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”.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
It's all about the iOS for me.
I just think iOS games need more depth and they'd be better. Just saying.
I like Beau's comment on the article about the possibility of IBM making a gaming console. I think it would excel in the gaming world since they put out so much hardware. Hell, even the Wii and the WiiU has IBM parts in it. Why not it's own gaming system?
Imagine I-phone 5-6 (to provide more power and 5g network) being launched with an entire line of inexpensive video out devices with well designed/costomizable user interfaces.
Walk into the house, quick sinc phone with tv or monitor, and start playing games, surfing web, browsing through cable/netflix content, hooking up to any kind of service like steam, on-live, app stores, looking a pics n home movies from phone, social networks, shopping, etc- right on the big screen using ur phone as the controller/remote.
Plus no more need for land line internet or cable boxes or any of that crap(comes from phone).
Better yet these devices could be disigned to let multiple phones sinc for multiplayer type experiences. Then when it's time to go just walk away, the display of content shifts back to the phone and your on your way.
This is what the Wii-U wants to be but isn't because Nintendo can't merge its portable and home business model without losing a shit ton of cash. But Apple (along with others) can and will do this, or something similar :-)
I would love to continue my game from console to handheld but I wouldn't want it to be handheld and no console or cloud or what ever other way that allows me to play it on my tv..
