Wii Lacking FPS?

Post by **abeisgreat** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 1:30 pm

I looked for a little while last night looking for a multiplayer FPS. The only one I found was far cry and it looked crummy. Why cant they make some game like Call Of Duty 4 for wii? Its annoying. The system is built for it but they havnt made a good FPS so far.

Well, there's Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, which was pretty well-received by critics, though I haven't played it personally. There's also Metroid Prime 3. While I've never been a big fan of the series, I still really enjoyed. Granted, that's about it, which is pretty measly when compared to the 360's FPS library. But, as I'm sure Mozgus will be quick to point out, the PC kinda kicks the crap out of the 360 and all other consoles in the FPS genre.

well I think it was Metal OF Honor Hereos 2 that has the online multiplayer. But nothing on the same console. I like games with co-op

I know PC is the FPS king but I dont use the pc because I like the controls on the wii and i dont like using a mouse and keyboard or pc joystick.

Although a lot of people didn't like it I had a great time with Red Steel. I think that other people just didn't understand the game, they just don't seem to understand the approach it took. It obviously wan't perfect but I had fun. Theres also some multiplayer in there.

Didn't COD3 get a release for the Wii?

OK, so I spent about 20 minutes playing Metroid Prime 3 at a mall game store over the weekend. I have to say, I absolutely hated the controls and kept wishing I could just use a regular joypad to play the damn thing. I could not get a handle on it and kept swinging wildly around. Probably would have been better if I'd been sitting instead of standing.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just something you "get used to" and eventually pick up? Every time I've played the Wii so far I thought "This shit is just not for me." (Wii Sports and RE4 were the other games I've played.)

Yes it was.

I still dont think they have nailed the perfect control scheme for the Wiimote. Metriod 3 comes the closest.

Everyone has a bit of trouble at first, I know I did. Once you master a game like Wii Sports then its not so bad moving onto other games. Metroid Prime 3 only took me about 10 minutes to understand well.

I think since FPS developers want everything to be cutting-edge in terms of graphics, they are hesitant to port to the Wii. The demographic might not be there either, as most FPS fans probably own a PC and/or a 360 and would rather buy it on there. It comes down to which is more important: graphics or controls.

Personally I think a n FPS is better to play it on a PC and I don't care about the graphics. The freelook with a keyboard and a mouse its better than a controller. For example bioshock its way more better to play it on a PC than a 360
