[QUOTE="habkeinbock"]

only because you moving your wrist instead of your legs too do some action doesnt make flower more a game ! you also have objective in wii fit and you can DIE in wii fit :P but it doesnt mean i cant enjoy flower or wii fit :P

PUG_NASTY

if im correct...wiifit tells u an exercise and u do it....its basically a personal trainer. in flower u collect petals and use them to rejuvinate the land...there is a purpose that lies solely in the game itself....wiifits PURPOSE is exercise.....so guess what...although i dont think wiifit is a game...that doesn't mean the periferal cant b used in games likes raving rabbids or skiing etc.

Perhaps you should learn something about WiiFit before you mischaracterize it.

[I wouldn't call the skiing, snowboarding, or other games exercise].

Let's hope you learned more about flower before claiming to know all about it.

[QUOTE="AirGuitarist87"][QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]I'm sorry but how did Wiifit get into this discussion :?habkeinbock

Because, like WiiFit, you can't headshot and it doesn't run on the Unreal 3 Engine.

im not sure about the unreal3 engine in wiifit but .......

for me it looks like an headshot !!

Unless his head explodes in a spectacular array of blood, bloom and skull fragments, that's not a real headshot! :x

So now different experiences that expand our scope of what games can be are jokes? Every entertainment medium has pushed boundaries, and that is how they grow and evolve. I applaud Sony for supporting this as much as I do MS releasing Braid. We need more games that look to go beyond what has been done, in every area of game design, IMO, if gaming is to become a universal entertainment medium.

Why compare wii fit to flower? We all know which one is better in a trash versus interactive art battle.

habkeinbock

how can you say one is better than the other ? wiifit and flower are 2 completely different things.

its like saying apples are better then cars :roll:

i could live with out cars, but not apples.

I think Flower is really underrated. It truly is something unique different and amazing at the same time! It's the best 10 bucks i have ever spent on a game! Seriously even hardcore players love this game I know lots of people who play COD4 L4D and others all the time and when they got this game or I showed it to them they all loved it, and felt so relaxed playing it, that is truly something amazing to make you feel emotions in a game.

[QUOTE="PUG_NASTY"][QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"]

You console gamers are really funny.

Before - PC gaming is a hassle because you have to install to the hard drive and it takes forever!

After - You can install this console game to the hard drive now so it loads faster, and that's great!

Before - I hate patching games, it's also a big hassle.

After - I love DLC on the consoles now, because it adds new stuff to the games and fixes glitches!

Now this: Before - Indie games don't matter for PC, therefore they shouldn't count in system wars.

After - Flower is the best indie game ever made and I'm going to defend it to the last stand! Very funny.

u know what else is funny?...ive never said any of that. gah pc elitists annoy me more than anyone on SW

Agreed, I've never said any of that either and for the record I think installing games on consoles is not that great aside from cutting down on noise. I never had a gripe with PC gamers until coming to system wars, fortunately no one in my circle of gaming friends is one. On topic, Flower is a pretty good game. I recommend it to any smot pokers out there.

looks pretty cool. but personally it wouldn't be a game i bought since i don't see myself playing it much. I see it more like an interactive art piece than a game.

I think of Flower as an interactive movie more than a game, but that isn't saying it's bad. It's good for the first playthrough but I will probably never play it again unless it is to show someone else.

And it would be fine as WiiWare.



But it's not Wii Ware. In fact, it's an innovative motion controlled game made by Sony. How funny is that?

Er, LostWinds? Given you play simultaneously as the boy, but the Wiimote motions act as the wind as well.

Makes me wish we had more games based on wind mechanics, as Flower and LostWinds are two of my favorite games this generation.

Why do people hate on things that have never been done before.

These developers want to actually do something different and creative.

We should be encouraging them to do more games with original ideas,

especially this gen, where 75% of the games are shooters.

In Lost Wind you're in control of wind as well. but more to the point this is basically tilt to control which way something goes. be it a petal, car, person, or mario on a ray.

I agree it does look like a unique experience. it would be really cool if it could play your mp3s and move the wind based off the music. would be pretty relaxing to have in the background.

First of all, it's 'to' not 'too'. Second of all, it is a wonderful game, which features terrific gameplay. Just because you're the 'wind' instead of some snarling, bald, macho protagonist doesn't exclude it's classification as interactive entertainment. To hear you talk, it's as though Flower is tantamount to Folding at Home, or something like that. It's not... it's an honest to goodness game. And it's gorgeous to boot. I take it you havn't played it.

The review at gametrailers said that the game lasts one (!) hour. Yes, that would indeed be a joke, even for a downloadable game. I'd rather go to the cinema and get twice the entertainment for half the price.

Maybe if you go to the dollar theater in your town's dirt mall it would be cheaper.. When I go to the movies, it's $30 for me and my lady after you include all the snacks and such. Don't knock Flower if you havn't tried it... it's great. Best PSN game out there, and a real feather in Sony's cap.

It's unique and relaxing but I think it should have some form of depth to it. It needs a proper obstacle and objective. Sonic comes to mind. Don't ask what's the correlation between 3D Sonic and Flower, I don't know. That's the vibe I get from Flower.

All games don't have to be derivative. Just because Flower is new and different doesn't mean that it isn't even a video game.
