Golden eye was a big hit. It was a first person shooter with multiplayer. Ever since, companies have been remaking the "golden eye feel" where you run around shooting your friends, picking up guns, amo, and health. That revolutionary idea has evolved into Halo, which is another big hit. As we all know (or should know) FPS's are always better on a PC with a mouse. Untill the Wii came out. Now your whole arm is in the game. But there's no good FPS multiplayer for Wii. Yeah there's red steel, but there's little difference between that and goldeneye. Plus, wii has free internet but they're not using it for games! The only thing I can say to that is Nintendo is not that stupid so they must have a plan. Many people, including me, like games where you can say "i beat you because im better than you". So any type of help or aid to that process ruins the game. For instance, call of duty for Wii was pretty cool. But then i descovered it has auto aim. I stopped playing it. Why? Because if i shoot a guy from really far away i cant say "im getting better" because it was really just the auto aim that did it for me. I want a game that takes practice. Such a game can EASILY be created for the Wii. An internet multiplayer (minimum 8 players in a round) sword game. Not just any sword game, one where the sword does EXACTLY as you do in real life. Not red steel where you just swing horozontally and vertically. And of course guns should be involved in the game. We all know the wii can handle this because we all see that in Wii sports baseball the bat does EXACTLY as you do. Red Steel is the perfect idea for this game: a really good mix of swords and guns. But the game flopped. But im sure we're not the only ones who see the genius in Wii. Maybe Nintendo's plan is to first make alot of money selling pretty good/dumb games just because everybody's excited, then they will make the games that actually use the controller to its fullest.
there is only one problem to the whole sword fighting thing. when the swords inevitably collide, how will your hand stop? since it obviously wont, what will happen? i cant figure this out
Within a year or a year and a half from the system's launch you'll start to see really sharp games. But I must correct you as Goldeneye was not the first FPS game with multiplayer. There were some games on old pc's that had it I believe one version of Wolfenstein I played had it and that was probably 92ish. I believe Goldeneye was just the first big mainstream console game to have a sucessful multiplayer. Developers will start to test the limits of the Wii soon. Graphics will improve and the controls will get tighter. The Wii has the biggest potential for 3rd party support since its innovative and is selling like crazy.
