Fuck THAT!

Uh, he said that like a year ago. Silent Hill on the Wii would be a huge mess.

Zomboid · #3

Agreed. "You can use your wiimote as a flashlight or a knife!". WOOHOO!!!!

Emu · #4

SH5, if it was on the Wii at all, would use the Gamecube controller anyway probably. It's not a shooter, and it's third person in the vein of SH2, so the Wiimote would be generally pretty useless.

Schimid · #5

RE4 worked well. Not every game NEEDS motion sensing capabilities...I think it's a mistake. The Wiimote doesn't necessarily have to be integral to every single game that hits the Wii. Besides, how many buttons do you really need for Silent Hill?

Emu · #6

A lot, evidently, since they're going to be upping the fighting capabilities with things like dodging and soforth.

Guitar Woman · #7

To doge you would flick the nunchuck to the left or the right

IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT GUYS COME ON

STOP TRYING TO USURP MY REASONING FOR BUYING A 360 OVER A WII YOU QUEERS

Fathom Zero · #9

I think the topic title is misleading. It should be, Konami doesn't think the Wii is hardcore enough for Silent Hill.

Emu · #10

It actually should be "Akira Yamaoka thinks etc."

Schimid · #11

I'm just disappointed, as Silent Hill is one of my favorite game franchises...it's cool how they're implementing dodging and whatnot but seriously, it's not like they can't come up with some creative ways to map the controls, motion-sensing or not.

I'm sure there's a HUGE market of Wii owners that are just chomping at the bit for something more "mature", and I'm really shocked to see that Konami won't give it to them ;(

I still maintain that SH on the Wii would be gay -- not to mention it would take development time away from the game to adapt it to work on the Wii. I like the SH series too much to be upset because some fags who won't buy a 360 are upset because they won't get the game.

Schimid · #13

Well, no, you can port it much like they ported RE4. Put it out on every other console, review it, then let it loose on the most popular console of the new generation.

I mean, sure I'm disappointed, but I also think they're standing to lose a lot here.

Emu · #14

I wouldn't care if it was ported to the Wii, but only long after it's on 360 and PS3, so they don't pull a Twilight Princess and delay development for a year.

MLE · #15

uhm, i don't think it's that hard to port once it's done. you're being RIDICULOUS

Emu · #16

i just want an excuse not to buy a wii and i'm not having very many good ones okay get off my back guys

Zomboid · #17

How bout this for an excuse? They're not as fun as 360s. I have both and I only use my wii for virtual console games. Any game that is available on either console is probably better on the 360 because you don't have to deal with gimmicky controls. So for sh5, where you could have a blast flicking your wrist to make your character dodge, you'll have the same effect by pressing a button or moving the joystick on the 360 or ps3. I think I'll survive knowing what I might be missing

Guitar Woman · #18

Well I think the Wii is great! I was a bit skeptical at first but after buying MP3 which causes me to ejaculate every 5 minutes or so I am satisfied with my purchase. I'm gonna get Scarface, Strikers Charged, and Trauma Center soon too!

Also Brawl and No More Heroes when they come out!

Emu · #19

anyway let's not derail this thread so it gets merged with the let's argue about video games thread huh guys!

SH5 looks like it's taking a lot of influence from the SH movie. I'm not sure how I feel about that because while I liked the movie, I've already seen it and this gives me fear for the originality of this new entry. What do you think!

Guitar Woman · #20

According to Yahtzee Croshaw this game is "apparently in the hands of a pack of phenominal idiots" so I'll have to do some research before I'll know what's what.

I've never played a Silent Hill game either so I can't say I give much of a shit.
