Inderdaad, ik lijk wel een fanboy.

Maar oneerlijk is het wel. Metroid heeft weliswaar een redelijke fanbase die het aan zijn spreekwoordelijke reet zal roesten wat een site als GS van de game vindt, het feit blijft dat een artikel waarin zo'n onterecht negatieve toon wordt aangeslagen (die zelfs een 8,5 niet lijkt te rechtvaardigen) een slechte invloed heeft op de verkopen buiten die groep. En Nintendo moet natuurlijk wel steeds worden aangespoord games te blijven maken die ook vooral de "core gamers" aanspreken.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
What A Piece of Crap

This Review's Trust Rating: 1 37

August 29, 2007 - When I opened the game case I could instantely tell it would suck bum. The disc smelled like a pile of cow poo and the instruction manual was made out of toilet paper. I popped the poopy game into my wii and to my surprise my nunchuck started to rumble and it turned into a steaming pile of lard. I selected the single player adventure and what happened was a metroid appeared on the screen and it said "Shoot ME!!!" so i shot it.
The it said Thanks for Playing!
See you soon!
And the credits came up and Reggie Fils-aime mooned me!

Hands-on Medal of Honor Heroes 2
EA Canada proves that Retro Studios isn't the only company that can nail Wii controls for a first-person game. Do not ignore this project. First impressions and new media inside.

quote:

did we think that a third party could make a game that would rival Corruption's innovative utilization of the Wii remote? We said sure, yes, absolutely, it was bound to happen eventually, but we honestly figured such a feat would be several months off, if not years. So imagine our surprise when we got our hands on Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for Wii this week and discovered very quickly that EA Canada seems to have nailed the control scheme. Indeed, if our brief, but revealing play test with a few key portions of the war-time shooter was any indication, Heroes 2 may prove to be more powerful proof that Wii is the ideal console for fast and furious first-person experiences. What the demo also proves beyond any doubt is that the Wii rendition is absolutely not a quick and dirty PSP port and we hope all of our readers will take notice now because, frankly, this surprisingly adept undertaking is set to blow a hole through both Call of Duty and Vanguard before it.

quote:

As lead producer Matt Tomporowski demoes the Wii version of the shooter for us, he speaks to this, explaining that team members have periodically checked the message boards through the title's development cycle and are always disheartened when posters assert that Heroes 2 will be dumbed down mechanically or graphically on Wii. Sure, he adds, the two versions are bound to share some commonalities, like enemy artificial intelligence, for instance (which he notes is very smart), but Heroes 2 on Wii is brought to life via a new game engine, vastly improved graphics, completely overhauled controls and even a few exclusive play modes. Tomporowski further elaborates that EA Canada took a look at its competitors, from Call of Duty 3 to Vanguard, learned from them, and then set out to create a first-person shooter that would fully capitalize on Wii's strengths.

quote:

Tomporowski was eager to demonstrate to us how the game has been designed to very intuitively work with the Zapper. To that end, he gunned through a series of soldiers and finally made it to a sniper point - a barricade with a convenient viewpoint of an enemy retreat below and with just enough sliver space for us to aim the barrel of our rifle forward. To control the sniper rifle, you simply point the Zapper at the spot you want to shoot on-screen. Meanwhile, you can scope in and out very easily by pressing the analog stick forward or backward respectively on the nunchuk. The aiming mechanic takes some getting used to because it's very loose - it actually drags a bit -- but it's also relatively immersive.

quote:

In Campaign Mode, you have full freedom of your character and can run in any direction, look in any direction, and shoot at anything or anyone you can see. Think Call of Duty 3 except with significantly improved graphics and controls and you'll have some idea of what to expect.

quote:

To start, EA Canada enables you the ability to fully customize your control setup. Sure, you can set your maximum up and down look, but you can also feather your horizontal and vertical sensitivity, your aiming sensitivity and, best of all, your dead zone (commonly referred to in these parts as the elusive bounding box). Because the controls can be so tightly tweaked and because Heroes 2 runs at a locked 60 frames per second, you can continually fiddle with the dead zone and the look / aim sensitivities until you stumble upon the perfect match for the way you play. The standard configuration is already highly responsive - better than Call of Duty 3 or Vanguard and not far behind Metroid Prime 3. [However, after maxing everything out and dropping the dead zone down to its smallest size, we walked away with a look / aim speed several times that of Prime 3 and the ability to a 180-degree flip with the Wii remote in a half second, as opposed to the two and half seconds it takes in Corruption.

quote:

You control a stationary artillery cannon by motioning clockwise or counterclockwise with the nunchuk to steer the giant unit right or left, and snap backward with the Wii remote to fire off massive blasts. To yield a heavy machine gun, you twist both the Wii remote and nunchuk to the left or right, as you'd do in Wii Sports Boxing to dodge offensives, and then you fire with the B-trigger. There's even a melee attack - you thrust forward with both the Wii remote and nunchuk to knock out nearby enemies. (In the online multiplayer mode, you can tap Z button for a secondary, but weaker melee attack, too.)

quote:

Enemy artificial intelligence seems respectable. BioShock, it isn't, but at the same time, if your strategy is to camp behind barricades and pop at enemies, you will eventually notice that they'll start throwing grenades your way. If you're particularly bold, you can press the minus button on the Wii remote to kick the grenades back at them, or if you'd prefer, you can toss your own grenades

quote:

- Metroid Prime 3 is the best game on Wii - uses the Wii better than Zelda - the first game that people should buy for the console. Feels so smooth and dynamic. Not one of the games casuals can play - commercial doesn't represent this. Controls are fantastic - aiming is amazing, though turning is a little slow.
- Metroid has proved the power of the Wii controls - superior to dual-analogue ("totally oblitterates it"). Those who say otherwise simply aren't experienced with the wii remote.
- My Sims - enjoyable but linear. Need to turn a terrible town into a great one - build objects, paint things, fill houses. Doesn't feel like a completely open world - doesn't feel much like a social simulator, feels more like a building-simulator. Still fun, good style, feels like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing.
- Medal of Honor Heroes 2: expected the worst since it is a PSP port, but are actually pretty optimistic about it. About as pretty as Vanguard (worse lighting effects, but has a cleaner look). Runs at 60fps nearly all the time which benefits heaps. Lots of customization - can have it incredibly fast is you wish. Can even use Zapper. Online is just as customizable as single player and they don't believe it will share Madden 08's lag problems - reportedly maintains 60fps even with 32 players online.
- Controls are in some ways possibly better than Prime 3. Running needs to be faster - feels like "window-browsing" through the environments - feels like you're in duck mode the whole time. No sprint feature either, but hopefully it will be implemented.
- Lots of cool gameplay features, such as using the rumble and speaker when walking across the mine-field. Arcade mode is a bit shallow but still in some ways better than RE:UC even though its a secondary mode.
- Shows that some companies are starting to capatalize on Wii. Some handheld developers are actually excited to work on Wii due to the increase in power.
- Code Lyoko - based on the TV show. Can go into a computer world - can switch between 4 different characters with special moves. Can draw bridges with wii remote, can fly with both controllers, etc. However, it has control and camera issues. Still early and has some work ahead of it, hopefully these issues can be fixed since it looks quite promising.
- The Sims 2: Castaway has arrived in the office. Haven't played it yet. Not too optimistic since it's Sims 2 again, so it's likely very similar to Pets. Go with My Sims if you want a Sims game.
- Both played a little bit of the US version of Phantom Hourglass. Really well done on DS. Link feels really responsive, not sluggish at all. Stylus controls really intuitive. However, there are some issues. They believe it should be book-form since it doesn't use buttons and the traditional style of holding is less comfortable. Sometimes their wrist would get in the way of the action. However, they believe the game will be a huge success and deservedly so.
- Zack and Wiki - campaign is coming back "full force" since they've played more. It kicks ass. Just appears better and better. Puzzles are diverse - can borrow some ideas from former puzzles but it all still feels new. Puzzles can get crazy and really intelligent. Boss fights appear throughout the game, based on figuring out how to kill it. The game looks fantastic, similar to Wind Waker especially the water. Capcom seems more excited for Zack and Wiki than stuff like Devil May Cry 4. Game is awesome, but retailers and IGN doubt it will sell well. "Amazing game that nobody is going to buy." - buy it, especially if you want sequals.
- Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles - still disappointing. Slow moving with sluggish framerate. Looks good but grainy. Shooting zombies doesn't feel dynamic - they don't have much reaction to shots. However, the aiming controls are precise and co-op works well. Knifing feels pretty cool but need zombies to be close enough which is difficult. Camera is too mechanical. Shooting snakes didn't work well because it's difficult to tell if the snakes are dead due to visuals and animation. Game isn't context-sensitive enough and reactions are poor and inconsistent. There's still time but they're not confident, needs a lot of work.
- Rumours of 750,000 RE4:Wii sales are likely not true. However game has still sold well, possibly better than expectations. Capcom shouldn't base support on whether Umbrella Chronicles sells. Frustrated by Capcom's belief that Wii players couldn't handle a game like Resident Evil 4.
- Worms: Space Oddity announced for Wii from THQ and developed by Team-17. Has a space theme going on. Lots of customization options and Wii controls. Has online as well. Worms DS is really fun so they've got very high hopes for the Wii version. Will have coverage on the game next week - screens and tons of new info.
- New editorial coming out about lack of headset for Wii. Nintendo has no excuses. It's
- Haven't played the import games (Dewy, Endless Ocean, Gundum, Guilty Gear) yet as they have been too busy. Will cover them next week.
- Manhunt 2 - on Friday will possibly be able to bring you coverage on the new version. Will be able to play it, and perhaps show screens and video. Will detail difference from AO version.
- Super Smash Bros. FAQ up tonight. Allows them to speculate on rumours which official update site cannot do.
- Believe 3rd party A teams will start working on Wii once 3rd party games start selling great on Wii. Right now they're not doing so well (except Resident Evil 4). Expect an onslaught of crap, like PS2 had, due to the incredible sales of Wii.
- Don't expect to see Brawl at TGS - instead expect to see a single event dedicated to the game.
- Believe pro-scan and widescreen should be compulsory.
- Red Steel 2 - definitely coming, expect to hear more on it very soon. Don't think Ubisoft will ignore the poor reviews. Expect them to focus on fixing the controls, which is vital since because Prime 3 came out, they would probably give Red Steel a 3 or 4 if it came out today.
- The Eidos game is not the "God Game" that IGN have been talking about.
- Believe Metroid Prime 3 could be done on Xbox even though the game's visuals are highly satisfying. Believe Super Mario Galaxy could also be done on Xbox. The nature of the environments means that a lot of great effects can be done.
- Believe Halo 3's controls show the strengths of the wiimote.
- Lucas Arts are being very quiet on the Wii front. That "lightsaber" game for 2007 is just Lego Star Wars, and it's basically just gesturing for a button press.
- Guitar Hero 3 Wii - online multiplayer will be the extent of your online experience.
- Pespi>Coke.
