Is Ocarina of Time still the greatest game of all time??

I didn't mention WW for a reason lol. Good game but better than Oot? laughable, and TP was a superior game to WW (I really wasn't feeling the art style). But again you are on point; to me TP is OoT perfected from a gameplay standpoint whereas OoT was revolutionary. Funny after beating OoT the first time I felt; complete, but definitely a sort of melancholy as well because it was like damn, I have just been blown away and will probably not feel this way for a looong time and I was right.

Metroid Prime..is a masterpiece on so many levels. I may be in the minority but I enjoyed Prime 3 more as that is one of my favorite games this gen so far. But that feeling of seeing Samus in 3-d for the first time..man. Here's hoping Other M is something special.

@Kepto: LoL, I feel the same way, and I also think the first MGS is the best of the 4, (it goes MGS 1,3,4,2)

You know what's funny? The art direction for WW was the reason I got into the industry as more than a musician. I wanted to make a game that was inspired by OOT, and I felt that WW left a huge gap for all those people who loved OOT and MM. I wrote about an 80 page fantasy-novel, which is on hold for now. I wanted to put the entire story together as a book and release it with the game, and let the book be the "hint guide" for the game. That game is on hold for a bigger budget, it might show its face next gen tho. Its a massive undertaking. We backtracked to a smaller game, a quirky Time Splitters 2 influenced FPS game, which *might* be done by the end of the year.

As for MP3, I haven't beaten it yet. I do like it thus far. I just beat TP on Friday, so my eyes are set on MP3 and RE4.

Two things; 1) The gap you speak of was definitely felt, which is why I think when the TP trailer was shown it got the reception it did. 2) That is so full of hotness, you're brining it back to the old school with that idea of a short fantasy novel along with the game, that is too dope. I'm telling you so much emphasis has been on graphics and other visible traits but it is the subtle things that have been lost in modern game design, in my opinion at least. There are exceptions where the total package comes together beautifully.

Yeah, I saw a thread where you said you recently beat TP, great game I enjoyed it more the second time around. MP3, one of those games that gets better the further you venture into it, and RE4..the Wii edition I'm assuming is the one your embarking on, is definitely one of the best games I've ever played, and head and shoulders above RE5 in every area except graphics.
