There's a revolution going on in the video game industry.
The success of Nintendo's Wii is probably the most visible sign, but the industry upheaval extends beyond that. At its core, the revolution reflects a move away from costly, graphics-heavy games toward ones that are smaller and cheaper, and that put an emphasis on fun and new ways to play.
As with most revolutions, the one in the game industry offers some new possibilities, but it's also fraught with dangers.
San Francisco will be ground zero for the debate this week as industry workers and executives gather at the Game Developers Conference, starting today.
Meanwhile, signs of the revolution abound.
Having previously taken PC players on a journey into the unknown, it's now time for PlayStation and Xbox gamers to get ready to PERISH.
This is a public service announcement to reminds Helldivers 2 players that Reinforcement Stratagems are not to be used as Grenades.
Gameforge wants to maintain a level playing field for users and mitigate any P2W elements that may disrupt the integrity of Runes of Magic.
what the wii is, is the the ultimate winner of this console war... fanboys and haters can hardly speak anymore without choking everytime sales figures comes out.. now some say it doesnt matter that they system of choice is badly losing.. and with the games coming in 08 its going to get worse... the wii is innovation and that spells winner.
Okay so when Nintnedo uses Sonys tactic of shoving games out it's bad but not the other way around? Like ItsDubC says people focus in on the popular perception and not what the real perception is. PS1 and PS2 shows us that having too many crappy games is not a bad thing for if you have enough crap the good stuff will look even better. God of War, Ico, Dark Cloud, Final Fantasy would never be unless the 95% of crap wasn't released on the PS2 as well.
eyetoy?singstar?they were no revolution back then.
you hear lots of things these days.
Nintendo is just winning..
Forget about all these dumb reports, and storys.. Focus your direct attention to the worldwide charts.. There before you will show the true answer.. Crazed fans of other consoles can down talk Nintendo as much as they can.. But like it or not.. The masses have spoken.. They want a Wii..
Have a good day gamers.. Good day
you're right.i can't argue.damn.
but wasn't i making a point on something else.
people forge easily.as some respected developer
pointed out,in this industry,there seems to
be an unfounded consensus on describing
everything that nintendo does as
great or revolutionary,even though they are
simply copying what others trailblazed.now,
as to say that they don't do it well,is a simple
step that i won't take.
