The videogame industry's speedbump and what I hope is on the other side.

I totally agree with this article about 2010's E3... even though I wasent there, I can only guess how lame it was.

What I hope for after the industry decides to actually create real innovations again? a real good fpsmmorpg, simple as that.

The immersiveness of wow with the combat style of bad company, all created by a team of creative people with a wild imagination that can bring us a world of awesomeness.
Obviously they would need to tackle problems like realism/fun balance, things like realistic safe zones that are only %99 safe, like say huge bases with advanced defences, that take either extreme stealth or a massive army to penetrate. A well thought out economy that people will enjoy using, like in wow. Great weapons and technology that have varying uses, not just guns and explosives. The worlds have to be massive, depending on what era its placed in, most likely 1900's-way future intergalactic stuff. Whatever era it is in the game has to be stylish. be it a full military feel like battlefield, a space feel like kotor, or something totally different and creative.

Anyways thats my rant. fuck 3d tv's and all that shit.



p.s. if there was one thing you hope the videogame industry will create in 20 years what would it be? simple or grand

RIP Interplay.


edit: games that are made by non gamers turn out to be shiny pieces of shit. car cry 2 is a good example. sick graphics, horrid gameplay.

I think shit went wrong when licenses got signed for too long, and were locked to only ONE console - and games went dead. For example, when's the last time anyone's seen a good Formula 1 game? How about Grand Turismo ONLY for Sony. Drake/Drake 2 ONLY for PS3. Etc etc.

Personally, I think Sony fucked the market because when it was on top of the world with the Playstation 2, it bought out to many rights, licenses, franchises etc. and then just stopped producing them. What game company wants to make games for only ONE company's profit? Doesn't make sense.

Plus, when gaming got popular, too many game studios came outta the wood works - especially shit ones like DICE, Acclaim etc. (I know, this one is opinion-based, I'm just trying to set an example of my arguement).

Shit's fucked, and I refuse to pay for console. $400+ systems; $100 games? Is that a joke? That's on par with a decent golfing expense per year lol

PC will save the industry, because everyone can play - it's happy times. Now that Mac is in the mix, that "boring, expensive, non-game-playing" computer suddenly looks even more appealing. Let alone that PC and Mac can play together on most games - SICK feature, thank GOD that happened. Games like Mass Effect/Mass Effect 2, Valve games, Left4Dead/Left4Dead2 and all of the other incredibly creative games will only become more abundant in the pc market, I believe, and eventually, Sony and Nintendo will have to get their asses in the computing market to compete with Microsoft - the one company that never loses profit no matter WHERE the industry leads.
