You will gain much more traction much more quickly if you make your points without deriding the person you're talking to. I don't think EAD even could make a game like Shadow of the Colossus; it's so far out of their portfolio and design philosophy it would be like watching a wood carver trying to paint a portrait. They'll get the gist, but somethign about it will be off. For now I'm fine with them continuing to fund Platinum Games. |
@bold. Exactly, and I think that's what happened with TP. But the fans do want Nintendo to get the skill back, as OoT, Super Metroid and other fundamental Nintendo IPs had that at some point in the history of Nintendo, and I believe that would be highly invaluable to them on the long run.
However, I also agree that it is currently out of their skills, like as if they lost it. That's why I proposed an R&D approach to the idea, and also mentioned that they should start with minimalistic projects in the spirit of SotC, which for example has no minions and has lots of open spaces, which add to the silent ambiance of the game, yet would keep the costs minimal.
