Forums - Nintendo - Miyamoto: games nowadays look so realistic that they all look the same

Lol @ this guy. Salty as he is. It's like he's saying every game that has people looking like people all look the same because they made people look realistic. How can anyone agree with this nonsense?

Because, obviously, when you try to do a realistic game, and you do it as realistic as possible, it's obvious that they all tend too look the same XDDDD. If you're aiming to do a realistic game, "reality" looks the same to all of us. Okey, I'm very bad explaining things, but I think you get the point. Just look at the Ubi conference if you wanna know what he's talking about. Boring as hell. 

By the way, I'm more concerned about the painfully need to put a gun, sword and similars in characters hands. It's like there are not other ways to play games without killing someone/something. I'm not talking about violence here, I don't care about that, I'm saying the gameplay tends to be the same too. Shoot, cover, kill, cover, shoot, kill. Jesus.

So instead of nintendos headlines being about their upcomeing games, right after a E3.
Its going to be about Reggie & Miyamoto's weird PR, thats not related to their own games.

Its weird...

Meanwhile if anyone mentions Sony, the first thing they ll think about is still the E3, and their upcomeing games.
After the E3 your supposed to shut up, and enjoy the good press/buzz your E3 generated, not shift focuz away from games.



I don't really get why people are saying he is upset, doing dc, or see this as PR. Sounds like he is just giving his opinion on games today. No need to attack him on that.

At least Microsoft and Sony have a good PR attitude, they are not like " others are shit, we are the best " , between that and Reggie's words on VR, nintendo is disappointing(  quite stupid when the 3D feature, which became useless), they need to fire them all , they are hurting nintendo more than anything



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

While I tend to agree with Miyamoto I think it's sort of ironic that he the game he refers to is Starfox.

Of all things Nintendo, I'm actually less impressed with what I've seen of Starfoxes visual design so far.
That's because, despite the anthropomorphic Animals, all the environments seem to go for a sort of realistic look. I think I'd have taken a lot less issue with Starfoxes graphics on reveal if it had a more distinctive visual style. Be it cartoony like Mario Kart/Captain Toad/Animal Crossing or Artsy in the way that No Mans Sky is, stylized like the Bioshock games, georgous hand drawn or cell shaded style like WWHD/child of light/Okami/Bastion, or hell, even a toy-like aesthetic like the lego games.
If they wanted to evoke this sort of retro N64 low polygon look, they should have run with that and made it more extreme, modernized it and truly used it as a style imo. As it is Starfoxes visuals are just ok, when they could be amazing.
Some of the more realistic games out there are also georgeous because of the visual design behind them like the Last of Us or Bloodborne, for example.

All in all I do agree with him though, I much pefer for a game to have a clear visual Identity.

Don´t you know that we should all attack everything they do or say because they had a bad conference on E3?

all i can say is that last guardian, horizon, no mans sky and dreams don't look the same to me.


I doubt Miyamoto, is seeing those games advertised to him. His perception of things outside of Nintendo are generally what he sees at the show floor at e3, and he most likely spends most of his time going to see big third party developers to see what they are up to. 

If thats the case he's at fault

Rainbow 6, Ghost Recon, Fifa, COD

Vs

Batman Arkham Knight, Halo 5, Fable legends, No Mans Sky, Street Fighter 5, Horizon, Unravel, Tomb Raider Legend, Metal Gear Solid V, Kingdom Hearts, Deux Ex: Humandkind divided.

If we look at games which have recently passed. Destiny, Driveclub, Little Big Planet, Sunset Overdrive, Project Spark, Ori and the Blind Forest, The Order 1886, Dragon Age Inquisition, Witcher 3, Bloodborne. He's definitely being selective.



Nintendo finally unveiled Star Fox Zero during its Digital Event that aired on Tuesday. In creating the game, Shigeru Miyamoto has said that the team decided to focus on the gameplay and a purposeful visual style. Miyamoto feels that, these days, the realistic look of games causes them to “all look the same”.

As reported by The Wall Street Journal:

In a press event Sunday, Miyamoto said that the point of Star Fox Zero is the gameplay and the visual style of the game, which is somewhat cartoony. It was made that way with a purpose. “A lot of games nowadays look so realistic that they all look the same,” Miyamoto said.

Star Fox Wii U is due out this holiday for Wii U. PlatinumGames is working with Nintendo on the game’s development.

I disagree with him, though. That's like saying all cartoony games look the same.

The irony... you realise Starfox is all about shoot/barel roll/shoot and kill, right?



Mario Galaxy looks much better and its over 7 years old...
