Wow, some of you people are unbelievable and deserve to see more shovelware and mini-game fests on the Wii.
Most of you though appreciate when developers bring us more traditional, long term, classic gaming with high production values and a dedication to the traditional gamer that owns a Wii.
This is not a thread to promote violent blood spewing games, grow up, do you consider a game where you're a tarantula such a game?
Deadly Creatures is both imaginative in its presentation and dedicated in it's production values.
Do I think us traditional gamers buying these games is going to lead to more such games, yes, don't be ignorant. If Deadly Creatures moves a million copies your damn right were getting a sequel.
You don't want people on boards telling other people what to buy, I don't care, last Holiday was the WORST Holiday period for a Nintendo console owner I can ever remember. If coming on a board and urging people to buy high production value games on the Wii is going to prevent another 08 Holiday period, then I'll do it.
Do you think I care this is the umpteenth thread like this? No, lets get another dozen of these threads going. This is a Nintendo video game forum, what else are we supposed to talk about politics? Or maybe the internet is running out of room and I'm not aware of it?
At the very least look into these games, maybe you haven't even researched them to see if they are games you'd want to buy.I've listed a variety of games, one is a ninja stealth game, one is a classic arcade shooter, one a unique platformer/action adventure in the world of bugs, one a black and white beat em up with twistedhumor, and he last a zombie survival game. I'm not shoving one game and game type down anybody's throat.
Go over to IGN and read up about the game Winter, a more traditional 3rd person horror game that the developers could not find any interested publishers in because those publishers simply did not believe the audience for such a game existed on the Wii.
So put your cynism aside just this once, because the only thing that speaks to publishers are sale numbers, period.
(And I agree Dead Rising Wii looks pretty bad, but I'll reserve full judgement until review scores come out. But games like Deadly Creatures and House of the Dead have already nabbed good reviews, so I'm not urging people to but crap games here for ulterior motives.)
-Despacio-
Well said. I think the least we can do is give some of these games a try by renting them, then decide on your purchase from there. Many of these games are originals and while it may not seem interesting to you, it doesn't hurt to give them a shot and these are the titles that need the most support. I've stated many times before and I'll say it again; publisher and developer notion that such games will not do well on the Wii needs to stop but at the same time one can't blame developers and publishers for not bringing out titles for the hardcore crowd if they are correct in the sense that it'll drown in the sea of shovelware.
From what I've read and seen about the concept of Deadly Creatures and Madworld, I don't think it'd suit my taste, but I'm still going to give it a shot and rent it in the off-chance that I'll like it - as you'll never know unless you try. Reviews aren't everything and in the end, it is all on paper and the only deciding factor that counts is if it has the potential to be an enjoyable experience worth the purchase for the original and potential sequels for years to come. My games list has many excellent examples of succesful franchises that've been out arguably from the start of the gaming industry that never would've been known for what it is today if it was never given a chance to show what it is capable of through its original.
