The original point that I was replying to was that Sony made new IPs instead of reusing their IPs like Nintnedo. I responded by pointing out that even though Sony makes new IPs, there is nothing original about most of said new IPs, and I listed the biggest first party games that Sony had and compared them to 3rd party games in the same genre. (The only truly original IPs they have being LBP and the ICO games) So I fail to see the irony that you are seeing, Now I want you to find me one third party game that is like Zelda OoT, one FPS that is like the Metroid Primes, and one game that was like Super Smash Bros before it came out. It's impossible. It seems like Nintendo's games actually stand out from all the standard genre-defined games of third parties and the like doesn't it? Also, you shouldn't forget how many genres Nintnedo has pioneered. Sony and MS are now making Wii sports clones for example. Nintnedo hasn't made new IP in a long time, but the IP that they already have does stand out from all other games that the industry makes, unlike MS and Sony's new games, that mostly just takes proven concepts and applies them to already well-defined genres. |
I'll quote myself just to show one of the original points I was trying to make. People are nitpicking about the bolded part. Just disregard it, and my original point stands. Nintendo has pioneered many more genres that Sony ever will, and made more innovations in gameplay than Sony ever will, the most notable being the innovations introduced in OoT and SM64 that STILL build the foundation for 3D gameplay. What genres or fundemental gameplay mechanics have MS or Sony ever invented?
Also, Nintendo's games does stand out in the sea of Gods of War and Killzones and Gears of Wars, or U fitness obvious rip offs that you find on store shelves. There is nothing like Super Smash Brothers Brawl except the game itself for sale today, same goes for Zelda TP, New Super Mario Bros Wii (I know Sonic 4 just released, but that was like 2 days ago), and so on.
There, happy now?
I LOVE ICELAND!
