leo-j your an idiot.
Nintendo saved the industry period.
Sony come in and revolutionized gaming by going into 3d and cd and made it grow.
and now the Wii revolutionized gaming and is making it grow. |
1. Sony didn't introduce CDs into gaming, Sega did. Even discounting the Sega CD, the Saturn launched before the PSX did. 2. Likewise with 3D gaming - Star Fox at least came out before the PSX did (and I'm sure there are plenty of others I don't know - see 32X, perhaps). Also, early PSX 3D games were clunky and mishappen. Until Mario 64 (and the N64) added the analog stick and camera-dependent directional controls to 3D 3rd person games, they weren't mass-marketable. And, of course, Doom gets credit for 3D 1st person games. |
Tomb Raider came out before Mario 64 and was a 3d 3rd person game that was mass marketable. |
1. Check your facts. It came out November '96, Mario 64 was out in both Japan and the US by then. 2. It was mass-marketable because of boobs. This is just my opinion, of course, but I remember attempting to play that game and be astounded by how clunky the controls were. Ahh ,the advantages of camera-sensitive controls and joystick. |
1. Oops you're right, it came out a few months later. 2. Actually it was a great game with great level design. |
Perhaps. I hated the controls, so I never got a chance to find out, which ties into my assertation that what hooked people was breasts, not the game itself. Perhaps it was worth it once you got hooked, though. *shrugs* |
Obviously you have no clue what you're talking about with the game so maybe you should just drop it. If it was only breasts it wouldn't have gotten a 90-93% on Gamerankings. Hell if it's all just about breasts please explain why Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball got a 73.2% or it's sequel got a 53.6%, they had a lot more breasts on display than Tomb Raider ever did. A game doesn't have a sequel as anticipated as Tomb Raider 2 was if it was breasts attached to a poor or average game that was selling it. And as far as it being the breasts that hooked people, I played the game and didn't give a damn about her breasts. My girlfriend at the time played it as well and is straight so the breasts weren't what got her hooked on the game either.
