But then again, video games are probably the only form of media in which the sequel is frequently better than the original.

True IMO.

Same with:

Wow, those are only like two of my favourite games ever. How many Pokemon are there these days, anyway? The last time I played a Pokemon game, I was bludging during a computer lesson in high school.

Actually this september they're releasing a remake of Gold and Silver in Japan! In the new style, with new moves and such. I really hated the last games(diamond,pearl,platinum) but I'm curious to see what they've done with the games. I hope they didn't change too much! Hopefully no new pokemon, just like in Fire Red/Leaf Green.
Fire Red was quite a pleasant remake. I enjoyed playing it, and especially liked the fact that there were NO new pokemon, everything was true to the old game.

Now there are... uh... 486 or so.. WAY too much. The new generation are all hideous and there's shitloads of new attacks. It's a shame. THey should've quit after the third generation, and just make a new world without new pokemon or moves..

Myeah, if this game dissapoints, I'm definitely done playing.

They could have an even bigger stage with even more TVs and even a 360 stage with Tvs everywhere.

He could do the Zoo Station start to the start of Maginificent!

It would certainly keep the bitchers busy.

Why would you want the band to repeat themselves? Isn't that the death of any good band? The moment they stop being innovative and renewing themselves?

i started a band once and called it U22. we were really good. a lot like U2.

monsieur fly · 08-28-2009, 05:34 PM

I don't think a self-conscious sequel is a good idea but I would like to see them reapply the strategies of ZOO TV. By that I mean alter-egoes; irony; commentary rather than preaching. U2 could really have mocked the internet very effectively in my view.

nielsgov · 08-29-2009, 02:27 AM

A ZOOTV 2 isn't a good idea for U2 but at least I could see ZOO TV with my own eyes!

The John Tree · 08-29-2009, 08:11 PM

If Bono were to go back and "play" MacPhisto again, I'm afraid it would be the first step to Bono actually becoming MacPhisto.

monsieur fly · 08-30-2009, 06:20 AM

Interesting point, John Tree, but I'm a bit more optimistic. Bono is not in danger of becoming some jaded lounge lizard. His mind is too fertile and his disposition too engaged for that to happen. I would love to see Macphisto return, especially in times like these- global recession, global warming, international terrorism. So much has happened since '93 which would make him relevant. I don't buy this idea that it's limp to resurrect characters, it's actually rather interesting in my view.

The John Tree · 08-31-2009, 06:04 PM

I can see how the idea would be appealing, i just think, in my opinion MacPhisto is so wrapped up in the early 90s that it would be hard for me to imagine him outside of it. ZOOTV was so ahead of it's time, but cable television isn't exactly groundbreaking technology anymore and MacPhisto himself seems to be a European creation, something to signify the shattered remnants of the Cold War.

I'd love to see Bono try and introduce new characters though. Wasn't there some talk of "Jerry", a prototype Bono was working on? Or was that just a way to explain that dreadful makeup he tried on at the beginning of the promo?
