Keiji Inafune, the man behind such Capcom classics as Dead Rising and most recently, the PS Vita romp Soul Sacrifice has said he felt this years E3 was awash with sequels and touch-ups of old ideas for next-gen consoles.
Speaking with Famitsu, Inafune said of the matter, I was mostly handling interviews during E3 so I couldnt get around the show floor that much. But with the quick overview I had, I sadly didnt see any games this time that I really wanted to try out.
Were right at the cusp of new hardware launches, after all, so my impression was that it was nothing but sequels and there arent any new titles in the end. With the previous generational shift, too, it seemed like they couldnt do anything new, and the launch games for the new systems didnt really seem made for the systems, but were instead previous-gen games made for next-gen systems.
Thats the state were in right now, and to be honest, I didnt see anything really new and innovative in this years title lineup.
On the PS4 and Xbox One showings, he continued, Of course, my impression is that theyve got great capabilities as machines. However, instead of focusing on those capabilities, theyre devoting their time to thinking about how to position the gamer with the hardware, or how to get them playing it.
The first parties are challenging the game makers here, since its their job to make their mission a reality, and both game creators and the gamers themselves are taking up this challenge and looking toward these new types of games. In that way I think theyre both very meaningful platforms.
Looking at the PS4 and Xbox One, I see very few cases of this platform can do this and that one cant do that. I doubt many gamers feel that way, either. There are lots of differences in the hardware design and other details, but in terms of differentiating themselves from each other, I dont feel there are massive differences.
