Silicon Knights On History, Nintendo, Miyamoto

Posted by simoniker on Sunday July 27, 2003 @01:40AM from the knights-that-say-nintendo dept.

Thanks to GameSpy for their new interview with Dennis Dyack, founder of Silicon Knights, the developers of the Blood Omen: Legacy Of Kain, as well as Eternal Darkness and the forthcoming Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Dyack discusses working with Shigeru Miyamoto on MGS: "Working with Miyamoto is like working with Aristotle ... like working with one of the great masters. I said this at a press conference: 'Gameplay is his ocean, and he navigates it like no one else.'" and praises Nintendo's vision: "When [Nintendo ex-president Yamauchi] appointed Iwata as his successor, we were all amazed, but it was a great call. Look at his aggressive approach: the GBA-SP, for example. He said it best at the press conference, 'We know what happened, we know what the issues are - we're moving forward.' And what did the other groups do? Microsoft cancelled its party. Sony talked up a handheld that it didn't show."

Gee if you had your way all our games would involve walking through flower beds and sniffing flowers. BIG FUDGING DEAL!

And also it is the PARENTS fault for having kids play the wrong kinds of games and or not controlling the amount of time they are on them. Funny how you and the "media" love to blame the games but not the underlying problem, the PARENTS who aren't parenting properly and or don't give a damn.
