Julian E of Factor 5 (Rogue Squadron Dev) says Wii developers are lazy so far

I want F5 to port Rouge Squadron 1 to the VC shop channel so I can buy it.overfeind

I agree about the graphics and what he was talking about on that. But I strongly disagree on what he says in the rest of the article because he really doesn’t know what he’s talking about

First off he says everyone should own a ps3 and a Wii. wii60 ftw. He’s just saying that because he’s working on lair. But that really doesn’t matter

"Nintendo always had a challenge keeping third party content on their platform and keeping third parties happy." hmmm was it just me or did I see 7 UBI titles and huge support from EA and others.

"If Nintendo really manages to have a huge breakout thing and suddenly every second housewife is buying a Wii, then we're looking at a completely different scenario. But I don't know if that's going to happen." seriously this guy just needs to stop talking. Wtf is he talking about. Does he honestly think the only reason the Wii is selling is from the casual gamer? Probably around 80-90 % of people who bought the Wii are loyal "hardcore" followers. How does he think the 360 has sold so well? From housewives? Gamers know that Nintendo always produces quality first party titles that they can fall back on and always depend on. They really can say the same for Microsoft cusp they mainly rely on third party support that could jump ship at any time. But Microsoft is really smart though. The second halo succeeded they bought Bungie so no one else could. Now they have a successful franchise well forever.

"Yes. I'm so disappointed knowing exactly what the Wii can do" the Wii has been producing games on game cube dev kits for the time being. How are they supposed to show off what it really can do if they don’t even have the right devs? He seriously needs to get a reality check. In a couple of months when they finally max the Wii’s potential it will actually be really good. Games like SMG show the true potential of shader support, normal and bump mapping not to mention specular highlighting. Once devs take the time I’m positive games can come close to looking just as good as SMG if not better.

Ummm the wii60 ftw isint fact its opinion. Just like how pswii is opinion and to be honest im for pswii not wii60 since I dont like 360.

I mostly agree, but Rogue Squadron 3's on- foot missions appeared rushed or maybe the developers were lazy, so he doesn't have that much room to talk.Travo_basic
