Posted July 19, 2007 Rockstar should buy Nintendo so they start listening to their fans too. Yeah, if they listened their "fans" we would have GameCube Beyond XTreme with Nintendo Live, 4 ghz quad-core processor, Gamecube Controller, 800 euro pricetag and 500 000 units sold worldwide. :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 19, 2007 This game has potential, but may as well be screwed up. Only time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 19, 2007 This game has potential, but may as well be screwed up. Only time will tell.I can't really see it being screwed up, as there's probably the option for standard controls aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 19, 2007 Just rented this on the 360, and its a very fun game. I'm concerned about how easy the Wii controls will be though - playing a top spin shot without putting it into the net would either be too hard, or too simplified, as far as I can imagine.

I think a button press and immaculate swing timing would be the best way to pull of such moves, means it isn't completely random and won't feel like a fluke when you do swing it plus means there is some skill to it still. I can't wait for this, really hyped to see it, think we could really see some great graphics as I've said before owing to the small closed environment and limited number of characters. Hope this is budget price like on 360 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 19, 2007 This could be great. Will it simply be swinging the remote to hit the ball? I think it'll be great if it was really fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 22, 2007 Lol at those kids trying to play like Wii Sports Tennis and failing to realise that a quick move of the Wii Remote downwards and then a swing is needed to serve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2007 This game could be quite important for the Wii. I want to see how realistic controls on the wii can get. With wii tennis we had potential to change the spin type, hiegt and direction of shots. But direction was imo botched by the fact its to do with timing not placement. Also you cant control the power of shots in as satisfying way as wii bowling and at the net your power was limited. Also there were to many canned animations. To be fair this made it damn accesable but I want to know if there is more potential to the wiimote so im hopeing for good impressions from leipzig on this one.

Posted August 22, 2007 The wii's graphics are getting better and better, it's very odd. Is there a hidden thing inside the Wii which could change the graphics or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2007 That video is worrying in that they are only using the wiimote!! Please dont be like wii tennis, I hope its just a mode for beginners. You better be able to control your characters cause Ive just sold my 360 version of this game in anticipation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2007 Controls Waggle - SwingD-Pad Up - Topspin D-pad Left - Leftspin D-pad Right - Rightspin D-pad Down - Backspin A - Hold for Soft shot B - Hold for Focus shot + - pause 2 - Change camera There had better be alternate control schemes. ATM it just seems to be a port with waggle (rather than proper motion detection) with movement and online taken away. Surely they could have an option to have motion detection to replace D-pad directions. And then the option of Nunchuck control. edit: video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2007 Are my eye's deceiving me or is that a good looking Wii game I see? Also the control scheme is wierd, they need nunchuck support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2007 It'll definitely be weird if you can't move - but that hasn't really hurt Wii Sports Tennis, so I still hope this turns out great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2007 Well glad the graphics look good, I'm not really all that surprised though as I said before expected the small closed environment would lead to this. As for the controls whilst it is disappointing to see them like this, it actually doesn't come as much of surprise. Think of it like Wii Sport's approach to pitching in baseball. It would make things easier, and owing to the low development costs of the original coupled with its likely budget price on the Wii, its to be expected in some respects. I'm not surprised either that there isn't nuchuck support, Wii Sports Tennis didn't need it and I think the small nature of table tennis means its needed even less...

Posted August 22, 2007 But Wii Tennis was part of a package with 5 other games, and it was FREE!!!! If you dont control the players in this its fucking ridiculous! And all swinging does is hit it, with spin done on the dpad and power done on buttons - thats the stupidist thing ive ever fucking heard! So how do you pit spoin and do a soft shot! Would love to try that A button and Dpad at the same time! Well done Rockstar!!! Well done!!!! Is this control confirmed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
