you'd think as a developer he'd at least look at his competition. Khanezhyray

R&C doesn't sell well enough for him to consider it competition - why would he look at it?

How pathetic of Insomniac to suggest that an industry behemoth like Nintendo would "use their ideas". :lol:Erkidu
Just because Nintendo is bigger than insomniac doesn't mean it is in any way better. Both are good devs, but nintendo has been relying on its zeldas and marios for too long, maybe a new IP wouldn't hurt. However shame on Miyamoto for not doing research, I mean R&C is a platformer and pretty good competition, next thing you know he won't know what Sonic is.

Spheres and Circles are the same thing right?

I reckon you're slow enough not realize thats a 2D game....meaning all things represented on a 2D platform are naturally supposed to mimick its 3D counterpart.

Thats obviously a WORLD (which is a spherical body) being represented in a 2D game. So in this case, you're wrong....A "circle" ISNT being portrayed here but a sphere, which is READILY apparent due to the spherical shading going on in the picture.

If you wanted to be so naive to bring that up I could point out to you how ANYTHING represented on a screen is in fact something 2D, thats gives an illusion of 3D. (even photographs n00b)

Because FACT is NOTHING is truly 3D except for real world items.

Nice try though.

I'm a furniture and product designer so i know a thing or 2 about shapes, that is a circle mimmicking a sphere but it is not actually a sphere it has no volume and you can't go in any direction around that circle in the screenshot, nice try though.

Just because Nintendo is bigger than insomniac doesn't mean it is in any way better. Both are good devs, but nintendo has been relying on its zeldas and marios for too long, maybe a new IP wouldn't hurt. However shame on Miyamoto for not doing research, I mean R&C is a platformer and pretty good competition, next thing you know he won't know what Sonic is.

He Doesn't play videogames much and also he would know what Sonic is being that Mario and Sonic appeared in the same game this year and he was a Supervisor on that game.

Also Nintendo has alot of New IPs it is just when they make new IPs people that are fanboys against Nintendo always ignore the new IPs and just keep saying all there is is Mario, Legend of Zelda, and Metroid.

Indeed, Nintendo has made several new IPs in the past couple of years, like Pikmin and Animal crossing.

No wonder the plot lines in Miyamoto's games never change. He never leaves his house. I wonder what else he doesn't know. "Shigeru..this is a cell phone..it does magical things like make phone calls."

I believe their were 4 R&C games on the PS2 and now one on the PS3 and one on the PSP.

You do realize they created Resistance FOM. They made a new IP before returning to R&C.

And I don't get why you bring up Jak and Daxter. Thats a Naughty Dog game, who also made a new IP, Uncharted Drakes Fortune.

And that is why Im 99% sure that you are a fanboy. Saying that Nintendo's new IPs are failures when one of them (AC) has an 8.6 and an 8.1 in the series. And the other one (Pikmin) an 8.9 and a 9.2.

Like what, not all japanese devs are good you know. As a developer he should take interest, it is his field of work, it is very stupid not to pay attention to competition. R&C games are very good.

Miyamoto needs to be slaped just as hard if not harder, how many princesses has mario saved over the years? Sheep to Miyamoto = Lemms to Bungie, I swear this is getting funny.

if we're talking a 2D game and a 3D game then yes (it's very simple stuff). The main thing though is the gravity based gameplay, this is proof that nintendo thought of it before the hacks at insomniac

Can-o-Mark

Why can't one of their new IP's be as cool as Mario Galaxy? Instead its stuff that doesn't interest me in the least and I love weird niche titles! Or when they do create something neat..like project hammer..it gets canceled..and replaced with Wiifit or some other crappy new idea. I guess its too much to ask for new IP's to be cool? I want to visit other worlds, I wanna be different cool characters in those worlds, instead...I'm doing chores for money...or replaying lemmings? Gimme a break. Video games are an escapist fantasy. Be something you can't be in the real world. Go where you can't as you work 5 days a week.Those games offer no such thrill.

As for the fanboy comment, I'll let that one go, I'll just go home and play each one of my consoles for about an hour each and then laugh at the guy who thought I was a fanboy.

Careful, doubting the all mighty Miyamoto will get you modded. Just nod your head...and smile politely.

Yeah laugh all you want, but when someone passes off their opinion as fact, its usuallya fanboy. But you were a bit clearer with your last post, and guess what? Nintendo isnt just their to serve you. Pikmin and Animal Crossing are in general considered to begreat games. And just because you dont like em. Does not mean Nintendo cant come up with good new IPs.

Yes i was thinking of that but i couldn't find a picture.
You know, i think they all thought of it first, cause they didn't look at each others spheres.
They're all too different for that.

Whatever TC. Miyamoto is a genious and all his ideas come from his imaginative mind. I doubt Miyamoto even looks at other games on other systems to compare.

He's never looked at the competition. He keeps himself pure that way. Did he try to fill Mario full of 'tude and get him in shape? Of course he didn't, he sent him back in time to meet Yoshi and defeat Kamek! If anything, the competition looks at Miyamoto.

It's obvious Miyamoto did very much so knew what Rachet and Clank is, he was obviously just trying to make Isominiac look stupid and downgrade there game. I mean why the heck would he ask "Is it a PC game" when PC is the worst system to find platformer.

Unless he's completely stupid or uneducated about gaming an is stuck is his little Mario world.

Again, has he ever paid attention to the competition? He does not EVER DO SO, for doing so would taint his games. He stays true to his principles and defines the industry. Besides, Insomniac did not do the idea first. Ever hear of Yoshi's Island? That had spherical worlds too, you know. So did Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
