This is not as simple as old vs new.Its about the state of game development.Theres good and bad old and new games.The difference is there no natural selection today.The bad isnt dying its multiplying.An industry where innovation thrived is stagnant.

"Lets do what their doing,but there doing what we are doing".Its like 2 mimes dancing.

Mostly what im saying applys to those who like RPGs and strategy.If you like FPS and TPS then good for you you are in the golden age of gaming.I like those and a little of everything.I view the problem as everything has turned into that small segment and stagnated.Fallout,elder scrolls,mass effect the new "RPGs" they might as well call them Gears of War 4,5,and 6.As Al gore's supporters say"Ive been disenfranchised".I want a recount on this game development.

It started as guys in garages who loved gaming made games.Many failed and the best are what shaped gaming.I remember you couldnt have games that used the same mechanics you always had to have something new to stand out.Then gaming got bigger and turned into companys,then CEOs from Doritos and pepsi came in to run sheet.They looked at charts at the meeting and said"that Call of Duty thing,there really doing some business.Lets make our game like that,so we can get in on that"."I know what Im talking about I use to run pizza hut".

So now every other game uses unreal3 engine,if the game actually lets you play and doesnt play itself,the camera will be right behind your head with 1-3 options of height,right stick looks around,and there will be 3-4 icons in a corner reminding you what the buttons do like ocarina of time.Rather the character im moving around is called Mario,Captain Sheperd,Enzio,Markus Fenix,or Link theres just so many times I can play THIS game before i say I GET IT lets try something new.

TC you should check out Kingdom Rush on Kongregate.Its a simple tower defense,but develishly clever and cool graphics that enhance its fun gameplay.Beware you may blink and it will be dawn outside.
