Forums - Microsoft - I have a big fear...

don't worry, you won't get eaten by the boogyman...oh wait, thats not your fear.


well i sure hope they don't make casual crap like animal crossing. stick to halo and gears of war please. and please get some new IP's. Halo will get old eventually just like Final Fantasy. Halo 13 won't nearly be as successful as Halo 3

its funny how you admit that in order to win, they have to steal ideas.

why not come up with something original?

you don't need to be scared about that. i think theres going to be a very spread out amount of casual games next gen, but watch out, because i think next gen is going to be annoying when it comes to hardcore games.

the way i see it, next gen graphics will be maxamized by all 3 companies. 90% of games will be on all 3 systems.

 

XBOX live was something original...

Or HDD's in consoles....

What I am really scared is if this casual crap works for MS and they start making billions in profit, then why the heck, from a business point would MS bother making games aimed at the hardcore audienece?

Halo 4 = HUGE profit

Microsoft will probably have enough casual stuff to compete with Nintendo, but will have just as much hardcore stuff as not if not more. Microsoft likely aims to win next gen, and they should get at least 30-45% market share imo. Microsoft has the resources and ingenuity to target both markets. All they have to do is steal Nintendo's casual ideas and refine them; it worked when they stole and refined Sony's already stolen and refined gaming ideas :D

keep dreaming on that 30 - 45%. If they get 15% this gen they should be greatful. but hey... even if they get 45% next gen they are still obviously not in 1st.

The dreamcast was first for online gaming on a console.

 

 Actually Genesis (somewhat with Sega channel) and Sega Saturn were...but who cares since no one gae shit about it back then.

My saturn played duke 3d, sega rally and bomberman online, surfed the web and got me on to online chat rooms where i met sexy ladies... what did your ps1 do?  :)

So you expect Sony to leave?

 

 what a silly response. There can be multiple outcomes than that.

Dude can you do Maths?

If they had 45% next gen that would mean 55% had to be split between Sony and Nintendo. Unless your suggesting either Nintendo or Sony would have 4% then 45% would be enough to win next gen I imagine

Nintendo's success is the best thing to happen to gaming since the so-called "hardcore" drove everyone else away ten years ago. Good gameplay is back, baby, and the gaming renaissance is upon us.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

Be the ultimate ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today! Poisson Village welcomes new players.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
