EA production values, it's the lack of trying to emulate a Hollywood movie like so many other horror games as well as a lack of obvious level design and structure which takes away realness. Graphics matter but there are other factors.

The world according to kez: Your console game < My PC game.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I have it for the pc.
TBH, I don't think it will be downgraded too horribly, it really doesn't seem to be that a demanding game in comparison to something like, Bioshock or Fallout 3, constant 60+fps with every maxed out at 1280X1024 the lower resolution should take pressure off the game also. Probably could have put a downgraded version on ps2 if they wanted to.

 

[The Bruce]

You can't compare Dead Rising and Dead space. Dead Space doesn't have anything integral to it's gameplay that wouldn't work on the Wii. Dead Space could with the right team end up being better on Wii.

 

[Soapy]

I would understand if you said it could be just as good on the Wii, but how exactly would it be better?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Why, waggle, waggle, of course, of course

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Why, waggle, waggle, of course, of course

Haha, i dont know why i found that funny.

Good for the Wii, i mean the game will look like trash, but im sure itll work fine on that system.

It will be an on-the-rails shooter apprently.

 

[KALEL114]

It looks like EA took the easy way out.

It looks like EA took the easy way out.

I think the easy way out would be a lazy inferior port.
It sounds like it will be a different game built around the wii.

 

[Tron Bonne]

A on-rail shooter, eh? Well...we'll see I guess :/

 

[StrainedEyes]

It looks like EA took the easy way out.

It's a brand new story, and the On-Rails allows the game to look really good for the Wii. It looks like it can be a really great game.

 

[StrainedEyes]

One of the best parts about Dead Space was the awesome environment and mood. I didn't think that would translate well to the wii, but it looks gorgeous.

Compared to -

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Slightly lower res textures but other than that, looks really good.

I guess my point is that when a dev. puts time in a game (i.e. Capcom and RE4) it works really well on the Wii. It just seems, to me, like EA took a short cut here.

I guess it really comes down to a matter of opinion. For me a good 3rd person game > a great on-rails shooter.
