Comments on: Is There a Place Left for Innovation ? http://www.ps3blog.net/2011/07/18/is-there-a-place-left-for-innovation/ Thu, 23 May 2013 11:54:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Pedro http://www.ps3blog.net/2011/07/18/is-there-a-place-left-for-innovation/#comment-320007 Pedro Thu, 21 Jul 2011 12:22:02 +0000 http://www.ps3blog.net/?p=47411#comment-320007 Motion control (be that the Wii, Move or Kinect) is still a fairly new technology so we should expect great breakthroughs here, just give it time. Just think about how many years it took so we could have games like * add whichever games you really liked and thought were great in the last couple of years here *, so I'd say it's just a matter of time before some really cool things start to pop, but it necessarily requires investments and research, that's the most important thing. And don't compare Innovation to a random collection of things, that doesn't make sense, that's just bad design. There's nothing innovative about changing pizza toppings, it's like using skins and changing textures in a game, that's just recycling.

But as it is now it's just a gimmicky toy. And speaking of innovation, the newest Innovation I can think of is Kinect and/or Wii. And you know what? THEY SUCK. I don't need new ideas as long as I'm having a great time with the old ones. If I like Pizza, and somebody is offering the newest "WHEAT GERM PIZZA" It sucks. I'll stick to normal pizza. Innovation isn't always good. What about PS3 Fat? "New Innovation" was more hard drive space and smaller system. But the slim SUCKS compared to the fats. Hotter, no PS2 Compatiblity, less USB card reader slots, and not sexy gloss finish. What about NEW CGI back in the day? That stuff looked horrible! And yea they got it right after awhile, but I still love the look of a good ol Predator/Alien suit.

We get one cool game that does motion contol justice then we get about 100 crappy games that trying too copy that one game. I will say this though, and this is my own opinion. If M$ pushes the capability with Kinect it would be the greatest motion controller yet. Just picture true one to one full body motion. I think in about a yr or 2 M$ will release and true one to one kinect. I really dnt see motion control as innovation.

Anyway, I liked all your arguments Eden, I really agree with you, motion technology gaming really is a big innovation for the industry, but some might argue it'll always be a niche. Personally I think it's one of the places where innovation is more probable to appear, as it's fairly new compared to all the other types of games. lol, CE Catherine is not so cool, I’d prefer a Catherine figurine :D who wants another guys undies? really?
