From my understanding the Wii version was designed to be played by ‘more casual players’ and families.

Yeah, that kind of sucks. The only other game I want for Wii is Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

Why didn't you list that as an example of good Wii based graphics?

Yeah, it does look good. I'm actually doing an animation project using RE:UC as the main theme for it.

From what little we can see, the character looks a little generic (still early in development though), so hopefully that means character customization… (that's right, I'm plugging it into overdrive on that tidbit/suggestion/hope lol).

I agree completely, character customisation is an absolute must! Especially for multiplayer!

Wow, the game looks fantastic! I'm glad they're keeping everything with the classic style, no new updated packs and ectomobiles. I'm glad I have a 360 though, I don't like the look of the cartoony version.

Interesting concept art there… For GI subscribers they have all of those new images and concept art. One of the concept art images is a sewer staircase or whatever of Ray with the Slime Blower (basically just artwork of the poster shot of Ray)

Yeah, count me in on the character customization bandwagon. Also no one should be blaming any developer for making their Wii games simplified in graphics and gameplay.

If you have to blame anyone, blame Nintendo. They're the spearhead of the casual games “movement”.

Wanna talk about them homaging the first one a lot more than GB2, Winston has short hair and a mustache looking at the concept art and some screens.

LOL I forgot how good the graphics for that game are.

Well not really. It's the developers choice on how they want the graphics in the game. Clearly as shown in other games for Wii, the graphics CAN be good and not look simplified.

But since they're trying to make these versions the game “family friendly”, they probably didn't feel the need to overly detail the graphics like the 360/PS3/PC version. But as long as the game is fun, that's good enough for me.

Yea, the article mentioned that they had sound alikes record some of the lines for the demos. It doesn't sound exactly like Harold to me, but its probably a sound alike.

Also to note, sounded like he was saying “Johnson!” as if the recruit's last name was Johnson. Wonder if you'll get to spell out your last name phonetically if you do in fact get to create your character, so that way you can actually hear the guys calling you by your own name.

I think it might actually be “Stop Them!” since the mini marshmellows are climbing up.


possiblity.. (*winston)

*Yeah - It's a shame…Nintendo, while always being “family friendly”, at least used to put DETAIL in their games, and didn't lean on the 3rd parties so much as to say - "No sex and no brutal violence “…Which was a hassle, but at least there were some SOLID releases…

*With the advent of the ”Wii", just about EVERY GAME is “kiddie-fied”…

*And last time I checked, the adults were clamoring to play the Wii, just as much if not MORE than the “kiddies”…

*UGH. (*egon)

*Cheers.

*P.s. - I'm guessing the “DS” version will be just as silly.
