MadWorld dev on Wii's need for violent games |
Ó
While some people may view the popular Nintendo Wii as the family-friendly, low-violence gaming platform of this generation, other people want to change that notion. That holds true with Platinum Games and MadWorld director Shigenori Nishikawa.The game creator was recently quoted as saying that "we felt that the Wii Marketplace had too many of the same type of games - there was something missing in the line-up." He then added that a game like MadWorld may be exactly the kind of fresh element that the console needs.
Nishikawa then explained that they don't intend to just paint the Wii red with blood just to say they've added violent elements. He expounded on this by saying gore can be done tastefully given the proper treatment.
"We didn't want to create a game that was depraved or perverse - rather we wanted to create a game that was fun and exiting that happened to feature gruesome violence," concludes the director. Let's wait and see if the censors agree.

Manhunt 2 , No More Heros, The Resident Evil games, The Conduit(soon), House Of The Dead etc theres plent you just need to look for them....
Yes there are a few out there but no where near as many as there are for the other consoles. If some developers were to start to make some good shooters that utilized the wii unique controls, then the wii would begin to get more recognition from the -I hate this term- "hardcore" gamers.
You need to realise that Manhunt 2 is a ps2 game (and its terrible at that) House of the Dead is a really old arcade game that i play on my Dreamcast and Resident Evil? RE5 isnt coming out for wii, you've got a port of the gamecube game RE4 (which is still great and the wii version is a little better but its still a game that people have already seen. I don't see how you could use any of those as arguements with the acception of no more heroes. Oh and dont pull "im just giving examples of violent games" because we all know he meant GOOD violent games.
Metroid, MoH just to name a few (Yes there are some bad shooters too). There are some on the horizon that might improve (Red Steel 2) There are some grey area ones for I found I enjoyed Blazing Angels for Wii the most compare to all other platforms. I think the so called hardcored games will still complain even though we got all the shooters on Wii. They will just find some excuse to whine about the graphics (aka the whole CoD3 comparison). Besides Wii is a whole league of its own. I can't believe someone compare We Ski with SSX.... see what I mean? ;)
The Wii needs to enforce the Horror/Gore Genre not the
obvious like shooters.
I agree with "GW2" there's not enough compared to
other consoles, plus the ones we already have most
of them are ports of the earlier generation.
The Wii needs brand-new and fresh horror/gore games
of it's own.
I remember Eternal Darkness back in the day...that
game is what I'm talking about...apart from everything
else.
I hope it is good.
Yes, yes, a new selection of weapons to utilize from the picture above for operation 'take out MS buttlicking fanboys'.
Victory is mine!
