This is just as closed minded, though. Nintendo "gimmicks" are exactly what has pushed along the others to do new things. Analog sticks, motion controls, touch screens and touch functions... Sony and Microsoft have or had these things too. VR depends on a lot of what Nintendo was pioneering with motion.
Platinum didn't port Bayonetta, lol.
It being a xx bit system compared to the previous one. The promise of it being X times more powerful than the current iteration. The idea that we were going to see something done on the system we couldn't have seen before.
But he's wrong. This generation will see the birth of streaming as a viable choice for a ton of users, on top of the popularization of VR.
Great card that's why, 1440p is also perfectly fine. Those RTX turing cards had no competition so was always going to be extortionate on release. Watch the 2080ti drop below £1000 when supers release.
...of course there are new things in regards to the tech like improvements in sound, graphics rendering, physical media, etc. That's my whole point...
Blade mode tanked the framerate on PS3 to a point which was embarrassing to see on a shipped game. It didn't happen to anywhere near the same degree on 360. We're talking single digits here, for the duration of the entire Zandatsu animation.
He's nostalgic for a time when the custom chips were exciting and NEW in a way that is no longer true. He definitely didn't say Bayonetta ran well on those chips, and he doesn't say he "wants" nothing but custom chips.
The ratio of people saying they want hardware to stay relatively simple and easy to develop for versus people that are actually mad is not anywhere near what you are implying.
