The only thing I'd change would be frame rate. Gimme all of it at 60fps and I don't really care about the texture quality

Indeed.
Steady framerate is far more important then graphical quality to me.

So, explain this one to me - why did Free Radical Design say that the Wii couldn't cope with HAZE, when they weren't doing a Wii version anyway?

.... Because they weren't doing a Wii version anyway!
Are we supposed to be bothered?

Yes, but what was the POINT of putting out a press release saying the Wii couldn't cope with it? Spite? Anger because they didn't get a dev kit?

Publicity.

Because if they didn't say it the rabid fans would be all over them for answers.

I guess it saves any embarrasment later since all the assets were already produced at xb360/ps3 spec and downgrading the lot now would take too long. ie they are worried they've put their money on the wrong horse(s) and its too late. getting the excuses in early. Pride perhaps?

Don't jinx it guys, let's wait to see if the Wii really takes off.

Did they actually put it out as a press release though? I'd imagine it was more someone doing an interview, and asking them if they were doing a Wii version. Then taking that one answer and making a whole story out of it. I've seen it done at least 3 times this year so far.

Yeh, I think the whole wii news and speculation has died down drastically since E3; the fanboys are pouncing on anything they can get. I saw a video where Dave Doak actually compliments and says hed like to work with the wii.

Only 3?
