The first FPS was made by the same company that made Doom...they get the credit for the innovation and the evolution and then further evolution with Quake. Which brings my point about Mario 64: with LBP, you are saying it's not innovative because it has elements that other games have had, even if the implementation is completely different than anything before it. You say LBP doesn't get credit for doing something very well because it didn't do it first. Well, Mario 64 wasn't first, it just refined the genre. It's implementation of all of it's elements was innovative. Creating new methods for things is also considered innovation. You don't have to be the first to use a concept if you use the concept in better ways. |
As for Mario 64 I already explained how that innovated and is still being used as the status quo today.
