@RhythmAndBlues @ryan82994 Lol if Nintendo bought Liverpool, the next Wipeout game would feature curved ship designs and the weapons would be shells and mushrooms. A theme song for now reason would be heard playing when a shield is activated.
Most of what I am about to say was discussed(really) long further down the thread. In the gaming world I'm all for innovation, god knows we need it after this generation (shooters anyone?). But when the "innovative tech does not improve game play it becomes a gimmick. What matters in a game to me is the attention to detail (footprints, quality of voice acting), the story and the new and exciting ways to complete the same old objective(sweet boss battles). I fail to see how an camera(kinetic) or motion controllers improved on these features this generation. However there was one thing i did like that Nintendo did. The speakers on the Wii remote were a nice touch. Can you imagine that implemented in survival horror game ( distant screams or water dripping in the back ground). I also think they need to improve on rumble. Like add other sensations (jerk, pulses) instead of low,med, high vibration.
@abHS4L88 @xolivierx You can't compare the Wii's popularity to the PS2/PS1/SNES. People who owned those consoles genuinely loved them. While the Wii was the most pop. console in #s bought during this generation most people became uninterested in it after year 2.
@mhallbach1980 Graphics are that key component that initially draws the consumer in to buying the console and eventually specific games, but after that wears off gameplay is far more important. Far far more important than graphics. But I agree Nintendo has to offer more than just "another controller"
