Yeah, I get your reference. Although, I would think "All Play" is simply an open invitation to everyone rather than demographic, like Touch! Generations. But nonetheless I see your point.

well , sound like they wanted cater to retards.

Well if Dead Space gets good reviews it could be a hit, but EA is known for just throwing shit out regardless of how good or bad it is which kind of put them in this situation. So Wii fans don't get your hopes up.

Yeah, let's see how it goes. I hope they're not rushing this out to get some quick cash...

 


If it hits late this year or 1Q 2010 it could be good depending on if they already started development.

Ah, right...



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Again, what sports fan wants to buy something marketed like this?

Whoever came up with those boxcovers deserves to be in the unemployment line. My god, you can't even tell it's a football game.

Anyone who has any clue about how much work goes into game development in particular (or software development in general) knows that there is an order of magnitude of work difference between the HD games and the Wii games

Wow you are brazen.  Unbelievably so.

I give up.  Believe what you will.  Pretend the 3rd party publishers are "dumb", and that you could do a better job.

Because they have been. And he's brazen because you have repeatedly stated stupidity that has been disproven in tons of interviews. Give up because what you are saying is bullshit, makes no sense and is HD fanboy drivel.

I know, I should trust the anonymous guy on the internet who claims to be a game developer and yet has little understanding of (practically) everything related to game development ... Games that have 12 to 18 month development cycles involving teams of 40 to 60 developers obviously cost more than games with 3+ year development cycles that are produced by 100+ developer teams

if this guy is a developer then we know why the industry is in the sorry shape it is. Its these types of devs that are causing the industry to die. And the marketing depts are thinking just like them.
