About Me

edit

Hello there, I'm Bloodborne, a 21-year-old college student from the good ol' US of A. I've been gaming since I was in elementary school, mainly on the NES and GameBoy, and then on the PC when my family got a new computer and I discovered the game Half-Life. The rest they say, is history. There is still a piece of me that loves Nintendo, though.

I swear that I will only post quality content here, so don't be afraid to add me to your friends list!

Okami proves that third party devs still don't get the Wii
Bloodborne \| 12:16 PM on 10.18.2007	11 comments

The clogs have been asplode with news of Okami on Wii, most of which is glowing and excited. Certainly, Okami was one of the most shining examples of Good Game Design� from the last generation of games. But I see this as yet another discouraging development in third-party adoption of the Wii by developers. Does anyone else find that it disheartening that the most exciting news we�ve had in a long time for the Wii from a third-party is yet another quick last gen cash-in with tacked on Wiimote controls? Perhaps we�ll just have to wait until WiiWare for people other than Nintendo to really start taking advantage of the system. I know the third parties can adapt - just look at what they�ve done on the DS.

What do you think? Is this just a phase or will things like Resident Evil 4 and Okami continue to dominate the releases from third party developers?

I dont care if its a port as long as the port brings something to the table. If the controls are tacked on then as long as they dont make the game WORSE im fine with them.

Also my ps2 died while i was playing okami and i have not got another one

Zarathustra

It's better than this

Mr Kryptonite

This is a trend that will last untill Nintendo retire the Wii in 22 years. But as long as they are good ports that aren't farts in the wind, then I'm down with it. But really don't expect any thing different from the developers

Danger Shark

Hey, this isn't a meaningless post about Okami that was already on the main page, what gives? This is... relevant... how about that.

XeroxMe

And you know the controls are just "tacked on" how? Wait for the game before you make judgement.

Bloodborne

How can it be anything but tacked on? The game was perfect on the PS2 (I have played it) and I fail to see how adding the Wiimote to draw brush strokes make it the most newsworthy development on the Wii in the past several weeks.

ShawnKelfonne

Plus, Okami is one of those games that more people need to play.

Bloodborne

I agree, but does Okami coming to the Wii mean a higher visibility for the game? Hard to say, but I would tend to think that the type of people who would play Okami already have years ago, since the large amount of casual gamers who bought the Wii for its quirky sports game pack-in will probably be turned off by it "hardcoreness."

JonDarkwood

Well I would love a Phoenix Wright on the Wii, and probably more than I would love Okami.

CreamyGoodness7

As a huge Okami fanboy I'm more than glad this is coming to the Wii not because I'm pumped to play it but because every starved hardcore gamer with a Wii will pay attention to the game and that's hard fucking core.
