Please dont just disagree for the sake of disagreeing or ask me for clarification.. pretty unexpected type of reply coming from you bro. |
I see you didn't read my post, then, which ended with "does not compute" to give you an opportunity to explain yourself. Pretty unexpected coming from you.
(I mean, I saw the rest of your post, which is why it made so little sense that you were clumping games like Street Fighter into one group)
But regardless, I see your point now, and holy shit I couldn't disagree more. Once a genre has been done once, it should never be attempted by anyone else ever again? God no.
Competition is how this industry grew to be what it is today. If only the original creators of every genre were attempting to better their own games, then we'd never get any progression. They could just sit on their ideas forever because no-one else would be pushing them to try any harder.
A good foundation is that eternally. Another company trying to make something better doesn't make the original foundation any less good. But maybe, just maybe, they might improve on it. Perhaps they won't! But if they do, then it's better for everyone to have variety; choice and an evolving industry.
And I'm not saying innovation is bad. But I think that innovation for the sake of innovation is just... silly. Things should evolve because it's natural, not because they're forced to.
