get your hopes down, factor 5 game won't be star wars, starfox, or anything else :(

[Drift]

It's going to be casual. Very casual, they're not even going to use the nunchuck due to casual gamers not liking it. Check the ign podcast, I don't have a link to it atm, but it's the latest. Around the 20min mark they start talking about it.

 

Time to lower them hopes

[Shino]

Factor5 is very much like Rick Astley, they will never let you down.

[Cube]

It'll still be a game-like....game as opposed to something like Brain Training. They blabber on about their important engine and that they're making the best graphics on the Wii.

 

Star Wars is hardly out of the picture (you can't get more casual than a movie tie-in), and the Factor 5 Pilotwings may still happen.

My monies are still betting on a Turrican game of some kind. And anyway, I actually hope more devs start developing a variety games where you only need the Wiimote. Encourages the possibility of more creative control solutions.

Here we go, another one of yours to my sig!

 

Also, read the interview and read what they said. They just took ridiculous unfounded assumptions.

Don't trust IGN.

It IS possible that it'll be casual, but then again:

 

Talking with IGN, Factor 5's CEO shed some light on the status of their eagerly awaited Wii game. According to Eggebrecht the game will make full use of Wii's controller, but the main focus will be the pointing device, not motion controls.

He was very secretive about what the game is about, saying : "(...)is it for third-party publishers, is it for a Nintendo first-party, what title is it? I won't give you a clue". The game engine is mostly done, pushing Wii's hardware more than anything seen so far and "it does everything that the PS3 did and then some"

Julian Eggebrecht promises that they're working very hard on blowing people away with the game's graphics and making good use of the console's unique features. Read the entire interview here and stay alert for more on Factor 5's mysterious project.

Why make mindblowing graphics for a minigame compilation or a non-game?

Mind you, Starfox could very well use only the pointer for controls, at least in the on rails sections...

[Guest Jordan]

Everything the PS3 could do? Sorry, but they're not gunna manage Liar-esk graphics on the Wii.

[Shorty]

I don't think he was referring to visuals, just the engine.

[DCK]

There's a thread about this, and don't be daft. They're not pushing the Wii to do "what the PS3 did, and then some", for some minigame collection.

 

I mean, hell, Mario Galaxy can be considered a casual game.

[Cube]

I mean, hell, Mario Galaxy can be considered a casual game.

 

So can stuff like Halo, Tomb Raider and GTA.

Let me rephrase, SMG is considered a casual game, and those games are only called hardcore because most people who play them have a small penis.

[Cube]

Let me rephrase, SMG is considered a casual game

 

So are the ones I mentioned.

thats a valid point, I think it deserves its own thread

[DCK]

I agreed :wink:

 

Point is, F5 won't dumb this down. It may have casual appeal, but then so do nearly all Nintendo games we love.

[darksnowman]

Yeah, I was gonna say... we have two threads already were Factor 5 and the virtues of IGN are already being discussed.

 

Factor 5 are back.

 

Wii-k in review.
