Today I came across a very, very funny article in which Gerhard Florin, a senior executive at Electronic Arts, said game consoles as a platform will soon become obsolete. This is why that will never happen.
When I say "that will never happen," I mean it will never happen unless we discover some crazy new technologies that revolutionize the way we game.
With that said, Florin had this to say regarding the future state of gaming consoles in a recent BBC piece:
We want an open, standard platform which is much easier than having five which are not compatible … We're platform agnostic and we definitely don't want to have one platform which is a walled garden … I am not sure how long we will have dedicated consoles - but we could be talking up to 15 years.
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.
Why EA's wrong = Because it's EA. They are wrong about everything except making money from bad-yearly games.
That will happen if we keep buying products branded with the name Microsoft. Why is MS losing several 1st party developers? It's because they're probably saving up for something big. If they bought EA then they basically will have the monopoly in the gaming industry.
i don't remember the last EA game that i bought or considered a must have.
i would love to be at the negotiation table where EA explains to the console makers how they (console makers)are going to make money on this EA system.
is EA ever rite?
