Last week ResumePlay looked at the bad side of the violent video game issue, exploring who was to blame for the problems and overblown perceptions surrounding mature games. Heads rolled and no one was spared. But this week ResumePlay looks at the bright side, to see the silver lining in gamers' future.
These are the people and organizations that protect the game industry, combat ignorance and propaganda, and keep mature games out of kids' hands. The topic here is not whether violent games do or don't affect kids: ResumePlay is concerned with the game industry as a whole. So read on to see who's the champion of the gaming world, the heroes who deserve gamers' fanboyism and praise!
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
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.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
Of course someone from N4G would say that.
cool article, man
I like how Nintendo is one of the solutions :)
Nintendo is always a great choice for anyone to play.
I'll crack open the head of anyone who messes with my violent games!
