Oh no, you too? We already have colafitte telling us that motion controls are a fad because he wants it to be that way while ignoring every counter argument and evidence against this ridiculously false claim. |
It has elements of being a fad. The N64 introduced force feedback and that was something similar. Of course, every single game uses force feedback but that doesn't mean that Star Fox 64 was some kind of industry-transforming game. It introduced something that was a legitimate game play mechanic and then everybody adopted and then basically forgot about.
Mario 64, Goldeneye and OOT, on the other hand, are games that are recognized as being pioneers that fundamentally changed the way we play games from that point on. These games are viewed as being key turning points in the industry. The Wii introduced something that could have been a key turning point in how we play games (ie. Wii Fit) but then the next generation more or less returned to the traditional model for making games which tells me that it lacked the transformative effect that the N64 had on gaming. If, on the other hand, the PS4 was pumping out mainly Wii-era quality of life games then I would agree with you that the Wii had the influence that the N64 had.
As for proof of this, I do not have proof as this is just an opinion. Feel free to disagree with me.
