well, if I remember right, Miyamoto isn't really a big gamer. He's far more of an outdoors type person. As such, I'm not really surprised that he doesn't know much about R&C.

Super Mario Galaxy - 2.55m
Ratchet & Clank ToD - .48m
I think they'll be grinding it for a while...
I still think it's funny they made that claim when Sonic Adventure 2 had already done stuff where small spherical worlds and gravity for the last Rogue/Knuckles stage. =P
| Yojimbo said: Nice on. I liked Miyamoto better when he just ignored such things. Miyamoto "I could make Halo. It's not that I couldn't design that game. It's just that I choose not to" |
If you forget he was the guy who got Retro to do a good job on Metroid Prime, so the fact that he was the driving force behid that game kind of proves he could have made Halo, he just prefers to make deep adventure games not derivative shooters

yeah i know it doesnt sell there but, when youre creating a platform game i think you should check what your competitors are doing

I am pretty sure they don't do that. And why should they? Mario has always been the best platformer. Nintendo's Donkey Kong is the 2nd best. Maybe Crash was a distant 3rd? I only played R&C once and I didn't like it at all.
currently playing: Desktop Tower Defense (PC), Puzzle Quest (DS), Trauma Center New Blood (Wii), Guitar Hero III (Wii), Ghost Squad (Wii), Actraiser (SNES), Donkey Kong County (SNES), The Legend of Zelda (NES), Kirby's Adventure (NES)
will play next: Paper Mario (N64), Golden Axe II (Sega), NiGHTS (Wii)

Am I the only one that feels sorry for Insomniac?
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

Probably

lol, those funny insomniac's! (qué atrevidos).
Wii code: 4679-4491-5808-6319,MKWii: 4296-3394-2843; Animal Crossing Wii: 3008-1736-4670.
I haven't played the Ratchet game with these spherical worlds, so I can't really judge the merits of their claim. Could someone provide a YouTube link or something?
I'm honestly pretty surprised that Miyamoto doesn't even know about Ratchet. If I was a game developer, I'd at least try virtually every game that gets released, just to have a good as possible of an idea of where the industry is going. Then again, maybe the reason for him being so great is that he ignores everything else, and just does his own thing? =/
