Looks rather good if you ask me. Even though It'll just be another Medal of Hounor.

[motion]

Honestly? I'm starting to see no difference between Gamecube graphics and Wii graphics.

[solitanze]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. :blank: :shakehead

[AshMat]

Doesn't look too bad, but MoH sucks.

[CompSci]

meh i'll wait for the 360 vr

[Solo]

MoH died off ever since CoD arrived. The only MoH games I enjoyed were Frontline on PS2 and Allied Assault on PC.

This could be ok though.

[david.dakota]

Remember that this MOH is being developed by EA's new and dedicated Wii Studio (i'd assume, anyway), so it shouldnt just be another addition to a fairly unremarkable franchise. I would hope that the developers take time to sort the controls and add some randy new features too.

[flameboy]

snore....again a game that could easily have been done on the gamecube with little effort, more and more I'm getting the feeling we won't see anywhere near the best out of the wii for many years to come.

[Domstercool]

Love Medal of Honor games myself, but the best ones haven't been since Frontline on consoles and Allied Assault on the PC.

[Nintendinosaur]

Isn't this a PS2 port?

[Pit-Jr]

Isn't this a PS2 port?

Yes probably. The Wii has shown its true colors as the premier PS2/PSP port machine.

The Wii has more than enough power to create new IP's and franchises but hey why bother when developers have all this PS2 code laying around.

[The Peeps]

I've not played a good MoH game on any console. I still play Allied Assault on PC though, fantastic game and best in the series imo.

[Fierce_LiNk]

On the one side, its a little disheartening to see developers/publishers not putting the effort in.

But, on the other side..how many shooters do we have for the Wii now? Red Steel, Far Cry (is that out yet?) and Call of duty 3, with this to look forward to, and Metroid Prime (depends whether you count that or not).

Gaining quite a collection, imo.

[AshMat]

Far Cry came out at launch Flink.

I'm suprised to see how many people like frontline, that was the only one i've actually played, but it put me off playing any of the others.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Alright, cheers for clearing that up.

[Hellfire]

It does have some effects that GC couldn't use and Wii screencaps are always shit, seeing it in motion will show how the graphics are.

[Jordan]

There hasn't been a good MOH game since 2012 made Allied Assault.

EA are incapable at revitilising this franchise.

[Noku]

As far as I know, it's being developed simultaneously for the WII and the PSP (!). No port.

[flameboy]

As far as I know, it's being developed simultaneously for the WII and the PSP (!). No port.

I think people may be saying more how the engine seems to just be a ported cube/ps2/xbox (which ever people think) with tacked on wii controls, rather than a brand new engine for the Wii, which is what should be happening. But as you say it is also coming to PSP will be interesting to see how good the PSP version looks for comparisons.

[Stocka]

It's PS2 not PSP

I wouldn't be surprised if the PSP game looks identical to the Wii one.

[flameboy]

yeah your right, having thought about it medal of honor heroes just came out on PSP not that long ago. a quick check on wikipedia proves this to be the case as well!

[DCK]

That looks like crap. Thanks for the ports EA.

[stuwii]

why does nintendo just say no to ea and make its own games

[DiemetriX]

Far Cry came out at launch Flink.


Far cry did not come out at launch. It was delayed, atleast in europe.
It's out now though, and it's absolutly shit.

[Hellfire]

I wouldn't be surprised if the PSP game looks identical to the Wii one.

Either you're dumb or you're kidding. I can't tell.

[DiemetriX]

Either you're dumb or you're kidding. I can't tell.

Farcry on Wii could have been ported to PSP.
But MOH will look alot better on Wii than PSP.

[Haden]

This looks horrid. Ah well 40 quid to be spent elsewhere.

[raven_blade2006]

Not too bad for first screens. I would like to see progression in the graphical quality as it gets closer to release.

[Retro_Link]

Trailer

March 2007

Terrible PS2 graphics!
But EA have been great with the Wii-mote so far, so at least there might be something good on that front!

[raven_blade2006]

Oh and if it hasnt been said already. Both Medal of Honor Vanguard and Medal of Honor Airborne are confirmed as heading to Wii. Check GoNintendo.

[mcj metroid]

Honestly? I'm starting to see no difference between Gamecube graphics and Wii graphics.

yes but they still look good.the gamecube can still produce good graphics after all so saying that really sin't a bad thing

Teh heh. Its a bit dark in some places...

[DCK]

Nice comeback EA. The game looks promising, though MoH isn't a franchise that ever had trouble with graphics. The gameplay has been crap since Allied Assault/Frontline. The controls seem perfect though, which hopefully means it has been given some thought.

I hope the game looks a bit brighter on a normal TV though. I don't know what the hell went on in that vid.

[IMJ]

A bit too dark in places, couldnt see what was happening. Though i gotta say, the lighting looks good. The parachute jumping sounds good to me, being able to change your starting location slightly.

I've got my eyes on this one ;)

[DiemetriX]

IGN:

We've provided first Wii screenshots and video in our media section and we recommend that readers download and look them all over. From the opening real-time sequence, it's clear that Medal of Honor Vanguard employs a much more advanced 3D engine than Call of Duty 3 for Wii, which produced a decidedly washed out, drab look. In contrast, Vanguard boasts deep colors, advanced lighting effects (in darkened hallways, allied soldiers are illuminated with each bang of your gun and it looks amazing) and crisper textures, and in addition it's able to display action sequences with much more going on. This becomes evident from the very first drop into Holland, where players can see groups of other paratroopers floating downward as planes dogfight nearby. It looks very good -- a cut above most GameCube titles, which shouldn't be surprising since Wii is roughly twice as powerful. The game also runs in 480p and 16:9 on Nintendo's console and, according to EA, the Wii build sports improved graphics over its PlayStation 2 counterpart on top of enhanced controls.

Sounds Interesting .

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

Got any links to information about the controls plz?

Did you happen to miss the article:

[Kurtle Squad]

If there was going to be a 360 ver I'd get that; if it turns out good on Wii I'll have to get it....
Recently been into WWII FPS and bought Frontline, Rising Sun & Big Red One the other day (already had Finest Hour). EA ddin't do a very good job on the C-Stick sensitivity on Frontline though:(..oh...and you run way faster sidestepping :wtf:

[ViPeR]

The multiplayer and controls will decide this for me.

[Cube]

oh...and you run way faster sidestepping :wtf:

Homage to GoldenEye?

Talk about lazyness huh?

[Kurtle Squad]

Homage to GoldenEye?
Heh...It's like it in COD too, but it's just amazingly noticable in this.
I would answer the Goldeneye Q, but I've only played it a few times, ages ago :heh:

[Owen]

Gamespots latest preview is stating to 'keep your eye on this one' as the Wii controls are working quite well.

Also the game has slightly better graphics then the PS2 version but both games are very well detailed and look sharp.

It's out 30th March 2007 in Europe (at the moment).

Fingers crossed it remains a solid title.

[Saminthehat]

Well the video looks pretty good. I just hope it's not a showcase of how patriotic the Americans can get :rolleyes:

[The Bard]

Wow. this sounds pretty awesome. Hope it's out soon.

[mcj metroid]

we need a good fps. i personally like red steel but no it's not the best

[khilafah]

new trailer on Gametrailers. looks very much like the PS2 version..

http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?type=wmv&id=17747

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

Ah, the ole boring look. Very easily recognizable.

[The-chosen-one]

if you look at the new gameplay video on Gametrailers.com
this game looks and plays really good on how the control is fixed
maybe just maybe im going to buy this game ( just maybe haha )

first i'm waiting for the dragonball game that is coming out here in on march 25th and batailon wars and Pokemon becouse it has Online play and finally they have taken out the Friend codes for pokemon do you can search in your region for Online gamers and with region i mean Europe

[The Bard]

It looks pretty good tbh! It's just that the guy playing it is totally crap.

[Cube]

I'll wait for some reviews on this one, looks good so far.

Does anyone know if it havs multipleyer? (Have the latest few had multiplayer? bots?)

[The-chosen-one]

i hope it has multiplayer or else i aint buying it online would be bomb but that aint gonna happen

[Cube]

After some hunting:

Split-Screen Multiplayer, Up to 4 Players
- Deathmatch
- Capture The Flag
- King of the Hill
- Scavenger Hunt (opponents race to capture supply drops that land throughout the battlefield)

No information on use of bots, tho. EA say more information on multiplayer will be released in March.

(information from GameSpot)


Does anyone have any official word on Airborne?

[The-Ironflame]

Looks like your average WWII shooter. It does look rather plain too visually but the video quality is bad. At least they bothered putting a multiplayer mode in, whether it's any good we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully the multiplayer maps are decent enough. If that's not any good I might not bother.

does that mean no online multiplayer? :(

[Cube]

does that mean no online multiplayer? :(

No online multiplayer. Which doesn't change my thoughts on the game. (I couldn't care less about online)

[mcj metroid]

i hope to god this game will be good. i need a decent fps. Red steel is cool but is very limited and the controls are very dodgy.

[The-Ironflame]

I saw nothing wrong with the controls in Red Steel apart from the swordplay.
Oh and when you point the remote out of the sensor bars' range it makes you spin erratically.

[thomaschung]

The graphics look ok. They are going to be Cube like, EA may had started working on this on Cube development kits. Wii dev tools will get better then we will see better graphics.

Don't hold out for 360 version, only on PS2 and Wii and I'd wager the Wii version is better.

Quit complaining about EA's support. Better than not having them on board, they're doing a good job with the Wii controls.

[Owen]

I was going to buy this...but i'm not now. It's just not doing alot for me and theres other games i'm getting, so i think i give it a miss.

I played Heroes on PSP last night and although i found it enjoyable, i just prefer the COD series overall i think.

Don't look a bad game though.

[Cube]

Just read through IGN's Preview (http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/773/773027p1.html), looks promising. I'll wait for reviews of both this an heatseeker before I decide which one to get, tho. The controls sound promising, too.

IGN say a problem is turning, then say "It's not as bad as Red Steel's turning". From that, it seems that MoHV's turning is more than great (as I found nothing wrong with turning in Red Steel)

[mcj metroid]

red steel controls are far from perfect. I'm sure yes you do get used to them.. I did but really you should not have to. Everyone knows how you hold a gun and fire it but red steel makes you hold your hand and even at the lowest sensitivity level if you make a small move it moves far on the screen. It is a problem

[DiemetriX]

[ign] Medal of honor review:
http://wii.ign.com/articles/776/776038p1.html

7.0
Decent

The PS2 version got 7.2
(but then again. They where saying the Wii should do better while it was ok on the "old" ps2)

[flameboy]

not a bad review sounds like another good filler title, hmmm tough to decide which to get when my wii comes back from repairs this or Godfather...

[shade]

Godfather got better reviews.
Talking about godfather I have had trouble finding it in stock for a good price in the online stores, looks like EA might have underestimated the demand. Medla of Honor is actually in stock at Play.

[welsh_gamer]

Sounds good from the IGN review. Will probs pick up The Godfather first tho, and save this for the summer, when it could be cheaper on a website or two.

Peeking round corners excites me!

[flameboy]

yeah I probably will get Godfather first, just because I think it is longer.

[Cube]

Sounds good. But I'll wait for some reviews on heatseeker first. The Wii Controls made Red Steel (which would brobably be an utterly avarage game on other consoles) fantastic, so the Wii Controls on what sounds like a solid FPS which holds up on other consoles should be great.

[DiemetriX]

I got the game today. I'll write about it tonight.

--


The good: The wiimote controls are pretty good. And the 180 degree turn is a welcome addition.
The bad: They have mapped to much to the nunchuck, you may try to reload but your guy will do an 180 backflip. You reload,jump,chrouch,quickturn by moving around the nunchuck. The game isn't groundbraking in anyway, just another EA ww2 game.
The ugly:The graphics look ps2ish. granades don't destroy crates. ( I may be spoiled by "nextgen")

[Cube]

Controls are great. Ive made a few adjustments (removed motion control for jump/crouch & turn speed). Its quite fun, too. Graphics arent great, but they're not bad either.

For some reason it seems to have a TimeSplitters 'feel' about it. Except multiplayer. Sure, it has enough levels and modes, but bots would have been nice.

[DiemetriX]

cool. you can removed motion control for jump/crouch & turn speed. that should make it a lot easier to control.

[Cube]

cool. you can removed motion control for jump/crouch & turn speed. that should make it a lot easier to control.

Basically you can turn on/off:

- Jump/Crouch
- Quick Turn (although there's no other button for it)
- Reload
- Melee Attack

(I just turned off the Jump/Crouch, others work fine - well, melee attack ruins your aim, but that's probably the whole point). And you can also alter the turn speed of your character.

[thomaschung]

is this game worth buying?

[Melainon]

I would say it's worth buying, just don't expect to much. Interestingly, you can actually configure the bounding box in which you aim, which, oddly, IGN's review doesn't mention.

[The-Ironflame]

From what I've read it's not worth £40 off the net it's £30 which is reasonable.
How goods' the multiplayer anyway?
