Video games that don’t feature zombies are shit, it has emerged.
A study conducted by Oxford University has revealed that video games featuring anything other than the shambling undead are met with complete indifference by modern gamers, with many actually becoming completely overwhelmed with boredom mere seconds after being exposed to non-zombie related content.
The research team also discovered that the question gamers were most likely to ask themselves when deciding whether to purchase a new video game was “can I kill zombies?” shortly followed by “is there a mod that will let me kill zombies?”
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
It's official. This gen is the crappiest one EVER in the history of gaming. Every game is boring if it doesn't have zombies in it? What type of dipsticks did you ask?
Zombies and FPS are the most boring genre this generation except Day Z and L4D :D.
Because all we've gotten are FPS!
It apparently being too expensive to develop stories and plot doesn't help either.
1st person shooters/ DLC's/ zombies without horror
-current generation-
:(
I hope we will see more games like the last of us or heavy rain for the next gen ...
Games like CoD are so boring, dump and less innovative
This article is clearly a joke.
