Did You all Know that Silent Hill Shattered Memories for the wii is in production? Also, there’s the grudge game (Ju-On) and another game called Cursed Mountain. The three triplet games that is in the making for the wii is a must for wii players. I really want to get those!

Actually, I can explain this to you in technical terms the reason Doom3 does not look as good as Crysis at 480p is because Crysis uses a graphics engine that handles far more complex geometry for objects, mor mipmaps as well and far higher resolution bitmaps for texture mapping, and it supports HDR lighting and bump mapping ..

You are unfairly comparing “modern” games against one or two generation old predecessors. Crysis looks amazing even at lower rez compared to any game that was produced in 2003. Doom 3 and Q3:Arena are both ancient by the standards of graphics technology and the engines they run on are no where near as sophisticated.

I’d personally love to see a Wii with all those specs – but frankly the aging ATI video chip is not capable of doing the same graphics fidelity as the 360 or PS3. That’s what Nintendo chose to do.. they want to accentuate gameplay over image and that’s fine.

When this post was written Silent Hill Wii was not in existence. Please consider that this was posted in October 2007. Silent Hill Wii was just announced this year at E3 2009. The Wii version, as stated in the original article was dissed by Konami, not Filefront. Since then the market share of the Wii has forced many developers like Konami and EA to reconsider their stance and begin development on the platform. I don’t see where Steve insults the Wii, in fact he sounds disappointed when he says Konami is making a mistake for discounting the Wii audience if you read the last line.

Thanks for commenting though, I’d love to continue this discussion.

Actually we don’t censor posts, but we do moderate them for foul language.. I’ve let this one through so we can comment on it and in hopes of achieving something useful.. I’m sorry the opinion of writer was counter to yours however you might actually entertain a more productive conversation where you can make your points and Steve can respond if you approach this a bit differently.

Additionally you might notice the original posting date on this is October,2007. So its a bit old but maybe still valid from Steve’s perspective… I’m not sure.

I’d enjoy a rational discourse on this is you’re willing to write one up.

Thanks,

filefront why censer posts and why not add a post that states honest fact BECAUSE THIS SITE IS RAN MY BIASED OUT OF TOUCH HARDLY CORE IDIOTS

EXPLAIN TO ME THE VASTLY SUPERIOR GRAPHICS AND CONTROLS AND SEAMLESS LOADING OF SILENT HILL WII

if wii is only as powerful as xbox please explain the shading and dynamic lights if wii is fixed function gpu EXPLAIN FILEFRONT

why does monster hunter 3 look lush

why does metriod other m look stunning

why are wii games coming with seamless loading thru out the games

how come the grinder is already pushing 65 ememys on screen 1 year before release if not longer

wm+ 1600 degrees motion vs 300 degrees cam motion cough ps3 cough natal

wii+ could release 2010 2011

BUT IM WRONG AND FILE FRONT IS CORRECT AND ALL THERE MICROSOFT JUNKY FANBITCHES ALSO

NATAL = GIMMICK

WM+= PRECISION

NATAL= GIMMICK

IR MOUSE POINTER= CORE

NATAL = GIMMICK

WIIMOTE = RUMBLE FEED BACK/SOUND SPEAKER FEED BACK

NATAL= GIMMICK

WII= ANALOG STICK IN LEFT HAND COMBINED WITH MOTION AND POINTER OH I THINK IV JUST BITCH SLAPPED THE WHOLE FILE FRONT HARDLY CORE COMMUNITY AGAIN

NATAL = GIMMCK AND 300 DEGREES MAXIUM SENING AND LAG AND CAMERA ISSUES AND NO FEED BACK OR ANALOG STICK = CASUAL SHIT FEST

WII = WM+ REAL WORLD 1TO1 AND REAL WORLD PHYSICS AT THE POINT OF MOVEMENT THE HUMAN HAND

IR MOUSE POINTER = FPS PERFECTION

RUMBLE SPEAKER WE NED ARE FEEDBACK ANALOG STICK SO WE DONT NEED TO JOG INFRONT OF A CAMERA IN FPS GAMES NATAL THE JOKE

WIIBOY101 HAS OWNED FILEFRONT YET AGAIN

WII FSB = 243MHZ PLUS PEAK 4TO1 COMPRESSION = 7.7GB BANDWIDTH

XBOX 1 = 133MHZ NO SUCH COMPRESSION = 1GB BANDWIDTH

XBOX 1PU CATCH = 128K

HOLLYWOOD GPY CATCH = 3MB

BUT HONESTLY XBOX IS MORE POWERFUL BECAUSE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS AT FILE FRONT SAID SO

SILENT HILL WII GREAT GRAPHICS NO LOADTIMES 3D MOTION CONTROLS = NEXT GEN

NOW GO WAVE AT UR NATAL CAMERA YOU SO CALLED MICRSOFT CORE GAMERS

WII OFFERS A MOTION CONTROL THAT BLESSES FPS ETC MICROSOFT OFFER A CASUYAL AS FUK MOTION

YET NINTENDO IS CASUAL YEAH RIGHT GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR MICRSOFT FAN BITACHES

I don’t know why the wii seems to be considered “not hard core enough”, it’s not like it is made only for playing little kid games. I was hoping that they might come out with a silent hill game for the wii, I haven’t had the opportunity to play one of the games yet since I don’t have any of the systems that support them, but I like the idea of the games. Maybe somebody could recommend a good horror or thrilling sort of game for the wii? I am still researching.

@ Stevo
The Wii isn’t marketed to just kids, it’s marketed to non-gamers. Old people, girls, jocks, the like. And they still want to appeal to the gamer market.

Stevo, buy a fucking clue and get over it.

Given the way Silent Hill V looks, I say it’s a mixed blessing.
