I would have waited in line for a Gamecube, but I got a Japanese one as soon as the region mod was announced, a couple weeks before the US release...Rogue Squadron 2 (US), and the Japanese Luigi's Mansion as well.

I'll bet demographics bring a lot to the table. I always hear that its immature, pre-pubescent boys screaming profanity that brings down a gaming experience on XBL. If the Wii had easy voice chat then maybe we could compare the two to see if it is a general age issue online or if most of the immature people are on XBL.

Wouldn't surprise me if the XBL population is more immature since the system is aimed squarely at the "mature" demographic which consists of a lot of kids who want to look like adults (and hence swear a lot because that makes them feel adult too).

That's part of the beauty of XBL though, you can cuss out little kids and have no remorse, since they're playing a rated M game.

The Wii line I was in was great. All us Nintendo fans were there because of love, not because it was going to be rare. We all agreed that we were being irrational and anyone could just walk in and buy it the next day. So we were relaxed and having fun. The PS3 people on the other hand were sort of stressed out.

...very ironic now that I think about it.

I think we should all agree to go wait in line together for this game just for fun. We could pick a game like Mario Kart DS and play it in line together as well since we will all (quite obviously) be in different lines.

Both the Conduit trailer and the Boom Blox trailer are on the GT main page now.

The Conduit trailer seems to hint a bit more at the story and plot but not by much.
Agent Ford sounds a bit like John McCain, I thought that was funny.

Nice to see footage of the Boom Blox space and water levels as well.

The new trailer is polished. WiiSpeak is confirmed, 16 player online.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #910 on:** March 07, 2009, 01:20:23 PM »

Well we knew those for a while but it is nice to know it is still in there.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #911 on:** March 07, 2009, 01:28:16 PM »

Re-confirmed.

Those guys in the suits don't look awful anymore! Hurray!

That really bothered me.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #913 on:** March 07, 2009, 09:43:20 PM »

Yeah, they have really polished this puppy up nice. The lighting on the giant bugs has improved, and it wasn't terrible to begin with. The only major graphical sniggle I have left is the enviroments are a little flat and barren in places. Other than that, they've really polished up the character models, the animations, and the effects.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #914 on:** March 07, 2009, 10:54:59 PM »

Yeah the enviroments was the only thing that needs work.There is 3 months till launch.So there is some time left.

Washington D.C. is pretty barren, neverminding the people and vehicles.

Normalmapping can't really help with present day architecture. That's also why FEAR's levels looked so bland while sci-fi FPSes tend to have more interesting areas (mostly because they don't have to make sense).

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #917 on:** March 08, 2009, 05:45:45 AM »

Exactly.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #919 on:** March 09, 2009, 05:41:33 PM »

So what do you think the chances are of Nintendo/somebody coming out with an actual headset for the Wii?

jakeOSX · « **Reply #920 on:** March 09, 2009, 06:16:55 PM »

they came out with that headset thingy for the DS, so it isn't too far fetched...

well except they did wii-speak, so...

Nofsinger confirmed that WiiSpeak support is still included, and described to 1UP that it took a lot of effort for High Voltage’s audio engineers to do so.

I find it interesting that their engineers had trouble getting Wii Speak to work well with it. Do you suppose that this is due to how it was designed? Is WS not made to communicate between that many people?
