Engine differences across consoles?

**UndeadFil13QC**

I noticed there were a LOT more Wii scores in the top scores for WoR Vocals and barely any 360, which are almost all talkies songs. On GH5 however, it's the other way around; there are literally no top scores from Wii, all of them being from 360 and PS2. Also, I've noticed that, on Wii, GH5 is much harder to play than WoR. This makes me wonder:

1. Is GH5 easier to play on 360/PS2 than on Wii?
2. Is WoR easier to play on Wii than on 360/PS3?
3. On 360/PS3, is WoR easier to play than GH5?

I've seen rumors from five years ago that WoR was easier on Wii, but I need a real answer.

Can't speak for the first two but I find WoR's vocal engine to be a bit easier than 5's. I can FC All the Right Moves, Love in an Elevator, and A Classic Case of Transference with a decent bit of consistency on WoR, while I tried them on 5 to no avail.

In every vocals game the engine is more lenient on wii/ps2 than 360/ps3, most noticeably on WOR.

Thanks for the replies.

So, from what I understand, Wii scores a lot more on WoR and that is probably because it is much, MUCH easier to actually get a good percentage on every pitched phrase. I honestly don't believe it could score more otherwise, since talkies are unaffected.

And now, for the reason there are literally no top scores coming from Wii on GH5. It must be because there is exactly one actual good vocalist on Wii, or at least one that really tried and went for the FGFC. So it's pretty much the same thing as on guitar on most games where Wii is just unpopular. You can hardly tell if those with a WoR FGFC on Wii are actually good since it's THAT easy...

Pretty much.

There might be a sick twist to the overly high scores on WorWii though, aside from ticks being easier to get : maybe on 360 the words look filled so you think you get every ticks, but actually aren't so you don't... whereas on Wii, they really are, so you do. Which would also mean, for the SP phrases : you get a tiny bit more SP, making some squeezes possible on wii that aren't on 360. Speculations here. But my paths on Again and Fortunate Son were NOT off, so yeah.

... not to mention sometimes, you have to push A after the end of the phrase but it (somehow) counts it as x8, and the activation stretches juuuust a pixel longer, allowing you to get one more phrase as x8 at the end. I remember that happening on Deadfall, (pretty annoying to pull off), and Part7 too. So if Wii gets you more SPticks, it might make other paths possible for a bunch of songs on that platform, who knows.

Anyway, most of my WoRvox scores are bad and I should feel bad for not reduxing them after almost 5 years.

PS : btw are the SP phrases on wii the same as on 360/ps3 ?

I assume it would've been spotted by now, but owell, had to ask.

PS2 : you can't tell if RB2 fgfcs are actually good either, since it's even easier

like WT drums compared to RB drums hehe! (not hating or anything. I like rb2 vox and WTdrums engine, but I simply saw it myself, and I did spend way enough time on those to notice how forgiving they are)

Yes, the SP phrases are all the same from what I've seen.

To be honest, the scoring difference feels totally unfair to me and keeps me uninterested in squeezing and competitive scoring. Guess I'll just go for FCs and never come back to it again...
