Beerandvideogames.com - Video games and obsolescence have a close relationship, for better or worse. On the one hand, if it wasn’t for the constant electronics arms race to craft more and more innovative games and hardware, we'd all still be hammering away at Commodore 64s and Colecovisions. On the other hand, the industry can be an unforgiving bitch, more than willing to bury entire styles of games to make way for their superior descendants.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
Who ever wrote this article mustn't get out much because those genres are huge, especially in japan.
Touhou? This is a recent shmup that came out and it's insanely popular. Shmup's are fun, and they're not past their prime.
Fighting games? Wow, you couldn't be more wrong. Blazblue Continuum Shift is really popular in arcades and fighting games sell better than most genres on console now, although you mentioned that.
Turn based RPGs? Now that's a joke.
You claim there's no innovation in that genre, point our pokemon and Dragon quest... WHICH SHOULDN'T CHANGE but completely fail to mention all turn based RPGs that innovated the genre a lot like Valkyria Chronicles, Persona, Disgeae, ect
It doesn't matter if you and maybe some of retarded beer bodies lost interest in a few genres because you aren't interested in them anymore and don't have the time to play good games with complex systems and would much rather play crap like MW2 and iphone apps with easy to understand RPG-like systems but that DOES not mean these genres are past their prime or anything your silly, uneducated mind can come up with.
