Call me old school, but I prefer the original Pilotwings. I beat that game so many times, and it's still fun to play to this day. Mine is still in the box, too. :D Whichever one you prefer though, it's clear that Nintendo needs to make another one. Why they haven't is beyond me.
I disagree to an extent. As long as a "clone" offers a different experience and isn't just trying to cash in on the success of another game (e.g., all the Minecraft clones on XBLA), then I don't see the problem. Terraria and Starbound are two recent examples of why clones aren't always a bad thing.
@gantarat
This is true. But considering the 'run and gun' nature a lot of these survival horror franchises have now, is 'run and hide' such a bad thing?
@Unreal01
I'm highly looking forward to it myself. The pacing and atmosphere look to be classic Mikami. Can't wait!
Dragon's Dogma was amazing. Highly underrated. It's just a matter of time before Capcom screws up that IP, though.
They're beating a dead horse at this point. A Resident Evil without Shinji Mikami is like Rock without the Roll. and I say this as one of the biggest RE fans you'll ever meet (raise your hand if you played RE1 so many times that you could finish it without saving). The same can be said about Silent Hill without Team Silent. It makes me sad. These publishers need to stop riding on the coattails of somebody's vision and allow someone else to create their own.

Opinions do vary. My brother and I personally loved the game. The gameplay itself wasn't anything to write home about, but the character performances, the environments, and the story were all pretty great.
A friend of mine disagrees, however.
Except that the article links to the page in question on the US Patent & Trademark Office website.
"Why would you publish a piece that your staff might not agree with?"
That's kind of the point. GamesBeat is formally Bitmob.com, which was (co-?)founded by Dan Hsu. I don't think I have to tell you who Dan Hsu is, but one of the main reasons the site exists is to offer a place for the gaming community to express their opinions in journalistic fashion, whether the staff agrees with it or not. That disclaimer is given to all community opinion pieces.

Regarding your first post above, I've noticed this in other areas as well. For example, when watching streams on PlayStation Live, the quality is horrible, and often laggy. Yet, when I watch the same stream on Twitch/Ustream's website or iOS App, it looks and plays great. It's definitely PSN.
They supported Wii for just about 7 years.
"How are they going to support Wii U 2, Wii U, and 3DS?"
Maybe the same way they supported SNES, NES and Game Boy? Nintendo can do it. Third party helps though, and that's what the Wii U is lacking right now.
Apple loyalists buy a $500-$700 iPad every year with slightly better specs. I know that's like comparing apples to oranges when it comes to gaming consoles, but I don't see the harm if 1) the thing is supposedly compatible with Wii U discs, 2) they continue to support the Wii U, and 3) it gets Nintendo back in the game. We're already seeing games being released for both 7th and 8th gen as it is. I'd totally support this thing if the specs came anywhere close to that with the g...
@Kayant
I noticed that too. That detail was missing on the last-gen console versions as well. It's such a memorable scene in the game, it feels cheapened with the blood missing like that.
"Glad I could make your list of dumb comments."
Perhaps I was a little blunt. ;)
"I think you missed a step trying to call my argument illogical."
I think my counter argument is pretty valid. It's no secret that everyone has an opinion and judges things and people prematurely. That's why the saying exists in the first place.
"Unless you believe that everything must be tried in order to form an...
"When you watch a trailer for a movie or game or read information about it that is all meant so you can make a judgement of whether to buy it or not."
That has to be one of the dumbest comments I've read on N4G today. Do you know how many movies I've seen with horribly bad trailers that actually turned out to be quite awesome, and vice versa? PR is designed to spark interest. Sometimes it fails to do that, but that doesn't always mean whatever they'r...
I wouldn't expect HL3 until Source 2 is in full swing. We have yet to see a game using it, and the first is said to be Left 4 Dead 3. Until then, we can only speculate.
Anything is possible, but I honestly don't believe HL3 will come anywhere close to the disaster that was DNF considering it's one of Valve's flagship titles. DNF fell through so many cracks in its 15 years of development, it's no wonder it came out looking like a redheaded stepchild.
Why? Got nothing better to do?
This isn't Duke Nukem Forever we're talking about. ;)
Valve would be fools not to make HL3 and they know it. There's clearly a huge following for it.
You're right. I totally forgot about that.
