id Software explains why Rage won't be on the Wii |
Listed in: News Tags: id Software, rage, todd hollenshead
"For Rage, as much as Nintendo might not like to hear this, id Tech 5 is too much tech for the Wii," says id Software’s President Todd Hollenshead. "We're not doing a crappy version of Rage on the Wii. If you play the PC, the PS3, the 360 version, you get all of it. All the media's the same. We didn't make the crippled version that somebody wishes they had some other platform to play on."
Now how about Nintendo's upcoming "core-targeted"console, the Wii U?
"I haven't really had a chance to sit down with [John] Carmack about it, because it's his opinion that matters," reveals Hollenshead. "From what Nintendo is saying, [the Wii U] looks interesting, but it still remains to be seen how it fits within how id Tech 5 would run on it, is the audience right for us to develop games on that platform."
Rage was originally slated to arrive on September 13, but it was later pushed back to October 4.

Someone should email him a link to all the John Carmack articles talking about the WiiU. It's sad we know more than him.

That sure didn't stop them from doing a crappy version on the iPad. That game didn't even last a full day on my pad.
