SMB3 & SM64 are so old, and from such different gaming markets I don't even know why you have brought them up. When games are looking to show human emotions, why do you think people still want basic platformers?

Why do you assume that everyone wants the same thing out of games that you do?


It's just the market. When you have billions of people, yet selling only a few million games, clearly they want something else.

So you're saying people want something other than God of War, Heavy Rain, LIttleBigPlanet, Uncharted, as well. That's a bold point of view.


Games like LBP will always have a place as super casual solo or party games, but things like GoW, Uncharted etc will slowly disappear and Heavy Rain style games will replace them. Yes, a bold claim, but I base this on what has happend with all media. As the Quantic Dream guy said at the PS4 conference, games can now mature to the level of seeing emotions, and this is essentially the move film went from black and white to technicolour. We will progress from Attack of the 50 foot woman to The Godfather, and this will of course cause the target audience to dramatically increase in size.

I think games can be fun without having amazing graphics.  While I love the more modern games that I can play on my PS3 vs. my Wii, I still enjoy playing some games with very simple graphics.  Some of the games that I have burned hours playing on the iPad are literally have visible pixels.  It's about the creative game play experience.


Yes and no. Some games don't need graphics, others need it to help with the immersion, and others need the power to supply the advanced game mechanics. However I will confidently say that the best games will have very good graphics (and yes, I'm still waiting for them to be released).
