you all are going a bit overboard with this, wii wont have that big a affect.


its hard to say if it will or wont. Taking it in the worse case, Microsoft and Sony follows Nintendo's example next gen and destroys true console gaming.

Just to clarify my last post. I'm not meaning that the large franchises will die or anything, their gameplay mechanics might change though.

Where are you getting this from? What the hell is "true console gaming"?

Nothing is going to die or go away. People said this about 3D gaming, that it would kill side scrolling platform games or other 2D games. But 2D games are still being created to fill in the void. It's not what it used to be, since 3D games are better for most games, but they are still there. If everyone started making compilations of mini games, then that segment will be saturated. Not everyone makes Honda Civics, I still see Lamborghinis being made.

 


and I also see Ferrari Enzos being made and those cost 1.5m each but we arent talking cars.

yes side-scrollers are being made, but unlike the flat 2D environments it was upgraded to include 3D features but the upgrade from 2D to 3D didnt remove gameplay elements we know and love but a total shift in the way we control things will if the Wii wins. I dont want to play a console RPG and to perform an attack with the next gen WiiMote using mega motion tech (yes making up what Nintendo would call it lol) would be spin the controller clockwise, thrust it forwards, slash it to the right, then press the A button while spinning around in a circle.. yes I made that all up but thats where things will be heading if the Wii wins. Im sorry but do you really want to look that retarded when playing a game? People already look stupid playing Wii Sports and Wii Play.. how retarded do you have to look till you realize that the gameplay isnt worth you time and energy. If you want a work out, play DDR. Its been out for years, play the Eye Play games with the PS2 eyetoy, their fun and can make you work out more then swinging around a piece of plastic.


It's that kind of mentality that is ruinning the industry.  The e-thug who thinks he needs to look cool and play cool looking games or he's not on top.  Of course people look ridiculous playing Wii sports, because they are having fun.  You think they look dumb now you should see a room full of drunk people playing.  I don't think I've ever laughed harder in my life.  On the other hand, I sat down at Noon and had beat Gears of War by 7:30 that evening.  All that was left was to go online and play multiplayer while 10 year olds called me "a gay n00b."  That's not my idea of fun.  My idea is a mentally challenging 50 hour Zelda experience.  Or playing through Metroid Prime while trying to solve complex puzzles through an intriguing plot and deep environments.  Or playing Wii sports with 3 friends while we laugh at each other and ourselves.  Not that Final Fantasy would ever be that anyway.  It's not like Nintendo dropped all semblance of regular control.  It just annoys me how narrow minded the industry has become.  People who have really been gaming since the Atari days know that what's happening isn't right for either the industry or gamers.
