| padib said: That the thing, right. Some games appeal to one market while others appeal to another. Heavy Rain appeals to a more vocal crowd, Mario Kart appeals to a more consumer crowd. But both are fundamental to success. As for the fun side of things, that's why I was mentioning balance. I believe that HD in Nintendo's hands will be used to enhance the experience as a whole, not ruin it, just like it did in the past with the N64 and Gamecube, with the cutting edge of the time. Never did Nintendo overuse it (I find). Some games will really benefit from HD too, as megaman79 mentioned. |
No. Only one is fundamental to success, as it sold far, far more, and took far less time and money to make. The other kind of game is only about stroking the egos of game developers and the egos of gamers who want desperately for games to be elveted to legitmate art.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
