Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 65410, member: 6930"] Innovation is a double-edged sword imo: if you don't have a proper focus of your new concept it could easily end up being worse than something good that doesn't reinvent the wheel. Look at Nintendo (especially Miyamoto's stance on F-zero) producing gimmicks which either worked fine or overstayed their welcome (like Starfox Zero). I'd rather have a good indie game reviving a lost feeling of a series that no longer gets produced even if there's one small different mechanic than a game pretending to be inspired by another but has an entirely different gameplay feel. Pizza Tower told us it's like Wario Land but is more like a racing platformer like Rayman Origins/Legends and Sonic with some Wario aesthetic compared to AntonBlast. Marketing and actual game aren't necessarily the same. A top down action/adventure game may remind you of Zelda but doesn't make it a Zelda-like. CrossCode despite being a top down Action-RPG akin to the Mana or Ys games is still its own thing. Also you could basically say the same for any games of the same genre: [LIST] [*]Why playing the latest FPS when I can just play Doom with mods? [*]Why playing fighting games instead of Street Fighter II the World Warriors? [*]Why playing platformers when Mario exists? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
