Huge news! Make use of the WiiSpeak!

GCNSeanFoster5755d ago

One good thing about Wii Speak is it is USB. With that being said hopefully Nyko,MadCatz or some 3rd party can make a USB headset for voice chat... I really do not dig the whole "room" chat...

Product5755d ago

well ill be damn.High Voltage is taking this game to AAA status with voice chat.

poopsack5755d ago

not trying to insult this game but by your logic if you can put voice chat on a piece of crap that makes it AAA?

phantomexe5755d ago

hell yea thats great news.After that bad E3 showing by nintendo.Product what you think of that E3 pretty sad?

iamtehpwn5755d ago (Edited 5755d ago )

This game and MadWorld are killer apps.

Smacktard5755d ago

Agreed. Nintendo's conference was awful. They just don't care about the hardcore gamer anymore. I'm still glad I have a Wii though, cause there's a lot of cool 3rd party games coming out. Little King's Story, Conduit, and Mad World to name a few.

N4g_null5755d ago

LOL truthfully they did not want to scare the casuals it seems. For the motion+ to be standard the casuals have to eat Wii resort up! It's a necessary evil it seems.

Rute5755d ago

To Smacktard: Just because Nintendo didn't mention hc games (apart from Monster Hunter and GTA DS) in their press conference event, doesn't mean they don't care about the hardcore gamers. It just means that Nintendo has a new image.

Nintendo has already confirmed upocming core titles like new Zelda and Pikmin 3 at the Developer Discussion Coverage of E3. EAD Tokyo, Retro Studios, Factor 5 and many other succesful studios are making secretly Wii core titles for Nintendo as we speak.

nintendostar5755d ago

If this doesn't get "hardcore gamers" a little interested then its not Nintendo's Wii they have a problem with *wink *wink

As much as I bought into the Conduit hype back in the day I really hope this game is not for a Nintendo platform-I was burned by promises of great graphics,controls and story-what I got was unfinished assets, disappearing floors and one of the stupidest stories of all time...

Conduit 2 and the problems of motion-controller shooters (Bitmob)

Conduit 2 is not the game that finally makes the first-person shooter feel at home on the Wii. Is this goal an impossible dream, or are developers just going about it incorrectly?

I remember how much initial excitement there was for shooters on the Wii. Never really panned out.

HolyOrangeCows4718d ago (Edited 4718d ago )

It really sucks....the perfect outlet for shooters, one of the most popular genres this gen, and it doesn't hardly have a handful of good shooters (Conduit is NOT a part of that handful).

I was glad to see Sony release the Move, because I knew it would fill the void where I thought the Wii would be. But it would be nice to see more support for it....all I use it for is Kz3.

@gypsygib
I felt like the little movements were 100x better than with an analog stick, but I think big movements/turns can be a bit tricky.
Anyway, I pretty much agree; Move makes me not want to go back to sticks for FPS games....not that I mind playing shooters the old fashion way now. In fact, I was playing Metal Arms: Glitch in the System today (PS2/Xbox/Gcube - HIGHLY recommended!).

@Below
I hate the FPS Metroid games, and the COD Wii-ports suck.

Valk4718d ago

So Conduit, Prime, COD, all the other games that work perfectly are complete crap but 1 FPS on PS3 proves the Move is filling the void?

Do you even listen to what you are saying?

ChickeyCantor4718d ago (Edited 4718d ago )

"I hate the FPS Metroid games"

Thought the same untill i actually finished the first one.
I can safely say : ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!

Shok4718d ago

No, it's just that most people were not willing to to adjust to the new control scheme.

Seriously, the Move and Wiimote are superior to dual-analogue. IR pointing is much more precise. Play Conduit 2 or Goldeneye 007 with the Classic Controller and watch yourself get decimated by the Wiimote users.

And there's really not even any big "motion-control" in these shooters. In Conduit for instance, you jab the Wiimote to melee, but that's pretty much it, and you can even map that action to an actual button.

gypsygib4718d ago

Play Killzone 3 using Move, although it has a very high learning curve, once learned you'll never want to play a FPS game on analogs again.

The accuracy, turn speed and movement are so much faster and better but it takes around 2 hours to master and tweak your settings.

Motion controlled shooters are the best way to play FPS games on consoles, at least as far as Move is concerned.

Knushwood Butt4718d ago

Yep. Can't see me rushing to buy a pad based shooter after KZ3 and Socom 4 with Move.

gypsygib4716d ago

I think the only reason I plan on getting Resistance 3 is due to Move controls. I've never played Resistance 1 and 2.

Knushwood Butt4716d ago

I loved the first game and enjoyed the second.

I'm slightly concerned that Insomniac only decided to implement Move at a later stage of development, but I'm sure they'll do a good job of it.

tunaks14718d ago

Prime 3, MOH:H2, Red Steel 2, Conduit 1, COD Reflex, and COD BO all control accurately on Wii.

Saying Move some how solves everything is naive, Move's supremacy over the Wiimote accuracy does not extend to the Wiimote's IR.

IR is 1:1, Good controls depend on the programming, the dead boxes, turning speeds, and how well it utilizes the pointer mechanic, hell including customizable controls fixes most problems.

Shok4718d ago

I don't get it. How can you complain about controls in a game where the controls are fully customizable? Like tunaks1 said above, you can adjust the deadzone, turning speed, cursor sensitivity, x-axis, y-axis, everything.

You can even map whatever action to whatever button.

Wii Motion Plus just makes it all better.

AND you can use the Classic Controller if you want to. This goes for Goldeneye 007 too.

Knushwood Butt4718d ago

It's not often I find myself agreeing with, shall we say, someone that likes Nintendo a lot, but I think the problem here is mainly that the article is written by an idiot.

'With a wand, you need to make a conscious effort to keep your cursor centered, which over anything other than the shortest of periods is tiring.'.

I can't say I have every played an FPS with the Wiimote, but for Move, this comment is totally redundant as the best way to play is by resting your 'wand' hand on your lap. As such, there really is no conscious effort to keep your cursor centered, unless you are incapable of resting your hand on your lap. Furthermore, doing so is not in the least bit tiring.

I would have thought the same principle applies to Wii shooters.

Shok4718d ago

Exactly. Only idiots play Move/Wiimote shooters with their arms up. You're supossed to rest them in your lap and hold your wrist up slightly.

GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME4718d ago

i think that killzone 3 has done motion controlled shooting better than most, if not the best.

Knushwood Butt4718d ago

I'd argue that Socom 4 does it better.

It took me a long time to tweak the KZ3 Move settings before I was happy with them, while with Socom 4 I play it with the default Move settings and have never needed to tweak them.
