Halo series.

Now every dev needs to learn from this title.

Edit: Halo series is a great example. No violence but still for the gamers of hardcore and casuals. That's why its a huge franchise around the world. FACT. wahahah

Edit: Disagree all you want but its that FACTS. Multi million dollar franchise known around the world. Just quote HALO for the Xbox 360 and you will know how BIG of a franchise it is, Parents plays it, kids plays it, Hardcores plays it. Halo gave shooters on consoles a chance, without Halo and Ms you won't have great shooters on consoles and which attracted millions of hardcores/casuals. FACT.

wahahaha

*stabs Miyamoto in the face with a chainsaw*

Miyamoto needs a talk with media molecule, they made a masterpiece aimed to hardcore and casual gamers without the need of chainsaws or blood.

He's kind of right but that's where the money tree leads. People see M rating and that alone says buy to them.

It's a game and that's all it is. Whether it is Resistance, HALO, Gears, CoD4 or LBP, Super Mario Galaxy or Flow. Games should be entertaining and what entertains some may not entertain others. That said most games whether they contain violent content or not, as long as they are entertaining, satisfy the majority of game players.

wasn't he the person that was in AWW after playing the Killzone 2 demo at E3 lol

This is why Kojima+Miyamoto>Entire western development industry

then stop those f*cking retard wii game .

Well look at Queefy B, he's makes a certain game that rhymes with Tear and theres nothing in the game except excessive violence, the only substance it has in it is the violence.

about any part of the media industry. I have been seeing the rise of fillers and the loss of originality in music, movies and video games. Fillers include sex and violence and foul language. When an artist has to fill a song with so much profanity it only goes to show the lack of artistic talent they have. Sure sex sells but when you see the need for it in a movie that is bad you can only tell that there wasnt any thought into the story. The same happens for video games. It is as if the developers know the story sucks but if we throw lots of violence and things blowing up then people wont notice.

Movies and music from years ago did not have to rely on those fillers to be good. They relied on real talent. A game doesnt NEED sex and violence to be fun. It just needs good talent working on it.

stopping having these crappy cheap games out on the wii so u can make easy money. its like selling crack to little kids

miyamoto should stick to making mario and zelda games, thats all he is good at.

Its very unfortunate to read some of the lamest comments I've ever read and see multiple agrees. So I get the game now though, if you speak with a negative tone about Wii or one of the greatest game developers of all time (Miyamoto)fanboys eat it up, how amusing.

I'd be curious to know some of these individuals' age, because if you think all Miyamoto has done for the games industry is Mario and Zelda, you are pretty narrow in your perspective. But anyway, as for what Miyamoto is saying, he is absolutely right, violence is the crutch alot of developers lean on because creativity is lacking, people are scared to venture out and try new endeavors, its unfortunate. However, I wouldn't purchase something like say Wii music, but why hate on the game or the ppl who would? Plus its also important to realize he said he doesn't want to curb freedom of speech just that violence in video games is often times excessive. That is the point he is trying to make, but all of a sudden we hear nonsense about "cooking mama, or go back to making casual crap" it seems any article dealing with the Wii is bombarded by fanboys who can't wait to say something ridiculous.

Now I don't want to call out everyone who has posted here, because not all of you are fanboys. But there is a difference between being critical and just throwing flame bate out there. I'l leave it to the reasonable posters to separate the 2.

I have no problem with violence in games. In fact I tend to enjoy the more violent games, such as Gears of War and Ninja Gaiden 2. Different strokes for different people. Violence in video games already get a bad rep, let's not stir it up more.

What people should be focusing on is things that actually have a higher risk of causing issues, such as teen drunk driving. Far more people get killed by drunk drivers (including teens) than videogames has hurt anyone.

Funny thing though, isn't Mad World released for the Wii exclusively?

im losing my respect for this guy. his games target a different audience. his games have always been about mario or some gimmicky game like wii fit. we make games for the hardcore and target a different audience. some gamers do like blood and gore better than cartoon games.

I love this guys work... Even more than Kojimas which is saying something

The overuse of violence, aka the overabundance of shooters in gaming is one of the reasons Im getting annoyed at the industry. They've gotten lazy, and formulaic. They need to come up with some new ideas.
