The most innovative game ever and Sony made it. I know, wow.

That's right comrades! Patapon - has there ever been a more innovative game?

No.

At first I was going to write of this generation but I realized that handhelds used different generations. That doesn't actually matter, because there hasn't been a more innovative game ever.

The way it uses the rhythm genre is beyond bizzare yet completely addicting, as demonstrated in the GameSpot's 9.0 Editor Choice Award it was awarded. It was also commercially well receieved and got two sequels that went on to add online MP and other things.

It's hard to be a sequel to the most innovative game ever, but eventually Sony Japan Studios did top the original. It doesn't matter because of all the things Patapon did right while taking so many risks that paid off.

Hats off to you, Sony. You didn't dun goofed for once.

Patapon was a pretty sweet game.

You're welcome, Blab. :P

my favorite PSP game. :3

Never played it. I'd say Journey is more innovative thoughBPoole96

You're welcome, Blab. :P

I called it "Pat-upon" once and someone threatened to kill me. [spoiler] That never happened, but Patapon is cool [/spoiler]

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]blab, you manage to compete with master shake and chaz on use of hyperbole. that said, [QUOTE="MonsieurX"]Wish there was one on the PS3Blabadon

I've never played it but have always loved the way it looks.

Yes! Patapon is awesome

Some of the most original games come from Sony japan (SotC, ICO, Patapon, LocoRoco, Demon's Souls and soon to be Rain and Puppeteer). I was wondering were these masterminds where throughout this whole gen

People give too little credit to sony when it comes to originality. They can only see Uncharteds, GoWs, Killzones but forget the Flowers, the Journeys the ICOs, etc

Wish there was one on the PS3MonsieurX

I smell a Patapon HD collection.

Tru dat Blab... glad to see you finally found about it.

[QUOTE="Blabadon"][QUOTE="BPoole96"] Look up gameplay. I haven't played Journey, but trust me, this is much more innovative. Gameplay online may be hard if you can't see how the player is actually using the controls[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]

You're welcome, Blab. :P

If when you played journey you thought the main point of the game was walking on deserts and jumping you missed the whole point to it

Ok we get it by now, you hate the game to death. No need to spread your ignorance about it in every freakin thread. If the game was a sleeper hit I bet you would be all over it, or at least you wouldnt complaint so much about it. Seriously, its getting freakin annoying

I actually bought it a few days after it came out (launching at $20 was godsend), but another thread made me think of this game.Blabadon

Nice, I think the same way as you do. Patapon is pretty cool, it was the nicest thing I saw in the PSAS demo when they came out and started battling Hades.

Flower was more innovative than journey.

You guys got it all wrong... you can't talk about innovation if you're not talking about Nintendo.

Geez, get a clue!!!

What the f*ck is Patapon?

awesome. One of the few good PSP games

I think Rain could top it ... I personally didn't like patapon alot.

LOL no the most innovative game happened in 1985 -super mario bros , no one is ever gonna top that , sorry it is what made gaming what it is today as i stated in another thread if it wasnt for nintendo that sony you so speak of wouldnt exist in fact it was an disagreement between nintendo and sony that got sony in the door ,

and while that game sounds good , there are plenty more out there ,

Patapon 3 is one of the very few games I´ve played on the PSP but from the little I played it was pretty awesome,loved the title song,so good.

Love the Patapon Series... hopefully PSV will get a Patapon game soon :)

I guess devs would do something with PSV's alternative controls to further enhance the experience with Patapon titles..

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

Look up gameplay for Journey. It features walking in deserts and jumping sometimes. Real generation defining stuff. Vatusus

hi heewee....back to double post and look like an idiotic chump for least the 100th time...cant believe you actually go to the extent of making so many alts to post the same idiotic nonsense on here its rather sad.

[QUOTE="Blabadon"][QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] not really. for starters, innovation isn't quantitative. at least not to a degree you can say with such certainty that this is THE game that innovates the most. then there's the factor of innovation VS uniqueness. innovation can be seen as tackling a problem from a new perspective, creating a tool that objectively improves the experience, and influences the medium. for example, lock-on (or Z-target, as zelda baptized it). uniqueness provides you with something different from anything you've seen, but isn't necessarily an objective step forward in the medium. for example, TWEWY is an amazing, unique game, but its gameplay, while excellent and unique, doesn't really influence other games, nor should it. i could go on and on discussing semantics, but you get the idea. TL;DR: don't use absolutes so often, they lose their meaning.BrunoBRS

So, true, I used an absolute that probably shouldn't have been used, but I guess one thread is worth it.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="Blabadon"] I see what you mean, but just double check and make sure you realized I was talking about innovation, not influence. Of course, innovation is not quantitative and not objectively definable (it's even hard to define it operationally), but Patapon is there. Yes, semantics aside, I think that it can be used in cases of absolutes. Which, by the way, I agree on. That's the difference with me and Shake. I use hyperbole with logic, his weekly employment of absolutes is ridiculous. Blabadon

So, true, I used an absolute that probably shouldn't have been used, but I guess one thread is worth it.

razgriz_101

thread title does mention most innovative game ever, so his argument is legitimate.
