Yea and GTA4 is a rehash of 3, MGS4 is a rehash of 3, COD4 is a rehash of every other shooter in existance, Guitar hero is the same damn thing, the list could go on forever.

Your examples are horrendous, first Resident Evil 4 and now Sonic? These are natural, obvious progressions for the genre. Mario or Sonic becoming a 3d platformers is obvious, Resident Evil dropping its flawed pre-rendered backround system with bad controls and terrible camera is an obvious progression for the genre.

Banjo building, racing, and blowing up vehicles is not a damn natural progression. It's not even the same fucking genre, not even close. You aren't improving the platformer, you're simply not making a platformer anymore.

The platformer could use a good game much more than the racing, flying, blowing up vehicles genre could. This game has a new style, but it's not all that different from all the other games that 360 fans have been playing. This isn't innovating as much as it is conforming.


Resident Evil 4 did not have zombies... Try telling Sonic fans that 3d was a natural progression...


Nice argument, you're really getting somewhere.  Sonic going to 3d was natural progression, and it is also basically what caused the downfall of sonic for so long.  3D sonic games weren't as good as 2D ones, but sonic couldn't continue to be 2D on consoles.  If it was as simple as continuing in 2D they would have done that.  Many people liked 2D mario games better, some don't, but they are still the same style of gameplay just done in 3D rather than 2D.  

You are comparing something that stays true to the original in gameplay, the only thing that changed was the perspective and controls to something that completely changed the genre of the game, the core of the game is completely changed to the point it doesn't really resemble the past games anymore.  Mostly what is remaining is just the art style.

Ok resident evil 4 didn't have zombies, it doesn't make a difference in the argument.
