Dead Space haunting the Wii

i allways thinking of buying Dead Space for the PS3, but i'll wait and see if this is good.

here we go. now to all wii fanboys don't take this the wrong way because i own a wii and have enjoyed a few games on it, but when these developers begin to realize that they need not to create such a sophisticated piece of software for the ps3 or 360 then they will turn away from those platforms and put there time n' $$$ into the wii. this is not good because the wii isn't much more advanced than the GC (except for motion controls) so we will begin to see software advances start to slow. now i understand that EA is just one developer, and microsoft and sony have a few decent developers under there wings, but for those who are multi-platform why waste so much time and $$$ on two consoles when you could all but make the same amount of profit from releasing on the wii which is at a 50 million install base. luckily, if i had to guess, many of the wii owners aren't into or won't be able to purchase "M" themed games like Deadspace, but on more user friendly titles that isn't the case.

What kind of graphics will Dead Space have for the Wii? Watered-down of course. 8)

cool, Wii base is almost over PS3 and 360 useerbase

Can't wait for Mass Effect 2 :).

The only reason they're porting anything is because of that massive financial loss they just had that they reported. Otherwise they'd still be giving Nintendo the finger.

Gamespot are sooooo slow with the news. Crytek has bought Free Radical so we may see Timesplitters 4 after all. << LINK REMOVED >>

this has the potential to be good, but can it match the 360/ps3 verison? i doubt it.

Probably it will look a lot like RE4 on Wii (which is not a bad thing at all) but still, there is a bast difference between the 360/PS3 and the Wii. But if they manage to pull it off, they'll have a way to earn the revenue they deserve.

Hopefully we'll see a Mirror's Edge sequel. Also, I really doubt Dead Space Wii Edition is going to be good.

Yay, another Bad Company!

smart move for ea. i'm surprised not more 3rd party developers has done the same. the wii may not be a graphics powerhouse but it takes less money and less time to develop for the wii and 45 million households already own it.

Hmmm... with the financial problems EA is having, I can't believe they're taking a risk on porting this kind of game to the Wii. Graphics aside, I'm just not sure there's an audience for it. Kinda surprises me that EA is being the one to give it a shot. Still, EA HAS done some pretty interesting stuff so far with the Wii's controls. Madden is fun with waggle, but also falls into the category of "you seriously don't expect me to play like this more than a half hour at a time" like most Wii games that dare go beyond "shake the controller".

Wow, this game, let alone any real horror game(new house of the dead excluded), just doesn't belong on the wii. Resident Evil will work since the shooting will be better than the other consoles, but it's going to be VERY hard to capture Dead Space's atmosphere without making a shallow game. If this does well though I will be impressed with EA and the wii.

I like the idea of having motion controls, but I may still just rent this.

Arclight_Blue Posted Feb 4, 2009 10:59 am GMT Hey EA, while you guys are at it why not make a Mirrors Edge wii version with Wiimote nunchuck and Balance Board controls. That would totally rock! imagine how many times you would get motion sickness that would own!

the RES engine works for the wii and seeing as this game already played like the latter it wont make much of a difference which is a good thing but im guessing this is going to be a straight port!

Wow, didn't see this one coming. This is great news for Wii owners, even though I'm not one myself.

its going to be kind of re4 on wii game

Hey EA, while you guys are at it why not make a Mirrors Edge wii version with Wiimote nunchuck and Balance Board controls. That would totally rock!

coming for the wii ok (bad graphics)

If this turns out good i will buy this for the Wii and trade in my xbox 360 version

DEAD SPACE will rock on the Wii. And with an already great looking 2009 software line up, this just more good news for Nintendo and Wii owners everywhere.

TheDecoy2124 - it will make or break on the controls. If they get these right, it could be superior to the other versions (except in the eyes of the graphics junkies).

I love this on the 360, and I rented it on my PS3 I freakin loved it so much. Now I finally have a reason to use my Wii again. But since I've had it on 360 and PS3, I cautiously optimistic on how it will turn out.

Dead Space...YES!!! Finally great games are coming for the best console. It was about time,and believe me its going to be great. RE4 was great,No more heroes great,Zelda great,Disaster great why not this one;!;! Tenchu GREAT! We want more!!!

Dead Space for Wii...I'd love to see that.

I wonder how much are they going to butcher it...If it's done right - then good for Wii owners, though.

Ooh, that will be superb for Wii owners. I've gone through the 360 version about 4 times now, and it was definitely my GotY. If they can get the controls down like they did with Resident Evil 4, then everyone will be lovin' it!

I think this next 12 months will see a huge rush of developers realising they were wrong to shun the Wii - sales figures can't be ignored. It should mean a vastly improved and extended games library over the 12-24 months hopefully.

Dead Space: Space Activities! Use your Wii-Mote to take part in 25 different fun-themed minigames!

Excellent news for starved Wii gamers. Obviously not so great for EA if said gamers already own it on their PS3/360/PC however.

"they'll have to tone down the graphics for the Wii" - probably, but I, for one, couldn't care less. Take RE4 and give it super great, "updated" graphics in some other console, I would still prefer to play the Wii version

I wish I could make a Necromorph Mii.... That'd be awesome, and it attacks the mii in the mii parade. Anyway, cool, that Dead Space is hitting the Wii. It is a brilliant game, so i hope it will play even better on the Wii, and that the lack of graphics wont affect the atmosphere. Finally a use for tilting your wiimote in a gangsta style lol, especially with the Plasma cutter. To Deano: No sh!t sherlock.

Mass Effect 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna go CRAZY WAITING FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No offense to Nintendo or wii owners (i own one) ..but this is going to look really horrid on the Wii lol :D

they'll have to tone down the graphics so the wee can handle it

Nice, now Wii finally gets a great game too. ;)

yey lol finally a decent game

So Dragon Age for christmas and ME2 for first days of new year? where oh where do we get the time?

Medal of Honor Allied Assault was my first WW2 first person shooter that I ever played....loved it. But I can understand why they would rest the franchise. For a while there was an over saturation of such shooters in the market. However, I'm thrilled that there's going to be a Bad Company sequel. Under rated when it comes to mentioning the best FPS multiplayer experiences.

"They want our bodies!" Now the Necromorphs get to invade the Wii's out there. Good.

damn i had hoped for a new medal of honour anytime soon but that aint gonna happen at least this year

Thank you EA for now deciding to make games ofr the Wii!!! Dead Space on the wii!! WOOT!

I doubt Wii would be able to handle such a high detail demanding game like dead space. I mean RE4 is just PS2 graphic at best and Wii can definitely handle it. But Dead Space...?Can they really pull it off? Maybe it would just become another rail-shooter? I don't know.

Well Dead Space should work out great on the Wii. I felt the controls had a very Resident Evil 4 feel to them, and I thought the Wii version of RE4 was the best due to the controls. Things like aiming and knife attacks just worked better so if EA sticks to the same formula we should all have a winner.

Eww. I personally disagree with this. The only people who would buy it are most likely hardcore gamers who have left it sitting there since getting tired of SSBB (very hard to do IMO). Little kids who play the Wii to marvel at the fact that they can bowl without getting it in the gutter probably won't buy this game. They'll probably be too busy going wow at world of goo or those toy car games. I'd like too see how the controls on this game work though.

for the scare factor im sure wii can deliver.After all, Fatal frame 4 was scarier than dead space and it was for wii.Oh yes, some haters forget wii has some exclusive mature games they wont ever be able to play as well.

Dead Space...on the Wii.... BRING IT ON!!!
