I've never been a fan of anything playstation so this is just great news (yes I'm evil) and since I own a Wii and really like Red Steel (It grows on you) I hope that we will see some Valvish games on Wii (HL2 should be possible since it was converted for xbox.)

You gotta realize that the Wii only has 80 Mb of ram. A Valve game converted to the Wii would have to be crunched BIG time

Maybe they could port over Codename Gordon. HL2 on the Wii would be pretty butchered, I'd think.

[Furyo]

Yeah, but that's a 2d game, and to me the proper way to use Wii's controls in a 2d game is by using the wiimote only, flip it 90° and use it as a normal pad.

A classic Half Life though would be cool. It'd actually be nice to see a whole range of classic old games make it to the Wii in a "Golden Games" collection of some kind

[insta]

I was kidding about Codename Gordon

[dux]

NO YOU WEREN'T!

[Furyo]

Now come on Magnar, you and I both know it could turn out to be the best looking Wii game so far

[MrH2o]

Red Steel manage to do fine with just 80mb

[Thrik]

Didn't HL2 get ported to the Xbox fairly successfully? If that 64mb wonder could handle it then the Wii should be able to, even if nowhere near as beautifully as a PC or a 360/PS3. Though I still think if you're after deeply cinematic gaming like Valve provide, you're better off with the number crunchers rather than the physical fun of the Wii.

hl2 with the wiimote would be seriously awesome though

that doesnt say much

This does though:

Memory:

* 88 MB main memory (24 MB "internal" 1T-SRAM integrated into graphics package, 64 MB "external" GDDR3 SDRAM)[46]

* 3 MB GPU texture memory

Its retarded low and you really notice that in the games..

I still love my wii though

The way Rayman was made, the idea was more "Make it for the PS2, it'll fit on the Wii ok". That's how next gen our processes were Hell even Nintendo said it. it's all about the gaming experience, not the high res hardware.

If you look at Zelda, it's a GCN game.

Why are the specs so shit?
