You can't attribut logical evolutions of gaming to anyone.
_ Online is a logical evolution, it appeared first on PC.
_ More buttons, dual sticks.... if doubling was inovation anyone would be hailed as inovators.
_ CDs, DVDs and larger media storage are a logical evolution, they appeared first on PC (and about the PS1 inovating with CD... think Sega CD and SNES CD (never saw the day outside of JP)... and PC gaming. The reason N stayed with cartridges was because of CD read speed and load times, they clearly said that before the N64... probably overestimated player frustration due to load times).
_ HD is a logical evolution... again PC gaming had higher resolutions (and variable resolutions), you should credit that to the TV industry for making the switch.
_ Home button.... It's pathetic to see people argue that this is innovation....i'll credit this to PC gaming (Alt+escape or Alt+tab both doing a fine job at this)
The folowing are not logical evolution of mainstream gaming, and thus deserve credit:
_ Mouse use -> goes to apple even if it was for other uses first
_ Shoulder buttons -> Nintendo
_ Analog stick -> Nintendo
_ Force Feedback -> PC
_ Rumble -> Nintendo
_ Console Interface -> PS1 (though it's more an evolution from console to gaming dedicated PC)
_ IR -> Nintendo
_ Motion control -> Nintendo
_ Movie playback on a console -> PS2 (though it's an evolution of Music playback that Sega CD and SNES CD had).
_ Paying for Online Console gaming -> MS
_ Online competitive community (Battlenet, rankings....) -> Blizzard
_ MMO -> Ultima no?
_ Achievements -> MS
_ Fun -> Nintendo
_ Graphix Whorring -> PS360
(I'm probably wrong for some of them but you get my point... some things are inovative, others are not. And the credit should go to the ones who made it mainstream.) |
Those are wrong IR = Atari Motion - Mattel Achievements = old NES games and even before then Fun = Pong/Original PC games (Tennis anyone?) Graphics = Atari or SEGA |
I don't think the last two were supposed to be taken seriously.
