No 3rd party games for Wii in 2010? I think not.

Actually 2009 was a breakout year for 3rd parties. There were more great 3rd party games than the whole previous 2 years combined: 2.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
Tiger Woods PGA 10

As much as people like to talk about video games as art, no one is going to dump millions of $ into art. Video games are an investment with an expected return profit. It's a business. If you know beyond any doubt a HD brown and bloom infested semi-competent FPS is going to sell, guess what you're getting every 2 weeks?

For as much as 3rd parties cry like little bitches with skinned knees about how games don't sell on the Wii they haven't put out a grand total of 2 good game between the whole lot of them. RE:UC worked so now we have a billion rail shooters, WiiSports blew gaming wide open, so yes we're going to have a million minigame collections.

Video game makers are not artistic or visionary people--they're talented monkeys dancing for the marketing department. If anything, this generation has proven at least that much. Sure, it's entertainment, but so is masturbation.

I for one don't care if the Wii keeps the reputation that games don't sell on it, make a good game and I'll buy it, but don't think calling your festering pile of worthless shit game something like a "guided first person experience" makes it anything more than a festering pile of worthless shit.

Agreed.

Fairly often on this forum, I hear people wonder if some unreleased game or peripheral is going to work well. Usually the response back is something like, "Developers are creative people, they'll think of something."

Then I think to myself, no they are not. The vast majority of people in any industry are just playing follow the leader. When I started gaming, the big fad was mascot platformers. Right now, it is FPS.

There are few, truly creative people who can shake things up. Most everyone else just try to refine what is already there.
