Now, in all generations you hit a point where what was so new and impressive when the generation starts to become typical. I suppose the reason this realization took me by surprise (in part) because I haven’t been nearly that dedicated to games on the Xbox 360 (or my old gaming PC) as I was with game systems in the past, and I still play a lot of games on the Wii (which makes HD games look very impressive by comparison).
At the same time, I’m fully willing to admit that I am far less impressed with the Wiimote than I was when it was first released; and I’m very doubtful of many developers ability to use it well with its current limitations. To a certain extent you could say that this is less of a disappointment at the moment because the impending release of Wii MotionPlus gives me hope of having my excitement reignited.
Anyways, is anyone else starting to feel the same way about this generation? |
Nope. I'm a happy camper. I love the competetive levels that Microsoft and Sony are exerting and we are standing to gain much from their various plots to outdo each other. Except of course Microsoft's deliberate attempt at playing dirty by buying exclusives and thus screwing with fans of Sony. It's the equivalent of Tyson biting off Holyfield's ears, I mean I want to shout "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING MICROSOFT?!! WE'RE JUST HERE TO ENJOY THE FIGHT AND YOU'RE SPOILING OUR GODDAM FUN!!!" Anyway except for that, they are really rising and both systems are gaining high amounts of quality as opposed to the relative stability of the consoles in the last generation.
Wii is always great, I also can't wait to play the next big thing in it I'm willing to bet some creative type will come up with truly awesome gameplay that will change how we play games. Then again maybe not, but still I'm sure that there are a few more games that are going to come out that will truly exploit the full potential of Wii's control.
