I really wanted to get my own word out on this topic, if it makes you angry or offends you in any way, well hey I'd love to hear your opinion either way.
My own thoughts on this industry is quite a mix during these days, I'm not going to talk about the business portion of this, rather personal feeling of a gamer. I am a bit disappointed with most of the developers, of course the huge successful ones have had their certain key pathways to get their projects out, but that's going into business so I'm going to move away from that and say that, we are seriously running out of ideas. I see that independent companies have more chance of producing original/creative games, I think we need a change in the industry. It's starting to look like developers are just wanting to get their hands on engines such as Unreal Engine 3, ect ect. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything much against these engines we build our games on BUT, it has been coming out a bit too repetitive, wipes that excitement for a new game off my face (this is me though). No I am not bashing first-person shooters, I just don't like how that is what we fall to, if it's not the game play being in first person, it's being built from an engine who's star game WAS in first person, and it's becoming boring, samey. dull (again this is me). When I speak of these things I speak for the whole gaming industry. not for RPG fanboys just so you know. I have other opinions about this topic but I don't want to continue it here, if you must scream at me, message me. Anywho, this is my word on the industry of today, take care now-bye bye then. =)
