(outside of controls). Halo 3 multiplayer is the same old thing refined as expected. Mario Galaxy is the essential Mario 64 game with a few things added and set in space. Twilight Princess is based around Ocarina of Time, looks better and has a different story. See a pattern here? |
No question. Which was sort of my point. Sequels are relatively easy when compared to doing something new. So to say that losing Jaffe (though I guess he's not leaving completely) isn't a big deal based on a sequel may not be accurate. Look at all those Miyamoto created Nintendo franchises. Many of them have long been in the hands of other developers,a nd those franchises haven't suffered. Where Miyamoto really helps Nintendo is in creating new IPs, not rehashing past work. Now I don't know what else Jaffe has done - GoW may be his one big success, and all we'll see in the future is shit, but even so I give more credit to someone who did something new than someone who did the sequel.
