Agreed and I used to be a Nintendo diehard.
Shame on us for expecting him to get a little more creative than your average forum poster.

Nintendo hit the IP lottery. If Sony and Microsoft came out here talking about "We've got Halo"/"We got Uncharted" after like 20 years of spin offs and appearances every year for the last 20 years, they've be laughed out of the room.

Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon was developed by a Western Studio with a mediocre track record.

He's not wrong about the launch titles. For me, the Nintendo lineup blows away the launch lineup for PS4/XB1 this November. I'll still be picking up my PS4, DriveClub and Need for Speed Rivals, but nothing else really strikes me as a "must-have" title on those systems.
That said, I don't expect it to have any impact on sales and if they don't bump sales from these and Mario Kart, it's all over for the Wii U.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I bet they'll be some delays too
It's actually a pretty huge departure from the rest of the Killzone series in a huge number of ways. I don't like the Killzone games and am pretty interested in this new one because of the massive changes.
Changes such as ->
1. A shift from extremely linear levels to open ended levels where you can tackle some goals in any order.
2. The Introduction of the OWL assistant, which allows emergent traveling capabilities with the zipline technique and unique combat opportunities.
3. A shift from mostly purely oppressively dark levels aesthetically to a mixture of super bright levels that run the color gamut.
4. A multiplayer mode which is supposedly going to hit 60fps, with all guns available from the start so no grinding for better ones, with all map DLC free of charge for everyone.
5. An enhancement in the player's agility/speed, and much endless tinkering to the way guns feel now.
Really, it's a completely different type of FPS experience now as far as I can tell.

To be fair if/when MS and Sony reach that time they will have the same ip's as long as they sell.

Eh, the launch lineups for both consoles are pretty shitty, I don't think he's wrong. The drought was terrible and I hated it but I mean, there's 6 retail games on the Wii U I still want to buy this year. I can't think of 6 total things announced for both of the new consoles combined that I really want. But I'm not probably the typical consumer they're aiming for, and I'm going to buy a PS4 anyway, so my opinion probably doesn't matter.

They're on record as saying they were given a choice to do either Metroid or Donkey Kong and they chose to do Donkey Kong on their own. They weren't "reduced" to anything.
I remember that game because it was one of the earliest examples of miiverse hijacking.
I'd actually agree about the lineups being meh, but I thought the same of the Wii U's and I'm not typically impressed by launch lineups in general. Not pushing Pikmin back might've piqued my interest a bit though.
C'mon now. Do you really think this is Reggie's actual opinion instead of just a PR quip?

"Reduced and Nintendo-age Rare" don't go together at all for me either.
And certainly "reduced and 2D" don't.
Prime 4 would not have been a new experience, I hope he wasn't going for that.
The internet would be so much easier if you take things in stride. Things will settle down a few months after these consoles are out. Before next gen announcements, this place was fairly tame.
The gun turned out to be a toy.
If you never played a single game this entire generation perhaps
seriously WHAT GAMES do people play on consoles that approach this? Last of Us and Uncharted 2/3 are probably the best looking games of the generation on consoles, alongside the God of War title, and they don't even come close to doing some of the effects on display in Killzone. And just forget about even comparing the image quality. Last of Us looks like it was passed through a fucking salt grinder it's so fucking jaggy.
The texture quality, the effects on display, the amount of geometry... seriously, I want people's magic consoles.
The line-up on PS4/XB1 is about equal to the launch line-up on the Wii U. All of them were pretty average. A first-party gem or two, some indie games, the multiplatform blockbusters, and a couple casual games.
This year is great for the Wii U though. Lots of exclusives and multiplatforms.

God I am sick of console war bullshit. Hey Reggie, instead of bullshitting the press, focus on getting more damn content for your platforms.
There is no fucking way you saw the video if that's what you believe.
That or you've got cataracts the size of fucking badminton rackets.

I'm just going to be honest by saying I have the same feeling.
Make no mistake, I'll buy a PS4 in 2014 when Rime and some RPG's/Sony IP's are out, but untill then, it's pretty 'meh' for me.
I already have a nice list with things I want to buy and play on my PS3 (Puppeteer, Beyond), 3DS (Pokémon, Zelda, Bravely Default) and Wii U (Zelda Wind Waker, AC IV, Mario 3D World) in the coming months ^^

Ps4 and Xbox one of course innovate so much, with more Halo, uncharted, Infamous, and amazing new IP like drive club that is so imaginative.
People who complain about Nintendo IP are seriously strange, there will soon be more COD games released than there will have been mainline Mario/Zelda/DK/Etc titles, and if Creed keeps selling, same for that, but no one seems to complain about the homogenized yearly releases that stagnate and are creatively bankrupt. It's those damn Nintendo games that pop in every 3-5 years that are dull and soulless. Nintendo brings back Pikmin and funds Wonderful 101, people make fun of it, continue to play Creed or COD like they are the shit. Amazing.
Just because they have been around forever doesn't mean they are tired, as the changes in setting, tone, gameplay, etc are far more vast with most of Nintendos stuff. It's basically just NSMB that fell into the COD cycle and even that is a stretch release frequency wise.

Reggie is the best troll ever. He makes so many people salty and bitter every time he opens his mouth.
I agree. But thats because Uncharted, God of War and most other IPs dont have the framework to remain interesting for 20 years
If nintendo announced today that they would never make a main Mario, Zelda or Metroid game ever again, the internet would explode. The same thing can NEVER be said for Assassins Creed, GoW, Killzone or whatever
Reggie is just saying he hates 3rd parties.

Am I praising Assassin's Creed or COD? I got bored with them within 2-3 games. People complain all the time about these yearly rehashes. However, the systems those games are on feature plenty of other quality experiences.

Oh, it's going to be one of those threads huh?
PlayStation will be 20 next year and none of the games from the PS1 appear on the ps4, very few appeared on ps3 and as a platform the PlayStation received the most solid selling new IP's of the three.
