Free Radical: Wii Can’t Handle Our Game
If you're riding steerage on the cruise to next-gen gaming, part of the "One Console Future" crowd, and your primary console is going to be the Nintendo Wii, you won't be joining the rest of us at Free Radical's ritzy Haze party. The Timesplitters and Second Sight dev says they're just going to require a little more horsepower under the hood for their next-gen FPS.
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.
Dang. This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone clued into the Gamecube II's unimpressive technical specs, but could give Timesplitters super-fans pause when making their purchasing decisions. Still, while it would make sense for future entries in the Timesplitters brand to be built on the in-house developed Haze engine, we've heard more than once that Gamecube development tools fit nicely with the Wii. A Wii Timesplitters could still be a reality, but it will always be Haze's dumpy, dateless little sister.
