Why not? I won't play the game because it is too scary but it is supposedly quite good! Not to mention the news is SHOCKING.

That's a pretty big f*cking deal! Hopefully it isn't all goobered on the Wii (Deadrisingfication) because of hardware restrictions. But this was a big third party release last year on everything BUT the Wii. It's a little late but next time around we might get equal treatment.

"high quality"?

I'm confused.

Actually, if PS3 gets a 10 year cycle then Wii will get a 15 year cycle by living off PS3's ports.

Oh man I'd love for Dead Space with Wii pointer controls I loved the PS3 version of the game.

I was hoping they'd bring the franchise over, but I was also hoping for a different story line and not a rehash. Ok, its nothing confirmed other than a blip in a conference call, but I can totally see EA taking as many shortcuts as they can for th efirst release then start improving with each new one beyond. Just look at the Tiger Woods games.

So you want a spin-off? We need to get the main entries in these third party IPs if we want to get any of the sequels, even though that means getting a few late ports. If they give us a spin-off then Dead Space 2 will likely be on the 360 and PS3 but not the Wii and we'll just get a sequel to the spin-off. We need the Wii to be the target platform for the major third party games, not the afterthought that gets the spin-off shovelware handled by a different team.

Overload Wii is a prequel -- does that suffice?

Maybe Bustin98 played/has the game on 360 or ps3 and wants a spin-off because new controls aren't enough to justify it. If the setting and gameplay drew him in and he wanted more of that, but not the same exact experience, then that would be a valid reason he'd prefer a spin-off.

But he's the one who has to clarify, i'm just guessing.

Anywho, awesome news.

bustin98 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:46:45 PM »

That's exactly what I'm saying Ian. I want to see a complete story brought to the Wii. Not a 'spin-off' (Dead Space Carnival), but not a rehash of the current game where the art and geometry of the original is down-graded to fit on the Wii either. The Wii should get Dead Space 2, or Dead Space 0, whatever.

And I love the risk that's being taken with Overlord Wii. Too bad I never finished Pikmin, or even Warcraft II. Maybe I need nasty talking demons to keep me playing the genre.

EasyCure - I did play the game on the 360. Which is another reason I want to see a new Dead Space and not a port. Why do I want to play this on the Wii when I could play it on the 360? Just like Dead Rising. Are the controls enough for me to want to play it on the Wii and ignore the 360 one? Or should I get both and just ignore the shortcomings of the Wii one? Not easily done after seeing what can be done thanks to the Conduit.

Why not?

Because it's not new. Where the hell was this last year? I'm tired of publishers thinking that Wii owners are content with recycled games. I already played Dead Space on 360.

Like Chop Till You Drop, this is unexpected news, but not good news. I wouldn’t mind all the ports and remakes if publishers gave the Wii equal treatment, meaning new (good) games and ports/remakes. Since that's not true, I'll pass on the sloppy seconds.

That has pretty much been the thing this generation, staggered releases. Look at Bioshock.

Still far more prevalent on the Wii. The Wii deserves better.

Cassamassina was right. I'm intrigued. If it has COD:WaW quality visuals, I'm okay.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2009, 07:23:56 PM »

Color me surprised.

The game on the 360/PS3 received mixed reviews, even from the hardcore fans (Yahtzee pretty much tore it apart). Both official and un-official sales put it as a sleeper hit and even with the hype, coverage and even an animated movie the reception was soft. So its surprising that EA will port it over to the Wii.

I don't care if the game receives a bit of a graphical downgrade (its to be expected) but I hope the EA team uses the Wii technology to its fullest. I played the 360 demo and I thought it was slow as all hell, aiming including. From what I got from playing the demo the game is about aiming at specific places in order to take down your enemies. The sluggish controls didn't help this and, believe it or not, it took me a while to complete the demo.

If the EA team is willing to re-work the engine so it uses the Wii pointer the game would be very playable, even with low-res graphics.

Now if they port Mirror's Edge I will be very happy...

Mirror's Edge with the anime, cel shaded style of some of the cut scenes?

People shouldn't assume this is a port by any means.

I hope it is a port. The spinoff games haven't been as great on the Wii. (Soul Calibur Legends)

What is this garbage

Dead Space
The Conduit
Madworld
The Calling

Why won't video game companies take a cue from Rainbow Studios and tell you what the game is about in the title? No one can mistake what Deadly Creatures is about! Or Final Fantasy: Crystal Bearers for that matter. You just know before you buy it that it's going to be a great, and probably very hot game starring Crystal. It makes things so much simpler.

Madworld is a good name. It is one crazy game.

Everyone describes this game as Resident Evil 4 in space and Resident Evil 4 with Wii controls is one of my favorite games so I'm excited.
