Ed Smith of IBTimes UK writes: "I want to pull games away from that lucrative, pocket-monied core market of teenage boys. But how? Well,with the next generation of consoles, hopefully.
"I hope it happens; I hope games become more expensive on the consumer end.
"I want teenage boys to be priced out of videogames, basically. I'm hoping for videogames that will appeal to grown-up tastes. Money is a language publishers and console makers understand. If they find all of sudden that their target market is now watching Newsnight, they'll have to start watching Newsnight, too."
Set to bring action adventuring to PC and console, Mark of the Deep is a narrative rich game which mixes in some decent ideas
Confused about all the different shot types? Well, here is a quick and easy guide for each shot in TopSpin 2K25.
Speaking with Game Rant, Ark director Jeremy Stieglitz outlines the approaches taken to adapting the game's plot for the animated series.
the average age of a gamer is 20-30 (30-37 in the 2005 survey, excluding iphone, pc, and only includes consoles and gaming handhelds), this comes from the entertainment software association. This means the majority of gamers are around your age or higher already. I have teenage casual gamer friends who like COD, madden, and thats it. I also have friends who would rather play uncharted, journey, SMG, and metal gear. You really can't only blame the teenagers for the popularity of games like COD, since it's gamers of all ages who buy it and will continue to do since it's 'cool' right now.
Also not everyone wants a serious game with underlying messages and such ( young and old) the majority of people, like it or not, just play games to pass the time and to have fun. They don't want games about about watergate, they want games about raceing and shooting and other simple stuff. that's where the money is and that's where game companies will stay as long as it's there. With or without the younger audience.
P.S I'm also still in my teens so my view may be biased
Most teens don't buy their own games with their own money. Their parents front them the cash, so I don't see how this will change anything.
Been gaming since intellivision console "BURGER TIME"
i'll stop gaming when they open my coffin lol... even then gaming on psp haaaaaaaaa
Like this mens above me said teenagers get parents to buy games so it would only stop, "older" people that still have bills and stuff to pay, it would stop them from buying games so much
and you said you were 23 in the article if I'm not mistaken, your not that much older then the people that are playing these AAA titles FPS's so get off you high horse your not so much more sophisticated then everyone else.
lastly so that type of games are you looking for..... there is quite a variety of different good style games out there that are not just all FPS's.
