Scarface is a fine game. Whthr or not it’s what fans wanted is another thing, but the only bad thing I’ve experienced in the game is fake shadows. Other than that I’m cool with it.

The Wii version is not a port of the Wii version. It is being ported TO PS2.

This is what Jeff Mills of Red Fly Studio had to say about Ghostbusters for Wii:

“1.) Our Wii/PS2 development is done in-house with a dedicated team for each project. Zen Studios (see About page for more info) handles our DS builds.
2.)The Nintendo Wii is our primary version of the Ghostbusters game. We are pushing that hardware to its maximum potential. Where necessary, the PS2 might have some aspects reduced (i.e. only 2-player multiplayer instead of the Wii’s 4-player). But overall, Terminal Reality’s Infernal Engine allows us to maximize each hardware set easily.
3.) There might be an occasional peek at the game on these pages, but hi-res images will come from Sierra throughout their marketing campaign in the coming year.”

It’s literally a “letter.” I’m not sending it. It’s more like an editorial written like a letter. Thanks for reading, everyone.

And yet, when you do send it to Sierra; it’s going to the trash can.

Sadly, Atlantis1982 has a point.

hmm, just read the article on game informer. they had like 5 pages or more on this new ghostbusters game coming out next halloween. then they had one paragraph talking about the cartoon version on the ps2 and wii. not too promising at first glance, but here’s hoping that the game is actually good. and its a shame that many games made between ps2 and wii look the same on both systems when wii is so much more capable in the graphics department. just laziness by developers i suppose. they did mention that the wii/ps2 version will focus on multiplayer and family play. hmmm, not sure what that means. does that mean the ps3/360 version doesn’t focus on multiplayer? i doubt it. anyways the game informer magazine showed multiplayer split screen for the wii/ps2 version? now why can’t they just do wifi multiplayer? i’ll wait for the reviews on this one.

Personally, I’ve already pretty much been sold to buy the 360 version based on what I’ve already read, mainly that the 360/PS3 version is by one team, and the Wii/PS2 is by another. Which screams that the Wii version will be the PS2 version with the Wii controls slapped on, since that seems to be the case with every othetr Wii-PS2 port. And the other point was that the Wii/PS2 will be a “cartoon” version. I’m at the point that I will not support stuff like this any more. I’m not going to pay money for a PS2 game with Wii controls crammed in and I would think by now the third parties would have gotten the hint but doesn’t seem like it. And personally I’m pretty tired of seemingly every 3rd party feeling the need to make every game they put on the Wii cartoony and obviously geared toward kids. Every game doesn’t have to sickly sweet with big bright colors and cartoony looks.

Personally the Wii games graphics style make no difference to me. In fact I might prefer it if the 360 game goes “Polar Express” on our asses. The uncanny valley is a fear I’ve often had about games this gen and only a few seem to be able to disguise it a bit (Mass Effect).

It looks a little Team Fortress 2 and I liked that games art style.

For me its the gameplay and overall technical proficiency that has me concerned.

I think it’s the ….and PS2 bit.
