Nintendo, Please Understand that Less is More

Chris Hyde: "Please understand, we appreciate all the work that Masahiro Sakurai and his team have done to squeeze so much into the game, but let us find some of it out for ourselves."

"less is more" also applies to your writing, by the way. The second half of the writeup seemed way too long to deliver a simple message.

“The gameplay formula has remained largely unchanged since it’s inception on the N64.”

You seriously believe the gameplay hasn’t changed at all in the series’ 19 years of existence?

TheUndertaker852120d ago

Nice job removing context.

“The fact Nintendo would choose to spend the best part of half an hour of a presentation on one game, which let’s face it to even the most ardent super-fan is not a game that NEEDS much explaining. The gameplay formula has remained largely unchanged since it’s inception on the N64. There’s only so much you can say about a 2D brawler where you try and knock people off the screen to win, right?”

Lol it hasnt... the fighting mechanics, modes, ect are virtually the exact same... sure little things have updated and changed but the core game is exatly the same. Exactly like the 6 or 7 god of war games weve gotten until gow ps4... sure you could say each game added this or that or different weapons, different bosses, and different cut scenes... but the games were very similiar and very stale and played out... and then came gow ps4 which almost completely changed things up. Smash Bros NEEDS a reboot.

Razmiran2120d ago

Im guessing you never played Smash Bros

TheFirstClassic2120d ago

The different smash games all control and feel fairly different, the concept is the same though and we definitely didn't need that much e3 time.

Sirk7x2119d ago (Edited 2119d ago )

Reboot into what? A different fighting game? Smash is one of the very few fighting games that's drastically different than the rest of the 2D games out there. How does one reboot a fighting game anyways without stripping away its identity? Let's give Smash health bars and have it play like Street Fighter lol. Riveting.

FallenAngel19842120d ago

@ Under

Even with context it’s still blasphemous to say the gameplay hasn’t changed at all since 1999 regardless how much it was showcased at the conference

In what world is having less game contents good?

superchiller2120d ago (Edited 2120d ago )

Yeah Smash has been rehashed to death, seems like Nintendo has trouble coming up with new ideas. They take a single game like Mario and Zelda, and beat it to death with sequels and upgrades. By now most people just don't care anymore, time to move on.

Prince_TFK2120d ago

“By now most people just don't care anymore, time to move on.”

How would you change your tune comes December when Smash become the best selling game of the month?

Question_Mark2120d ago

He’ll never change his tune. He’s a broken, ignorant record on everything about Nintendo.

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb19816h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

thorstein5h ago

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.

Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition Reneges on Promised Content Behind $250 Price Tag

The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.

Christopher19h ago

$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?

SimpleDad10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
