I see a rise in PC gaming from free to play, kickstarter projects, and STEAM. I almost forgot that Japanese game developers are finally supporting the PC gaming market like Capcom or Namco along with Japanese indies. I mean La Mulana, Cave Story, Satazius, Street Fighter 4, Devil May Cry 4, rusty hearts, etc. Man is a great time to be a PC gamer oh how could forget the supposedly dead genres like adventure games like to the moon, Gemini Rue, the next big thing, sur...
STEAM is a online gaming service sent from heaven. Cheap extremely cheap games no longer I needed to spend $60.00 plus tax for games , deal with on line passes or with the PS3 constant useless game updates or being shoved to the side due to Playstation Qore members were ignored and thrown down the gutter for Playstation Plus service. To us Qore members we were promised early beta access for all PS3 games, I assumed I was going to get free games because I received through Qor...
I like this blog now allow me to opinion on my reflection of this generation. Frankly speaking it has been a let down for me as console gamer vet. Well I lost a lot of options and choices like map editors which only like two or three console games offer, meaningless alternate endings which is just red and blue, no free unlockables, no alternate paths, or mini games plus cheat codes are non existent. My original plan for this generation was to use the PS3 as an OEM computer and a gam...
The way I see it the reason why the Apple iPhone is a success in Japan besides it's aesthetics is because unlike Japanese phones is easy to use meaning everything a Japanese wants to use on an IPhone is a click away not like their Japanese phones were they have to go through a lot of menus, hoops, etc. Apple just simplified the ui and experience of a smartphone while making it look elegant. Now the xbox 360 failed due to its RROD, error E74, disc tray jamming plus having to pay for o...
If only gamers were allowed to attend E3.
But you have to pay for xbox live gold in order to access those features. I have a smart tv got it for $565.00 120 fps 1080p which already offers Skype and Netflix free meaning no paying for an extra service. That is going to be an issue with xbox one that all those features we saw at the announcement will be for live gold members.
To each is own, Umm in my opinion indies have brought creativity and innovation. Along with nostalgia plus they are fun creative challenging games. I do respect your opinion and just sharing my opinion that is all
Enter the Ouya
You forgot to mention that indies bring innovation and creativity while mainstream games just the same tired franchises the same run of the mill shooter and once in a blue moon a creative title may appear.
Who cares EA is a horrible company anyways what with online passes and is the company that shuts it's servers for online games in three months or less I. e Ufc. S no worries here if I want a soccer game I will get PES 2014. Why should I as a gamer support the company that won worst company in America two years in a row.
Well said and a little bit better than my stand in regards to the wii u.
I do not see the wii u lasting very long it's online service lacks party chat, spectator mode, steam like deals, indie games, able to record and share your greatest /worst moments while playing online, true skill, etc. Second it's system uses current generation technology ; it lacks x86 architecture (since third party game developers no longer want to develop for propetiary architecture anymore). Zero support from hateful EA (sadly the dreamcast felt partly due to having ze...
While I do love your blogs I disagree. Nothing to do with hating Nintendo, meaning that the wii u not only lacks power and at the moment it's exclusives ( New Super Mario brothers u, Nintendo land, Lego city under cover, zombie u are the only exclusives the rest are ports of games from years ago or last year). This system lacks x86 architecture the architecture of PC gaming and this systems' rivals which will lead to lack of third party support. Also it lacks EA support ...
Very nice article and I agree game developers/publishers should get into talks with retailers in regards with the used game market
I think is the PS4 not the weakling wii u
I am not sure but game developers know the technical specifications of the wii u.. Due to the lack of third party game support it can be speculated the wii u is weak.
Like the blog and what are your favorite indie games. Ummm how is traveler tales an indie game developer?
Yes the witness is a game I want to try along with some delicious survival horror games like amnesia a machine for pigs, among the sleep, asylum , etc. Don't forget distance is an arcade racing game with track editor also available for Linux. Independent game developers have proven to bring quality innovative titles at reasonable prices.
I hope not that would be bad
At least with kickstarter game developers are competing for gamers hard earned money as opposed getting the approval of a corporate publisher or the green light for one of the big three. I also like the fact that gamers have more control of the games they want, direct contact with the developer (no middle men)......
