Perhaps he took my advice on taking a break. He gets so worked up in the Nintendo threads that he could possibly snap, and he's only one strike away from a ban so I said that perhaps he should take a break from the site so as to not get in trouble.Dragonbums said:Actually, I haven't seen Jeffers in quite a bit.
OT: No, they aren't holding back the industry. I actually applaud them for at least maintaining their focus on children since Sony and Microsoft don't really do that as much, although it wouldn't hurt to branch out of their safety zone from time to time. Sony does have more games aimed at children though than MS does and I kinda wish that they would do more. Mainly I want more cartoony like games like how we used to have back in the 5th and 6th generation. It seems that the 7th Generation was all about "realism" and it was really a bummer. Although Mark Cerney's new game, Knack, looks promising because anything that man seems to work on turns out being really good. (He was on the team for Sonic 2, the Crash Bandicoot games, the Spyro games, the Ratchet and Clank games, the and Jak games)
Mainly here's what I want from this new generation.
Nintendo: Give me some Star Fox, F-Zero, and more Kirby as you can never have enough of that glutenous pink ball that I swear is just Majin Buu only melted down. Oh and GameCube games on your eShop once you link purchases to an account instead of the console.
Sony: Give me a new Ape Escape that's like how the old ones were, or update the first one as that would be nice; give me MediEvil 3 as it was hinted at in an ending in PS Allstars; keep strong with JRPGs because honestly out of all three companies they have always had the strongest JRPG line-up.
Microsoft: ...no comment on this one.
Oh, and as a mandate for all of the companies: More Platformers! Specifically ones by Wayforward would be nice!
