Sorry NIN cow-fans

:(

"Me and Rob are both big Nintendo fans for a number of reasons. Nintendo approaches gaming from a prospective where Super Mario Bros. is still a ****c and doesn't look dated. Look at any game on the PlayStation 1 that tries to exceed past the terrible 3D graphics, with their look alike, sound alike franchise attempts."


"With Nintendo, there's this kind of aesthetic that they bring to their in-house games that makes them feel like art. Where they aren't trying to be something else, where they have their own place and are just what they are. I've talked with Rob about this, about why that kind of game is cool, has a timelessness to it and isn't trying to be more than what it is. If I were going to make a video game today I would not put in rendered, 3D characters that try to look human. You know, where when they talk their lips are out of sync and have this weird aliased thing going on.

"There's that Shadow Complex game, which does looks cool. Every cut scene has the eyes rendered pretty well, but there's that terrible voice acting and the characters look like Fembots."

lol

"..I'm not saying they haven't f@$%ed up a few times too, but they have this sense of here's this game, we're aware of the limitations, but we're going to make the game great with taste and integrity. Being honest, I'm not a huge fan of Sony. Their entire strategy behind the PlayStation is to focus on gaming as an experience last and getting a Blu-ray player in your living room comes first. Now, three years later they're trying to release a motion controller that's a little bit better than the Wii's."

Damn lol, this man knows his stuff

Seems pretty damn educated and interested in videogames too.

I thought it was funny Reznor cared so much about videogames. Its new to me, thought it was funny, posted it. Look past the sarcastic "PAWNING" tone of the OP and find the humor in all this.

I agree on some points, but this gen Nintendo's new IPs have been Wii Play, Wii Fit, Wii Music, and the pack-in Wii Sports which I don't care for at all.

Where's my classic games?

I used to love Nine Inch Nails in the early nineties but anyway, I don't share his point of view on this. Sony have delivered some amazing experiences of their own.

I don't agree with anything he said really.

He sorta contradicts himself too. He doesn't think ps1 could compete with the N64's graphics yet he likes Nintendo more this gen? Why should i listen to what he has to say?

Opinions from a crap arse band.

smartcriminal

The Downward Spiral proved to be a critical and commercial success. Spin magazine ranked it at number 25 in a list of "100 Greatest Albums, 1985-2005." It also ranked the album number 11 on its list of the "Top 90 Albums of the 90's". Blender named it the 80th Greatest American Album. In 2001, Q magazine selected The Downward Spiral as one of the 50 Heaviest Albums Of All Time.[20] In 2003, the album was ranked number 200 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Yeah just another crap band :roll:

Calling NiN a 'band' shows how little you know of them, and I have a hard time beliebing you would turn down a free Wii.

Way to completely miss it. He was making a point that Nintendo chooses a more artistic direction in the visuals of their games as opposed to Sony's movement toward photo realism. Anyways, I'm a big fan of NIN and Nintendo as well but I have appreciated Sony's contributions to the market. Funny article though, thanks TP.

Nobody refers Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, and The Downward Spiral as terrible. If so, you are the one who truely has terribel taste in music. I know this is off topic, but it has to be said. TDS truely has to be one of the best albums of all time without exaggeration. It's up there withThe Wall for god sakes. NIN's latest music however, yeah I'd say it sucks pretty badly.
