Moving_Target wrote: Another reason developers would abandon the PS3 for the Wii, because they have more freedom and movement with the Wiimote than the PS3 controler. You would be playing twister with your arms with the PS3 controler. Also the Wiimote is similiar (im not saying exact!!!) to the mouse and keyboard. So PC developers would look into the Wii more than the PS3 and 360 if they were look 4 the bestcontrols.

Well said, but the Wii's controller is not the only reason dev's are switching to the Wii. With the way they are selling the Wii, Nintendo is empitomizing what game design should be about. The design packages they are offering out to smalltime devs are very reasonably priced in comparison to other systems, the lowest one starts at only 2000 dollars. Not only that, but they are offering support for these "indie" games making it so that everyone can dowload these via the internet connection for the Wii.

I think this awesome, after all isnt that what game designing should be about? Im tired of games that you play once before you realize that the whole game was just a sad corporate money making scheme (ie too many sequels and tv show rip offs to count....).

If you ask me Nintendos doing it ALL right
They have a solid buisness plan; an innovative product, sold at a reasonable price, with excellent support and an ecellent track record making fun games.

Off-topic : Moving_Target, I would be rather curious and interested in looking at the Game Informer© Magazine's Article you have mentioned earlier, and that's why I would wish to know whether it has been listed and made publicly available onto the web-site associated to this Entertainment Company, which can be easily consulted thanks to this URL, while wondering whether you would mind summing it up to the local Community in case this content wasn't accessible through the Web...

Thanks in advance !...

No problem Leviathan... but i'll have to get back to you on that one. I post back later with all the details! And is was pain looking for the article at their own site.

Off-topic : I have equally noticed a certain lack of Organization on Game Informer© web-site, and the least I can currently say is that the "Search" Engine embedded on it is way far from providing its different users the latest Articles having been published inside the corresponding Magazine, which does not make things really easier for us, although this Process must have been voluntarily picked up by the aimed Company in order to favour buyers of the "Paper Version", I assume...

Also, thanks for taking time so as to satisfy my above Demand, Target' !...

Anything 4 you Leviathan. Now i dont have the actual article with me, but my memory does prove to me well when it comes to this kind of info. Lucas Arts, behind doors showed a tech demo of a new technology. Dont know the name, but i do remember is that was ever you destroy it destroys in real-time or something like that. Ex. Say you blow-up a wooden plank, it would splinter. Say you do it again, the splinters would be different, look different, and act different from the first time. Same for marble, rock, steel, even a carbonit frozen Jar Jar. Lucas Arts also showed off some other things like flinging an R2 unit at a metal and how it accuratly dents the metal depending on how the droid hit the wall. Same for the lightsaber, force powers and blasters. I believe they was more, but that should satisfy your demand for now.

Target out!

No problem guys. That's weird Leviathan has not replied in 2 days! Was it something i said? Also if i can remember right i think Lucas Arts will use the Europia (i think that's it name) engine i believe in future Star War and other titles. Europia (i believe i misspelled it) is in the new Indiana Jones game where it helps/controls/ or makes coms actions always different. And since this topic is about the Wii also i shall tell all who reads what my Wii-360 Theory.

Ok, so Satoru Iwata, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Masahiro Sakurai of Sora meet with Bill Gates and a few guys from Bungie. They do some small talk about business and etc. Bill Gates then brings up how both SSB and Halo are very popular game series and how if one character is in another game fans will buy the other system and game just for the character. So Bill Gates purposes that since Snake is in SSBB how about Master Cheif and Arbitor in SSBB also. The few guys from Bungie have already made some level designs and moves for the characters for Iwata, Miyamoto, and Sakurai can look review. After reviewing all three start to like the idea. Mr. Iwata says, "Master Chief and Arbitor can be in SSBB if you get us the licening of the Rare games on the N64 and we'll split the profit 50/50 (you have to pay to download from the vitural console). Bill Gates agrees and they sign a contact or something like it. Next thing we know is Master Chief and Arbitor are in SSBB, Rare games are ready to download, and sales go up even more for Nintendo. Your thinking "but Target what does Mircosoft get for this? It sounds like Nintendo is the only winner here." It does look that way but think of this even though Xbox is strong and has a good fan base, the fan base is nothing compared to the PS. And if Nintendo loses again this round and Nintendo stops making systems and hardware, Xbox is forced to face PS head on. With Nintendo still in the game Xbox won't take as many blows as it would if it was alone. Plus combining the fan bases of Nintendo and Xbox i believe equals the PS (i could be wrong). ... i cant think of any more so that's my Wii-360 theory.

Also i heard rumors that Sega may come back and create a 4-way console war! That would be very interesting. Sega Neon is believe it maybe called. Don't worry they won't come in untill 2010.

I've always been a Nintendo Fan. Nintendo is definitly going to dominate the market with the Wii.

I have an X-Box, but only for the Halo series and some other games that didn't come out on PC or GameCube, my friend fell in love with Halo 2 and bought an X-Box 360, stupidly. He forgot the premium package so he cant play his beloved Halo 2, I feel bad for him because he basically only got it for Halo 3, when Wii is going to dominate the market. =\

Off Topic: He also took one of my very innovative Halo name "Scaramanga" and used it for himself. =(

Moving_Target · Post by **Moving_Target** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 4:50 pm

Holy smokes!!! That was worth the bump! Very very nice find -_-! This is the vid Gamer Informer was talking about in a previous article! Wow the new technology looks amazing! I think it's called Europhia or something like that. Just wow! Lucas Arts is definately going to have amazing games 4 next-gen and in 07 and beyond!

EDIT: one of the stromtroopers is using an electro-staff or something similiar. And the last stromtrooper has the worst death of all. I couldn't stop laughing. I'm bookmarking this page! Can't wait to get my hands on this game!
What's funny is that that vid was intended only 4 Hyperdrive memebers.

5/5

EDIT2: I blown away already, but if that was not a cimeamatic/scripted at all or at least the last part the stormtrooper with the worst death Im blown away even more!

EDIT3: The rain effects are amazing!

EDIT4: ONe the stromtroopers lose thier helmet. And also the last stromtrooper does sound like a mindless AI. LIke he's real.

Can't wait to what other amazing things LA has in stored 4 us!
