Tense Wii gameplay for Call of Duty 3

FIght on the Wii!


We've all had those moments of absolute tension, such as those times when we're playing a fighting game or boxing sim and end up physically dodging the virtual blow because our character couldn't do it. Some of you might even have gone so far as to pushing your controller forward during a frenzied attempt at katamari-rolling greatness.

It's rather unexpected for someone to physically reel from the screen as a result of FPS action, however. Either the guy in this next video had way too much caffeine before the shooting of this promo or he's genuinely feeling very tense from playing Call of Duty 3 with motion sensing technology.

The next video features some frenzied gameplay, as is standard for most FPS games. Playing an FPS on Wii ends up looking like an even more involving experience, since just about everything from shooting to reloading has an associated action. Heck, if you're going as far as thrusting the remote forward to whack someone in the head with the butt of a rifle, then it probably has to feel very tense to any gamer, even one paid to do an ad.

If you can imagine someone rotating your arm in real-time to use the virtual crank that aims an anti-tank cannon or shaking the Wiimote while you're in a struggle with an enemy NPC, then Activision's WWII shooter is probably right up your alley. Enjoy the video, but if you're getting both the Wii and this game, don't get too carried away, alright?

This video was staged. It's a commercial. Is the staff here so dim that they can't tell the difference between an advertisement and reality? I guess if the Wii fans are dumb enough to buy a repackaged Gameube, then they're dumb enough to believe this *****.

i was a bit worried about FPS games , regarding the issue that the controller had to be really accurate, if that problem is more than solved, i believe we will be at the beginning of a whole new era of gaming. After E3 ive been carried away with the Wii's hype, though i kept some doubts, and havent acted like a fanboy, since i pretend at least getting both the wii and ps3... maybe an xbox360, just because of personal preference not at any point thinking the box is a bad system it just attracts me the less, and what hta heck i dont have that much money for all 3 systems lol. that is why am getting the wii first (just talking about the good reasons regarding this console in particular, ill make another analisys on why not to get the ps3 right away later ) when we play videogames, or at least me, am looking foward to an experience that am not quite able to live in real life, in some way the wii is offering a whole new experience (i do have a microsoft sidewinder but it just doesnt feel that good) nintendo is delivering a not so expensive console , with not so expensive games (same prices we are used to or less) and trying... and i say trying cause i still need to see how reliable will the online gaming be... anyhow as you can see , all different genres will be giving us a new way of playing ... without making us murder our pockets. Gaming also becomes fast and intuitive , what brings fun right away, i dunno if this happens to other ppl as well , but every day i have less time for playing, this weeks ive playing FFXII , am amazed that it is alreayd taking me more than 3 weeks to finish it , when i used tot ake only one, cause i spent tons of hours in one day playing... am 22... so i dont have so much spare time to dedicate just to play i have to complement some activities, and trust me i do picture myself , with a couple of beer and some friends at my place playing the wii for a couple of hours before goin out clubbing...So overall , and am not going to go in a deeper analisys, since am sure u r bored all ready, i think that the wii is a console most people should get, its a social console, with social and individual games, that will deliver (i really hope so ) a whole bunch of nex experiences, hey maybe youll be able to share ur own gaming addiction with other ppl that never even came close to a videogame....i dunno.... i know this all sounds like someone who is almost mad about it....maybe in some way i am , i believe now a days great innovators with great ideas are being oppresed in some ways because of big companies buying or patenting the ideas and in most cases developing very slowly those new ideas , just to have control over the market.... thats the way corporations work...not much we can do about it , and that is why even though nintendo itself is one of those corporations, same as sony and microsoft but much smaller, i believe we need to appreciate companies that take big risks, and the wii is a big risk , it might even mean the death of nintendo as a console producer... and we all know , competition gives us better consoles and games......

In my opinion, that was actually a really good ad.



It managed to keep the scenes intense and immersive. it's probably the one commercial which made me think, "wow, if the player looks like he's having THAT much fun, maybe the game is worth a purchase".



I mean, Red Steel's commercial was similar and all, but I couldn't get past the fact that the it tried to make the player "look cool" by trying to "act" cool and all. Needless to say, it wasn't working.



This commercial probably best associates the player and the gameplay. The other commercials, sometimes I don't really get what they're doing with the remote, and sometimes I don't really get how they're controlling what they are onscreen.
