-   -   Would Lorne consider the Wii? (http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=18999)

I don't know what you think makes a games console qualify as "going", but for your first statement to be correct I assume it's that it's been commercially available at some point in the last three decades.

How is the Wii cheap hardware? its one of the most powerfull game consoles going and its worth the money.

plus it annoys me when people say that Wii games has terrible graphics
Take Mario Galaxy for example. that game out classes most Xbox games graphacally.

Whoah, whoah, whoah. No, it doesn't. It's pretty, but it's not that pretty.

I agree, just look at graphics for games like Cod6 and GoW2, much better, and hey I have a wii not an xbox360 or PS3. Hey to stop a console war I propose this, why not hold the game on a platform we all know and love, the PlayStation 1

Xavier 06-01-2010 12:51 AM

I never had a PS1... can't say I feel any love for it.
Anyway I don't really think Lorne will release anything on a Nintendo console any time soon (at least sooner then on anything else).

I had two of these suckers here, and they were fuckety pieces of work and no mistake.

Wil 06-01-2010 04:43 AM

The original PlayStation is the only games platform I've ever owned that still works (apart from my current PC), so it has that going for it.

STM 06-01-2010 07:52 AM

Same, my PS1 I have had since 2005 (5 years) and it still works, in that time I've collected around 30 PS1 games all of them still work almost perfectly! They where wise to make AO and AE for it.

I played on my Mega Drive yesterday.

STM 06-01-2010 08:44 AM

Never had a mega drive ,where they any good back in their day?

AlexFili 06-01-2010 01:48 PM

The Mega Drive was very good in it's day. Particularly Sonic 2/3.

MeechMunchie 06-02-2010 11:10 AM

Sonic & Knuckles especially.

Phylum 06-03-2010 02:32 AM

I never got into Sonic and Knuckles as much as Sonic 3. (EDIT: this in reverse, I prefer Sonic and Knuckles) I never liked Sonic 2, either, but that was mainly due to the last level of the 2nd world with the rising purple water. I played Sonic in 2 years, so I'll probably do it easily next time I try, which will be soon due to this.

Crashpunk 06-06-2010 06:24 AM

I've never liked Sega Consoles that much. i love the Mega Drive thats about it and the original Sonics are the only ones i like.
My first console was a PlayStation. I still have it along with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro games.

I hope that Lorne will not release it on the Wii as wll. It would change the whole gaming experience. I cant imagine myself having a work out just to control Abe's movements. I sometimes wish to get in character and pretend I was Abe -dont ask- but having to wiggle and swing is taking it too far. The PS3 would have really good graphics to watch the oddoworld cinematics. However I have a 360 so I would prefer if he release it on that.

  1. Not all Wii game use the Wiimote as a magic wand. Turn it on its side and combine the nunchuk and it functions as a joypad.
  2. Using the Wiimote is hardly the stuff of bodybuilding.
  3. If it came out on Wii, you wouldn't have to get it.

Crashpunk 06-14-2010 01:04 PM

ugh.. Rail shooters. Possibly the most boring genre ever.

And the main reason why the Wii is the most sold console is that familys buy it. if an Oddworld Game came out. they wouldn't have a clue what it is.

abe619 06-22-2010 07:01 AM

well since i got a wii 3 days ago...
1- rail shooters DO NOT suck.
2- wii isn't just family console, there are games that are violent as hell MK:A and the resident evil stuff
3- graphics aren't the most important thing in videogames, gameplay, story and atmosphere are the stuff which affect the atmosphere, and the wii is a seventh gen console so it kinda has graphics that are way better than ps2, xbox and gamecube....

Phylum 06-23-2010 04:38 AM

1- Yes, they do. (Clash of opinions, there is no point pursuing this)

2- We never said that the Wii was intended for families, we said the majority of its owners were families.

3- The graphics on a 7th gen console are better than that of any 6th gen console... Is that an achievement? We're talking about the Wii in relation to PS3 and X-box 360. It looses that battle.

explain exactly how wii loses to ps3 and xbox360?

Graphic wise, like he said, like you said...

nicksmith41 06-23-2010 01:17 PM

With the motion controls coming out for the other systems now, i dont see the point of putting one on the wii. Also, with the Oddworld's style of realistic graphics, it wouldnt be all that good on the wii. The Wii probably cant even handle Stranger's Wrath. And the Wii does suck because compared to whats out there for the other consoles its seriously lacking.

Ranting time: It can't even play dvds. The online support is horrible (friend codes ftl), the game catalogue is abysmal for hardcore gamers, with the exception of Metroid Prime, SSBB, and Monster hunter tri. Then there is the lack of support Nintendo gives to Third party devs, Deadspace extraction did so poorly on the Wii that Visceral games decided to make an HD PS3 port. Also Wii doesnt have HD. It was only at this year's E3 did nintendo finally redeem themselves in the eyes of their fans. The system should come with battery packs and a charger for the Wii-motes. The list goes on. Why make a game for the Wii when it will hinder your sales and vision?

abe619 06-23-2010 03:34 PM

because....
1. the motion on the wii is a built in function, on the others they are as expensive as shit.
2. it will allow more ppl to play it.
3. there should also be a pc port, the pc will always be upgradable and so less expensive than anything else.

STM 07-03-2010 02:23 AM

The wii would be such a good console if you had the option to play with a remote or a controller, also better graphics and a DVD player.

Then oddworld could be a wii series.

abe is now! 07-03-2010 02:31 AM

Never.Wii.For.Oddworld

Wil 07-07-2010 06:30 AM

Never Hold Your Wee for Oddworld.

abe619 07-07-2010 03:02 PM

but it if u install the homebrew channel it can play dvds, online stuff can be easily manipulated by hackers who have enough time to make a tool like kaliera.

Stupid-Limey 07-07-2010 03:38 PM

As long as its an Oddworld game i wouldn't really mind what console it's on

Crashpunk 07-07-2010 04:40 PM

Stupid-Limey 07-07-2010 05:55 PM

I second that
