The three big console developers, previously unchallenged in their supremacy, have become complacent swine, out of touch with the modern gamer. They keep making games that they already made because they know they will sell, not because they will be challenging, creative, or fun. How many times has Zelda been remade? Do we really need yet another Mortal Kombat, Twisted Metal, or Halo game? The snake is eating its own tail.
If by "previously unchallenged", you mean that Apple wasn't in the game market, well...just who do these guys think they are? They weren't challenged before, and now since Apple wants to join the fray, all of a sudden the companies that define gaming (something that is a joke, a literal joke, on Apple platforms) are being challenged and are complacent for doing what they do best?
Nintendo changed things up with the Wiimote and got themselves back in first place, and that's complacent? Sony is advancing technology with BluRay, 3D, etc. and that's complacent? Microsoft is making deals to bring content to their platform (ala ESPN) that will draw in more people and that's complacent?
Out of touch with the modern gamer? WHAT THE FUCK DOES APPLE KNOW ABOUT GAMERS? They don't produce games themselves, and 3rd parties are JUST NOW putting *small indie games* on their platform, and all of a sudden Apple knows all about gamers, and the the other companies are "out of touch".
I see why people who have Macbooks, iPhones, and desktop Macs are so smug. They had to get their superiority complex from somewhere.
"They keep making games that they already made because they know they will sell, not because they will be challenging, creative, or fun"
I guess LBP is just nothing now. Uncharted and Gears (as new IPs when they came out) were nothing. I guess Fallout is nothing. I guess Assassin's Creed is nothing. Kinda hypocritical for a guy that says "I don't mind reboots, but new IPs need to come out" and so many of them have come out this generation. Unless by new IPs and experiences, he means a ton of small games like Plants vs. Zombies, instead of grand adventures like Final Fantasy XIII. And even still, Apple is beat, with so many of those types of games on PSN, XBLA, and WiiWare.
And the last point. "Do we really need a new Twisted Metal, Halo, etc?"
YES! Why? BECAUSE WE DEMANDED IT! New Twisted Metal is being made because GAMERS HAVE BEEN PANDERING OVER IT FOR YEARS! It's just like MvC3. The developers didn't just decide "oh after 10 years of not making a game in this franchise, I'm just going to out of the blue make it". It's because we, as gamers, have been asking over and over, and the developers simply want to give us what we want.
That last statement actually kills all his credibility. To say that Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo is out of touch with gamers, yet they brought games that have been demanded for years by gamers (new Donkey Kong, new Twisted Metal, etc)....well, you get my point.
Apple can suck my balls. Welcome to VG Chartz. A site for gamers, ran by gamers, and nowhere is Apple to be found at the foundation of this site
Edit: VGC won't change it from being a wall of text in the first couple of paragraphs. I've tried to separate the paragraphs, but its not working
