[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Fussbett"] but when customers start asking "Why should I upgrade?"[/quote] Because developers will start making all their games for the next gen console because it's the NEXT BIG THING<sup>TM</sup> until no games are released for the older console (just like EVERY OTHER SINGLE TIME a new console has been released), forcing customers to buy the next console if they want to keep playing the latest games. [/quote] Forcing the customer to buy a new $300 console + $50 games for ever diminishing graphic/gameplay returns is exactly the problem I was talking about. We're not talking about bleeding edge "GOTTA HAVE THE NEWEST NO MATTER WHAT" people, we're talking about the normal people who make up the meaty 124% of the game buying public. [quote][quote]Here's my answer if I spoke with my heart: THE DEATH OF LINEARITY. Missions, choose-your-own-adventure plot unraveling, jumping through the designers' hoops. All gone. Players love sandbox games, and with games like EverQuest, The Sims, and GTA3 we've only seen the very beginning of what can be done in that respect.[/quote] What the fuck? Is this FoK posting from inside Binro's belly? Sandbox games? Fuck your sandbox games. My friend's cat just shat in your fucking sandbox. Your solution to a gaming recession is more Everquest games and The Fucking Sims add-on packs? FUCK[/quote] "...with games like EverQuest, The Sims, and GTA3 <font color="red"><b>we've only seen the very beginning of what can be done</b></font> in that respect." Yeah, clearly I'm talking about a Sims add-on pack. Troll.[/quote]
