Re: The state of the games industry
I agree that style will become more important as realism becomes standard issue, the same way that photography jump started the modern art movement. I totally disagree with this idea thats being thrown around that games are about mechanics and movies are about stories. thats total BS. Nothing is that black and white and… -
Re: The state of the games industry
im sure someones said it already, but it sounds like your playing too many PC games, buy a DS and see how stagnent that market is, both creativly, and moolah wise. the maket shifts from time to time, sometimes consoles lead the way sometimes PCs and sometimes handhelds, if you looks at a certain sector of the market and… -
Re: The state of the games industry
i think 'stagnant' would have been more appropriate a year or year and a half ago but recently there seems to be more experimental type games with the DS and the Wii coming up. i mean one of the most popular games of the last year or so is Guitar Hero. as for story some have it some don't. i prefer a good story in a game.… -

Slaps forehead. Verm! "Yes" is rarely an answer to a question that begins with "How." And does the game buying public really want "realistic storys". Zuma on the XBox Live Arcade is currently one of my favorite games. It needs no story to be entertaining and challenging. The stories in the Final Fantasy series appeal to… -
Re: The state of the games industry
For me, stories and plots are for movies. Multiplayer is where its at. Many PC games are built around multiplayer. Sports games are about having your buddies over and doing tournaments. Same for racing games. X-Box live is giving console gamers even greater multiplayer options. The holy grail of hyper-realism is coming… -
Re: The state of the games industry
Now its getting juicy. I fully agree with you on that point. I am working on a TC mod for an old game for that exact reason. I liked the origional game back in 2000 and have played it off and on in multiplayer ever since. I have spent the better part of a year learning the mod tools for it and now I am learning model…
