Nah, that is blatantly a render using in-game assets. The density of the dust/particle effects and the HDR/depth of field stuff.. Plus, the shadow detail is way too high resolution. But hey, it's a pretty cool ad. I wanna see more, a proper hands-on! :(

Real Time Weapon Change!

Hmmmmmm. Does this come bundled with the Motionplus, do we know? If not, I can see some problems arising with Motionplus only games and those not in the know.

- main character is the only one able to accomplish the task of saving the world

:wub:

Quite like the sound of that.

Well seeing how its going to be bundled with Wii Sports Resort Im pretty sure theres going to be quite a few people with the devices, and I would imagine that those people not in the know are also the ones most likely to buy Wii Sports anyway.

I don't. Game over for me.

EDIT: The 70% free-roaming bit.

I read 'free-roaming' as FPS. I imagine it's going to take place in a coherent world like Metroid games, rather than level after level of linear gameplay (like CoD4). Of course, this means people will simply moan about THE BACKTRACKING. (facepalm of despair)

I don't think we can ever expect 1:1 - even if the technology is there. We're all rubbish at sword fighting I reckon... we need a level of freedom that makes us feel as though we're controling the action, but compensates for our rubbishness at sword fighting.

Not 1:1 then.

RollEyes. SadFace.

I don't think that's a confirmation on 'non 1:1' as much as a confirmation that you can change the sensitivity so that if you want to sit down and play you still can. If it was 1:1 with absolutely no options to change, you'd always (for example) have to be standing up and swinging the remote hard enough to cleave through skull every time you played. Or what if little Jonny just can't get the power required for a 'strong' blow. It seems obvious to me that all this stuff will require the ability to tune to an individual users circumstances/abilities/preferences.
