Art directors usualy water down all the origionality and crazy stuff the concept artists come up with to better suit cookie cutter 'play it safe' designs and ideas that they know will sell, look cool, appeal to their 'target audeience' and keep the powers that be happy. Sotc and Okami were blessed with directors that did not care about any of this, but only to fufill their origional vision of something new and unique, not the next big $$$ blockbuster. and people seem to apreciate this.
For pure cinematic epicness, pretty must any given moment of fighting a colossi in sotc beats anything hands down imo
quite a few moments in planescape torment, trias and final boss come to mind, the great dialogue in that game realy builds up the epicness, while the high level mage spell effects are just crazy.
Deux ex 2 was evidence of this happening waay before morrowind/oblivion. sad fact is companies are going to take the route that get them the most $$$$ and that is by casualising their games and making them multi-plat. Hell bethesda could have been releasing new content for oblivion for years and years, but they ditched all that after one semi good expansion to go off making the next cash cow (fallout 3), which i shudder to think will turn out like after the washed down gameplay we had in oblivion :'(
i agree, its simple fact that the wii controler simply substitutes a responsive button press for various hand movement that are awkward and out of the way, smg could have easily substituted the spin attak motion for a simple shoulder button and be better off for it.
im positive datel do a flashcart called games and music which is a legit product you cannot pirate on and uses the ideas im talking about. anyways i sneakily edited out the illegalness from the topic :)
They could release demos, sell put all the old snes and nes/gameboy games on emulators, you can fit a ton of stuff on those 2gig micro sd cards, they even have 4 and 6 gigs available now i think, why not just make a ds cart that reads those, or have its own internal memory that you could download too?. i think they would sell real well, if not just for the fact that your whole nds game library could be on the one cart, it would basicly be like the wii shop but for the ds, it could realy drive a new indie game scene on the nds too like you see on xbox live. no internet? how about walking into a game store buy the game and then downloading it to your ds wirelessly there?
remember im talkin about a legal official nintendo product here nothing shady just incase i get modded or somethin.
