I'm getting this for Wii on release date. I own a 360 but never gave Overlord a try.. And the Conduit same day. Hope they both turn out great.
Climax: Thanks for giving hardcore gamers something to play on Wii :) Hope you get a lot of support for what you are doing. May it sell by the bucketload.. |

obvious troll on wiiboards:
Wow, those graphics look pretty impressive for wee standards! They actually pushed the Wii to it's limits and were able to produce pentium 2 generation pc graphics from a decade ago! :D |

We didn't want to compromise. Wouldn't minion-baiting mini-games be hilarious? Well, maybe. But it certainly wouldn't be Overlord. We wanted to retain the core of Overlord being a gamer's game, which means it's not a casual experience like Wii Sports. But that's the cool thing about Wii: it's desensitising a generation of new games to The Fear of Joypads. A PS3 pad is an intimidating collection of buttons for a new gamer, but they know they can play Wii games. A swish of a Wii remote to hit a tennis ball showed them that. The challenge now is to get them engrossed in more videogamey experiences, entertainment that just doesn't exist in other forms. Wii Fit is great at what it does, but are you happy for that to represent videogames as a whole? I'm not. I want to use the Wii as a Trojan Horse to sneak the stuff that games are actually all about into people's consciousness.
Nintendo has done an amazing job with Wii, they've grown the market. But there's a real danger now of the Wii becoming a two-game console for people: Wii Sports, Wii Fit and then it's back in the cupboard. Let's not forget there's a generation of people out there that got into Megadrive as it was the faddy thing, played Sonic, and then it was in the bin. Only by converting those kind of people to like proper videogames for proper videogame reasons can we win big. Dean, I love you and I want to have your babies. |
