Why all the hate for this game? I think it looks great. Plus, it'll give my Wii some much-needed use.
Yeah, things are different, so what? Climax has said multiple times that this game is not a remake. It's not part of the actual canon. They shouldn't be restricted by what the first game had. That would result in just a prettier version of the PS1 classic, which I don't really want. If I wanna play SH1, I'll play SH1.
They're not even using the same title as the original. The subtitle alone puts distance between this and SH1.
Look at it this way... If this game had a different title and you saw it, would you still be saying the game sucks? If so, then you have valid reason to dislike the game. But I bet that over half of the haters would be looking forward to it if they could just get past their own pettiness. It's just a shame that a lot of people are going to miss out on this game because of fanboyishness.

Miss out on it? Hell no, if it sucks, I want to validly poo on it. And if it's going to be great, then it's a win-win situation. ^^

I don't think there really has been a lot of hate for this game. There's been plenty of skeptisism, which is to be expected, but I think that a lot of people are looking forward to this game. I also think that 'why the hate' threads are kindof unneccesary. AlexY, you know, I never thought that black mages did poop. I mean, under those cloaks, it doesn't seem like normal body functions would occur.

We BMs are top dogs under the cloaks. Ladies approve of us too. (We're not black for nothin'. ) On topic, I saw a gameplay trailer that seemed excellent - flowing gameplay, lovely atmosphere and a satisfying slower pace.

I look forward to it quite a bit. I think they have a lot of the right ideas. I'm very skeptical though as well naturally.
More than anything, I simply need to play it before I really judge~

Noooo, I'M alone.
And I, for one, welcome our new SH Wii overlords. I'm also looking forward to trying the game. Whether or not it will be good remains to be seen.

I'll give it a try on the PS2, I'm already wondering if a "Things the new Harry and the new gang would never say" thread would be unnecesary.

Heehee, I'd been thinking about what we would call that thread this time.
How about:
Things Harry and the game wouldn't say AGAIN
Things Harry with glasses and the gang wouldn't say
Diet Vanilla Cherry Dr. Things Harry and the gang wouldn't say
On topic, I do think there's a lot of potential for this game. Skeptisism is one thing, but it's too early for hate.

I'm easily pleased so I'll like the game anyway. We also have a Wii now, yay, so I can play it how it's meant to be played. Of course there is skeptisism and some people who downright refuse to play the game at all, but I've seen loads of people who are looking forward to it. I don't think it gets as much hate as some series do. Just look at the RE5 is racist because it's set in Africa videos that were thrown up on youtube a while back.

I also think that 'why the hate' threads are kindof unneccesary. I disagree, there are plenty of game hatin' threads out there, so "why the hate" threads are typically from a more positive perspective. The other side of the arguement.

I just found the game to be too boring to stick with. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood (which would be a first for a SH game) or maybe it was because you just pretty much run around collecting things (yet I love doing that in the Myst games). Maybe I'll give it a try again in the future, but I just wasn't all that impressed.
