My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

SMB, SM64, ZeldaOoT etc are all famous for their groundbreaking and trendsetting gameplay. Therefore I believe it will be

Wii Sports - Motion Controls
Spore - Procedural generation and user generated content
LBP - User Generated Content
Wii Sports resort perhaps - Motion Controls
Wii Fit - The day that gaming turned mainstream

What does that have to do with anything? You think we are saying MGS4, because we think it is a pretty game?



@ Rainbird - fair point. I still disagree with you however - even though I love the game's plot and gameplay in addition to how pretty it is, I just can't see it influencing the industry enough to be considered a classic
