My two cents, after buying the last PC gaming mag and getting depressed reading it, particularly the bits about shorter and shorter SP campaigns, linear levels, dumbed down gameplay, cheap rip-offs from blockbuster movies, and more sloppiness horrors, is that those that actually neglect hardcore gamers on all platforms are a significant part of 3rd party evelopers and publishers... Luckily both many Sony, MS and Ninty 1st parties and some 3rd parties too are still able to deliver deeper games, but what too many really aren't able to learn from Nintendo is that simple and immediatedly playable by casuals hasn't to mean "shallow". As XB360 relies more on 3rd parties, while Sony and Ninty have more 1st parties, it's obvious that 3rd parties doing so worries more XB360 hardcores. |
At this point it may look disappointing but they will not make that hugh of a mistake. If so then they will realize they made the wrong choice in the next gen. I'm sure they got mounds of hate mail pouring in and they are not over looking all of it.
Not only that but Kingdoms shows that they didn't totally put all there eggs in the kinect basket. Most but at that point they did need kinect to succeed. So the right balance needs to happen. People complain about not enough games for kinect and then hardcore. I think they will find the middle ground. People here just over react.
