| irstupid said: heck i'm fine if they keep putting their Halo 4, GTAV, COD6, GT6, MGS5, and so on upper numerical numbers on the HD consoles if it means we are getting new thought out and developed games for the Wii. The number after the game name is a real big turn off for me. When I see it, I think of it as being the same game/characters/items/guns/ect as the previous game just a bit more polished graphics and the levels redesigned so you aren't running down the same hallway. I mean vegas 2 was like the same, Halo 3 the same, and many other games i have played. Once the 15 minutes of "ooh neat graphics" kicks off its boring again. I love seeing a new game thrown out there that I have no idea on, like Little Kings Story, or Arc Rise Fantasia and others. Heck for all I know they are later iterations in some series but they look new to me and because of no # I believe they are new. |
That's pretty dammed ignorant though, I think the first few years of 360 / PS3 were a bit less adventurous and played things safely with the high costs and whatnot, but now the graphics arn't as bigger seller and everyone's made a alien or war shooter developers are pushing the boundaries for originallity and innovation on the console. More importantly, using the new hardware to do things that weren't possible before, other then shiny graphics.
Then there's everything happening on the PSN / XBLA.
But yeah, I'm sort of worried for next year as there is already a huge list of new IP's which seem to have sizeable budgets with alot of work put into them, all looking pretty new to me too. Some will no doubt be let-downs but there is going to be alot of games unfairly ignored this year I can bet, and we've not even had alot of the big 2009 revealed yet. I'm not sure how the market will cope with so many games, hmm.
