Ghost Recon also headed to Wii, PSP, and DS; Wii version developed by a different team

"He noted that the Wii version of Ghost Recon will "be done by a different team" with a "different approach ... created for that Wii population.""

And that's why it's gonna flop.

I'm not hating on the Wii, but it doesn't seem like it would be worth it to bring the game to the console. Especially in light of recent higher profile games that have made the jump and have come up short. It if doesn't come from 1st party Nintendo then it doesn't really stand a chance.

Alas, no PS2 support.

What they need is the Wii 360 degree treadmill - would be great to fully simulate this game and just another step into working off America's handlebars and manboobs.

" He noted that the Wii version of Ghost Recon will "be done by a different team" with a "different approach ... created for that Wii population."

So.....basically an on-rails game or a collection of minigames....

*Sigh*

with a "different approach ... created for that Wii population."

Please don't make it another on-rail shooter please don't make it another on-rail shooter please don't make it another on-rail shooter

I think this could go either way with "will be done by a different team". It works for Infinity Ward and Treyarch when it comes to the CoD games. And Treyarch just seems to keep getting better with each one (WaW and MW:R are both good games that IW would insist couldn't be done on the Wii). So I shall wait and see what will come of this before making a decision one way or another.

"[...]and will be created for the Wii population."

This means there will be two possibilities:

1. This will be another Guitar Hero World Tour, where the "Big Boy" console versions aren't as good as the Wii version. Vicarious Visions created a game that played to the Wii's strengths, and instead of sitting on their duffs, they milked what they could from the hardware and software.

2. This will end up like most multi-platform releases, with the Wii development being underfunded, understaffed, and handled by a team that could care less about what they're doing.

I truly hope that the first possibility becomes reality. The Wii CAN handle a game like this, just not exactly in the same way as a PS360 (Different maps for different draw distances, or high-contrast textures that don't require too much processing but still convey visual info and look decent, etc... just like Metroid Prime 3...). Personally, I like using the wiimote to control FPSs, so if this game gets the attention and polish it deserves (and the gamers deserve), it could be quite good.

But I have to admit, that's a pretty big "if". I can dream.

Sigh, Ghost Recon has really been dumbed down ever since the release of that great tactical shooter back in 2001.

Sorry for not explaining, before: I used the term "better" to refer to the fact that VV added extra content and system-specific goodies that the other versions weren't sporting (or even tried to), and it attained more of an individual technical achievement (SD access/streaming without fridge-cleaning, always-connected, etc.) than it's bigger brothers did on the other two consoles (they didn't bring anything special to the table). Simply, the Wii version upped the ante and pushed the system-boundaries, and the others didn't.

Also, if you compare GHWT to RB2 on each system, individually, I think it's safe to say that what VV did was make a "better" product through their work (I don't think WT is as much fun as RB2 on PS360), compared to the "stock" game on the PS360 seen in context with RB2.

Technically, yes, the other versions are HD, have the disk support (instead of an SD card), but for a true evolution of the experience and a commitment to giving gamers something new and fun, I think the Wii version of GHWT is "better".

For the sake of being as fair as I can, I do have to admit that requiring four wiimotes is horrible (compared to RB2). As far as I understand, though, Nintendo wanted all the music games to use wiimotes; RB2 didn't follow the rules, and GHWT did, to their loss.

This is all opinion, though, so I'll shut up. Haha.

All I ask is that this team put some real effort into the psp version. The last Ghost Recon 2 port was miserable.
