Spore Dev Down On the Wii

Posted by Zonk on from the cruel-to-be-kind dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As reported by IGN, Spore developer Chris Hecker made a very quotable statement at a traditionally contentious GDC panel. At the 'Game Publishers Rant' event Wednesday morning, Hecker stated that he thought the Wii is a piece of sh*t. He went on to refer to it as 'two GameCubes stuck together with duct tape.' He also took Nintendo to task for not taking games seriously enough. 'It's not clear to me that Nintendo gives a s*** about games as an art form.'"

    Hecker, as far as I know, is mostly interested in doing cutting edge system level stuff, physics in particular.

    The Wii is not a bleeding edge console in terms of CPU power, and it lacks HD. Any developer who is primarily interested in those areas is going to hate working on the Wii.
