| CaptainExplosion said: I've noticed that, possibly due to the influx of mobile gaming and improvements in console gaming, the video arcade scene seems to have almost withered away. What should be done to revive people's interest in video arcades? Do developers need to experiment with new technologies for gaming? Make games that are more attractive to today's consumers? New kinds of games not seen before? What are your thoughts on the matter? |
Casinos. Make arcade games pay out for high-scores and challenging gameplay - especially for tournament play.
As it is, you'll spend somewhere between 25 cents to 2 dollars to play an arcade game these days. That's fun enough to play maybe once - but when the stakes are raised that you can win $100, $500, or more to clear the most difficult parts of a game - this gets really interesting and you want to play more. What makes arcades awesome is when you can witness a really skilled player take on something no one else could. Arcade tournament play would be really fun as well.
Considering how droll most slot machines are, this should be really easy to do.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
