@dalua360 Stupid would hardly describe someone that was one of the heads of the xbox division through a period where its user-based grew 8x, and was able to sell people on that Kinect stuff. Not to mention his work with the Sims. We may not like him, but one must acknowledge that somehow this guy does know how to make money.
@Bellum_Sacrum @bjvill @stan_boyd actually, that's why i put that quote there. This particular exchange between "change up the formula" VS "see how people hated the change to the formula" is exactly the dilemma that Aonuma is talking about. So it seems they are struggling to find that balance point where a new game for an established IP is both fresh and true to its roots. And that gets harder with each successive game and with fan-base growth.
@tension22 yep, the bears then... they didn't need no cheek-spikes or razor-collars, and paw hooks, and all that knifery ya straps to them now.... that's why i can't stand the pits now. You don't know what you've missed.
