Shigeru Miyamoto: "I Could Have Made Halo, I Just Chose Not To"

http://wii.ign.com/articles/786/786082p1.html

God get over yourself.  :roll:

"I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play."

Thumbs up to Miyamoto, I think he's great. Obviously he could have created Halo (a lot of devs could have), but I think Bungie would have still done it best, so I'm glad they made it.

He didn't mean, "I could have made the exact game that Bungie made, but I didn't feel like it."

He meant, "I could have made a game that pandered to the tastes of the general gaming market, but I'd rather try to create something very unique."

Maybe a bit arrogant, but not as much as you think.  

until this very moment, i still don't see what's the big deal about Halo.

yes i played it, i played it online too (with my cousin's Xbox/Xbox360). but i still think its no match with Counterstrike and Battlefield. i think even GeOW is more fun to play.

LMFAO, wow. normally i support nintendo but after this......wowarmy-of_one

yes, support it with your mothers money :|

seriously, dude, his comment wasnt bad at all. but you people are looking for something to critisize. hell, i am not even a sheep. I dont care about the wii. but i dont give a crap, the man is right.

What makes Miyamoto think that Bungie simply catered to the public demand? I guess Bungie didn't make a game that was "fun". Nintendo has abused the word "fun". The real meaning of "fun" for Nintendo is "an excuse". As in, they need an excuse to justify selling a small white Gamecube for $250. The excuse is the Wiimote. Now, Sheep can play the $250 white Gamecube and have "an excuse".

He's not a copycat so he's arrogent?

If you guys say so.

Oh great Miyamoto wants more casual games. Mehopes Nintendo doesn't come close to winning this system wars.wmc540

You realize Halo is casual right?

Word.

I loved Halo's simplistic design, but feel that Counter Strike Source or Battlefield 2 are far better products.

Think about what he said. He helped in creating the DS and Wii, which most people never thought they would enjoy, but now a few million are in love with it. 

Oh great Miyamoto wants more casual games. Mehopes Nintendo doesn't come close to winning this system wars.wmc540

He does? All I saw in there concerning that was assumptions.......... Anyway, when he says that he "could make halo" he is talking about the concept of the game and the overall demographic that game is directed to. Not the quality of the game itself.

If Halo would have came to the GameCube instead, the Xbox probably would have sold less than 10 million.

he could have. halo isn't really that great or innovative. just another basic fps imo.Silenthps

yeah, right that makes sense, thats why it got 9.7 and 9.4, gamespot loved it for its basicness and failure to be great or innovative.

Game13a13y

i agree to an extent

Counterstrike is hands down a better online game than halo

but battlefield and GeOW are not in opinion

also the battlefield and GeOW campaigns arent that amazing other than a few spots

but yes overall i dont see the HUGE fuss over Halo althought i must admit i am excited to play the beta

If Halo would have came to the GameCube instead, the Xbox probably would have sold less than 10 million.

a casual cannot beat a hardcore . If a casual beat a hardcore , it's mean the casual is not a casual but a hardcore , more hardcore then the hardcore .

If they bring the arcade game like House of the dead or Time crisis to the Wii , I might buy it ^^ 4 Player :o ??? 

He couldn't have made Halo.

Like he could of made the online play work this well, the storyline with this amount of depth, and overall a ground-breaking console FPS.

Don't get me wrong, hes an amazing developer, but Halo is not his fortay. His game's storylines aren't told the way Halo is, and Nintendo and online is a joke thus far. 

i think halo would suck if he made it.  halo goes deeper than he thinks_en1gma_

a casual cannot beat a hardcore . If a casual beat a hardcore , it's mean the casual is not a casual but a hardcore , more hardcore then the hardcore .

but wouldnt that make the hardcore not a hardcore and the casual a hardcore because he beat the hardcore in a casual hardcore game?  or is there a semi-hardcore and uber-hardcore, and the casuals are unknown potential hardcores of casuality?

Kind of true . If Miyamoto would of made halo , the game would of been for Gamecube . But without online play , halo2 would ove been a AA game at best .

Storyline? You have got to be kidding me. I have nothing agains't halo, but hell my cat could come up with the concept of Halo. I can't say the same thing about the concept or universe of Mario or Zelda, to a lesser extent and still far greater to me then Halo, Metroid.

You can definitely bet your behind, that it would be far more defficult for me from a creative stand point to create something like Mario, Zelda or Metroid then something like Halo. Not to mention that the concept of the Halo franchise was mostly a reap of, of Sci fi novels.

I knew that the first response would not come from the Sheep. "Blind" is another accurate word to explain Wii fans. In this thread (first page), someone actually said that graphics are "too advanced". He said that he waited until the very end of the Gamecube's life to play it because the graphics were more than he needed. That is a statement from a blind gamer.

Halo barely tells it's story at all, you have to read some stupid books to get the story.  Noting in halo is revolutionary or in great depth, it's was all done before and in most cases better.

i think halo would suck if he made it. halo goes deeper than he thinks_en1gma_

What, there's a huge, never-before-made plot in shooting up aliens and saving the world? :roll:
