"I am very concerned that we are too reliant on sequels, formulaic gameplay, and licenses from outside our medium," Moore said. "The stagnation we may be seeing...is that we are becoming like TV and film in that we are sticking to a formula, and publishing out number three, number four. We are a superior medium, and we should take the next step to rekindling originality."

[pj]

yes

 

[M3wThr33]

Right. They should instead innovate by raising prices on games AND accessories!

 

[erlim]

That is a very true statement, but then again, i don't think many people in the industry would argue against innovation.

 

[Wario64]

Right. They should instead innovate by raising prices on games AND accessories!

And with more in-game advertisements.

 

[JackFrost2012]

After reading an interview where Peter Moore gives lip service to originality, the shelves of my local EB literally exploded with Xbox 360 stock!! Thanks, wonderchu!

 

[DenogginizerOS]

This quote I agree with. However, a game's title may serve more as a brand rather than a game (ex. Resident Evil 4) and obviously new hardware adds new game experiences.

 

[Akia]

Whatever Peter says will come true.

 

[Fatghost]

Yes. Moore is still dead weight. He helped Sega collapse into nothing and now he's working his magic with the Xbox division.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Guess you don't need Halo 3 after all Microsoft.


also:
Didn't David Jaffe just say this?

 

[jman2050]

Yes

 

[pilonv1]

Right. They should instead innovate by raising prices on games AND accessories!

Thats the plan. Higher game & accessory prices means you have less money to buy on sequels and it's step one towards Moore's utopia.

 

[Property of Jumpship]

Let me see:

Quake 4
EA Sports Series
Perfect Dark
Need for Speed
Kameo (Floated on 3 systems)
DOA 4


Am I forgetting any other ORIGINAL titles for the X360?


What a fucking jackass.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

Yup.

He is pretty much just talking bullshit anyway. Does anyone doubt there will be a Halo 4? Do you think that he will argue against making it?

And Sequels aren't inherintly bad. It's crap sequels and shovelware.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

hasn't nintendo been saying this for like, 5 years?

 

[M3wThr33]

Thats the plan. Higher game & accessory prices means you have less money to buy on sequels and it's step one towards Moore's utopia.

Basically buy making them cost more, they can justify less releases, saying they'll be higher quality and more original, when in the end, they just make more $$$.

Or in the Xbox's case, get out of debt.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Eh, it's hard to like marketing guys. All these sequels he's concerned about he'll end up hyping anyway since it's his job.

 

[AniHawk]

hasn't nintendo been saying this for like, 5 years?

Oh, Nintendo. Good example.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Gears of War
Geometry Wars?

The Outfit
Kameo
Condemned
99Nights

 

[Mrbob]

PEETAH FTW.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Yes. Didn't he say that handheld games are useless, or something of that type?

 

[Mrbob]

Let me see:

Quake 4
EA Sports Series
Perfect Dark
Need for Speed
Kameo (Floated on 3 systems)
DOA 4


Am I forgetting any other ORIGINAL titles for the X360?


What a fucking jackass.

Crackdown
Kameo
Mass Effect
Too Human
99 Nights
Blue Dragon
Lost Odyssee

All MS published titles for 360.

 

[D3VI0US]

Psychonauts says hi.

 

[Yamauchi]

Yep.

 

[SolidSnakex]

hasn't nintendo been saying this for like, 5 years?

Nearly everyone been saying that. I gues she just got the memo.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Making new IPs isn't going to work. Are any of those compelling new games?

 

[DenogginizerOS]

He is calling for new ideas and innovation. A theme amongst a lot of discussions nowadays. A good idea we should all get behind.

 

[Speevy]

People can understand that we are too reliant on sequels, formulaic gameplay, and licenses from outside our medium. They know we should take the next step towards rekindling originality.

What they can't understand is why we won't even try.

And that's the word.

 

[A Link to the Past]

He is calling for new ideas and innovation. A theme amongst a lot of discussions nowadays. A good idea we should all get behind.

Everyone is calling for that, but few developers ever follow through with it. Especially Microsoft.

 

[M3wThr33]

uhm no one pays attention to Nintendo, i mean aren't they like 3rd party right now? I heard they were merging with Ubi Soft in order to stay afloat.

After the Virtual Boy 2, who could blame them?

 

[pilonv1]

Developers don't follow through with it because they end up with no money if they do. Just look at the number of small developers who've gone under in the last two years because of it.

Publishers are the ones continuing thivicious cycle of sequels and cash ins because people buy them.

 

[bobbyconover]

Geometry Wars?

That's a sequel to a free pack-in game which itself was a blatant rip-off of / homage to Robotron 2084.

I think it's rad that people are bringing it up as an example of innovation, though. I'm totally in favor of classic arcade shoot-em-ups dominating the market again!

 

[Magicpaint]

After the Virtual Boy 2, who could blame them?

:lol

And yeah, Moore, just stating the obvious, nothing new here.

 

[3rdman]

...and the irrational hate for this man continues. Also, why do people constantly equate Sega's downfall with whatever Moore may have done? They were dead in the water before he ever took its head, for shits sake.

 

[Owzers]

Right. They should instead innovate by raising prices on games AND accessories!

Well, out of all the next-gen publishers so far , Microsoft Game Studios is the only one that hasn't raised prices.

he is bullshitting, he is praying that Bungie finishes Halo 3 ASAP

I wouldn't say its hate as much as people just see him as a joke character.

 

[monchi-kun]

it's one thing to say it, it's another to actually DO it.

Jason Rubin said the same thing...where the fuck is he now?

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Everyone is calling for that, but few developers ever follow through with it. Especially Microsoft.

I think XBOX Live Arcade has been home to some significant original content that has done quite well. I have 7 XBLA games, and most are original games.

PS - DON'T FORGET TO BUY HALO 3!

 

[EOGamer]

I don't hate him, he's just doing his job. He's a spinmeister, it's what the man is paid to do.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I don't hate him, he's just doing his job. He's a spinmeister, it's what the man is paid to do.

He's paid to regurgitate Nintendo's PR speak and claim it as his own ideas? This is the most hypocritical thing I've heard from a company rep in a while.

 

[Monk]

I hate peter moore because he cant pr for shit. Not because of what he thinks.

The whole point f pr is meant for fanboys to regurgitate for the benefit of the system. NOT USE IT AGAINST IT! There is so much wrong with his pr i honestly dont see how anyone can defend him.

Moore is like the polar opposite of Reggie.

 

[Piper Az]

If you hate him, there's something wrong with you. He provides such great gaming entertainment everytime he says something.

 

[Barry Lightning]

peter moore is out of his mind. i can respect that.

 

[EOGamer]

He's paid to regurgitate Nintendo's PR speak and claim it as his own ideas? This is the most hypocritical thing I've heard from a company rep in a while.

They do and say whatever they have to do to score points. That applies to all three companies.

 

[Barry Lightning]

i'd offer to differ.

to me, nintendo doesn't give a shit. they're like loonies on the loose

sony are like sumarai business warriors that will slice you something proper

microsoft are trust fund kids, making all the mistakes, and making up for said mistakes by spending more money to make more mistakes, etc

we'll see how this pans out, however. especially now that the sony "sumarais" are lead by a gaijin.

mc brains "oochie coochie" just came on vh1 soul.

This guy is full of shit, just like every other slimy, bureaucratic PR person in the gaming business. If they're so worried about oversaturating the market with sequels, then perhaps they need to invest an equal amount of time and money into marketing ORIGINAL titles and new franchises. Does that happen often? No. Do you see cancerous dickheads who're suffering from mid-life crisis putting fake tattoos of Psychonauts and the like on their arms, legs, or penises, while having every gaming media outlet take pictures? No. Why? Because Moore, Nintendo, and Sony just talk the talk.

But is there any walking of the walk going on?
