Debriefing > General Goldeneye

Could this mod be implemented...

(1/3) > >>

Kratos:
There is a software for the wii called Homebrew Channel. People make all sorts of applications that can be loaded onto the sd in the Nintendo Wii.

Will Goldeneye Source be able to play on the Wii when such modification occurs? Does the ati card in the wii have enought potential to create such shaders and 3d models?

Thanks

I really doubt this could be handled by a Wii. The Wii has roughly the same horsepower as the original Xbox (From what I understand) and the Xbox could barely handle Half-Life 2. Also, this is a PC game, and would have to most likely be completely rewritten in order to be run by the Wii.

But it would be awesome to point and shoot with the Wiimote.

If you want to do that, it's possible to use a wiimote on your PC with special drivers, and a friend of mine has done it. All you need is a computer with bluetooth and a Wiimote.



EDIT: Better video.

That is unfortunately mostly correct. Although the Wii (no official specs have been released) is in that range of horsepower, it's enough more than the Xbox to run HL2. I don't think too much would have to be re-written and if it is a lot, out-source it (get the pun?) to the talented Wii homebrewers who would  give up their lives to make this happen.

Also, I think the orignal xbox version was poorly ported (Valve is not great with consoles) because the system requirements were fairly close to the specs and PC
games use less power to run than advertised because PCs also run background services (as you may already know), whereas a console has just about no things running in the background meaning all of the RAM and processing power goes straight to the game. Sorry for the rant and I know you may already know this The SSL but,
this is for every new person who needs to know.

Storm101:
Not to mention the online play, which even Nintendo themselves seem to struggle with... It's not happening.

hyp3rstrike:
Not to mention this mod was made for the steam version of the game.
