Moving forward is having a giant red dot that spoonfeeds information to you?

You know, I heard there was some sort of big design revelation Nintendo was gonna do that involved watching the game play itself. Perhaps that's just a rumour but if that's how the "industry is moving forward" then being a game designer myself I'd have to say I'm out.

A lot of people like the discovery factor in MMOs. Things becoming more easy, information fed directly to your eyes without warrant... that's not a new trend, and if it is, it's a pretty bad one. But then again, maybe that's why I hate most games that come out these days.

These high standards of yours are inadequate unfortunately.
