Geometry Wars coming to the Wii
Posts
Anyways, I cant' really see the controls working for GW on either Nintendo platform, but hey, we'll see how it turns out.

I am not a geometry wars fan. But, y'know, cool I guess. Classic controller support perhaps?
Anyway, nintendo needs to launch this wii-ware shit stat. Absurd that they haven't opened the spigot yet, or done a better job courting indie developers.
You miss!
The blue diamond moves closer.
You attack the blue diamond . . .
and hit for 3 hit points of damage. The blue diamond is destroyed.
A purple square approaches!
Your command?

This will be to the 360's geometry wars as the xbox's farcry: predator was to farcry PC.
Meaning, not as good looking, not even remotely the same game, but probably still a lot of fun.
Seriously, one of the most exciting things for me when I first heard about the virtual console was the possibility of downloading smaller, arcade-ish games, including new user created games. Where is that?
Right here.

Geometry wars for the Wii will be very different from the 360 version. For one it will have a multiplayer mode and a fully fleshed out single player game.
Well that could be cool. It's just so hard to imagine that game for the Wii.
.
i am going to have to see a multiplayer game before i believe nintendo is capable of a good one. their matchmaking is too meh.

I doubt it would be online at all.
Now there are other things to think about. How would geometry wars work as a full single player experience? Multiplayer would be pretty cool actually, but a geometry wars "campaign" sounds a little off the wall.

its completely different.
and as far as the single player goes, ive been saying for years that i would maim, kill, rape whatever needed it to get geometry wars as a psuedo rpg/rts with player ships that are either customisable or level up and change.

Have you played Geometry Wars? Placing standard scrolling levels in that game would make it a completely different game.
Yeah, I have played it. This is a completely different game.
But at that point it wouldn't be Geometry Wars, it would be just another standard shoot-em-up.
not if it retained graphics, audio, and controls.
I don't know, maybe it could work. The entire point of Geometry Wars is the fast paced, defensive, survival shooting/dodging. It's really not a "shmup" by the genre's usual standards and putting those linear levels in the game feels like a disservice to me.
Multiplayer would make the game worth a purchase though, as long as the controls are as responsive as they are on the 360. There's also the possibility that this updated game will come to 360 as well. If that happens, I'd just assume get it on there with my leaderboards, HD graphics, and Xbox Live funcionality for multiplayer.
i dont think it could retain the graphics, considering it uses all of the cores on the 360, and the controls would be different obviously, so that leaves...audio.

I would hope that the Wii could handle geometry wars. It's an impressive looking game, but not THAT impressive.
You have got to be kidding.
for retro evolved, i remember reading that on alot of sites that it was the only (i think) launch title to use all the cores.

Yeah....no. If I put Marcus Fenix into Halo, it would still be Halo. It isn't Gears of War.
Now that I think about it, a Spectre inspired single player mode in Geometry Wars would rock hardcore.

i bought a 360 at launch, and GW:RE gets more playing time than almost every other game combined.
i dont care what direction they head for, its called geometry wars, im buyin it.
