These days, when anything to do with violence makes it to the press, it is immediately blamed on Gaming. For example, just today news has been flying around the internet about a boy accidently hanging himself with his Xbox 360 wires, but of course it had no direct relation with gaming itself. Of course, headlines by all the major news outlets are being exploited and exaggerated so that at first glance, it seems it was because of the Xbox 360 that he hung himself - which isnt true; it was just a tragic, and rare accident.
Now, on a more brighter note, an interesting revelation has come to pass that suggests gaming isn't a source for all the violence and hatred in this world.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. 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.
Amen.
So true right? How many fights at E3?
But it just goes to show how retarded sports fans can be. Especially basketball. Every time the NBA finals comes around the winning team's fans fuck their city by being so happy. I've never understood how breaking shit is analogous to being happy, especially when you're breaking your own shit.
But if there is a cause for violence in the media, it's TV and movies. Almost every single movie that involves any action ends when the good guy kills the bad guy. Even in Disney movies, good triumphs over evil and evil is vanquished (killed). Then you look at shows like 24 where on average of 5-10 people are killed every episode.
People need to fucking relax about games.
The crowd at E3 were calm geeky video game professionals looking at future video game releases. The crowd at the game were worked up basketball fans watching a final game. Huge difference.
If you can't handle gaming, you shouldn't play it...
