Re: DIE INDUSTRY DIE!
Enter the Matrix sold like MAD, but its really an exception to the rule, do not ever bring up that game as an example. The best example of how good gameplay and graphics come together are Blizzard's games, you put the two together and you have something with a really long shelf life, which is the case with all Blizzard's… -
Re: DIE INDUSTRY DIE!
World of Warcraft is a poor example Vig, because it's one of the best looking MMORPG's out there. So infact graphics do help sell that game in compairison to it's competition. -R -
Re: DIE INDUSTRY DIE!
Ah, another question for the article: If good graphics+bad gameplay sells, why is it that Acclaim went bankrupt, Catwoman sold like shit and generally the best selling games also have great gameplay? A bad game selling is a fluke (happened how often in the last few years? Twice? Driver 3 and Enter The Matrix?). The big… -

More fist wagging and spear clattering of things that will never come... [ QUOTE ] On a theoretical basis, the rise in development costs is driven directly by Moore's Law. As hardware becomes capable of displaying better-detailed graphics and higher polygon counts, it becomes mandatory to provide them. [/ QUOTE ] I call BS… -

Re: DIE INDUSTRY DIE!
"The author was saying that to make a good game devs MUST use cutting edge tech which WoW proves him wrong." There's an exception to every rule and Blizzard is an amazingly horrible example to bring up in this case. WoW sold because everyone bought into it the second it was announced. There was never any question about WoW… -

[ QUOTE ] WoW sold because everyone bought into it the second it was announced. There was never any question about WoW being successful; it had all it needed from the moment it started being developed. All it needed was the Warcraft title and Blizzard on the box. Whether or not they made it into a good game and whether or… -

Re: DIE INDUSTRY DIE!
Blizzard's choice to be behind the tech curve is solely based on the idea that if the system requirements to run their games are low, then they'll be able to sell their games to a MUCH, MUCH wider audience. Makes sense, if you ask me. If you make a game that includes all the newest generation technology, you're limiting…
