PC games don't require licensing which gives many people fits on console gaming. Games today are more advanced than when PC gaming started having HD games. HD has been on PC for years but Oblivion and Cryses quality graphics have not. However, when a console is touted for its graphics the message to third parties is clear, "produce graphically rich games or fail". Sure companies don't have to make a game with high production values. Xbox 360 and PS3 went for high production costs. The perception that the HD consoles brought along with it is killing gaming. or whatever you want to call it will be fine, it just needs to be the right people making those games. those guys are smart and more should follow their example. If they tried to make competition for Gears of War they would be bankrupt. 2D Boy made a bonafide hit with World of Goo. Those that can't shouldn't be there in the first place.Īnd there is always room for innovative, cheap games.
The big dogs will be fine, they can afford to compete at that level. They will be gone or will go to making handheld titles or cheaper, less risky games. Many of the fringe developers, people like Factor 5, obviously didn't have the resources to compete on the same level as Valve, Bungie, Infinity Ward, EA, etc. As I've said before this market will sort itself out. Instead of making those games, they probably should have made something less risky, made it multi-platform and if the new IP took off, THEN drop tens of millions in production on the next. Lair and Haze are the poster child for this and it was a bad decision, obviously. You don't bank your entire company on one game and one platform. The problem though really is people making poor decisions. If so, and being as the demo has been downloaded off of steam by tons of people, myself included, couldn't that make up a large percentage of the supposed pirates? They made the wrong choice, bottom line.Īnd in reference to the piracy rate, if they are just going off of sales vs how many people are online, can't you get online with the demo? I have it and I'm pretty sure there is an option to connect to the leaderboards even in the free demo. it's the manufacturers fault, not gas prices or a downturn economy. If a car manufacturer came out with a new SUV tomorrow that gets 8 miles per gallon, looks like ****, drives poorly and is mechanically unsound. When you make really bad games that cost a ton of money, and you banked your entire company on the wrong platform, that's the fault of the people running said company, not "HD Gaming". High production costs are fine as long as you are making a game like Gears of War, Galaxy, Zelda, Halo, Final Fantasy, Half Life, etc.
