| milkyjoe said: Wow... so many people in console warrior mode, not helped by the OP. Miyamoto was in the midst of talking about controls when he said 'our rivals need to do something new' (specifically the way Motionplus adds to Zelda). He wasn't in the midst of talking about creating new gaming ideas or franchises or whatever. It's right there, clear as day. You just have to want to read it, but that would get in the way of veering off on a rant... |
Finally!! Someone who read the article. Miyamoto is suggesting Nintendo's rivals should try setting a new trend with new types of hardware, rather than following the motion control trend Nintendo started with Wii. I think he's on to something, to be honest. Disrupting the market is what has allowed Nintendo to succeed, if they pull it off, it could work very well for Microsoft and Sony.
And as for those people ranting about new IP-yes, a new IP is wonderful and fun, but existing IPs can be among the most innovative. Two of this generations most innovative, inventive and critically acclaimed games (the Galaxy games) come from a 25 year old IP, but they bring something new to the table in terms of gameplay mechanics and ideas. That being said, I think Zelda needs freshening up and I look forward to seeing how Skyward Sword pans out-especially now Miyamoto is talking about it being a "denser" experience.
