et tu Shigeru? Like we don't have enough FPS's. If he does get to making one, just please don't let it end up being another gritty gun fest.

No, it was a First-person Metroid. All the hallmarks of the series were there. The exploration and the discovery of new weapons and powers to use to discover new areas and get further in the game were still the key focuses to the gameplay. It may have been in first-person, but it was still a Metroidvania in every other respect.

And the main mechanic of the game was as much scanning as it was shooting.

Hey Moviebob! See this here?
Did you even read the story? It sounds like he is more interested in the exploration aspect of what fps games used to be instead of the set pieces they mostly are now.
Still won't work for all the Nintendo fans who say first person shooters are inherently bad.

Hint: MovieBob.
You do realize he never said that, right?
Actually, he has in fact said exactly that. I can direct you to an episode of his Screwattack show "The Game Overthinker" called "Worst Person." I think it was episode 40-something, but I might be wrong. Go watch it, see his full view on the FPS genre, and tell then decide how you feel about his opinion, but he does end it quite inusltingly to people who like fps games (although it was done with comic exaggeration, so it didn't really bother me).
I just watched it. He doesn't say he hates shooters, they just don't interest him, and he doesn't like a lot of the changes in Gaming culture that have come as a result of the genre's dominance.

I do think he will likely have mixed feelings over this, though.

I insist.

People complaining about Nintendo "making the same games over and over again", just look at your shelf of games, heck, just look at the game that's on your disc tray right now and tell me wich one has guns and the classic 3 colors of grey, brown and black?, heck, how many of those games start with a "Call" and ends with "Duty"?. And tell me how many changes has those games had over the span of 4 to 5 years?.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I actually had a nerdgasm at the very thought of Miyamoto making a first person perspective game himself.
I don't think it'll necessary be a shooter, much less something to remotely do with military forces or generic space marines.

But if it is a shooter, he'd better hire Retro Studios for the job or just tell them to make another Metroid game in first person perspective.

Uhh... That adds up to about... four. Out of forty five. Only counting PS3 and Steam.
That what you thought?
Something tells me it isn't.

I think he meant the whole exploration focus, rather than regular linear level-by-level style
which wasn't all that unique tbh, console Powerslave/Exhumed and even Hexen already had it =P

FPS focus with an emphasis on exploration, use of perspective and immersion? Sounds like it has promise. I like many FPS', even the more generic ones can be fun (CoD, BF etc) but I dunno, I do often feel that they don't make full use of the first person perspective and how immersive that can be, how much it limits your sight too.

Bioshock did use some interesting stuff with it but the emphasis there was more on the aesthetic and getting you to believe than anything else, I'm sure games have tried to use it for other things, I just can't think of any that have succeeded.

I dunno, could be terrible, probably will be if it ever happens. Could be nice.
I doubt they'll let him off the leash to do anything fun though...

Yes I do know Mario does got violence for stomping his enemies and Legend of Zelda did got FPS element with the bow and arrow (Star Fox was more like a shoot them up).
However consider what most FPS are like these days (Halo, Call of Duty, Gear Of War, Left 4 Dead, Serious Sam, Borderland, Fallout 3, Bullet Storm and etc and etc) I cannot grasp the idea of them doing a FPS like those unless it was quite kiddy in a way.
Well the Metroid Prime series are considered first party titles, and probably some of the best fps'es I've ever played. Right up there with Half-Life. Apparently, Miyamoto also had a hand in those, though not to the extent of mario and zelda of course.

You don't need blood to kill peeps.

The Metroid game actually got pretty graphic, what with all the firing off alien body parts to expose organs gushing with blue or green fluid, the excruciatingly detailed descriptions in scans of how corpses you find died, blowing up a giant womb, fighting possessed corpses, and various other, usually phazon-based, body horrors.
True I guess since I have played and loved the Prime series but wouldn't the alien fuild you just shot would consider to be blood will alien blood?
I guess I can't picture Miyamoto, the creator of Mario to consider making a proper FPS game per say as he always seen games to be fun and playful and not violence like most FPS game. I mean I think it would be similar to Timesplitter as that game was fun and playful while you still kill things in that game.
Legend of Zelda not violent? Despite the amount of sword-slashing going on?

Honestly, I'd be happy to have interesting enemies to fight, instead of just Dudes with Guns.

To be fair, it was a naturally evolution of the early sidescrolling metroid games, which, among a few other games, pretty much invented nonlinear gameplay.

You know, it's called metroidvania for a reason ;).

And not even a full minute into the video that you submit as evidence of MovieBob hating FPS games (about 50 seconds in, if we're keeping track): "I don't hate first person shooters". gg

also in the words of Yahtzee, it's literally half the word =P

To anyone complaining about Miyamoto wanting to make an FPS, he's already has one under his belt.

Hmm, none and i own 22 ps3 games where 3 of them are first person shooters(Resistance 1+3 and Wolfenstein). Then there´s shadows of the damned and vanquish, which could also be considered shooters. The rest i different stuff (and no, it isn´t madden either^^).

And i wouldn´t exactly call nintendo innovators when it comes to software, last big thing they did was Mario Galaxy. Rest seems to be throwbacks and iterations of wellknown concepts (maybe bigger iterations than Call of duty? i couldn´t say, as i haven´t played any call of duty games since the first one).
Lastly, a nintendo Fps could be interesting, atleast it would be something they haven´t done in a while.

Semantics. He still doesn't say what you think he says in that video. All he says (essentially) is that the FPS genre has grown stagnant; and it has. And this is coming from a person who's favorite games list includes titles like Serious Sam, Fallout 3, and Half Li- well, basically anything from Valve, really. ;P And let's not forget Deus Ex, Killing Floor, and a number of other FPS titles that would be hard to remove from a "Top 10 Favorites" list for me.

Face it, the last time the FPS genre had any innovation was when someone said "Hey, what if it took a realistic amount of bullets to kill someone?" And that was over a decade ago! That doesn't make them "inherently bad", a phrase which is never said through-out that entire video*, by the way, Mr. "Don't put words in my mouth". It just means that they aren't really doing anything. So if you weren't into FPS titles 10 years ago, what's changed that maybe you'll want to check them out now?

*Edit: Okay, so after rewatching the video, he does say "inherently flawed", however he isn't talking about FPS's, he's talking about the first person perspective in general not really working for anything outside of Shooters (not counting games where you just look at stuff).

I say Shigeru should go for it. Whether or not he creates yet another gaming revolution is irrelevant. The man has paid his dues many times over, and he's entitled to experiment at this point.
