"Hardcore gamers are typically self proclaimed, and always on the border of obsessive when it comes to games. They come in all shapes and sizes, all ages, colors and creeds, but have one thing in common – a deep love for gaming. Just as there is no genre that defines all games, there is no type of hardcore gamer that defines them all. For simplification, I've divided them into a few archetypes. Bear in mind, no one archetype will define a player - most gamers are a mix between the three."

As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
We are the hardcoriest bunch...I guess. But I know loads of core gamers too. And for the record, "core" is the dumbest and least original term I've ever heard.
I would have added some more classifications like the guy who plays more than anyone in the world, yet sucks a lot.
id say yea, Xbox owners are on average more hardcore than anyone else, but a good thing is we have a bigger diversification than other systems
Those are some pretty accurate statements. Sadly i dont fall into any of those categories, but for me that is a good thing.
