What the internet explosion of the past 10 years has done is give idiots a louder voice than ever before. Everything sucks, everything is doomed based on 5 minutes on the market, there are no games for consoles not even 3 months old and so on, so on, so freaking on.
Is it so damn hard for people to understand that you can't change a whole industry over night based on NO demand.
What are people buying right now? Call of Duty and the same games they've bought before.
Are people actually asking for something else? No. They are asking for games. Games they've played before, games that are true and tested, games they enjoy. You do not innovate for the sake of innovation, just to say that you did.
You want different games? Define "different" then, because at the moment all I'm hearing is whining about how everything is the same...but no other solution is actually given.
This is how last gen worked as well.
People started liking games without health bars...it became a norm, for better or for worse.
People started liking stream lined experiences...it became the norm, for better or for worse.
People started liking social integration of their games...it became the norm, for better or for worse.
People started liking online multiplayer games...it became the norm, for better or for worse.
People started liking "cinematic" experiences...those became the norm, for better or for worse.
Everything that came as changes over the PS2 / Gamecube / XBox era has been gradual and driven by demand, came as small changes that got popular later on and nobody agrees on whether they're good changes or bad ones.
And in today's landscape everything is considered as being doomed. We have more ways to play than ever before, more models to playing, more indie titles and the Big 3 trying to outdo each other at every turn.
What the Hell more do the idiots of the internet want? The Playstation 9? For me it's become something absolutely Sci-Fi what these overgrown man children have come to expect.
