@Imperial: Read my post above yours...
We've seen this happen throughout the history of the games market. At one time single screen games were all the rage. Then we got side scrolling games which killed all the single screen games and the fans of those games cried out. After that we got 3d games which were and still are very clunky compared to 2d games. 3d games killed off the big 2d games.
The list continues on of things that WERE big and STOPPED being big. The market is ever changing. |
A shift from 2d to 3d games is completley different from a shift from Gears Of War to Carnival Games , don't put those two things in the same category . We're talking about a shift in the nature of games as opposed to the development and evolution of gaming. This is change we're talking about not development. Shifting from Gears of War to Carnival Games/Mario Kart will effectivley kill any interest I have in console gaming , I don't care how many copies it sells , who likes it and so on . All I care is that my GTA's , Killzones remain on the Playstation and the growth of the casual gaming market is threatening that, developers may no longer see making games I like as viable an option as they did previously. And what's your poit anyway ? that change is a good or beneficial thing ? in many cases it is however when that means eliminating quality,blockbuster titles in place of shovelware low budged titles I think change in this situation pretty much sucks.
