Lets see ,we have all seen videos of Mario Galaxy running side by side with Mario Sunshine ,and Metroid 3 running side by side to Metroid Echoes.There isnt a big difference ,no matter what you say.And the Xbox was even more powerful that the Cube.
Maybe the Cube is somewhat better ,but all that extra optimisation and power goes to representing the same graphics in 480p.
About the controllers ,well ....when the Wiimote allows to control a game as NInja Gaiden Sigma ,as Call of Duty4 ,as Devil May Cry 4 ,as Mass Effect ,as a true Pro Evolution Soccer , just the same as the traditional controllers then we speak.The Wiimote is a innovative idea (well ,they had a first go with the Power Glove in the 80s and the Xavix console preceded the Wii for a whole year and some months) but it just doesnt work very well.It has brought a simplicity to games to appeal to all publics ,but the next step we all know wich will be ....do the same but with better graphics and a more capable controller(more inputs ,more accuracy)...in a way they are trying to cover some distance with the Wii Motion Plus add-on.
So if they will follow the trend for more complexity later on whats this?A reboot of the industry to a less advanced state to dumb it down enough to appel more people that will be lost in the future no matter what?Or will it keep as simple and dumbed down as it is forever?
None of the possibilities are too good.The first is just this being the "generation lost" of gaming ,the second well is making flash games the future and that cant be.Or it could be ,but would be in fact the "ruining" of gaming we were speaking about. |
I really don't get it ...
For 30 years people worked hard and dreamed about the day when videogames would obtain the level of visual and simulation quality that the Wii represents, and simply because there is hardware which is slight (in the grand scheme of things) more powerful than the Wii it is a step backwards in the progression of videogames?
Seriously, grow up and gain perspective on just how good you have things!

Thats only your opinion.I can assure you that back in the Dreamcast days with Virtua Tennis my dream wasnt to have a worse looking game where I cant even control the player run but I get to hit the ball(well ,three times of four at least) with a swing of my hand.For core gamers the evolution of the industry was just fine as it was,I think it most Nintendo fans that by having their company in the top again seem compelled to justify whatever.
