Miyamoto suggests FP Zelda

News: Miyamoto suggested first-person Ocarina - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

OMG I really hope he changes his mind, this would really kill the series for me personally.

I've learned that in Miyamoto interviews, don't take anything at face value. He's more random than a senile granddad, nothing is literally as it seems. And besides, this is a retrospective comment, so he never did.

Thank goodness it never happened!

After vetoing Mario and Animal Crossing as potential candidates, Miyamoto said: "We figured that Link was the logical choice. Then we argued that it would've been kind of strange for us to give Link a gun, so I proposed a sort of Terminator style story about a time warp from the future, but [the development team] vetoed that idea immediately".

Wow..

Hey what about, I don't know, creating a new IP in first person view. Why did it have to be an established franchise?

How does new IP affect good/bad gameplay?

Please explain I'm intrigued...

He's just basically saying that with the exception of Metroid Prime, Nintendo doesn't have ANY FP franchises. And the suggestion from Miyamoto about the terminator one sounded cool, what kind of drugs do the nintendo development team take?

It just seemed like Miyamoto was looking at their different franchises and trying to figure out which one he could do in first person perspective. Why not just make a new game altogether?

most of you guys saying Nintendo needs a new IP realize that Nin. has made more IP new IP than anyone else right?

and on top of that when a new IP comes out who buys them?

this is what always happens

"we want new IP"

-IP comes out, gets good reviews all over-

sales???? sub par

"we want new IP"

proof? Psyconuats and some others games you never heard of

Psychonauts was not made by Nintendo.
