Miyamoto: I Would Like To Make An FPS

The most successful game designer of all time, the chief creative mind behind Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and a slew of other cultural institutions, wants to make a game a little more like Doom or Call of Duty. "I actually do kind of want to make a first-person shooter," he told me in Los Angeles last week, "but I don't have time."

The thought of him making an FPS is awesome and scary at the same time.

Despite FPS's being over-saturated, I am curious about what kind of FPS Miyamoto would make.

Just make another Metroid Prime, please.

Looks like Mario Paintball is pretty much confirmed. :P

[QUOTE="eboyishere"]Super Mario Sunshine 2 Bam, your welcome Miyamoto...and i want that check in the mail asap.Voyant

possibly? maybe?

Sounds like a new Metroid.

Who's gonna publish it?

:lol: Id like to see him try. Bless him.RR360DD

Would probably be better than the generic crap in this genre I've been seeing all gen.

Oh god, Geist 2 would be amazing. The one game that could potentially convince me to buy a Wii U (but still unlikely :P).

No, but it might not end up ripping off CoD like I see so many FPSs do these days.

Trying to incorporate a "real story" in Mario would be so misguided. Thank God people like RR360DD are not in charge.

[QUOTE="Arbiterisl33t69"][QUOTE="RR360DD"]It would probably be a giant tutorial with no voice acting, a midi soundtrack and incredibly cliche / boring story ..... :lol: miyamotoGreySeal9

[QUOTE="Arbiterisl33t69"] Lol because Mario games take themselves so seriously they try really hard to have a compelling story, right? If you're looking for good stories in games, then lol.RR360DD

Then why don't you tell us what game you're talking about?

Zelda, a series where voice acting, an epic orchestral soundtrack and deeper story would be awesome.

I'm not going to argue about the voice acting and soundtrack because I agree with that, but why does Zelda need a deeper story? The games are supposed to be like a fairy tale with a sort of simply timeless quality. I'd go as far as to say that trying to make the stories more complex or more "deep" or whatever would rob them of all their power.

Really? You think Zelda needs voice acting, I wouldn't have guessed that, but I disagree. Soundtrack is there, and I agree with the story. Although, I beat Majora's Mask the other day and I hadn't played for months, finally beat it, and I really felt a connection to that story, or at least the atmosphere, actually that happens in every Zelda game I beat, so maybe it is just part of how it tells it connects you to the world, which is what you already said so... forget about what I just typed I guess. I'll leave it there as an example.

Like the first Metroid Prime did that very well while the others didn't do that very well at all. I mean the atmosphere was there as always, be the connection to the world(s) just wasn't. I suppose this is all opinion though.

Sorry if this post seems off, or just flat out terrible. I'm really tired.

Well, as far as soundtrack is concerned, it would be nice if it was completely orchestrated. I don't think Zelda needs voice acting, but it would be nice to have it. It would be great if the other characters with the exception of Link spoke their dialogue. That being said, Zelda has powerful scenes even without voice acting.

This scene from Skyward Sword is probably the most emotionally powerful scene I've seen this gen. It's absolutely heartbreaking. The powerful parts start at 9:22 and last 'till the end of the video.

Well if he could have made Halo, he should certianly try.

I always thought of Half-Life as kind of a PC FPS made by Miyamoto. Heavy platforming, a wide variety of crazy monsters various power ups, etc.

I mean, its obvious Half-Life was influenced by Super Mario World.

Agreed. I had a feeling you were going to post the healing scene. Do you remember that side quest where you watch that couple express their love for eachother as the moon is coming down?

Hell screw Skyward Sword...Major's Mask has far superior scenes of sadness. MM is a special game...has ways of stirring emotions in you with very streamlined story telling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnOFADtAdmo

The only thing Majora's Mask has over Skyward Sword is that amazing timer, and even then Skyward Sword has motion controls, to me they are tied for my favorite Zelda games

As for voice acting, I can say I'm glad it isn't there, unfortunately I think it might be soon. I think someone who worked on Skyward Sword said something about it, maybe Eiji, or whatever, I don't have a source just remember it from the hype thread. Back to what I was saying. I watch a lot of Let's Plays, and it is frequently that for Nintendo games, since they lack voice acting, the commentator may read the text. Sometimes they do it in voices, and a lot of those times the characters tone and voice conflicts with the one I perceive. Not really a problem since it is just some video on the Internet, although there have been some that I just can't watch, it can be annoying sometimes. Now If I had to play a game where every character I am familiar with is out of that character it would probably get pretty irritating, and possibly damper my experience with the game, especially when it would be canon. Like Super Mario Sunshine, even though the only characters known there that talked were... Peach and the rest was fitting. Anyway, games like Kid Icarus: Uprising can get away with it since nobody cared before, but when you've let peoples imaginations go free and then take that away it doesn't go well.

Man what is this a paper? This is why you-- well I, shouldn't type tired.

it wouldn't be your ordinary FPS, but a mixture of rainbows, pink mushrooms and a powerful bow of love. soapandbubbles

I'm okay with this.

I can just see it now. Mario, in an attempt to save princess peach from the diabolical Bowser, shoots toadstools with a rainbow coloured "friendship gun" and then they all drink lemonade.
