| oniyide said: @robzo100 I think they are viable for consoles now more than ever BECAUSE of those online services, and with these new motion controls people dont have to shell out stupid amounts of money for some bundle like we used to. Dead Space Extraction, Time Crisis Razing Storm adn HOD Overkill were some of the full fledged arcade shooters. Im still waiting for my damn Point Blank, rumor has it there will be a sequel to Overkill for PS3/Wii |
Well, yes those small online services are a good platform for those genres, but they in essence exasberate the problem. Because it downplays the legitimacy of those genres even more. I think most people view those services as a platform for games not good enough for in-store releases, and to an extent it's coming true precisely because that's how people are viewing that market. I just wish a AAA title was released on one of those networks to boost more AAA developers' faith in it, that way all games in that market are taken seriously.
Thanks for the tip on those games though. I may very well buy Dead Space to see what it's all about. I have always enjoyed House of the Dead games as well.
