Actually, a second IR camera isn't needed, seeing as there is only one reticule is need to aim.
If you've ever played Far Cry Vengeance for Wii before (which you most likely haven't), both guns used the same reticule. One gun uses the B button on the wiimote to shoot, while the second gun used the Z button on the nunchuck to shoot, but both shot at the same target (similar to Halo 2,3).

I think if they did it right, dual-wielding could work, but its all up to if they decide to do it or not.

activision is bringing us cod5 with good content and gh4 with dlc etc so them and EA woudnt be bad for them. i just hope its not ubisoft. i wish HVS would make their own online service

Nintendo not for Publisher!


EDIT: Sorry for the double post.

[linuxghost]

Agreed @ NO NINTENDO FOR PUBLISHER.

[Fillieto]

Agreed.

[travZEman]

ya i hope it's activision just because CoD5 sounds like it'll have an online like CoD4 from what i've heard, and sounds like they're making a good attempt at good online for GH4. hopefully they could get around the friend codes thing by making their own servers

I hope it's a big name publisher that can advertise it well. Because if a quality game like this sells more than the 5-minute games (and it most likely will being that with like, 2 exceptions, they always fail), things will change for Wii owners.

thats why i said it wouldnt work for "independant aiming" have 2 guns with the same aiming point really makes have 2 guns pointless doesnt it? all i means is that you can fire more rapidly, or i guess if both guns fire simultaneously, it would cause double damage.

The only way we get out of using friendcodes is by the publisher being EA. EA will most likely not be publisher meaning there will be friendcodes unless this game is rated M(which is unlikely).

EDIT: Did everyone see the new screens on VGchartz?













Some of them might not look that good and thats because VGchartz was stupid enough to put it in jpeg format.

[sremick]

Why am I afraid that if Nintendo becomes the publisher, the guns will be replaced by walkie-talkies?

*wonders who'll get the reference*

Disney has nothing to do with my reference.

[lbu8]

^care to explain the reference. They didn't acually do that, did they?

I can't wait for this game, I have been waiting for this since I got a wii.

i thought it was disney changed the guns to walky talkies in the re release of ET. in that case, unless spielberg takes over nintendo, we should still be safe.

i was right there with you, just had the wrong company
