Are you trying to say that the Smash Brothers, Pokemon, Metroid, Mario Party etc.. have a linear story?

Idiot.

Corruption will probably be one of the wii's best games... IF they include online play

. But I don't think we should be comparing it to halo....

How the HELL did you infer that thats what I meant? It's the exact opposite. Good games have good storylines (sure, many other factors come into play, but w/o a good storyline, we cant even start to get into gameplay, mechanics, graphics etc.) because if a player cant follow a storyline, than they wont want to play the game, simple as that.

Zelda, Mario and Metroid are what they are today because Ninty followed up on the originals with sequel after sequel after sequel, strengthening its story, and giving the fanbase something to look forward to (because they are so engrossed in the story).

lets just hope nintendo tells everyone the release date for this game at E3, along with other crucial info about Wii. Can we say possible harddrive?

GamerCon · 06-08-2007, 04:36 AM

A hard drive for the Wii is a must. The downloads will be around 500MB. If they do do that.

A car is revolutionary. A plane is revolutionary. I dont think MP3, Final Fantasy XII, C&C, or such is to be considered revolutionary, they just change the way you play.

LevesqueIsKing · 06-08-2007, 04:43 AM

^erm...downloads? Are you speaking in terms of a future demo channel?

GamerCon · 06-08-2007, 04:44 AM

No i mean if they were to add the multiplayer or maps through a download.

jared19 · 06-08-2007, 04:50 AM

I never thought about that. Maybe thats why the holdoff on online. Makes sense.

LevesqueIsKing · 06-08-2007, 04:50 AM

hmmm...interesting.

I had never taken into account the space required to complete such updates. Its a good point. With Nintendo supposedly using WiiConnect24 on all of the big three, it seems to me that Ninty must be revealing a hard drive of sorts at E3. Its the only logical explanation...

I disagree totally, theres a reason why the makers of MP3 held back this game, if you read in the article, "find it, if you want" that they going to make the game as perfect as they could before releasing it!

(that may not be a revolution to you, but that seems like a major revolution to me!)

So let me get this straight. When a company actually tries to make a game good its a revolution? Well when it comes to Nintendo its more of a miracle. The only reason you think its a revolution, is what other companies have been doing for a long time. I understand where your coming from, they hardly ever try to make a game good but thats not a revolution.

Its not a revolution.

LevesqueIsKing · 06-08-2007, 05:07 AM

^Dude, quit acting like your an all-knowing god or something. There's no way of knowing what it is until we play it. So unless youve already completed MP3: Corruption, I suggest that you stop trying to prove to us that it isnt a revolution, because the whole anti-metroid, anti-nintendo, anti-everything is making you sound like a dick imo.

GamerCon · 06-08-2007, 05:32 AM

Im not anti-nintendo, im anti-tardness. Im not all knowing. you guys are making the CD burner look revolutionary. It was back the first time it was used, for companies, to make CD's. Just because it was released for public use didnt make it a revolution cause companies had burners for a long time. If that makes sense for you.

The Wiimote was 'revolutionary' sure but since they already have a few shooters, making a new one wouldnt be considered a revolution. Final Fantasy 7 wasnt a revolution, it was 3D and things but the same thing as the other ones. MP3 is just a FPS that uses the Wiimote, there are a lot of FPS's that use the Wiimote. Really think about what a revolution is.

If i sound like a dick, toasty. So your a little more closed minded then me, oh well. I have a Wii and some FPS games for it so i already know what the layout of MP3 will be like.

Actually it is on the believers to prove to everyone else that MP3 is a revolution.

MP3 is gonna suck once you pass it.

GamerCon, you've misunderstand what I meant be 'revolutionary'. Revolutionary is not always the first. For example, the game that 'revolutionised' RTS's was Command and Conquer. Was it the first of it's kind? Hell no, Dune 2 had been out for years. What made CnC the revolutionary title was that the masses picket it up, played it and made it the standard setter. After all, in a literal sense that is what a revolution is - change from below; change because a mass of people made it that way. Thus, it does not need to be the first game to use Wii controls, it needs to be the first game to take off because of them.

Regardless of how good they make these controls though they will need to be online. Online multiplayer really is the key component to modern gaming. Single player storylines still have a place but what make games last an age is competitive, online play - "eSports" if you were, like Counter Strike on the PC. Another example of a game that most certainly wasn't the first keyboard and mouse FPS but was the first one to really take off in a massive, massive way online in a competitive sense.

You seem to have ignored me GamerCon. I've already explained why Metroid could be revolutionary. Granted, if it does turn out just like Red Steel, MoH, CoD 3 then it won't be, no. But it has the potential to be something entirely different - something that sets the format for which FPS games are thereafter played in. Theres nothing closed m
