In term of genre, the variety you show in this list game is great. But for someone that loved Heavy Rain (my choice lol), where are the other games in the genre ? For lots of games you've shown, that's one of the very few attempt in the genre. Does even every specific genre put together compete with fps in term of number of game ? I'm not talking about if it's better than Nintendo, just I didn't feel I had a lot of variety if it's just for a game here and there. And please add Valkyria Chronicle in your list next time ;) |
It's the same on Nintendo's side. They release only a few of each genre of games every generations. And sometime, they even skip a gen. Where was the Mario Sports games on the Wii? Wii Sports wasn't really a good replacement for Super Mario Strikers, was it? And what about StarFox?
There sure are genres that are way more represented in the industry. But when people say that the PS and XBox consoles only offer FPSs and racers, it just tells me that they're looking at the libraries with horse blinders. There are many RPGs, Platformers, adventure games, puzzle games, etc, on those. FPS is just the genre that gets some of the most attention. Because that's still the genre that a majority of gamers craves most, sadly enough.
Note: Yeah, I forgot about the gem that Valkyria Chronicles is. ^_-
