He let some of his biases become too apparent, particularly when saying you feel like an idiot jumping on a platform in 3-D Mario, but not in 2-D Mario. But he's right on the money with this article. The Atari 2600 and NES really need to be looked at by every game developer for several reasons. EVERYBODY knows what Frogger, Pitfall, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Donkey Kong are. Everybody. Now only nerds know about new huge games like Uncharted. Games have come a long way since then, but we lost a lot of gamers along the way. I know several people who stopped playing games when they went 3-D, because they thought they were too clumsy, too ugly, and had really bad controls for moving your character and the camera at the same time. @yushire, you don't need DLC to save gaming. What do you mean by that? DLC is a crutch for sloppy development, or nickel-and-diming. The only good DLC is free, and when it's not unlocking something already on the disc, and isn't making a gap between rich lazy gamers and broke gamers who can't buy their way to the top. |
I agree with you but saying that everyone knows something doesn't make it a good argument
