epic game titles, these days, tend to push modern technology.


do you disagree with that? if so, fine and dandy. but my point stands...

I understand your point.
On the same hand, I just don't see how the Wii is limiting that.
Sure it is not the cutting edge of hardware but it isn't like its a step back from previous generations.

And I guess to use Jonbo's movie analogy.
The Matrix Trilogy and this is a really subjective matter. Use some of the most advanced technology around at the time, but I find the movies dull and rather boring. Its like the tech became more important than the substance. On the same hand something like American Pyscho with a smaller budget was more epic because it was more narrow in focus. If that makes any sense.

Point is, people can sometimes become blind by all the flashing light to see that there are no bulbs inside.
