Project Origin on Wii? (in related news Hell freezes over)

The web site E3.net has reported that the much anticipated sequel to F.E.A.R., Project Origin is going to be released on Wii. And While it’s true that E3.net is not exactly known for there accuracy, This is still a pretty big typo.

Next to Half-Life 2, F.E.A.R. is one of my Favorite FPS. So the prospect of it appearing on Wii is very exciting. But sadly I think the chances of this being true are slim to none.

One of the main reasons this seems rather unbelievable is that F.E.A.R. was as much a technical show as it was a game. One of the things that really made that game so much fun was the (at the time) incredible shadow and lighting techniques that really helped to immerse you into the game. And so far Project Origin has shown no signs of breaking this tradition. So the Wii just seems like a odd fit for this game.

But as unlikely as it is that it will be on Wii. The thought of F.E.A.R’s awesome weapon mechanics with a Wii Remote, does give me a bit of excitement.
