"E3 has come and gone, and with it, a ton of new games and toys to get our nerdgasms all aflutter. Glasses free portable 3D systems, motion-controlled gamer interaction, and retro-fitting our current games with 3D are all tech that had convention attendees buzzing.
But at the end of the day, what a bunch of unwashed, over partied bloggers (you guys know I only say it out of love) think about the hottest prototypal and pipe-dream tech really doesn’t mean a thing. The people who really rise as the standard bearers for the next new thing aren’t gamers. They usually aren’t even technophiles. They’re the pornographers."
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Sony probably would have sold an incredible amount of consoles if they had allowed vivid in.
More or less than the people that would boycott in outrage I do not know. Probably more if I had to wager a guess.
Can't alienate the family market though.
I say leave it out. I applaud the gaming industry for leaving porn out in the cold! Neither Xbox Live or PSN needed porn to get to where they are! We certainly know Nintendo will never have anything to do with them!
Wow the article pic is from a July issue of PSM magazine. Why I remember that is beyond me :)
Chat Roulette is said to launch on Xbox Live Exclusively on the Xbox 360. LMAO xD
