Forums - Nintendo - Miyamoto response to Insominiac Spherical World Claim -> Is that a PC Game?

krik on 14 December 2007

Funny that such a game designer icon does not know who Insomniac is and never heard of R&C. It's just sad.

Optimistic predictions for 2008 (Feb 5 2008): Wii = 20M, PS3 = 14M, X360 = 9.5M

Why should he know insomniac, they've yet to do anything really noteworthy, their games are good, but not classics

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

@kirk--he has never really been up on what the other guys are doing, he goes his own way and makes the kinda games he cares for---the only ime you need to know what the other guy is doing is if you are trying to one up them..thats not his style he just makes the game

Haha. Nicely done for Miyamoto. but doesn't it just make sense to have spherical worlds? I mean.. planets are shaped that way.

 Yeah, that's the real problem with any "OMG COPYCAT!" claim for game design. I mean, everyone is copying the universe in some way shape or form, right?



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.
