Godfather II producer says game not on Wii due to lack of next gen hardware
“We felt that in order to truly deliver on the vision of The Godfather II we really had to focus and take advantage of what the next gen hardware has to offer, including online connectivity. The next gen hardware is simply more robust and allows for a higher visual bar and immersive experience. A next gen hardware focus enables higher-resolution textures, longer draw distances, and better frame-rates. But we also harnessed the power of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 to make gameplay improvements as well. We were able to create an all new Artificial Intelligence system to make our characters act and react more intelligently.” – Dave Woldman, Godfather II Producer
Mr. Woldman’s aren’t exactly incorrect, but I don’t feel as though that’s a great reason for denying Wii owners the chance to play Godfather II. The first game, after all, was received very well on the Wii…Would it really be that difficult to create a game that comes even remotely closed to the 360/PS3 versions?
