So... people want developers to stop trying to push the boundaries of game design with games built to take advantage of the power of the HD consoles in favor of making pretty games with last gen gameplay?

How many PS360 games "push the boundaries of game design"?

 

 

*shrugs* Lots? :P Seriously, can you imagine a game like Assassins Creed on Wii? It's just not possible.

Of the three defining factors of playing Assassin's Creed - the gameplay mechanics themselves, the size and interactivity of the city, and the sheer scope of everything you can do all at once, only the last is impossible on the Wii.

If Assassin's Creed is your idea of "pushing the boundaries of game design"...

AC was a pretty crappy game, but you can't seriously think that it wasn't, in many ways, groundbreaking.

Altair can interact with anything. Absolutely anything that looks remotely climbable, and it all animates beautifully without any awkward transitions. I can't imagine them pulling it off on Wii hardware.
