Many film critics thought sound was going to destroy cinema, and now we laugh at them for being so wrong. They thought that if people used dialogue to communicate, they would stop using facial expressions in extreme close-ups to convey their emotions, which was a main draw for some of the big films and big stars. Actors were known for how well they could express emotion with the most subtle facial moves, and now they're known more for the way they control their voice than their face. If you've watched many silent films you can see the huge difference in acting style, but it didn't destroy cinema at all. Both acting styles have good and horrible examples.
Every change to an art form is greeted with whiners who feel the new stuff doesn't count and is a threat to the art form. There are still filmmakers who hate video and think working with video is an insult to the cinema.
The dawn of casual games is no different, but traditional games won't be reduced to the small niche silent films were.
And Wii Sports will be considered by the majority to be the world's best selling game, and won't have an asterix. It will be the highest number on the list, and that's what everybody's going to see for a very long time. |
WOW. You are comparing implementing sound into films to the Wii? You're being a drama queen. Remind me to never, ever respect your opinion again.

He's talking about motion controls, not this one specific implementation of them. Just like the ability to move across a scrolling level, as opposed to just Super Mario Bros.

OK. ill edit. Same deal though.
