A new wave of home consoles is provoking fear in the traditional video game sector and will accelerate the decline of innovative games, according to Doublesix CEO James Brooksby.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
Super Mario Maker's last level has been beaten, after Trimming the Herbs was revealed to be totally bogus.
A new rumor suggests the next Xbox console is currently being tested by developers in South Korea.
If true, hopefully a fully fledged next gen console and not some unnecessary mid gen refresh system.
It could be that rumored Xbox portable, who knows
Could be the refresh console perhaps? I doubt it'll be the new console. Might be the portable rumored device.
Regardless the fact we're talking about new hardware already is absolutely pathetic. Barely any current gen stuff out and the stuff that is out or coming is at 30 fps or doesn't, doesn't look current gen and what have you.
All we're doing is chasing power and not creating the games to harness said power.
Worse generation so far easily.
It was reliably leaked just a month ago that MS hadn't signed contracts for next gen till literally weeks ago- the same leakers that correctly leaked that hi fi rush and pentiment and sea of thieves were going to ps5. So this is very very very unlikely- if not impossible. Also it's way too early....
I don't see this happening like they say it will. They should quit claiming that this will be destructive to innovative games. The technology will be more complex and the equipment will be more expensive but I see no end to creativity.
If that happens ill just stick with the old ones.
gaming is not in a great position right now
costs keep increasing, talent and originality keep decreasing.........
the gap between what consumers want and what devs think we want is increasing.......
Well, I agree that increasing development costs and longer cycles to turn around new games will certainly make the bigger publishers wary of taking risks, but I'm not sure that any of that is new to console gaming. How many of the same old platformers were gamers forced to play in the 16-bit days because that's what was popular? Digital distribution can certainly recreate a gaming dev "middle class" that seems to have been disappearing. And gamers will eventually tire of zero originality, creating a backlash against what companies taking no risks are doing. You can bet that if customers start moving in droves away from consoles, those companies will change their strategies fast. I've also been seeing a lot of rumors that Sony and MS will be pushing more input originality than pure graphical power, next gen, for the very reasons that developers are worried about: out-of-hand dev costs and indifferent fans...
It's not just the developers and publishers that are concerned. I think a lot of gamers are concerned too. Besides lack of innovation and costs, another thing that bothers me is the way DRM is getting more and more invasive on the consoles. Though I am a PC gamer at heart, I have been doing a lot of gaming on the consoles this generation to avoid the draconian DRM nonsense that is flooding the PC market, but if things are going to get just as bad on the console front, I'm wondering if I even want to bother with next gen consoles. Hopefully all the rumors I've been seeing on the net are not true.
