I may just watch the YouTube Videos.
Diablo really scarred me with that last iteration.
The game went from easy to difficult to 'WHY CANT I KILL ANYTHING AT ALL EVER IN EVER"

Not to mention numerous server glitches etc.

He has a point though Wyatt. MMO's are a valuable part of the Gamer community. I see basically the same people who play MMO's playing them over and over.
However. I believe MMO's to be the CRACK COCAINE variant of gaming. Seen MMO"s Destroy lives. And often, there are people who once they've gotten off of an MMO (Like me) don't go back onto it because of the tremendous timesuck it is.

But for games like MMO's which require internet access. Putting the data on the cloud makes sense..

I mean, i would shit bricks if I had to go onto the internet to play the newest zelda or tekken or otherwise unneccessary thing i.e. SimCity

Ole Talk / State of Gaming 2013
« on: June 11, 2013, 09:55:49 AM »
I think it's necessary to do this once a year. To really keep tabs on where the hell gaming is going/has been/has developed. *This is my 2c

First off I believe there are generally 3 kinds of gamers 4 if you count magical unicorn girl gamers (jk ladies)

Young Gamer
- I gave these guys a category because there are gamers who don't have control of what they can/can't consume. Kids who've got to rely on momndad to purchase console/pc/games etc. A massive part of the Gaming market.

Casual Gamer - These gamers spend a couple hours a day max playing games on any platform: Mobile, PC, Console. My definition of a Casual gamer is someone that for them, gaming is not their main form of entertainment.

Hardcore Gamer - A Gamer for whom gaming is their main form of entertainment, couple hours a day minimum.


Graphics - We've reached a stage where cutting edge graphics are so damn good, even 'major' improvements come across as small achievements. e.g. noticing the difference between 100,000 and 200,000 polygons. Our eye can only really tell so much of a difference. So much so that we've seen a return to more cartoonish styles of graphics.

Franchises - I think, much like hollywood, we are being subjected to relatively the same types of games as we are movies. Remakes of old games, a refresh of a series (fifa/cod/etc). With a burgeoning but still very small group of indie game houses that are producing some fresh, innovative content I can't help but think that the very thing that makes them awesome, is what they will lose by becoming too successful.

e.g. when it's 4 guys in a garage coding out a fun interactive game and they hit 500million downloads.. now all of a sudden they are a big business with bills to pay and to me, the bigger a corporation, the less innovation we see in their franchises.
e.g. EA etc.


Storyline - As Gaming is becoming more and more social/online I've been seeing less and less games with compelling storylines. Those that do have some storyline are often hailed as fantastic games. TBH how many of you knew battlefield 3 had a singleplayer? For years before I ever played it I thought it was only a multiplayer game.
Storyline is one of those things that can make a good indie game, a firetrucking brilliant cult classic

Gameplay - seeing as Graphics are so close to the bleeding edge, and when it comes down to it, an FPS is an FPS.
I see the real kicker being the innovation of extra dynamics, e.g. shell shock in FPS, Explodable buildings (as we've seen before) they are making things more and more realistic with each iteration.
MMO's are the future, not MMORPGS but MMO in general, people want to interact on a grand scale.

Everything is Online, EVERYTHING. With it Comes DRM to help safeguard profits and provide a great distribution system.

I think in all, Gaming is undergoing a revolution. there is a serious move towards indie developers being a viable source for new gaming concepts and innovation (Oculus rift, handful of kickstarter gaming projects). Whereas we see the Big Studios who still create the mainstream appeal but their offerings become slimmer and slimmer each year. The Gaming industry is growing, with the rise of mobile gamers who use games to fill a void (taking a poop, waiting in line, on the bus/train.) The new micropayments system which help ensure a games longevity. E.g. Dota, 'basically' free to play yet I'm sure they rake in millions each month with the small cosmetic items available in the store.


*DISCLAIMER*
I urge you guys not to get into that discussion here. This is meant to be a state of the industry. not a debate about whether it's good or not.
