Factor 5 - Image 1

Lair for the PS3 came and went for Factor 5, and with it being not quite the hit with the critics, the videogame world wondered just where the legendary game developing firm would go to next. Now it seems that the company is geared to make a comeback on the Nintendo Wii, with none other than Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht confirming that yes, the studio is knee-deep in producing an entirely new project for the motion-sensing console - and no, it's not a WiiWare game or a Virtual Console game, but a full-fledged title. Awesome.

What's good about this news, you ask? Here's a refresher: Factor 5 is single-handedly responsible for making one of the best third-party titles for the Nintendo GameCube, namely Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader. Not only did it play like a gem, it looked like one as well, with the title pushing the limits of what the GameCube can handle. Now, put this in perspective with the claim that the Wii's hardware is more or less similar to that of the GameCube, and it's probably safe to say that whatever Factor 5 has in store for the Wii will be something to watch out for.

Unfortunately, Factor 5's big boss revealed nothing else about the title, besides the deal about it being a full-blown one - but if there's any consolation, at least we know that one of Nintendo's strongest third-party supporters is coming back into the fold. Here's hoping for great things coming from Factor 5.

I said it before and I will say it again...

I truly do pity you Mr. Common Sense. Are you trying to convince other people that the Wii is inferior.... or are you trying to convince yourself that the system you own is superior.

I feel sad that your life is so empty and your feeling of self worth is so low that you have chosen to champion other consoles via comments such as the one posted above.

It is clear that you have an empty pathetic life and I do hope that things begin to look up for you. No one should get to the point where they are reduced to cyber-bullying a console. How pathetic is your life?

I am sure that if you try you could make at least one friend. Likewise I am sure there must be at least some talent you have- something that people can appreciate and that can give you a feeling of self worth.

Cheer up and please do not do anything rash. If you feel all hope is lost please contact your local crisis hotline. There are people who can help, ...people who care, ...even about you!
