Finally I have Respect For Reggie On This One.

And I can counter Reggie's argument, From OOT to Twilight Princess, what changed? Temple, find item, use item to kill boss, boss dies in three hits. That's been the Zelda formula forever! Yet each Zelda is still epic as ever.

Mario Games? Jump on guys, jump on some more guys, and jump on some more guys, and oh wait! Now we get to do it in outer space! HOO-RAH! Yet, I am still stoked for Super Mario Galaxy.

Mario Kart games? They are all still easy as hell, and have the same 50cc, 100cc and 150cc, a battle mode, and maybe we might get an online mode? Ok that's the same as multiplayer. Yet I still play it, and it's fun as hell.

And don't even get me started about Pokémon. It's the same battle system, same weakness', and damn near everything, they add new Pokémon here and there, but that's just because of the show. Yet, I've played many Pokémon games (over and over, might I add) because they're fun!

Reggie doesn't realize, Nintendo is the biggest user of the "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" method, not Bungie.

No just no, on top of him being wrong about Halo 3 not being a system seller. Dumb.

Goldeneye was amazing in its day and opened a door for FPS on consoles, Halo came along and blew that door down along with the rest of the wall. Its become generic now because its what every other console FPS has strived to be since Combat Evolved.

Goldeneye is a classic but has aged incredibly badly along with Perfect Dark. Blurry to look at, poor performance and clunky controls by todays standards. Halo won't suffer this problem nearly as much as it refined and improved everything Goldeneye accomplished whilst still looking smooth.

Now we're starting to see new games expand the genre like Bioshock and more will follow. Considering the amount of rehashed Nintendo franchises this man has no room to talk.

[QUOTE="Grive"]Actually, I lost a LOT of respect for Reggie after that quote. He used to kick ass and take names... that quote was on a low level even for uneducated fanboys or sony executives.mjarantilla

Read the article and point to me where he compares Halo 3 to GoldenEye, because you can't. TC was being intentionally misleading.

And you tell me exactly WHERE did I mention any such comparison, because your can't.

My comments were exclusively regarding his denying H3 being a system seller, along with lumping all FPS into a single standard category, and then claiming lack of innovation or even evolution in the genre.

It was a very stupid comment, and well beyond borderline hypocritical. Reggie is one of the most respectable public faces for a console maker in the medium (not that there's a lot of competition around...). Such petty comments should be below him. I mean, it's the kind of idiocy Kutaragi, or Tretton would have said.

Yeah, I get that he feels the need to talk down the importance of Halo 3 in the industry right now, but to say it's not a system seller is crazy; it'll sell more systems than any two Wii games. I work at an urban Best Buy, and the day Halo 3 came out, 360s were flying off the shelves, along with controllers and XBL subscriptions. So there goes the cow rumor that people who wanted Halo 3 already had 360s, and there goes Reggie's comments. Maybe he should worry more about getting quality games out on the Wii, and less about the quality games on other systems.
