So capcom want to port Dead Rising to the Wii.... it's nice in thearoy and we'd all be glad... but someone how I don't think it will work.... Why?

I mean seriously, the 360 is the more powerful of the consoles with nice looking games, good graphics, can handle far more than other consolesetc. It is however prone to overheating and blue rings of death that will turn it into a £300 paperweight, but what the hell did you expect from Microsoft?

The PS3 is like the xBox 360 - but with less high specifications, nearly zero games on it worth buying, and prone to collapseing aswell as a gargantuan space hog which will cost you double the amount of a better console. It's major selling point is that 'it plays blue ray DVD - but who cares? Honstly who sits down, watches a film and thinks "holy fuck I can see that micropixel so much clearer now!" But what did you expect from Sony?

The Wii is like the little kid compared to these two... it's all aimed at 'everyone' and none. It's lack of high specifications lead it to focu on gameplay and ith several games they have succceeded. There are also a legion of bad games too and half of those bad games are fucking gimmicks and it's annoying. <insert 'it prints money' here>. So tell me how you are going to put a 360 game onto the Wii without cutting some rather large corners? The only thing that can save this is some decent control implementation possibly and the fact that everyone loves this game because quite frankly it does look fucking awesome. But it'sa port so I'm not holding out for decent control implementation and I'm definately expecting some rather large corner cutting.

I guess I'll have to wait and see. Though I think I am correct.

Forenote: This is aimed a select group of people. If it comes across as a huge generalisation and you don't feel you are one of the morons I describe below then don't feel included. FurthermoreI;m not asking for a complete ignorance of general world history and horrific events, I;m asking for some perspective.



The new resident evil stars old school guy Chris Redfeild running through Africa and facing pretty much the same thing it seems as Leon kennedy did in Resident evil four. But Redfeild is in Africa. So there are black people. And the black people due to the virus is making them go odd again and try to hack you apart with the nearest sharp thing to hand. So your a white guy - and you shoot them.

So okay, thats not bad - the spaniards had it in RE4, what's the differance?
The differance is the skin colour kids! Well you se, now a load of random people are overreacting, rampantly wanking the politically correct penis for all it's worth and crying out the fated words "racism!". Oh for fuck sake. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not racist but seriously -

GET THE FUCK OVER IT!

The spaniards were portrayed n the same way, and not one of them made a big deal about it, if this were a black person blowing chunks out of white people everyone would be cool, what the fuck makes you so differant?

NO!

Before you even say it, your past history of slavery does not make you differant. The British enslaved pretty much everyone during the colonisation period and our expansionist empire, you were not the only ones who become mass casualties of war. And maybe this is going somewhat against the grain but you are not histories most ill treated race either. Your Slavery is not a recent thing, so shut up about it. Maybe you're great grand parents has a cause to feel affected by it, but this shit ended at the very latest well over a hundred and some years ago, pretty much two in fact. America and Britain havedone their best to include you in society and although it's not the easiest place and there is still inequality, you don't now have the right cry like a bitch and scream racism everytime a black person is insulted.

The Jews were much worse persecuted than you, their plight is one MUCH more recent to that of yours, but it is rare that you see them acting in the way you are acting, screaming blue murder because someone portrayed a jew in a bad light. Hell they've been fucked with throughout history - long before yours in ever really mentioned in context with the western world, do you hear them bitch, moaning and wanking about how things are so bad for them? Not nearly half as much as you do, and that gets me is that some of you will do this in reaction to the most stupid little thing.

Resident evil is not racist because it portrays a white man shooting a black guy. End of. You are milking your stereotype for all it's worth and then complaining about it.

Well fuck you.

If you kill someone you should do it up close and personal. None of this gun-toting bollocks, none of this pussy footing around like a cunt, snapping off a dozen bullets and then running away so you don't have to face your actions.

You fucking kill like you should; so you can feel them shudder and convulse and gasp and scream.

You wanna kill someone - you better be able to face the fucking aftermath, better be able to look at the fucking corpse and the mess you've created because this is your fucking work. So you know acutely that it isn't like a fucking movie where people groan and keel over and die quick and quiet, but lay there bleeding out and groaning screaming and wimpering until there isn't enough blood or energy for them to do so and they just lay there and stare at the sky in a bid to keep a fragile fucking hold on their lives.

Look at your fucking art, look at what you've done and be prepared to accept it or you're not fit and right to kill at all.

Actually I posted this as a respose to someones comment about how no games that do NYC, do it properly population wise and how even GTA IV (Which I have never played by the way, just to clarify) Is like a ghost town compared to the real thing. I see these posts by ignorant people who refuse to actually have a concept of what goes on behind the scenes, and just kinda babble on at game developers for one thing or another, when they have fuck all knowledge about what they are talking about. The customer is, most certainly, not always right.
Ahem:


To the morons telling game developers that they should be making a real clone of NYC on a populous scale. Let me break it down for you, since you obviously have not got the slightest idea of what you are talking about. While the consoles nowadays are powerful, they are not unlimited in that power. The average polycount on a humanoid now is at around 10- 25K I think. The buildings - depending on how interactive and thus level of detail can be anywhere from very small amount of polygons with some sharp texturing, to very large polycount with little need to texture with such detail, although it does help.

The population of manhattan is around 1.5 million people. So you want approximately 100K + people walking around in your games at at any one time? That's a fuck load of polygons onscreen at any one time, just taken up by character models. Add buildings, and in a game like GTA, we want some interactivity not static mesh objects with nifty texturing. Lets add another few hundred thousand polygons. Texture loading and sorting, shading all of that with shadows and dynamic lighting, bump mapping etc. All the nifty gadgets you get in todays games. But wait - there's more. Animations - CPU is now dealing with an insane amount of varied animations, AI, crowd control etc. Dynamic world events being generated in a crowd that size. Add cars also.

And physics - you've got several thousand character models trying to get from point A to point B by following an algorithm, a lot of bots are now just stuck walking into each other.

A few other things I'm sure of but - that's the basics I think. By the end of it you have a game that runs a solid 1 - 2 FPS, a world which looks stunning and realistic, but you can't move, and if you do manage to do so you move at about a step every minuet. Chances are that once something along the lines of fast paced action happens, the CPU is still trying to control everything else, whilst keeping up with the decals, bullet models, new animations, various NPC damage meters, and deaths etc - the list goes on.

The mass load will cause you to crash anytime something interesting happens. After watching a slideshow of events that you are attempting to influence your left with a blank screen and this will repeat every time you try and run a game with a manhattan sized population on todays consoles with the average quality and gameplay ratio in them.

That now I have my graphire4 Tablet - I should go back to doing that mass seventh sanctum generations project. I've actually done a whole load of them, but on paper with pencil and stuff - I might redo hal;f of them so I can upload them....
Dunno...

We shall see. But I will start drawing from that great long lsit again. I think overall I ended up at no.20 or somthing.
