Oh, cause BLACK was f'ing innovative as all hell...

Recently Alain Tascan, general manager for EA Montreal gave a little interview concerning his thoughts about Gears of War. Basicially he tells everyone that the game looks good but fails because it doesn't innovate.

Seriously is EA out of their fucking minds? Not that I'm saying Gears of War is the greatest thing ever, but if there's one company that has no grounds to claim other companies don't innovate it's EA. Whether or not the claim is true EA has no ground to talk, though it makes a pretty good definition for the pot calling the kettle black.

Hey EA, adding new stadiums to the 13th version of Madden doesn't count as innovation.

Like our own Harpua Scorpio said over on Kotaku's comments, "Oh, cause Black was fucking innovative as all hell..."

From the interview:

... Tascan said, "What is Gears of War? I mean Gears of War brings nothing in terms of innovation to the shooter... Like, zero. Only two very brave UK-based journalists said, 'You know what, Gears of War is a great game but it's like what Quake was a few years ago.'" "Why are people loving it so much? It's like added production value, incredible cutscenes and the best ever graphics ever. I'm sure it's going to be a great success, I can't wait to play it, but let's face that graphics are still number one," Tascan continued. He then used the comparison of a nice looking girl you might see in a bar and go up and talk to, "And if she's smart enough, that's the gameplay. "I'm not talking about my tastes, I'm just saying, when you go to metacritic and you see a 96 for Gears of War, then you read the critics saying, 'Okay, storyline - there's none, gameplay is not innovative...' Then I say, why did they give this 96? They were blown away by the high quality of the graphics... Myself, I prefer something more creative," Tascan concluded.

I like where they say Gears is like Quake a few years ago. You guys forgot to mention that one's a FPS and the other isn't.
