I liked Dead Space the way it was, I'd like it the same if it was the way Draft said it.  Makes no difference to me.

I do think that the game would have been scary if it was how he described it though.  The fact that people were telling me that I should be scared made me not.

So, take away context, characters, motif etc.

Really, what the hell is the point? It becomes a tech demo. In Dead Space's case at least.

The point is to play a game.

Remember when games were just games? Like, when you fired up Contra III: The Alien Wars, you got about 45 seconds of exposition, and then the rest of the "story", defending the city, chasing the alien mother ship, bringing that bitch down, getting dropped off in Red Falcon's jungle base, it all happened while you were playing, and was related quickly and quietly.

That's the way to do it, man.

Actually, i never liked those games. I guess games by themselves aren't that appealing to me.

Yeah, the EA Wii games have been a huge mistake.  I remember the first couple of Madden games for the Wii, they had the same style as the other Madden games, just with motion controls and some additional modes.  It was a ton of fun to play, my friends and I would spend hours playing 2-on-2.  Then this All Play BS came out, different boxes and style, it looked like a kids game and we no longer had any interest in playing them, just keeping to the 360 version.  I'm pretty sure the older Wii Madden games sold better than this All Play crap to.  I don't know what EA is thinking.

Devs need to look to Pro Evolution Soccer to see how to properly make a Wii sports game, keep the core gameplay and style of the other versions so you don't feel like a little kid while playing it, while making a control scheme that works on the strengths of the controller.  Essentially, you have to rebuild the game up for the controls, I suppose it's too much work for some people...
