Are you referring to Sony and Microsoft? or Third parties on their consoles?

How so? Why not just lock the camera behind the character? or hold forward on the analogue stick and move with the camera stick like any half capable person. Honestly I agree with 'snowman in that I thought Nintendo had great confidence in their 3D camera capabilities, they're certainly regarded as one of if not the best at it. Sounds like some excuse to me and shouldn't be a reason not to make games of that kind. Nintendo typically always push themselves... if they feel better 3D camera's are needed I'd expect them to strive to make it, not go in the opposite direction.

I'm not sure I remember those complaints, but I take your word for it.

Just want to point out though that the Wii was an anomaly in a continual decline in Nintendo's console sales. They do need to give what they're doing in that market a long hard think.

I didn't say it was. I just found it ironic that in trying to find a middle ground they [as far as I can see] caused more issues. And I was actually referring to the millions alone who still buy and enjoy 3D Mario games. When was the 3D camera ever a common complaint of Mario 64/Galaxy?

Following the Dreamcast/Gamecube era?....... Who were these people! :p

Meanwhile there are millions - including those picking up games for the first time - who have no problem with it, or in adjusting to each games subtle differences. Ironically watching people play Super Mario 3D World before launch was the first time in a long time I saw people finding it hard to judge jumps and distances dues to the fixed camera positioning.

I'm not surprised his words caused uproar, it's frustrating reading his ideas and comments on the industry more often than not. The F-Zero control scheme rubbish, the 'until we have the right gimmick for the next game' train of thought, Mario Galaxy 1 was a disappointment, the direction he takes games in, and now 3D camera's being too hard... Super Mario Bros. NES was hard as nails, as was Super Mario Land etc... so he's wrongly referring to 2D Mario, but instead referring to the dumbing down of 2D Mario with excessive lives, tutorials and guides. I wouldn't really be interested in another Galaxy, after I didn't much enjoy the more if the same in Galaxy 2, so whether we get that or not I don't mind... but this idea of settling on a middle ground and not pushing is just frustrating to hear. Oh well, I'll just have to get my kicks from other platformers like Tearaway and Ratchet & Clank for the time being.

Yep, he has.

That Wesker mode annoys me for timeline issues. But I may well pick up that double pack.

Have they said there's one coming post launch?

We've already seen those types of levels, and they've also been slowed down and are full of chicken walker transformations. This is what happens when you have Shigsy shoehorning his Gamepad into a game that doesn't need it, trying desperately to prove its worth. Whilst its uses could be fun, it's completely the wrong game for it.

I've been excited about this since I first saw it on this forum. It's more in the way of how StarFox should have made itself relevant in this day an age, agile, fast paced, action packed... instead of just remaking itself all the time. Disappointing to hear that it might not play as good as it looks, but I'll keep an eye on it, especially now that this version will have a story mode.

Yeah agreed. Whilst the characters look cool. Looking at the ship design, especially the incoming enemy ones, they just completely lack character and look like generic fodder.

The fact you're enjoying this @Ronnie (you know what I mean ) makes me even more excited to get a PS4 and start playing some of these games. Glad you're loving the experience.

She's my fav.

I wasn't going to re-buy them either, but damn that trailer! Ergh, Love Elena.

Won't make it to this one, need to save my money for other things these next few weeks, and stock up on sleep...

Yeah Season 1 of Prison Break remains one of the best things I have ever watched.

Hopefully it won't be too long. Got a few crazy weeks money wise trying to get to some motorsport events. Once everything settles down again and I know where I stand money wise, then we'll see. Almost bought Tomb Raider today for £12 :p But I figure there will be other similar deals on it in the future.

Congrats guys!!!

Fantastic, cheers guys! Just bought a pair, < £55 on Gamestop.

Lol @Goron_3, don't you try and peer pressure me :p
