Wii: Too Weak For Haze
Free Radical, developer of the TimeSplitters games and the recently announced jungle FPS Haze for Xbox 360 and PS3, recently updated it’s site with the following interesting FAQ snippet:
“Is there going to be a Wii version?
There are currently no plans for a Wii version of Haze. Sadly, the cutting-edge technology we’re using requires more power than the Wii has available. If we could, we would.”
Of course we all already know that Nintendo’s Wii can’t keep up with the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in terms of pure power. Still, many people (including me) held hopes that toned-down versions of true next-gen games like Haze would have been possible, seeing how some titles will indeed get the full service on all three consoles.
Alas, the gaps between the different consoles are apparently getting bigger this time. With the Wii having already attained it’s special place as an incomparable piece of hardware yelling “We never wanted to keep up with you anyways”, the question is how the Xbox 360 and PS3 are going to hold up compared to each other.
