Posted August 26, 2006 Age of Empires is like the PS2: it's for noobs. What you need on the Wii is the legendery, the mighty, the infamous: TOTAL ANNIHILATION!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 26, 2006 If this game is 8p online (I'm not bitching, I'm ok with just 4, this is just a hypothesis), I propose a massive all out all-on-all war on the smallest map there is, so it's kinda like a Steel Cage Deathmatch, but with tanks.:p:awesome: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a bit of a dick... He didn't like the first one, he's not gonna like the second. You can tell this guy either loves Dungeons and Dragons, or GTA games. He's either a geek or a fucktard... And he can't write to save his life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 27, 2006 That's the general tone of kotaku though. It's sarcastic and jaded. He almost sounded happy taking the piss out of the PS3 at E3, strangely. I look forward to this one but I must get hold of BW on the cube first. Is the control system as complicated as it looks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 27, 2006 Is the control system as complicated as it looks? It isn't really that complicated, but giving orders during the heat of battle can be chaotic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 1, 2006 Look VERY hot Also from ONM (taken from Cubed 3) # Players can play as the various different races throughout the game, with varied vehicles, troops and surroundings to use and explore. # The Wii hardware has allowed the developer to create larger, more expansive worlds, special effects and extra details that weren’t present in the original, "expect to see great water in the game!" # Attacks take place in the air, ground and seas: # Naval battles have been added for some beach/sea battles. * Frigates – Fast, easy to manoeuvre and come packed with armaments. Can locate submerged crafts, like submarines. * Submarines – Stealth tactics when deep underwater, but very venerable when surfaced. * Dreadnoughts – A large craft packed full of armour and weapons. Powerful but slow. # Kuju and Nintendo have tried various control schemes, and ONM notes there could be the possibility of different setups come launch, depending on one’s preferences. The current setup: * Nunchuck Analogue stick – move units, standard control. * Flicking the nunchuck allows soldiers to jump and roll! * Nunchcuk trigger – allows player to lock onto the selected unit. * Wiimote – pointing device to move around the screen, used in combination with the analogue stick to turn/strafe. * D-pad – used to cycle through commands/select individual units. * Wiimote trigger (B) – main firing trigger. * Wiimote A – context sensitive action button. # The game will feature over 20 missions for the single-player mode, and 15/16 multiplayer maps. ONM has praised the current multiplayer build, “it really shines in that department”. # There are currently 3 multiplayer modes for co-op battles, standard versus and arcade styled battles. # The game has Wi-Fi capabilities that are “very much supported”, for those looking to take on the world. As with the standard multiplayer there are currently 3 modes to work with: * Co-Op: Go head on with a friend to defeat an enemy, with different scenarios and players controlling different types of units. * Assault: One player defends, the other attacks for an all out… assault! * Skirmish: Complete strategy battles – capturing bases, placement etc. # BWii is set for release in the first half of 2007.

Posted September 2, 2006 Sounds and looks very good!! I wasn't that interested on the GC one because it lacked multiplayer, but this one has some promise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 2, 2006 That makes it look pretty interesting, good chance I'll get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 2, 2006 Co-Op is everything I hoped for but it would be even cooler if it offered a co-op mode for the singleplayer like TS3 had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 18, 2006 Gameplay Video; http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=13156&type=mov&pl=game Level/Environment looks great!! Damn, can't believe you said that. I mean, I'm loving this game so far but the graphics are terrible It's all really bland and textures (especially the rock textures) are really really bad. This is a game I'll buy for fun, not for the graphics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2006 I think it looks very good in motion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2006 I think it looks very good in motion.Yeah I agree!I wouldn't really want realistic rock textures etc... I like the cartoon look of the game and I think if the graphics went too far and were similar to those of Kameo for example, it would ruin the look of the game. When I first saw Battalion Wars 2 in motion, I almost thought it was abit too polished and preferred the look of the gamecube version. However, I think they've got it just right and the draw distance is great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
