I noticed something the other day about Fable. I was talking to some gurl gamers I know and they were all like, "Fable is sucha game for girls". It's shiny, it's easy, and it's really pretty. And I was like, man I didn't even think of that. No wonder girls play WoW too. Sony must lose a lot of demographic without those shiny pretty graphics. Sony is probably the biggest offender in terms of brown and bloom. Thinking about it again, Halo is super colorful as well, to the point of awkwardness almost. Hordes are sometimes a rainbow cascade of warfare. etc etc Sony really does not to look at being pretty again. They need better artistic direction. Oh man...yaknow, I love brown and bloom and could never understand why people used it as a negative, but I totally see now why that is. Games on PS are just too gritty. It's almost like their games are stuck in the 90s.......hmmmm |
Remember guys, these are VIDEO games. The video aspect is a very important part, and many people are much more visually oriented in their selection of games. I am one. If music or artistic direction is not appealing to me, I will not want it. It's great to make a game you like, but as Activision says you need to create a relationship with your customers and build the games they want, not the games you want (as a dev). (Rol, are you typing for me? :D)
