So I guess Nintendo really is destroying gaming...

assuming this is actually true.

Mario 64 is the sucks because its controls were simple and for both casual and hardcore gamers.

I hope if this is true people don't turn it into another Raven Blade.
If the game was canceled it's most likely just because it wasn't turning out any good. Just like Raven Blade probably wasn't.
But for whatever reason when a game like this is canceled there are always people who suddenly believe it was to be the greatest masterpiece of our time that we were cruelly denied. If the game is all that great it will be released. If not then we know we're not missing much.

It looks like that's already happening. Where was all this Project Hammer love before today?

In the original thread shortly after E3 there were many, including myself, that seen potential in the game. Not sure anyone is saying it was going to be a masterpiece but it could have turned out to be a decent game.

Oh yeah to those freaking about the more accessible thing I only have two words for you

2007 is a very very packed holiday season for stellar titles on Wii. My concern for a while is whats happening in 2008 because there will be not-so-jam-packed-sexeh-gaming-goodness ... i'm hoping this merely has been delayed until then.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what to think about this rumor.
I was never really excited about Project H.A.M.M.E.R., it just looked like a basic beat-them-all kind of game. Kind of generic too.

Ceric · « **Reply #58 on:** June 15, 2007, 03:39:33 AM »

After how this holiday season is shaping up I can't see how there won't be a drought at the beginning of the year.

Wasn't Raven Blade canceled because Metroid Prime wasn't turning out any good?

"Wasn't Raven Blade canceled because Metroid Prime wasn't turning out any good?"

Supposably Nintendo wanted them to focus on MP for that reason.
But if anything it's assumed that neither game was doing all that well early on and Nintendo decided the only way to get things into shape was to kill one project and have them focus full attention on the other. I think they made the right call.

I can't imagine having a drought in early 2008 unless I somehow manage to buy all those holiday 2007 games and beat them before the new year.

PLUS, there will be games that miss their holiday date and just overflow naturally into 2008 on a delay.

And usually that would make sense. But just look at Nintendo's release schedule, they're already making a pretty big push for the casual market with scores of casual games. If this rumor is true and they're canceling gamer games to free up resources for more casual games, and tampering with traditional games to make them more "accessible"...well, that's plenty of reason for a gamer to be ticked off. And besides, it's Nintendo, I'm sure most people would have rather they made an attempt to make the game great (like they do with most of their franchises) than just cut it and work on more casual titles.

Agreed. It's very worrisome to me. However the proof is in the pudding, and until I see or hear that this is happening, I won't go ballistic.

Agree. Though I'm talking in terms of things physically released.

Interestingly enough, the XBox 360 has had a pretty good spring '07 after a very, very, very bad spring '06 drought.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #66 on:** June 15, 2007, 11:47:59 AM »

Xbox 360 hasn't had that good of a spring, maybe a couple big games but most are throw aways.

Yeah! The Wii got great AAA titles like... uh... Super Paper Mario and... well the PS3 got...hmm... A couple big titles is fair for spring.

Kairon · « **Reply #68 on:** June 15, 2007, 12:18:18 PM »

Crackdown, Lost Planet(January release), GRAW(?), for the XBox 360 this spring... and what else?

that Baby guy · « **Reply #69 on:** June 15, 2007, 12:27:06 PM »

Meh, I think all three systems have had poor Springs. With Summer just arriving, the Wii and 360 are going to/have already start/started to receive a little bit more support, but as far as I know, the PS3 is completely unremarkable, which is what makes it so remarkable.

I think both are going alright, but both droughts are partially because so many publishers and devs wanted to wait and see the Sony vs. Microsoft initial results, and the few remaining had finally completed a game, or were making something separate from the rest of the gaming world for the Wii.

In short, I'm blaiming Sony for this drought.

Paper Mario, WarioWare, Godfather, Sonic (well that is debatable) to name a few of the AAA Wii titles. The point is that Xbox 360 has been around for a year and it should have had a more impressive showing while the Wii has only been out for a few months. PS3 is even sadder though when it comes to droughts.

According to the IGN article Project Hammer was playable at it's debut.
Nintendo must have spent some time developing this game.

About Nintendo switching resources to make more casual games, believe it.
Many developers have already taken this view with the Wii. Look Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii.

According to the Famitsu video interview, UC was suppose to have RE4 style gameplay.
It was changed to the current style(Dead Aim/Survivor) so it would be more
accessible to non gamers.

Nintendo is leading the way for the industry to shift to casual gaming.
I hope you enjoy the ride.

PS- NST's first game was a GBC port of the best SNK game ever made, Crystalis.
