Innovation and originality: Does Microsoft have it?

After seeing Microsofts press event at E3 2008, you have been hearing people questioning there innovation and originality.

Well Phil Elliot over at Gamesindustry.Biz had a chance to talk with Corporate VP of Live, Software and Services, John Schappert.

He stated:

“I think you’re spot on,” he said. “Innovation doesn’t mean that you have to do something completely brand new.

“World of Warcraft is a wonderful example,” he continued, referencing the fact that both MMOs and roleplaying games existed before Blizzard’s online behemoth was released. “It’s a game that I completely love. Now I played many MMOs before that, but it was the only one I invested a serious proportion of my life in.

“I think it’s easy for people to say that it’s not as fresh and new as something that we haven’t heard of before.”

“At the same time we respect who our consumers are, and the next level of consumers that is going to come, and I think what we’ve found is a great art style that is artistic, not ultra-realistic, not too ‘kiddie’, and allows a great level of customisation – because that’s what it’s really about, personalisation and customisation.

“It’s an extension of your gamercard, gamertag, your achievemnents, your profile, and this is where you can make an avatar that you might use in racing games, that you might use in casual games, you can have multiple avatars. You can use them in games in future, hopefully win some items in games that you can dress your avatar with.

“So I think we settled on a pretty good art style,” he added.

    Wow i wonder what the average DLB reader is going to say.*Flame shield activated*

    Of coarse their somewhat innovative, but not so much as Nintendo. And sony isn’t on the level of Nintendo.

    I wouldn’t say their innovative, their more smart business people. I.E. exclusives and market demand.

    I agree with syanara, trying to follow the other companies into the same realm isn’t innovation. They are just trying to stay competitive and appeal to more crowds. I liked what dlb said in the last podcast about how microsoft is still trying to find themselves. That’s pretty close to what I think is going on here.

    Looking at their press conference, no, nothing was original. It was an attempt to appeal to casual gamers by following Nintendo. I think M$ acknowledge that they’re not being innovative to original right now, they’re happy to do whatever it takes to get one up on the competition. At the end of the day, it’s a business and they want to dominate the market.

    @ PS360Wii – What is the Xbox 360′s future? What games are coming out for the console in 2009? Do M$ even know what they have planned for the future or are they waiting for Nintendo to make the first move, so they can follow?

    Just like the announcement of FFxii coming to 360 Ms always have surprises. I know for a fact you started crying like a little 5yrs when you heard FFXII was no longer exclusive.

    Beside the avatars what don’t you tell me what else was a copy please do tell.

    You’re talking out of your ass. I’m not even a fan of the FF franchise, so you flopped with that insult. Sony have surprises too, but what’s funny is that Sony’s surprises are not “we’re getting a PS3 exclusive that we paid a lot of money for”. Instead, Sony’s surprises are NEW games. Yes, believe it or not they are focusing on games for the future. Crazy right? Do some research on the embargoed game that was shown behind closed doors at E3 and the other game that was shown to one of the BBC reporters.

    I don’t need to tell you what M$ copied. You can be in denial, if that makes you feel more secure.

    MS copied alot of things plain and simple….is it bad or good?? That’s yet to be determined, but there trying to make there mark in the “Causal” market. I mean there doing it with the Xbox Vision, Avatars(ie: Home-Mii’s) and Singing games(which the other companies have either did last gen or are doing this gen). And even the FFXIII thing wasnt that big of a deal really if you look at it. Sony still has it in Japan where JRPGs are king! So i think SE kinda fucked MS on that end of the deal. But that was a great biz move on MS part by taken a system seller away from its competition in the US and Europe markets.

    Let me say this in being unbiased. Microsoft gets on stage shows some titles I think we can all say were mediocre at best. Then shows the incredible hotness of Gears of War 2, and before that show in my opinion the mediocre title, Fable 2.” People it is sad when the only thing anyone remembers your conference for is a piece you stole off of Sony’s pie. Now the 360 dashboard was awesome, it fit right in with their slogan, “Jump In” I turn on a Xbox 360 and am sucked in by the cavorting logo which is followed by an explosion of color and portals that were intriguing and aesthetically breathtaking. Now instead of, “Jump In” the new dashboard with it’s generic and mundane feel seem to promote, “all right kids…storm clouds, everyone out!” Gears of War was hot but ll else seemed to be an attempt for Microsoft to appeal directly to the Sony and especially Nintendo consumers which is not impressive. I have yet to hear anyone, “truly” rant about anything strictly Microsoft, originality points they get are off brands of other companies hard work.

    Sony takes the stage and talks about nothing but exclusive titles, they introduce 60 gamers multiplayer which leads to 256 players multiplayer in an original IP. They release their video store that night, show a solid round up for not only this year but next year and show third party support for their brand. They still support Playstation 2 which is still either the first or second best selling console of all time (where was Microsoft’s Xbox line up? Or Nintendo’s Game Cube line up?) then they release info on the Hot PSP hand heald that is destroying the DS in Japan and beginning to do the same world wide. Sony is maintaining their flagship console while also supporting two other major consoles “simultaneously.” If Microsoft is wholeheartedly giving all their support and time to 360 and gained a year on its competition I should hope they do have sells through the roof. Sony markets their consoles as a family, many PS3 users are absent because they are still enjoying fresh new content on PS2, and PSP. Sony stated in their conference that, “The consumer should never have to choose between quality and quantity, they can have both.” While he was talking about games, the same can be applied to the family of consoles. Sony will not make its consumers get a PS3 because they stopped PS2 production, they opened an online PS Store which can allow PS2 users to have friend lists download content and just have fun. It is a sad day when people select Company A which manages to show two original titles and one that they casted money to and stole, over company B which is revolutionizing the industry. Mark my words, Sony is beginning to realize that exclusives are fine…but exclusives, “can be done elsewhere,” but the key is to make games that as Jack said “are only possible on PS3.” What everyone is about to see is another separation in the genre of game machines. Sony is about to do things that Microsoft’s machine simply can’t (and yes, that means no matter of money will make it possible). And if there is anything true gamers don’t like, it is getting cheap ports and especially ones that are in a multi-disk format. I am not biased, I will go where the best content is whether that is Microsoft, Nintendo or Sony. But in looking at these conferences it is clear that Sony was most substantial in show. And if anyone disagrees they are totally welcome to their argument, but in responding let us leave behind patronizing views that show nothing more than idle fanboy talk. Give good reasons to back your arguments, and let us all leave the wishful thinking at the door…it has no place here.

    1st off i am not a fan of one console i am a fan of all i just prefer the 360 over all of the others because of the way i can play with my friends online. what New game, MAG even other website says they are not going to judge until they see game play mechanics they’ve only screen shots.

    the new dashboard looks great and the way you can interact with the community is light yrs away from what sony can do right now. Just look at the way you have to put custom soundtrack in your games with your PS3, it up to the develops WTF. MS is ahead of Sony in the community and it show time and time again.

    So tell me what other game infamous straight copy of Prototype what else LA Noire not this yr keep going oh the Rockstar Exclusive let say 2010 anything else FFXIII verus that ok i have a PS3 and i’ll pick that up if it comes out next yr, lets go what else tell me i am here what else.

    to be honest Lips will be better the sing star especially when i can connect my Zune to it and pick a tract the game looks in its database to see is the song is there and if so uploads the words for you thats hot way way better sing star can offer, and avatar are going to be better then home.

    My man when you turn on you ps3 you are in your cross media bar where you have go to games press X on home then load it before you can get you friends into a game dude are you serious. 360 once you turn on your system this fall all you have to do is start a chat with up to 8 people did i say 8 yes i mean 8 and launch a game thats it.

    I do my research all the time b4 i post anything and if i am wrong i will admit to it but i am not wrong Sony has a lot of catching up to do.(A LOT) You say there focusing on games but Sony and even DLB states that Sony want to be a Media center with everything so how can they just focus on games, you want proof the video store. Didn’t Sony at e3 2006 say Blu-Ray was the Future and now there offering movies for Download, more proof rumble was the past motion detection is the future thats what the president said at e3 2005 oh shit now i have to pay an extra $60 for a rumble in my controller you want more proof Sony is way in back of 360 let me know hola.

    you know what dude? you are the one that is the fanboy becouse alot of your posts ever since myspace have been nothing but defending the 360 and putting down the ps3! the fact if the matter is that xbox360′s show at E3 this year was ridiculous! ALL THEY DID was steal ideas from other people! they stole the whole idea of miis/avatars from both home and wii, they stole the interface setup that is the SAME EXACT thing that apple ALWAYS uses and put it an a xmb type of line up. and what they considered to be there biggest announcement of the show they saved for the very end – they stole a ps3 exclusive that every xbox fanboy has been saying they dont care about for two years- FF13. out of everything they were proudest to announce that they stole a ps3 game. wow. just gos to show you how they think. the only nice thing that they announced was netflicks. besides that it was very boring.

    as for ps3 in the time of just a few days they gave us trophies,in game xmb,a new movie and t.v. store, then they showed resistance2,littlebigplanet, killzone2, AND they even showed god of war 3 and M.A.G. witch looks out of this world! and on top of all that they announced the 80 gig ps3 is only $400 dollars now! and with MGS4 out and home just around the corner i have to ask myself -what the fuck more do you want???

If anyone disagrees with me they are entitled to it, but let us leave the lack of support for our points at the door. PS360Wii, I appreciate your thoughts but to say that Sony is light years away from the community found on 360 is a joke especially since PS3 has had chat rooms forever and, Since you do your researches before posting do a google search on Home, it could help you. This is my hola toward you. )

    There will be a 2D counterpart to Home that allows you to do almost everything that you would in Home, from the XMB. They won’t force anyone to go into Home to use the new features such as party invites. So the Xbox 360 8 party invite isn’t unique at all. The issue here is Microsoft (see title) and I answered the question posed. The PS3 has nothing to do with it.

    Eh I would have to say it is the least innovative. Me personally I think Sony is making more innovative games and the wii is no longer for core gamers so I don’t count it as a gaming council anymore. Sony is being more innovative with games like LBP, MAG, PSEYE, EYE OF JUDGEMENT..ETC. Now after watching the press conference Microsoft just bit off most of Nintendo and Sony’s games and features. Psn also has a lot more exciting and innovative games (fat princess,siren, rag doll kung fu..etc) compared to XBLA. The only thing I can give Mircosoft credit for is making the multiplayer for online become so huge. Even tho that wasn’t their idea =/ it started on dreamcast

    its still a great value becouse BC is not a big deal at all becouse the ps2 is dirt cheep and everyone knows that if you are getting a ps3 than you are probably upgrading from ps2 so you can just keep your ps2 around anyways,what else would any sensible person do with it? becouse they give you like 20 dollars for it at a pown shop and not much more for it at any gamestop so you mine as well keep it.

    and BTW im no fucking kid! the only reason i even had a myspace was for DLBs blog and as for anything i sed to any little annoying as hell fanboy that went on a ps3 blog and did nothing but talk shit about ps3 i think i have every right to be mad and say what i feel like saying! becouse for 2 YEARS i have been getting my balls busted by xbox fanboys and when the one place that is supposed to be for ps3 gets attacked by fanboys that do nothing but talk shit i can get mad if i want to. DLB always sed that the whole reason he started his blog was becouse he wanted a place for ps3 gamers to get true news and be left alone by xbots. you obviously dont even like ps3 that much so i dont know why you bother posting here but what ever.

    Microsoft trys to appeal to everyone….only reason they dropped the console 50 bucks is because E3 was around the corner and because of supply and demand. Sony combined SKUs and i dont have a problem with that. Im getting pretty tired of these console wars also. Im happy with my purchase of a Playstation 3 and i really dont care if Final Fantasy XIII is not exclusive anymore because for Square Enix is only doing this for the mere fact that 360 has a large fan base in the United States. If Sqaure Enix needs the extra money for 360 owners…fine. As long as they keep the Final Fantasy franchise alive, i wont be upset at all. Someone also tipped me off that Final Fantasy Versus XIII or whatever its gonna be called is pretty much XIII’s storyline but a different type of battle system…is supposed to be released exclusively for the Playstation 3. Dont count on me for that though…..Square Enix might change thier mind about that too. And the 360 version of FFXIII will be only in the North America Region (Region 1 – NTSC)….so i dont care what Square ENIX does….as long as they keep on having that franchise going…….not a big deal to me…..hopefully for those playing FFXIII on 360 is not fighting an epic battle with a boss and it overheats….trust me….ive seen people cry when thier 360 decided to pull a Red Ring of Death

    2. He’s right, innovation doesn’t mean entirely new ideas. Sometimes it means taking something old and getting something new out of it. BUT that doesn’t mean that readjusting an old idea will equate innovation every time. Microsoft hasn’t done anything innovative since Halo, bringing the fps to the home console in such a tight manner. From what I’ve read, Halo wars seems to be doing the same thing for rts games (but I can only speak on this from word of mouth), but its still too early to tell.

    Let’s put this to rest already:

    Adj. 1. innovative – ahead of the times; “the advanced teaching methods”; “had advanced views on the subject”; “a forward-looking corporation”; “is British industry innovative enough?”
    forward-looking, advanced, modern
    progressive – favoring or promoting progress; “progressive schools”
    2. innovative – being or producing something like nothing done or experienced or created before; “stylistically innovative works”; “innovative members of the artistic community”; “a mind so innovational, so original”
    groundbreaking, innovational
    original – being or productive of something fresh and unusual; or being as first made or thought of; “a truly original approach”; “with original music”; “an original mind”

    Nothing in there says anything about copying and pasting with a view additional parts.

    I listen to Major Nelson nothing on PS3 he actually has one, PS Beyond IGN podcast no 360 bashing, Playstation Nation from Ps3fanboy.com no bashing there dude all they do is bash or and I watch and listen to hiphopgamer show come to find out he was invited to E3 and not DLB i wonder why.

    the only reason why i defend 360 is because this site is for gamers and 80% of you on this site trash and bash the 360 and a gamer like myself have to let you 80% know where I stand and I have to defend the 360 cause 80% that bash the 360 don’t even own one, Sorry to those 80%.

    When i was 14 I had a SNES, my best friend across the street has Sega system. He wouldn’t shut up about how good sonic was. Because I only had the SNES i had to make myself believe that Sega wan’t as good as Nintendo, because my parents wouldn’t buy me another console. Long story short, Nobody wants to pay four hundred dollars, to just be told months later that they’ve wasted their money on an inferior console.

    i never hear bashing on this site until people like you say negative shit and i own a 360 i stated that before you just automatically think everyone here owns only one system your just ignorant son of a bitch your not a gamer your a fanboy in a mask pretending not to be a fanboy i may seem to bash the 360 but im upset with it and all its problems just leave you don’t say one thing bad about 360 like its flawless everyone here said something bad about BOTH systems if you read under posts

    well PS360wii, there is something to be said of cold hard facts. If you were truly a gamer you would be looking for substantial content which 360 just doesn’t have. As I said before (let me make it clear) just as people no longer compare PS3 and Xbox 360 to wii, we are about to see another separation in the Genre of platforms. On one hand you will have the wii, “Wii want to play.” On the other hand you will have the 360 “Jump In if you want an elevated gaming experience with more serious multi-media content.” Then their is the always multitasking PC. And then you will have Sony where you, “Play B3YOND,” the perfect mix between the PC and gaming elevated. If you cannot see the mass market that Sony has in their family you are a fanboy…plain and simple. You are not a true gamer if you cannot appreciate each platform for what it offers. PS360wii I think you need to rethink your, “true gamer” position…it does not fit you well. Sony is offering the only true next generation experience out there while supporting three other dominating consoles, winning most innovative brand, and winning the next gen format war. Since Microsoft relies so much in quantity they should take a look at Sony, then break out a pen and pad to take some notes on, “QUALITY.”

    True, when your argument has been debunked people get quite, and their input much shorter. I have no problem with Gods blessings, that’s why I say the same to him or her.

    I do have one issue though, If you haven’t seen me on MOE it’s because my PS3 overheated. I had it in too small an area….it was full of dust. I’ll get it back next month :)

    Yo PS360Wii…I got no beef with you either man, as far as I am concerned speak your mind…that’s what this is here for (but realize others can as well). I just would like if people would learn to not be generic with hard topics because hard topics most often require at least good supporting points (that was not a shot at you).
