| d21lewis said: I actually own or owned all of these games. I was kinda hoping you guys wouldn't mention Star Fox. It kinda disproves my whole arguement, huh? As for Chrono (probably my favorite game ever), and Goldeneye, the foundation for those games were laid out in advance. Chrono by Final Fantasy II & III, and Goldeneye was being shown since the N64 launch. Actually, Chrono may not be evoloution, so much as divine intervention. |
Well, yeah CT built on FF, but it was also very much a revolution. Unfortunately, it was a revolution that never picked up steam. The combination special moves (techniques that used the special abilities of 2 or even all 3 characters) totally changed the way the player had to prioritize team-building and combat. And the multiple endings thing was practically unheard of at the time AND Chrono Trigger pulled it off sublimely. And yet the combat system was never picked up by other games to my knowledge. What a waste!
Goldeneye may have been in the works for a while, but that doesn't change the fact that it totally revolutionized console FPSes and took them from niche game to the front lines. Perfect Dark was mostly evolutionary but what an evolution!

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
