Dear Reader:
id discusses Wii
A portion of a Cubed3 interview with Todd Hollenshead from id Software
C3: What are your thoughts on the Nintendo Wii in general and how it compares to the XBOX 360 and PlayStation 3?
TH: I don’t know much about the Wii other than just what I’ve read, so it wouldn’t really be fair for me to make comparisons. I think the Wii has a lot of cool potential and Nintendo always makes awesome games for their console, so I bet its going to be successful even if it lacks the raw power of the 360 or PS3.
C3: The unique control system has been stated to be perfect for the FPS genre and downloading via the WiConnect24 online service seems ideal for new maps, upgrades and so on. Could you see id Software properties working well on the system? And have you had chance to try out any tests with the development kit yet?
TH: We don’t have any dev kits that we’re working with so answering at this point would just be speculation, and I’d rather avoid that. If the UI really ends up being an awesome fit for FPS games then we will certainly pay attention to it.
