Forums - Gaming - Trent Reznor hates Playstation (3), loves Nintendo.

Mindblowing stuff. Now all I need to know is what Kanye West likes the best so I can make my purchases based on their preferences...

wow, this is not the views on the video game industry i would have expected from tent. i really liked his answers i just kind of expected him to be a graphics whore for whatever reason. my favorite quote:

"The nice thing about the Wii is that, if you want, you can sit back like a fat-ass and just barely wiggle your wrist to get the same gameplay effect. With all this motion-controlled stuff, there's nothing tangible anymore, you aren't touching anything, you aren't getting force feedback of any kind, and it all just seems like a tech demo. Something where you use it for a while, then go, "Just give me the controller back!""

the downward spiral was the peak for you eh?

trent can talk all he wants look it up, hes worked on more games than you or i

of his music?   nah i think i like broken more.  his talents seemed to work really well with the angsty venom style.  i think he does a really good screech...as his vocals are pretty limited.  i thought he was awesome with 1000 homo djs.

 

 

and so what about how many games he's worked on?  i've played games for 25 years.  i think i know a bit about the genre too.



art is the excrement of culture

Did you even read the interview? Because what you are saying makes absolutely no sense.

yes i did.  he castigates 3D gaming and praises the old nintendo style of animation as art.  he thinks the movement towards immersion and realism is misguided, and that the motion control phenom is mostly gimmick with little payoff.

 

isn't that what everybody got from it?

He said that games today is trying to be everything but games. He critisized the playstations for only being about getting formats into peoples homes and not focusing on gaming. He complains that the gaming industry is becoming like the music industry and only focusing on safe bets and milking gamers. He critisizes the move towards realism and immersion because such games won't be GAMES. He wants the more arcade-style gameplay back.

most importantly, he is absolutely right.



I LOVE ICELAND!

he has just shown that he is as knowledgeable about video games as he is about industrial music.

So what you're saying is that he's very knowledgeable on video games

not remotely.  no rivethead worth his salt has any use for him.  the guy hasn't done anything of merit since the downward spiral.  the fragile was very aptly named, and with teeth was unlistenably bad.   he writes lyrics for angst-ridden teens, and he has never evolved past it.  good industrial musicians trace a journey with their music.  reznor is a monument of static uninspiration.  not only that but his compositions go nowhere.

 

did you really want to get into a serious discussion of industrial music, or were you just trying to get points by saying that you are familiar with it?



He deserves a little more credit than to say he knows nothing even though I agree with you about with teeth...

All those people who ask "who is Trent Reznor" and then "oh some guy"

Kills me!

You're killing me, people!



Trent is so overrated. his music hurt my head its always about repetitive over distortion notes. and he always talk about getting banged hard and killing himself.

did i piss Trent Reznor fans off? well "I don't care. I'm used to controversy. I make a living off of it."



I totally agree with him. He put words on my thoughts.



The strength of motion controllers will be if there's a killer app that makes a person go, "Fuck yeah, all right!" That's always what it comes down to.

Couldn't have said it better myself! Now, can we have more Metroid Prime-like games please?
I'm surprised by how much he knows about video games. So... he's an artist, he understands the Nintendo-way. He gets my seal of approval!


Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Oh no, an American songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist and founder of the industrial rock musical project known as Nine Inch Nails doesn't like PlayStation!

And Shia LeBeouf doesn't like the Wii and I'm sure some famous singer/actor doesn't like the 360.

I think we should make threads for all of these people.
