As I said in the topic, The next generation of gaming is coming. The 360 has come, with the Revolution and PS3 coming soon. This means improved graphics and hopefully better games. The cost of games has increased greatly. This will make it harder for small companies to make games, thus killing most originality. It will mean big companies will make even more of the percent of games they currently do, not wanting to risk anything by doing something original.
But, the cost will hopefully mean companies will take more time to polish their games, instead of rushing them. But to get more on topic, all of the next generation systems have different features to appeal to gamers. The 360 has amazing online play, the Revolution has most of Nintendo's classic games available for download, and PS3 has amazing graphics and looks like it will have some very good games as well. With all this, does this mean PC gaming will die?
I don't think it will, as most gamers are console and PC gamers. PC was the reason we have games. Everyone has played some sort of game on PC, whether it is flash games, games like Hearts, or of course as we know them games like F.E.A.R. and World of Warcraft. But PC gaming will take a hit, due to some of their big hitters going over to consoles as well. Unreal Tournament 2007 will be on PS3 and perhaps even the 360.
Cost of games to be made effect the cost of games. Most of the 360's games cost $60, making it harder to afford multiple games at once. Younger gamers will learn the meaning of saving money do to this. Next gen will be a good lesson to all.
