While I wasn't to bothered by it, I know I'm in a minority with my odd gaming tastes (biggest announcements for me were Quest for Booty and Animal Crossing if that tells you something). However, I'm quite confused as to how these two situations are so different... Nintendo announced Pikmin and Zelda were in production at E3 as well as commented that Mario and Metroid teams were working on new core games. They gave no information past this. Reggie mentioned they had no intention of showing off these games till they had something substantial to show. This is how Nintendo has operated for the last 4 years. They don't announce anything till they have gameplay to show. All we know is these games are coming at some point. Sony and Square Enix showed off two very nice CGI trailers this year at E3. Sony showed of God of War III with no gameplay or info on the game, and Square Enix showed off FFXIII once again with no gameplay or info on the game. Neither of these games even have set release years, but apparently 30 second to 1 minute CGI trailers are better than a vocal announcement that the game is coming. FFXIII is starting to push 2011 in North America, and I'd bet my recently acquired PS3 that I see Pikmin on my Wii before I see FFXIII on my PS3. God of War III is at least 2010, if we are lucky. What's so different about these two situations. Why is one of these great for the fans, and the other total crap? Personally, I don't like being hyped for a game 2 years before the first gameplay videos... or 3 in FFXIII's case. I'm not saying either situation is great... neither one shows me anything I have to look forward to in the near future, but I don't see why one is better than the other. Anyone else feel this way? |
Well GoW3 has a good chance at being released in 09 , so is MAG , KZ2 , FFXIII ( Japan ) , Resistance Retribution . Other than that Motorstorm 2 , Resistance 2 , LBP , LocoRoco 2 , Patapon 2 , Super Stardust Portable , Fat Princes all of these are released in 08 ... so dont even think to compare this lineup with Nintendos Wii Music ( 08 ) , Wii Sports 2 ( 09 ) , GTA DS ( ??? ) , Shaun W Snowboarding ( lol what a presentation ) and ( the better one lets be honest ) Animal Crossing Wii ( 08 ) . Yes they did have some 3rd party multiplayforms to ( CoD5 ) and SWS is multiplatform to , but common ...
And the new motion sensitive add-on doesnt adds to it neither ...
