Creator Backlash/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* Both ''Zelda'' creator [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and director Eiji Aonuma have expressed their regrets in the production of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]''. They don't dislike the game at all, but feel that it never turned out the way they had envisioned it. Miyamoto simply stated that he felt it was "missing something", and Aonuma felt that he didn't create the game that was intended to be "120% of what ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' was".

** Miyamoto wasn't exactly too fond of his involvement in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' either, as stated in an interview found in the official Player's Guide. Again, he didn't ''hate'' it, but felt it wasn't what he'd have liked it to be.

* ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'''s writer, Erik Wolpaw, is absolutely sick of "[[The Cake Is a Lie]]" jokes that [[Memetic Mutation|spawned nonstop]] from the game.

** ...which turned out, ironically, to be a lie. There are TWO references to cake, but they's subtle, easily missed and nowhere near as in-your-face as the original references. Apart from that, there are no more cake jokes, even to the point of removing cake icons from existing test chambers that re-appear in the second game.
