CoD5 Co-op "Too much for the Wii" - Aug 09, 2008 15:27

Destructoid writes: "In a sudden turn of events that have shocked thegames industry, Treyarch has confirmed that Call of Duty: World at Warfor the Wiiwill not have an online cooperative mode. Recently, WiiHD had a chanceto speak with a Treyarch representative about the matter. The reasonfor the exclusion of the larger mode is massively surprising.Apparently, the Wii cannot sustain the World at War engine with that many people on-screen at the same time. This is what Treyarch had to officially say:

'We are proud to bring what we believe will be the best-looking Wiigame this fall to the community, but that comes with technicaltrade-offs. The difference between competitive MP and co-op isnon-trivial. Think of a size of an MP level, then compare that to an SPlevel. Then consider all the AI code, level scripting, and endlessother content in a SP / co-op environment that is just too much for the Wii to sustain with our engine.'


The competitive multiplayer better be killer.

Harsh but true.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Wii doesn't have enough RAM.  I've been saying this for years.  Nintendo fanboys will say that graphics aren't everything, fair enough but the fucking thing is still crippled.

Next gen will fix all of this.  RAM is so cheap these days, I can't imagine even Nintendo's next console having less than 1024MB.  Wii has something like 88MB, big difference.

Has anyone seen the Wii version of this game?
The only non  coop(splitscreen)  FPS I would buy would have to be awesome (Metriod Prime series). OR at least have a great splitscreen multiplayer (Killzone).

I bet (I know) it won't look better than Metroid Prime Cube.

Yes. It looks better than most Wii titles on the market to date, but the controls worry me.

Killzone 1 didnt have great anything, moron.

Anyway, I didnt realize split-screen was such an important feature anymore.

Good art direction, a nice soundtrack, and stunning opening credits.

I like it When an enemy cant see me through a wall.
I don't mean  Online multiplayer   as  I have never played on KZ.
I was talking Splitscreen Vs.  Bots.  Where  When they see you,  they  shoot you,
even from window to window.  

What is wrong with you?

So you, the pretentious bastard that you are, liked Killzone 1?

The game was utter garbage compared to other console shooters at the time. Timesplitters, Halo 1+2, Black. Any of those games ring a bell? They all shit all over Killzone 1, and 2 of the were on the PS2 also.

Leave him alone. He was potty-trained at gunpoint.

Yeah, but every time someone goes to pull something out from under their windbreaker he shits himself.
