I feel as though the games industry has kind of put a pause on games progression. Take shenmue for example, a game that is 10 years old. Yet how many games have we seen since that compare?. I think that is a direction that needs to be re opened, Or are we all just to dumbed down and need FPS, GTA and racers? Dont get me wrong, i love cod4, gran turismo and gta but we need more diversity of genres. I for one think that games that play more like movies e.g shenmue,yakuza, heavy rain are the key to bringing in people that wouldnt normally play a video game. Nintendos approach of extremely simple party games I feel may not hurt gaming as an industry but I feel it hurts it as an artform and takes gaming back to the days of pacman and pong. I also think we need more solid and new IPs, take rockstar for example, its main IP is GTA. I feel also that there are not enough platformers these days, I cut my teeth on Sonic the hedgehog on mastersystem, then Crash bandicoot on PS1. Now it seems most platformers are bargain basement movie tie ins or bad cases of reinventing the wheel, which is the reason every sonic since sonic adventure hasnt quite stuck. What is wrong with a well developed solid platformer like crash bandicoot 3?.
The PS3 is amazing at media streaming. I can plonk it next to any TV in my house and simply use windows media player to stream any Divx,Xvid Avi,Mpeg4 etc to that TV really efficiently and easily. I havent even used the blu ray feature. Same goes for streaming music, it is great for house parties if for example you want to play all of those MP3s that are stored on your PC hdd in your living room hooked up to a 5.1 again you can simply use the PS3, hit shuffle and have a nice visualization on your TV play also. Really is great. Also you can use PS3 to watch BBC iPlayer, Youtube and ahem ahem others :). I havent had experience with the 360 in media sharing but I doubt that it is as effective as the PS3, and nor does it have wireless as standard. PS3 wins.
