One of Spores developers says "Wii is a piece of..."

mancandy said:Is that why he painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel? Come on? Do you really think John went up to Ringo and said "lead guitarist always gets the chicks"? Okay....maybe he did. But did he say "drums suck, you can't play complicated chords on them"? No. It's music played through a different medium. I think Hecker critizied the Wii itself as a medium. That it is not adequate to deliver artsy games. What does processing power have to do with art?

I never said he hated painting, just that he thought sculpture to be a superior medium. Many, many artist have held the same viewpoint, that is one medium is inherently better and another is inherently restricted and inferior. When film first appeared most people thought it would never be art since it couldn't match literature or painting. When camera's were first developed many painters were intrigued by them, but not many people thought photography could be an art form. He just has a lack of foresight and an inability to think outside the box. If he was a truly accomplished at game development then the console shouldn't matter, but extra power can't hurt.
