Oh man I forgot about that!The only reason I say it's the second worst is because that FPS Activision game based on the show came out some time ago. Before that though, yeah.
I miss the good ol' days of HHN.The new age of IP cash grab is lackluster in the creativity dept for sure.
I don't have any problem with that.Agreed, the days of Roddy where the whole event was pure originality was amazing...now they watch a movie or a show, point at the screen and say "That'll make a cool house, lets do that"
yup, although marketing has a big say in it now. I'm more excited for HOS this year than HHN. HOS has some pretty cool original ideas which I'm a sucker for...not this IP crap.Agreed, the days of Roddy where the whole event was pure originality was amazing...now they watch a movie or a show, point at the screen and say "That'll make a cool house, lets do that"
But I do, what made HHN so unique and amazing is they took the ideas of a place like Netherworld, and blew it up to a huge scale and nothing ever before seen.I don't have any problem with that.
My problem is making the event centered around one (crappy) property.
IPs for permanent attractions and HHN is a totally different beast.Well I will chime in as a Walking Dead fan, that while this is a little overboard, I am excited about it. I know a lot of you dont like the overuse of IPs, but it is the overuse of IPs (Harry Potter, Simpsons, WD last year) that has given CC the extra $$$ to do the amazing things they are doing. So I can do original items that will only appeal to select group of fans, or I can substantially broaden my customer base by utilizing proven IPs. Hmm, I would be disappointed if they didn't choose the IP route, especially when you see their recent track record when given a in flux of cash.
And it's also different to have a bunch of IP's that will appeal to people (one WD sz and one WD maze) than it is to give the WD ALL of the sz's and a maze. Many of us are not bothered by IP's... but this is something entirely different. This is pandering.IPs for permanent attractions and HHN is a totally different beast.
HHN has ALWAYS been a huge moneymaker for them. IPs aren't going to change that.
Completely agree.And it's also different to have a bunch of IP's that will appeal to people (one WD sz and one WD maze) than it is to give the WD ALL of the sz's and a maze. Many of us are not bothered by IP's... but this is something entirely different. This is pandering.
