Forums - Nintendo - Here we go again: Heavy Rain creator calls Wii a toy and board game

Yeah it'a like 2008 again, hooray.

 

When you have a game console like the Playstation that has a hard drive, a blu-ray reader, that connects to the internet, and does a billion other things, and that has a "hard" in terms of games that really is extraordinary, well, I think at some point people make the difference between something that is like a toy, a funny boardgame like the Wii, and a real... well a real multimedia center with an extremely strong videogame experence.

Someone ban him please.



Above: still the best game of the year.

And another reason why I really don't like David Cage, I mean I'm sure he is a nice guy in all but I gust disagree with just about everything the guy says and he comes across as a real duche...

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

If he's supposed to be an artist, shouldn't he be calling wii a coloring book?



yeah, a toy that has been on the top of the console race for YEARS. I should expect nothing less of a man who made a game so full of itself that you could cut the pretensiousness with a nodachi.

Incoming 100 post thread filled with "Wii is doomzed" posts and general crying!



                            

It's so 2007 i would say...

Just the playstation has play in name and it's purpose is to play game, give entertainment so i think it's a toy too... Just for the "hardcorz" is a a hardcore toy, but still a toy.



But we must first concentrate ourselves on the way to entertain people, for video games to live. Else, it's a world where sales representative will win, which has as effect to kill creativity. I want to say to the creators all around the world:"Courage, Dare!". Shigeru Miyamoto.

Wow I've lost a some respect for David Cage today.

Wii is a lot of things....even I am disappointed with it

But it aint a "toy" or a "funny board game".



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I never tried to play chess on top of my Wii, but it is definitely a toy. So is my DS, PS2, Gamecube, Gbcolor....

He may have chosen his words poorly, but his point is spot on. The Wii and PS3 are in different leagues when speaking on entertainment. They do many different things and appeal to two totally different types of consumer.

Really not anything many others haven't said before.


Really excellent point.

Though it's probably going to be buried under the general indignation at calling the Wii a toy.
