Spawn: Perhaps the problem is that I just can't imagine the response time of the Wii controller (and physical space) to be what I need it to be in FPS -- nm

I really enjoyed the RE series on the Wii. I've played COD also and it worked just fine. Even enjoyed the lobbing of grenades using the wiimote -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 10:01
spawn has been told to switch the controll setup to green thumb right? - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:46 4
- Unknown, but good point. Much better for close-quarters combat. (Myself, I tend to jack the response times way up, too, so the controls are super-fast -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:47 3
  - yeah, I have mine set to - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:48 2
    - "his grenades are still dancing!" -- nm - Master Chief Nic Cage si Nov 3, 09:49 1

Does the Wii online service have a subscription cost like XBox? -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 09:45 10
- the ps3 and wii services are free i believe. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:46 9
  - hmmm... meaning the Netflix linkup on Wii would likely be free too... hmmm... - TFox Nov 3, 09:48 8
    - i'm just not sure the wii will be able to handle hd netflix. - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:50 7
      - Apparently, there is an HD Wii coming next year that will fix this problem too. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 09:55 2
        
        Rumor is the Wii Netflix may only work on the Wii HD -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 10:05 1
        
        Yeah, I saw that too. That blows gorilla nuts. - TFox Nov 3, 10:07
      - I don't have an hd tv, and won't in the near future. Which is why the Blu-Ray in PS3 isn't attracting me either. - TFox Nov 3, 09:51 1
        
        We future-proofed; got an HD-PVR when we were shopping, despite not having an HDTV. Two years later, we got an HDTV, and it just works. It's great :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:52
      - afaik, the wii can only output at 480p tops (using component cables). -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:50 1

It works brilliantly in RE. All the mags raved about it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:43 13
- And how many of the mags came from a keyboard/mouse/WADS background? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:47 12
  - The Wii is currently as close as you can get to keyboard/mouse on a console. - Ender Nov 3, 09:53 11
    - I need my reticule linked to my screen; mouselook. Anything less is basically just VirtuaCop, highly annoying. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:54 10
      - I don't know what you mean by "mouselook", but I was a bit worried that I wouldn't like the targeting in RE, but I quickly found it to be great. - musubi Nov 3, 09:57 5
        
        on a PC, the mouse controls the center point of the screen (the reticule) - moving the mouse moves the player's head. - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:59 4
        
        Ahhh. I think you can do that in RE, though. - musubi Nov 3, 10:02 2
        
        I'm too lazy to acquire the game and try it (haven't turned the wii on for a month), but that sounds usable. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:08 1
        
        The only drawback to the RE controls, afaicr, is the inability to "strafe". - musubi Nov 3, 10:11
        
        (It's not in the slightest bit realistic, which I'm fine with. :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:59
      - Well, that's up to the individual game developers. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 09:56 3
        
        Using the wiimote to mouselook would also annoy the snot out of me. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:57 2
        
        (It's hard enough to control that damn hand in Mario Galaxy :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:00 1
