yea arcade racers with real physics that were fun didnt really exist before motorstorm. 3d communities which are for communitypurposes only (unlike second life) havent existed. yay for generic looking game from everyone #100000000 that only tries to look real. nothing has artistically impressed me since okami before folklore. please show me otherwise. Cause ms doenst have halo the third big console fps (after goldeneye and perfect dark). console online never really existed before live. ms is branching out, slowly but surely. but they do have unbelievably tight roots in western rpg's and fps which is hurting them as sales will show you. i never said the wiimote is boring tech, I just said you guys make it seem like the second coming of jesus when its already in a video game console. It has an absolutely horrid design and button placement. the only good thing it does is put the b button in a good place, but that was so hard. I never said that all ms and sony stuff is new. halo 3 for sure isnt. ratchet isnt. heavely sword doesnt seem that way. they, sony more than ms, are trying new stuff, but at elast both are trying. wii sports is so boring. Oh, I know! let's take all these sport game that are trying to be fun and realistic and tone them down it the absolute minimum. people are so stupid that its all they could handle. genius! its so much more fun to, you know, play the sport (except bowling, but i didnt play that yet). i guess as a video gamer you seem to never have been outside. most other video gamers have, you should try it. |
Erm, yes they did. Unless all my time playing Daytona, Sega Rally, Need for Speed, Ridge Racer, Project Gotham, etc were just a dream? I'm sorry, of all games you can claim are innovative, Motorstorm has to be the absolute worst pick of the lot. It is a simple arcade racer, nothing more, nothing less. A game that has been done thousands of times in many different variations. Nothing new about it.
3d communities which are for community purposes only? You mean like second life? Oh no, apparently it doesn't count... Of course, any game can be innovative if you ignore the games that came before it. Please explain how Home is different to second life in some incredbly innovative new fashion? Oh wait, you can't. Because it's not.
As for folklore, there are plenty of games with artistic merit. Wind Waker is a prime example. I believe it is the best looking game ever made. Personal opinion, just like you say about folklore. To me, Folklore looks a lot like Neverwinter Nights. Of course, that's personal opinion. But claiming that it's innovative is almost as ridiculous as Motorstorm.
Yes MS has Halo, so what? Just another FPS. They have live? So what? It existed before, MS just brought it to the consoles. Of course, online consoles existed before the Xbox, remember the Dreamcast? Yes, that's right, it had online play. MS is branching out, slowly but surely, but Nintendo has already branched out and has its fingers in more genres than any other company and is creating new ones all the time.
I still don't get what your point is. You are here not arguing the original point of the thread, but you say that Nintendo doesn't innovate. And pointing to Motorstorm as an example of how Sony does? How are these games more innovative than Wii Sports, Brain Training, Pikmin, Animal Crossing?
Oh of course, the random "Wii Sports is simplistic" attack. Oh and then the "nerdy white guy who never goes outsde" attack. Hey, look, you were there saying how good Home is, and now you're saying Wii sports is bad because real tennis is better? Am I the only one who sees how stupid this is? You can go outside and be human and talk to other people in the real world! No need to do it on your PS3! ZOMG USELSESS!!! Here's a hint, many games are based on things you can go out and do in the real world, yet they sell anyway. If you don't like Wii sports, then good for you. Claiming that Motorstorm is somehow newer and more innovative has to be one of the stupidest things I have seen coming out of any post on this forum (and that includes some of the doozies that Blue3, larry et al put out).
Funnily enough, Wii Sports IS genius. after all, it's the main reason why the Wii is the fastest selling console in video games history. Yes, I have played all the sports that feature (well, I've played mini-golf), but I don't have a tennis court in my backyard. So if you want to go and insinuate that I've never been outside due to the fact that I enjoy Wii Sports (like many others), then go ahead, if it makes you happy. But you're kidding yourself if you think it's somehow not new.
