Call of Duty: World ar War Wii and DS Details

Monday, July 14, 2008

Some new info on the Wii and DS version of Call of Duty: World at War have emerged via Nintendic. Rich Farrelly and Noah Heller, are Creative Director and Senior Producer of Treyarch, and talk about the Wii and DS version of Call of Duty: World at War. Hit the jump for all the info.

Wii

  • ”The Wii has not been push to it’s limits yet.”
  • The Wii version will support everything that has been put into the 360 and PS3 versions.
  • There is a secret concerning the co-operative play mode, which is to be revealed at a later stage;
  • World at War for the Wii will be using a revised version of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine. Call of Duty 4 with Wii controls? Sounds pretty damn good to me.
  • Camera and controls are taking a top priority “For example, if you are climbing on a hill, in a game, you would have to adjust the point of view manually…but that is not as in reality, where you would instinctively look a bit higher over your head. That is the kind of adjustment we have obtained working on cameras on the Wii version;”
  • There will be much more fluid movements for the shooting aspect. Sounding any better yet?
  • -Once again, Wii Zapper support has been confirmed, although details are currently unclear, yet there will be a case of players doing typical Zapper movements, such as aiming off-screen to reload weapons;
  • -The main game runs at a solid 30FPS, with the online element being set at 30FPS as well.

DS

  • There will definitely be online play included. Finally. Last years version should of had it!
  • The combat system will be improved over last year’s Call of Duty DS title. I never got a chance to play the last one, but I heard some good things about it.
  • In terms of the Nintendo DS touch-screen interactions, “We cannot tell you anything, but let me tell you: it is NOT just about cutting the right cable, turning off a device or a bomb… we want you to put your hands in the real war!” Sounds good to me. I might have to buy the DS version with the Wii versions!
