That's OK, it didn't. If it seems as though I am "repeatedly commenting" on this error, it's because I obviously haven't made the error clear enough. This is no more a sequel to Wave Race than a particular minigame from Wii Sports Resort. Neither is a similar flying minigame from the same title a sequel to PilotWings. The article you linked was shoddy enough with its references, but I am pointing out, via the medium of satire, how the misrepresentation of key quotes from this article is causing confusion. It's not fair to Kinect Sports Rivals or the Wave Race series to make these comparisons, because: on one hand, based on reports such as these, KSR may be expected to carry the torch of the latter, and on the other hand, KSR should be compared to previous installments IN ITS OWN SERIES. |
So you are saying it is confusing and people may believe Rare made the original Wave Race 64.
But the thing is people are going to compare it to Wave Race 64 and that will not be stopped. Same thing with other genres such as Racing Sims and FPS games. When a scifi FPS comes out often times it gets compared to halo. Or a game like Medal of Honor gets compared to Call of Duty. Then you have Need for Speed shift that gets compared to things such as Gran Turismo.
This is what is happening here. It is being compared to what many believe is the best Wave Racing game and an instant classic. This is not a bad thing for Wave Race and Nintendo. Especially considering people still remember a game that is over a decade old. It just shows that Rare has made what looks like a worthy contendor of Wave Race 64. People do the same with Lost Odyssey and Final Fantasy XIII. Many people will say Lost Odyssey is what FFXIII should have been. It is just a hypothetical case but people understand what it means.
As for Shoddy sources it really isnt using sources. It is just a piece that is written from what seems to be a hardcore gamer who hated the first kinect but is impressed with the new kinect. Looking further you can read what he says about Fighter Within.
As I said before, he isnt saying it is a sequel to Wave Race but I can understand you saying it is at least confusing. But once you read it, you should be able to understand what he means by saying what he said. The only people that will likely get confused is the people who dont know Nintendo EAD is the developers to Wave Race 64. But then again it is stated in the comments a number of times that Rare did not work on Wave Race 64 including this comment.
