Gamers are tipically 10-35. Do you really think women under 35 watch Oprah? I'd say no...
I was talking about casual games rather than casual audiences. Either way, there is a problem in the way games are marketed, probably because they're made mostly by men for men. It's tough to figure out what would work better in order to change the image this society has regarding video games, but if they had been marketed a different way all along, perhaps women wouldn't feel like games are just for guys. It's just the way we perceive things, but that doesn't mean it can&...
Time to make a move and start targeting women so they consume real video games too, not just casual ones! I know of a few who play anything from Ninja Gaiden and God of War to Plants vs. Zombies and Mario Kart or SoulCalibur, so there's definitely interest out there. It's just our culture insists on targeting men and acting as if only men are going to like it. If only they took the time to change things around, tailor certain things towards a more neutral audience, and so on, maybe wo...
Very excited about Uncharted and Ninja Gaiden too. :^P
Very excited about many of those games, but Nintendo's gonna rock this E3, no doubt about it. They always keep things under wraps until E3, and Mario for 3DS is gonna be sweet! Sony on the other hand... not sure about them this year, despite the NGP. Very excited about a new God of War though :)
Very excited about God of War IV. I do think they're putting them out a bit too quickly, but as long as they show us what they have and then wait until 2012 to release it, I'm happy. I just hope it's more epic than GOW 3. It was really good but I expected more! A bit boring towards the end especially...
Love Walter Bishop! :) Still haven't played the game but I think I will. Those who played it, do you think it has enough action to be enjoyed as a game? I liked Heavy Rain, but it didn't feel as much like a game and I'm afraid same thing would happen with LA Noire.
LOL
Can't wait to find out more about this game! hopefully there'll be more info after E3. I'm ready to play #3!
I have to agree for the most part. Fable III wasn't at all the hit everyone was expecting, and for a reason. I think they set the bar high in Fable II and then they couldn't deliver something new with the next one, which is why 2 was popular. Hopefully they'll take their time to make #4...
I'm definitely very excited about the 3DS Mario. I hope it releases in 2011! As for the new Wii... luckily it's not coming out till 2012, because I'm tired of buying new systems! Very cool that it's going to have HD graphics though. About time! I'm sure they're gonna have an exciting press conference, the best of all 3 for sure. Sony will have to start with apologies, and that's not a good start.
I do remember having a really hard time with the Stallord fight. Spinning wasn't my thing and it took me a while to get the hang of it. Of course it's a memorable boss and it was gratifying when it all ended... The battle against Cronos... yes, it was awesome and epic like no other!
And Gary Oldman for Revolver Ocelot works too and somehow Cillian Murphy for Psycho Mantis! Haha
I love the 3DS too. The lack of a solid software line-up is what's really hurting it. I thought for sure it would have come out with Ocarina of Time, but they screwed up by releasing the system before the game. It would have given it a push for sure. It's no wonder no one feels the need to upgrade! However, wait until Ocarina, Kid Icarus, Mario and others come out and everyone will flock to it. The 3DS is truly impressive with some games, and it's best to play it at home to immers...
Been listening to this one already. Pretty good stuff, especially for the first podcast! Good theme also. Seems like it has high production values and it's original.
Sonic? Bad? Noooooo!! Well, a little, but it was great for its time. Nothing beats Super Mario Bros. though. As for Castlevania...
Better safe than sorry. Waiting until E3 would be a hassle, but having them do it half-assed would be worse, so I hope they do everything possible to protect the data from now on. It's ridiculous that we may have to go and change our credit cards... >:(
I havent played it yet but i can't wait. It just looks so good!
As far as i'm concerned, they might as well get rid of the multiplayer! well, no need to get rid of anything, but I truly could care less. To me, it's all about the story / single-player.
Second half of the video looks interesting if you like puzzle adventures. I'd give it a try :)
