Goldeneye made people stop playing games

071212interrogation.jpgThat’s quite an interesting bit of information, isn’t it? Well, from a certain point of view, it may very well be true. Here’s Reggie’s take on the claim:

“When Nintendo was at its height of success we had the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Super Nintendo products that appealed to all types of consumers from [age] 5 to 50, all playing games that they enjoyed and found the controllers easy to manipulate and the experience quite rewarding.

[Goldeneye 64] begat other, more intense fast-twitch oriented games …which resulted in the gaming industry becoming more insular, more focused on complex controllers, and more focused on games that if you weren’t very knowledgeable, you were really left out.”

Must be why Rare was ousted.
