The specialized Treyarch team is also "doing a lot of control work and developing a lot of special technology" to create a well designed set of Wii specific controls, which will include support for the Wii Zapper. And just as with the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game, the Wii version will feature an extensive online multiplayer mode.
Even though the Wii doesn't feature the same computing power as its competitors, Treyarch is pushing the system to its limits to match the other versions of the title. In some instances where the Wii version experience requires a different approach, Treyarch assures that they are looking for solutions without sacrificing the experience for players on the Wii.
Good I'm happy they are trying to make something worthwhile.
The problem is I am SO OVER World War II games and even if they do make the best shooter on Wii it will be hard to overcome that aspect.
a special internal team of Wii experts have been assigned to the title and "live, eat and breathe Wii."
That's hot
Right now it's a rental for me if I have extra time.
Other wars happened. Civil War might work really well under the right developer, (have to compensate for slow muskets and impatient gamers)
War of Texas Independence might be fun too.
Vietnam doesn't interest me nor does Gulf War

lol, I was telling Kairon before I posted the story that someone would instantly pick up on that quote. Though, I thought that it would've been Pro666 to pick up on it first.
Wow, that's not political at all...
How about a FPS where you play as an oppressed Vietnamese freedom fighter circa 1970? that would be politically correct, right?
Or do something weird like Turok. The first Turok, that is. Not the latest stupid generic space marine re-envisioning.
We need a Bow-and-arrow FPS then. It'd be awesome. That opens up the medieval ages, or hunting cultures. Maybe even... a game about a feudal Samurai who specializes in the Bow?Or do something weird like Turok. The first Turok, that is. Not the latest stupid generic space marine re-envisioning.
Turok. In spaaaaaaaaaace.... &P

Back on GameCube, Ubisoft had a special team dedicated to produce all the Tom Clancy games.
I'm very happy that I've only ever played one WWII game and because of that I'm not tired of them, because this one is sounding good.

There are morality problems with those wars though. Pretty much everyone can agree about the Nazis being dickheads. On the opposite side however, the American Civil War was always morally skewed from both sides anyway, with one wishing to legally secede and the other suppressing that for many reasons (some justifiably right if true). Vietnam was a poor attempt to cash in on the Communist boogeyman "threat" by killing lots of civilians. The Gulf War was ripe with the same backroom deals and scheming bureaucrats as any modern conflict. And only a bunch of redneck Texans would ever think of the Texas Revolution as patriotic. Stealing already stolen land through even more bloodshed doesn't exactly make for heroes.
Maybe if war games were truly realistic, people would stop signing their lives away at recruitment offices. I'd be all for that. Wake up all the little kiddies that think war is just a game with free college packed in.
That was a moral truth, not a political opinion. I realize however that people, Americans especially, tend to dislike hearing the truth. Perhaps I simply fail to comprehend just how one keeps political discussion out of a thread concerning war "games". It's your forum though, so whatever...

LOL. Aren't you quite the arrogant person. Tell me just how many American's have you met? Have you met me? I'm quite American and believe I've heard the truth as well. I meet many people a day that believe they've heard the truth too. How ignorant of you to say something like that. haha

GoldenPhoenix: Consider yourself lucky that this was all stopped.
Then sensationalized PG-13ish Hollywood heroics of the WWII shooters makes me sick like Ian hearing about the latest Friend Code game. "Cinematics" have destroyed the personal atmosphere of cold dread and anxiety that should accompany the "soldier" "experience", particularly in the World Wars.
I guess the sense of danger and struggle and the value of teammate characters just doesn't belong in video gaming. The market does not care about these things.
Whether using this subject matter for escapist fantasy is unethical is a separate issue that Jonny has already brought up last year.Ah, something for me to hunt down.

Current WWII Shooters Are Unethical (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=22237.0)
The linked discussion is somehow not political to some degree? o_O
I'm also sick of the gritty dingy stylized off-realism in annual HD war gaming (ie. 300). Whatever happened to good ol' cold photo-realism?

I think it isn't. It's mostly about ethics and morals concerning the portrayal of WWII games.
Your army recruitment post is a bit of a slam against the political tool that is the military. Eep! Shouldn't be talking more about it.

Me thinks that this "no political discussion" rule, while just enough, is vaguely implemented and narrowly enforced.

The army recruitment post was not a "slam" against anything, per say. Even if it were, it would have been directed at the delusional masses that think war is something that it is not because they've played a few videogames and read the junk mail sent out to them by the government. In discussing anything related to war, the discussion will be political in nature. War is, in and of itself, a strictly political beast--until we get back to talking about clans of cavemen fighting over a fallen mammoth carcass to eat and survive, that is. In discussing the dilemma of appeasing veterans by not trivializing their efforts while appealing to the masses with an entertainment product, you are essentially speaking more of politics than you are morals or ethics. Me thinks that this "no political discussion" rule, while just enough, is vaguely implemented and narrowly enforced. ;)

Mustache mini-games?
Regardless of whether your have a good reason to or not, you do yell at people a lot. That's all I'm saying. :3
You see? Now you're yelling at me and making fun of my avatar for no reason.
Actually, I think even with the caveman example there are some politics involved. There has to be some sort of government if they formed clans! :p
Actually, I don't see why everyone's tired of World War II. I mean, you'd think people would be tired of bald space marines by now but nooo, they just keep pumping them out.
But since Infinity Ward did CODIV, you think that these two teams (TreyArch and IW) are leapfrogging with the games? One does one year then the other does the next year? Aren't there rumors that a call of duty will be going into SPACE in fact? Then people can get their Bald Space marines and their World War II games from a single franchise!
I seriously doubt Call of Duty: World at War is going to influence anyone's world view, the video game by it's very nature is escapist fantasy.
Actually, I don't see why everyone's tired of World War II. I mean, you'd think people would be tired of bald space marines by now but nooo, they just keep pumping them out.At least fictional scenarios don't have any real battles that developers feel they MUST include into every game (well, except for Star Wars...).
Maybe they just like baldness? Think of the bald! Maybe they like saving all that money on shampoo.
It doesn't hurt that a bald head is a lot easier to render than flowing locks, either.
Solid Snake goes against the trend.
