| Mr Khan said: Given that this is founded on the fallacious assumption that Nintendo wants to be like Hollywood which is based on Malstrom FUD, the rest of this thread is moot. |
No, that is not what Malstrom is claiming. He's pointing out that a lot of game developers want games to be like Hollywood movies (although Yamouchi has expressed interest in Nintendo getting involved in anime movies), and it's not just people at Nintendo that are trying to do that. But google "iwata asks star wars" and you'll see that Miyamoto is talking about using the camera in cut scenes, which is more like a movie than a game.
Sure it's not as bad as the spiel from David Cage, but the implications are there.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
