Typical Riot. Focusing their hardest efforts on anything but the game itself.

I fail to see the author's point...

It's OUR expectations to blame for the developers' aversion of trying new things?

I mean, I agree with him that people are dumb and want only things that are safe and familiar, and devs should challenge that.
But that has nothing to do with this.

This a simple story of a mediocre developer creating a product with a lot of spectacle but sloppy gameplay.

There are lots of games like that. Old and new, and we don't call their developers "poor artistically challenged souls". We called them bad developers.

That's a ridiculous amount of money and manpower...

I'll be VERY pissed if they don't get the D-Pad right this time...

I certainly hope so. Because anyone who believes in the misguided concept of "game generations" sure isn't helping the cause.

I mean, what generation does Doom 3 belong to, then?
Certainly not the same as the PS2, yet it WAS on the original Xbox. Along with Half-Life 2.

And DotA? And Counter Strike Source? And anything in the Dreamcast?

Wind Waker was a Gamecube game. WWHD is it's remake.

Whoever said competition brings quality and innovation didn't live in the time of AAA modern shooters...

Stop remaking old Zelda games, Nintendo.
It makes you look desperate.

What are they waiting for to make the games Wii-U can make that other consoles can't?
Good RTS and shooters with precise controls, for instance.

I mean, what was that ZombiU crap? You have a touchscreen and you aim with the analog stick?

I don't want to see Nintendo bite the dust but if they don't take full advantage of their own console then they deserve to fall.

3rd party accessory: Plastic clip-on kinect lens cover. Only $2.99!

I will become rich...

Silly Doomguy-face. They can't count the PC because it doesn't work in "generations" like consoles.
Thus making this entire poll completely pointless.

Ridiculous polls like these are part of the reason games are still seen as a joke by other media...

i don't get the hate.

I'm all for keeping this game for 4 more years.
The current SF4 is still very popular online.

If a SF5 came out now, everyone would ditch SF4 and we'd all have to shell out big bucks for new PCs and consoles if we don't want to miss the party...
All for changes that would be mostly visual...

I don't necesarily like Capcom and their business practices... But I think this time they're doing the right thing.
