I can only think of Heavy rain developed by Quantic Dream that will hit an HD console. I'm pretty sure there won't be more then 10 adventure games this generation on a HD console. Gameplay has a second place in this genre and storyline is the focus of the adventure genre. It's obvious that gamers want good gameplay rather than storyline. Storyline will only be more important when gameplay has become so realistic that it can't improve anymore. This can only happen when you can touch a virtual environment. |
On the upside, Wii is really giving a decent chance to the adventure genre. Because of the Wiimote, PC Adventure developers are porting their Point&Click games to Wii, for a bit more cash-in.
With the Digital Distribution, small developers are making alot more money on PC than before, so Adventure genre is going through a "Silver Age" right now. But I'm really hoping the Wii make help also with the genre, with a few of them already porting to the console.
