I think it is of importance to note that excitement about Move and excitement about Move's current games isn't the same thing, because even if someone likes motion controls and doesn't care which system the game is on, what has been shown so far isn't anything special. Another important point is that the vocal minority that hypes Move for its superior technology isn't exactly excited about the games shown so far either. The motive behind praising Move in its current form (which means everything we know about it so far) is most likely the wish that it slows down or stops Nintendo's success with the Wii (the same thing applies to Natal and the hopes that are put in it). It's just like a game that gets hyped not because the person who enthusiastically talks about it actually wants to buy it, but rather what it could do for the success of the console it is on. |
And the motive behind criticizing the move is the wish that the games will stay nothing special?
But i agree, all those sports and party games don't look anything special. Not really anything to get excited about. Unfortunately that's the games that sell on Wii, and i am afraid that is what Natal and Move are aimed at. Sony and Microsoft don't need to aim for the hardcore, they already have the Hardcore, they want the casuals now.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
