New Miyamoto interview (must read)!

[Dark Jaguar]

If you ask me that Link thing sure did look rendered to me. I'm not wrong of course, it IS rendered using cel shading. Anyway, always with the Star Wars examples aren't ya? Here's the thing, I don't care HOW they managed it backstage. I'm sure all sorts of things that we see that look exactly the same are developmentaly different. That's not how I look at things. I look at a far more superficial level. I see what's presented to me, not how they managed to get it there in the first place. With that in mind, Matrix did something different, live action weird camera panning around some guy in slow motion. Star Wars Episode look who's talking too just managed to show more advanced stuff I've seen before. I'm sure they had to totally innovate behind the scenes, but I don't care about that. Look, the graphic engine for OOT was created differently from the one for SM64. I'm not going to look into the past to find out if everything made had some innovation in the developing. That's just silly. Suddenly I have to rate all sorts of things that when I first saw or played it looked exactly the same as innovative just because the design process was innovative. While that is a valid point of course, I'm not rating games based on design process. If I did games that would suck would still be rated high because they programmed it well at least. I rate them based on what I see.

Oh, and you certainly picked one of the worst pics to show off Kingdom Hearts didn't ya? I notice it's in Japanese, did you have to scavenge the net to find what you thought would be the best example of how it's not a cartoon in your eyes? Try something like a scene of Cloud walking past Herc's trainer.
