Rumor: Wii Won't Work in Sunlight

 

According to these first impressions posted by high-volume Nintendo forums member OMBRENOIR17, the Wii's sensor bar simply didn't work during a Nintendo Wii event in New York when the sun was shining on it. It was reported to work as soon as the sun moved. Also interesting is that the blue lighting on the drive opening doesn't stay lit blue while the console is running, it's simply illuminated when booting up the system, similar to the start and select buttons on the Gameboy Micro. So the answer to the sunlight problem? Keep your gaming den like the dark, wet cave it should be.

Rumor: Wii Won't Work in Sunlight

 

Φυσικά και δεν θα λειτουργεί η sensor bar αν πέφτει κατευθείαν πάνω της το φώς του ήλιου.

 

Εφόσον η sensor bar λειτουργεί με υπέρυθρες, είναι ευνόητο αυτό.

 

Αν διαβάσουμε καλά το κείμενο, λέει ότι η sensor bar δεν ανταποκρινόταν, όταν ο ήλιος γυάλιζε πάνω της.

 

Δεν θα έχουμε τέτοια προβλήματα σπίτι μας. Έχουμε και κουρτίνες

[asmilon]

Συμφωνω, αλλωστε κανεις μας δεν εχει την τηλεοραση σου απευθειας εκτεθιμενη στον ηλιο, θα ηταν πολυ κουραστικο, οποτε πως θα επηρεαστει η sensor bar?

 

Το κορυφαιο comnment για αυτη την ειδηση ηταν αυτο:

Το θέμα δεν είναι ποιά είναι τα δικά μας προσωπικά γούστα, αλλά ποιοί τίτλοι από τους παραπάνω μπορούν να παρακινήσουν το κοινό σε αγορά της κονσόλας.

 

Οι 5 τίτλοι που έγραψα είναι system sellers παιδιά και θα το δείτε και στην πράξη.

 

Οι υπόλοιποι τίτλοι που έγραψα, με εξαίρεση ορισμένους, έχουν πάρα πολύ θετικά hands-on.

 

Το τί θεωρείς μάπα εσύ και το τί εγώ, αυτό αποτελεί καθαρά προσωπικές απόψεις και δεν χαρακτηρίζουν τα παιχνίδια τα ίδια.

 

Το Trauma Center π.χ, το θεωρούσα μάπα στο DS μέχρι που το έπαιξα και κατάλαβα πόσο καταπληκτικό παιχνίδι είναι.

 

Ας περιμένουμε περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες για τα παιχνίδια και ας μήν βιαζόμαστε.

 

Για το Red Steel είχαμε απλώς εξαιρετικό feedback από την Ubi καθ'όλη τη διάρκεια του project και γι'αυτό έχουμε ψιλοενθουσιαστεί με το τίτλο.

 

Αν αυτό γινόταν και για τα άλλα παιχνίδια, οι απόψεις μας θα ήταν διαφορετικές.

 

Και το κυριότερο από όλα, άθελά μας βλέπουμε τα παιχνίδια αυτά από πλευράς γραφικών και μόνο.

 

Να σου βάλω να επιλέξεις το COD3 μεταξύ XBOX360 και Wii, θα επιλέξεις το πρώτο, καθαρά λόγω γραφικών και ας λένε όλοι ότι το παιχνίδι παίζει πολύ καλύτερα στο Wii.

 

Απλώς βιάζεστε.

RED STEEL LATEST PREVIEW

 

From NOM UK, official nintendo magazine.

 

We spent a whole day playing a brand new version of the game.

 

The most important improvments as far as we're concerned come in the form of vastly improved controls, partly due to the new controllers, which feature extremely accurate pointing devices and refined sensor bars. Mostly though its mainly down to hard work.

 

Red Steel now plays extremely well.

 

Destructable environments yada yada, push remote towards the screen to zoom. Gesture to defeated enemies to direct them they are free to go.

 

With mere months to go, the dev team are determined to keep some aspects of the game secret.

 

Split screen works very well.

 

The team couldn't resist showing us the new graphics, red steel team has started to implement some fantastic new effects. Anyone who's watched red steel footage in action should forget what they've seen so far. You'll have to trust us that the new stuff we've seen is truly amazing. We were treated to 3 areas and they all looked stunning. A red steel video has shown some truly unbelievable character animations. The traditional dojo at night, shows that the wii can throw special effects around like there's no tommorrow. There's a lightning storm outside and the rain is pouring down so hard that little rivers are running down the wooden pillars.

 

They must mean this pic which is not concept art: look at the left hand side of the screen.

 

 

It's a little bit like RE4's village area only far more impressive. Meanwhile "waterlogged passages" demonstrates the potential of the wii as far as textures and atmospherego and are (again) reminiscent of RE4. You're exploring a claustrophobic network of passages with water all around you.

 

Finally in one stage you have to escape a burning dojo and we're not exaggerating when we say it features the best fire effects we've ever seen.

 

All these effects will be shown off at their finest because the version of the game we played was in true 16:9 widescreen 480p at 60 frames per second. Ubisoft is achieving some amazing things with the wii hardware and we can't imagine how good wii games are going to look in the future if this kind of quality is achievable on a launch game.

 

HOWS IT SHAPING UP?

 

Just as we started wondering whether ubisoft had something to hide, we're pleased to report that the developers silence has been worth it, the near finished version of red steel is delivering on all the promises that ubisoft has made since e3. This is going to be a must have for all action fans.

GT Pro Series Hands-On

Is this the Wii's Gran Turismo? We investigate in our hands-on look at this cel-shaded racer

 

-Like another Ubisoft racer for the Wii, GT Pro Series will come packed with a wheel accessory that, when assembled, will let you snap your Wii Remote into a center slot and thus hold the Wii controller as you would you car's steering wheel. It doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but it actually feels good, especially when compared against our previous Wii racing games experiences where holding the rectangular Wii controller didn't add that much to the driving experience. Best of all, you'll be able to use this accessory with any future Wii racing game that comes down the pipe.

 

-As for GT Pro Series, the game is a cel-shaded racing game that's controls and driving model are considerably tighter than that of another Ubisoft Wii racer, Monster Truck 4X4. The cel-shading gives the game a slick look and removes the need for any graphical comparisons to hyper-realistic next-gen racing games such as Forza 2 and Gran Turismo HD

 

-Steering, as you might expect, is a matter of merely moving the controller left or right as you would steer your own car. In practice, the game is responsive to the controls--and the physics of the car felt nice, without being too punishing.

 

-Each of the more than 80 licensed cars found in the game, from makers such as Subaru, Toyota, and Honda, can be set up in two different styles--race or drift.

 

-As for game modes, most of your time in GT Pro Series will likely be spent in the game's championship mode that, like Gran Turismo, is split into a number of different levels. Each level has a number of smaller cups that consist of three or more races; different cups have differing requirements for entry.

 

-In all, GT Pro Series has a cool look, lots of game modes, and controls that feel good. It's too early (and too optimistic) to say if the game will become the Wii's Gran Turismo series just yet, but we're holding out hope that our favorable early impressions of the game are upheld when the final version is released later this year.

 

 

Four-player split-screen racing will be available with the game.
