It's the most wonderfull time of the generation! Anticipation for the next! Now how powerful does this thing have to be? Unless some games are tryiing to be photo realistic, will I really be able to see a step up in the praphical output? For Nintendo franchises hell yeah! But everything else? I guess I just can't see graphics getting any better. When I look at some PS360 games I almost feel like im looking at some CGI movie, in the vein of Toy Story or that dumb Final Final Fantasy movie, I would be totally satisfied with that for a good long time even now. I don't what opinions are like on the other ships but are people already asking for prettier games or is everyone more or less satisfied?
The main character, Seto, is a teen boy wearing some kind of bell-bottom vinyl dress with a huge man-purse (or fanny pack) hanging around his neck in front. Maybe this is normal in the world of anime androgyny, but it's still terrible character design.
happyastoria, I have to agree with you about Lost In Shadow. I just played through the game these past two weeks, and I actually enjoyed every minute of it. I clocked in around 13 hours. I think it's a game Greg would enjoy (despite not being incredibly challenging) and I know he has expressed interest in the title. Maybe he has already tried it. I think it's a good swan song for Hudson.
As far as the question about negativity on RFN, there are a couple of reasons why I don't perceive it as such. Comparatively, I have to say that the RFN podcast (and other NWR podcasts) is the only one these days that actually gets me excited about Nintendo games. To begin with, RFN actually talks about Nintendo games, which is more than I can say about so many others. I would rather listen to someone negatively critique a game instead of put up with ignorance. Secondly, I appreciate the critical nature of the podcast because it is informed and the crew justify their reasons. Whenever someone on another podcast says that a game sucks without proceeding to tell me why they think so, I want to turn it off.
While the podcast may take a negative turn once in a while, I think there is much more to like about the discussion itself.
happyastoria, it's very sad that you have enjoyed so few games considering that you apparently own all three major consoles. I think it has been a very good and quite interesting generation, especially with new avenues opening for smaller games to fill in gaps left by big-budget releases. I might not feel that way if I owned any single consoles or only played PC or handheld games, but I'm quite satisfied on a multi-platform basis.
QuoteI still enjoy "I Want to Hold Your Hand", but the original Zelda is something I struggled with as an 8 year old and now as a 23 year old. Jonny said Metroid is badly design and unplayable, and I think the same can be said about the original Zelda.
Even if you don't think Zelda holds up, you're talking about gameplay. Miyamoto is talking about the theme and style of the game which I just think is a silly thing to get hung up on. I agree with Perm that there is probably something lost in the translation here.
Hell, if we're going on theme, ALL of Miyamoto's games are bland. The storyline and characters in his games come across as hastily thrown together at the last minute entirely so that there is some sort of story.
I think Miyamoto is getting hung up on the theme of the game too much here. Yeah the general fantasy theme is pretty cliche but the gameplay itself was revolutionary. The sheer scope and ambition of the original game at that time was huge.
To me this is like Paul McCartney describing "I Want to Hold Your Hand" as bland because it's just a love song. It didn't change music forever because of the lyrical content. Zelda wasn't a groundbreaking game because it was a kid with a sword.
