Gaming has changed a lot since the NES days. And I’m not just talking about the graphics, sound or even 3D environments. I’m referring to how the industry as a whole reshaped. Tutorials, micro-transactions, achievements, making the game more accessible to everyone etc… All that stuff, plus more, has transformed the industry. I’m not complaining, nor do I think video games are worse now then back in the 80s.
One modder produced an unofficial, modern-day take on the Game Gear.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.

You would have had to pay $5.99 for the konami code as in game dlc.
Haha I got a good laugh from the pictures. Especially Neal Anderson from the bears on Tecmo Super Bowl. That dude always got hurt.
gaming would have died 30 years ago. just like it is now.
