| Metallicube said: Ha, not even close.. You would think the Wii is the Virtual Boy with the amount of criticism it takes and lack of support it gets. I find it a bit strange/sad/ironic that the most successful console of all time is currently receiving perhaps the worst 3rd party support of all time. It's depressing how ass-backwards and deranged this industry currently is. |
You know whats happening? The internet, fanboyism and bullshit labelling of casual gaming is influencing the game developers themselves. In the same way that the film industry is getting dumber (compare TF2 to Avatar and Terminator 2), the game industry is reacting to a shouting minority of vocal opinions.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
