Did you see that controller mod, Gughunter? I recall reading something like that on slashdot, where a guy wired it so it would shock him instead of rumbling :P

Cell shading had been around way before the WindWaker, and if I am not mistaken, Sly Cooper came first, but I will have to look that up to be sure.

I don't like the trade. Rumble was nice. I want to be able to move my body independently of the game. I don't want to be crashing into a game wall whenever I shift my butt over. The only nice thing about the PS3 controller seems to be that I can rest my arms more than the main Wii controller and not look like I'm doing something lude when my arms get tired.
PS: Sony was using motion in the current generation with the Eye Toy and Microsoft had tilt with the Sidewinder. Nintendo announced motion being a part of their standard configuration first, but so what? Scoobert: Jet Set Radio for Dreamcast is generally considered what made cell shading big. Plenty of games used it afterwards. |
Sorry AC, I didn't mean that Sly Cooper was the first cell shaded game, but rather that it came before the Wind Waker, and according to my research, Sly Cooper came out a good bit before Wind Waker (6 months to 1 year).
I really don't mind the removal of the rumble, but you are right about overuse of the tilt feature ruining games, and my way of playing games while laying on my side. But I recon' that most games won't use this feature, because it would possibly prevent cross platform compatibility. |
Many of the games on the playstation are very Innovative. Sly Cooper, GTA(Ok, it is nolonger just a Sony game, but it was born on the PSX and has been very innovative over the years), Ratchet & Clank, and many others.
A good number of them "innovative" games weren't exactly developed by Sony itself. |
Sony doesn't develop many games. Nintendo does develop most of the games that are their system only, but Sony does not. I don't even know that Sony has any games that they developed on their system.
My point was that Nintendo aren't some crazy innovators that create everything from scratch and nobody else does it. Sony's PS was the first console to play audio CDs(Well, the Sega CD might have) and the PS2 was the first console to play DVDs, and the first one that I know of that was backwards compatible with a prior system. Nintendo did release a few things to allow you to play other systems games like gameboy on other systems, but that was after market. I guess you could count the GameBoy and GameBoy color though, the color could play older Gameboy games, but they have never been that innovative in the handheld market, just good (Excluding the DS). Hell, they where years late on the whole color screen thing, you could say they stole the idea of a colored screen from Sega, but that would not be true, because colored screens where just part of the evolution. |
I think the Saturn, which played CDs, was out before the Playstation. That's one of the many reasons people gave for the system dying.
Although they seem to do a lot of publishing, Sony appears to have at least two development sections: Sony Computer Entertainment SCEI |
Now THAT would make for some intense gaming. Not to mention some involuntary flinching every time I walk past the TV.
