see n64 tried to compete with ps1 by attempting to be more adult and "edgy", but you knew it was still run by genius' like miyamoto, crazy disney esque people that had created this worlds out of their own imagination! but there was no room for shigsy in the ps1 world ffs. what there is room for now is the lone bedroom guy who has some really innovative ideas for puzzle games. thats great but what gaming really needs is artistic people. artistic not in the fucking drawing musclebound superheroes with big guns type way. thats just homoerotic idiocy. artistic in that mad way that zelda was.
miyamoto was initially resistant to having violent games on the n64 at all. and this seemed to happen more due to the fact ps1 was starting to trounce them and they knew they needed to get with the times. but miyamoto envisioned gaming as a family thing. bless him, he really pushed hard to turn gaming into something that would include the whole family. wii is i guess the fruition of this dream of his but at the same time how much does it really get played beyond everyone at xmas 2 years ago for the novelty value.
whats weird about gaming is that its mostly the stuff that seems the most childish that is actually the best. its the opposite of cinema, were the family friendly happy feelgood movie is always utter fucking shite.
anyway. everybody go play amnesia the dark descent for the pc. and buy it because the developers really deserve the money on this one. do it.
