RE: Can the Wii's new innovate way of playing backfire?



Ok It's about time things get cleared up about the Wii's graphics. THEY ARE
A STEP OR TWO UP FROM THE GRAHICS CARD IN THE GAMECUBE! Stating that there
was no graphical change is like saying the nvida riva TNT card is the same
as the Nvidia Geforce series.

Just because the card is not as extreme as the xbox 360 or the ps3, it is
NOT the same as the one in the gamecube. Nintendo has stated this
themselves. So far they have not given any specs on this NEW card so quit
jumping to conlusion and stating it has the same specs. Judging the Wii's
graphic capabilitys off of wii sports is like judgeing the power of Xbox 360
from the xbox-live arcade games.

I thought the point is to sacrifice graphics for the sake of new game play.
If play still use the regular controller then what is so next gen about Wii?

I am happy that Wii will open a new way of playing games however I
am also concern at the same time.

Most of the time I play games is because I am too exhausted to do
anything else. This is one of the plus for PS and Xbox where my
finger does the job. Now will I always be in mood to jump around
and move my whole arm + body for 4 ~ 5 hours at a time?

If games are too over simplified and not challenging then what
will motivate people? One of the reason we play games is because
there is a learning curve and the more we play the more we can perfect
our skills.
With our current "complex" system we can differentiate in skills
and be competitive in multi-player game. If this is not present
then people will have less incentive to play games.



I think generally people seem more concerned with how the controller
might change things (or make you tired) than the fact that it offers
more flexibilty and accuracy than before. This is the reason I'm
excited about it - extremely accurate/hardcore games like Trauma
Centre become possible for the first time on a home console.

There will be a standard controller as well... but you'll have to pay
for it of course...
