The fact they didnt really give an answer kind of worries me. I think confirming clan support etc wouldnt really give too much away about the online side of the game, and is just a side issue really (albeit an important one).
I still fully believe that for this to be a hit with the hardcore gamers on wii, it needs to have a brilliant online multiplayer. By that it must have decent matchmaking and a levelling up system. If online is just an add on, then word about the game wont get out and it'll drop like a stone. Excellent interview, got high hopes for this. I'd like to see a robust unlockable/character customisation in the multiplayer. I'm betting the online will be basic, but I don't really care.
Nothing really new in this interview. He has a really solid attitude. Good interview. this actually looks okay, may pick this up which would the first wii game ive bought in awhile. This games looking fantastic. Don't really care about the multi player. As i generally can't stand the goons that you meet on online shooters.
This years shaping up to be a good one for the wii. Just hope that more companies adopt sega's attitude towards the wii. House of the dead and Madworld are definately two of the best games on the system. I can see this getting 7 or 8 out of 10. I doubt it'll come close to Metroid Prime 3 When are more developers going to make use of Wii Speak???
Animal Crossing and this don't justify the price tag! It looks good for a Wii game but compared to Gears 2 or Killzone 2 it's not going to get anyone excited.
Personality counts for a lot in these types of games. How much do we care about these characters?
Killzone 2 is a good example of a game that plays really well but has the personality of a dentist. That's where House of the Dead Overkill succeeds, it's just a riot and insanely funny to play. Even Gears has bad guys that you really want to get stuck into. Hell, even Halo 3 had a bit more personality due to the support cast.
When FPS/3rd Person Shooters are becoming as common as a Rooney tantrum, gamers should be less interested in the graphics and instead ask: 'what's there to play for here? Why should I care about this sceanrio?' Good points Petpiranha
I think this title looks really exciting, and I'd much prefer playing an FPS on my Wii compared with my 360 or PS3 if there were more decent games to choose from. Getting quite excited about this game, as I said above what I would like to see is good multiplayer customisation, intelligent map design.
Really what I I want is a solid, 4 player "beer and pizza" deathmatch- that's where the Wii can shine to me. I haven't found an FPS with local deathmatch grab me fully since Goldeneye and Perfect dark on the 64 (the look at feel of this kind of reminds me of PD actually).
Good luck to the dev team on this one, this is a massive chance to give the Wii community something meaty to congregate around. Speak for yourself I'm already really excited about this game. Fpss on the wii control wise are far better than the 360 and PS3. I love gears coz it had great characters and was a riot to play. Killzone 2 was just bog standard in every respect except graphics. This games got to be great to play as the wii doesn't have the bells and whistles that the PS3 hides behind.
Considering this game is supposed to have a meaty single player mode. I think by the end of it we'll care about the characters. A hell of a lot more than the dull as dishwater space nazis from KZ2.
There are far more wii games with buckets of charm than the competition. Games need style and a good hook to succeed on the wii. HOTD had it in spades, so does Madworld and No more Heroes anong others. and i'm hoping this will too. Dear CVG,
please can you replace your current review score method with the much superior...
'4 player "beer and pizza" deathmatch' score.
This should be applied to all FPS games and you MUST mention Goldeneye on N64 at least twice. Dear CVG,

PS - I hope this game rules too but in the gameplay department. As a PC owner I couldn't give a toss about the Wii pushing it's limited boundaries. care about the characters? i already do but only 'cause battlestar's (goodbye,sniff..until the plan) mark shepherd (romo lampkin) is the voice of agent ford.
that makes this game immediately cooler. :D
as for gameplay,by all accounts the conduit's controls bury cod:waw on the wii. if so,i'm looking at my new favourite standard for console fps'.
on a slightly downbeat note: i've heard a rumour that multiplayer has been cut back from 16 player to a lower number. the rumour alleges that the devs have been finding 16 player unworkable over nintendo wfc,we'll find out soon i guess. Don't forget Hercules is in the game, how about that for personality :lol: . I think the game has plenty to make it stand out, and it does so much for the system.
I'm not sure about that multiplayer rumour though. We know the game doesn't have local multiplayer, but as Medal of Honour had 32 players at once numbers shouldn't be an issue.
I would rather have some more interesting single play, or more multiplayer modes than a silly level-up system. You might as well be playing WOW, as skill goes out the window. |
