| Wii_R2_Hardcore said: That video posted above is great. Yeah, I agree. Arcade and casual are very similar. (The same?) |
Arcade and casual are clearly linked. There is some grey area between casual and hardcore. Codemaster is trying to hit this grey area with F1 2010; Not too casual yet not too hardcore either. It still will not be an arcade racer like Mk or NFS.
Red Dead Redemption is IMO also in this area, most of the gameplay was simple and easy that I felt a 8 year old could easily finish it yet it's not really an arcade nor as casual as Wii Sport.
PC leans more toward hardcore while consoles leans more to arcade/casual even with the same game. This was true even back in the days of NES. Silent Service was extremely easy (dumb down) on NES compared to the PC version. Airplanes can carry 30 plus bombs and 50 plus missiles on consoles flight games.
