Quote ="Saint Ryan"Yeah, I'm not trying to cause an argument, it's a discussion board and this is a discussion
ATEOD, my point I'm trying to get across is that the code between an Xbox and a PS3 is minimal.'"
Actually, it would take a dev team about 5 months to port a game from one to the other. That's not minimal!
Quote Even better they should release it on the PC, PCs are the original online gaming community. '"
This I agree with, the one problem with PCs is everyone's setup is different, different combinations of motherboard, CPU, Graphics Card, Operating System, which makes making a game that can run and adjust itself according to the efficiency of the PC playing it incredibly tricky, and demonstrates the single major advantage consoles have over the PC gaming market.
Quote PS3 is also a free internet too, Xbox makes you pay for some reason.
I play my PS3 on a 19" LG, about 2/3 years old. Doesn't bother me about pixels on the TV, but I can see a difference between the two.'"
I would expect that 19" LG is running at either 1080i or 720p... IF it has HDMI input, which would make the difference between PS3 and Wii for you personally not very much (providing you've got the Wii Component cable).
Quote But again the main point is, I don't want it on just one console.'"
Oh, no, neither do I. I want it released on every system available including Gamepark and Dreamcast. Unfortunately that's expecting a little too much from our friendly NZ game company.
Quote The two Xbox and PS3 are for the older/teenage market, the Wii is a family console. They should have thought about who buys more sports games. Fifa/Pro Evo, Rugby, Madden, Cricket, Golf, all these games are heavily marketed on the PS3 and Xbox, why? Because they are for the older youths, rather than the younger children.'"
Not quite true, I've recently acquired Madden for the Wii... Graphics are fantastic, and the Wii's unique control system suits it down to the ground. The PS3 version would have to be REALLY outstanding to beat it. Plus, Manhunt 2? Resident Evil 4? Madworld? House of The Dead Overkill? I wouldn't let my kids play them...
Quote Ask anyone who has a Wii, why did you buy it? I will put money on it that most will have bought them for children under the age of 10.'"
I'm 30. I got it for me. And I traded in my prides and joys (2 Sega Saturns, 2 Sony Playstations, 2 Nintendo 64s, a fully boxed SNES, Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo Gamecube) to pay for it.
Quote With the controller, we only got ours before xmas for the Wii Fit and hadn't seen the controllers
'"
The controllers are good, essential for Virtual Console games, but also very useful for Mario Kart Wii.
At the end of the day, I'm glad it's coming out on Wii because it will give the most people the chance to own it, I'll be able to own and play it, the only reason I might not buy it is if it turns out to be crap.
