Official Discussion Thread: DLC Week of 12/31 - Rush's 2112!

[Bront20]

Really? Harmonix didn't plan on making the files easily convertible between consoles or at least make a program that easily converts it for them before compiling it? Then that's just lazy programming on their part. Wii customers shouldn't be paying the price for that.

The Wii is missing animations, some track info (crowd noise/singalongs for example), and venue effects, and has a slightly different audio format preventing this from happening. As a result, it's not a simple cross over, unlike the 360 to PS3 which is almost entirely just a header change and some playtesting just in case. They went into detail about it when RBN was shut down on the Wii, but I don't think they were more explicit than anything I've stated (and I reserve the right to not be 100% accurate with this, it was a long time ago this happened).

I'm all ears...

Didn't want to speculate publicly just because it's pointless. Needless to say, limits on what can fit into DLC notices on each console may vary, and some consoles may have a character limit or other such limit on how they're presented or how customized they can be. Or HMX just missed it.

Tread lightly when throwing around accusations like that. You do not have all the information (nor do any of us).

The fact is what HMX is doing and has done with 4 years of continuous DLC and server support is straight-up unheard of for a Wii game (and scarcely heard of for PS3/Xbox games).

Yeah, Harmonix DIDN'T PLAN on making it easier to convert for the consoles when they were making the 360 and Wii.


Oh wait, they didn't make the consoles, so why would it possibly be up to them what format the files are required in?

Maybe rockman thinks HMX should build on the Wii?

Aside - are anything but Mario and Zelda games actually built on the Wii?

Hey









Red Steel 2 is awesome.

[SheSaidSheSaid]

Red Steel 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Paris for the Wii video game console.

Da phuq?!?

Well, I stand corrected Or...informed, since I didn't actually assert anything in my previous post

Wii exclusives? What about Sin and Punishment 2? Madworld? The Conduit?
