I'm glad, if this is true, they learned their lesson from the horrid PS3 launch price. Now I just hope they got great launch games

Hah, I remember those Crash Bandicoot commercials. Those were awesome

Best GS show is back!

BUT DAMN IT DANNY, I WANT FALLOUT

I feel like it would have been a bit better with a rear touch pad like the vita. The front seems intrusive for me, but we'll see how it goes

@PsychoChick966 The article's not really saying that gaming should only evolve into more 'mature' games, but rather, noting that other developers are taking this approach and it may add some credibility as a medium.

You can still play browser games and simple games and still have fun, there's nothing wrong with that, but there is a niche being created here that was never here before and that's what the article's all about.

@Gr3gSolidus @raweewat Not necessarily, but you can definitely see the motif of the American Dream in GTA 4, and at this point, it's really better than nothing

I really doubt people can deny that some devs have begun to treat games as almost like a form of literature, which is great and fantastic and it is exactly where the medium needs to go at this point, however, the biggest problems doesn't lie with the devs, but with the audience.

Many gamers are still childish (even though the average gamer is around 30) and still treat gaming as something to kill time, or something that doesn't need much thought as opposed to something they can actually take something away from. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but one can tell how close-minded many gamers are, and you can see that for yourself with GS's Feedbackula, let alone hop onto a CoD lobby and experience the immaturity first-hand.

I'm glad the industry is growing up, I just wish the ones they market to, would.

One game that I played that tried exploring this theme combining it with work-related monotony and rather nailing it on the head quite nicely is a flash game called 'Everyday the Same Dream'.

I recommend it to anyone who loves appreciates the simplicity of a flash game with interesting mechanics and an interest in the human condition

Then they do the game that feels incomplete with frame rate problems, glitches, plot holes, unfinished quests and blame it on dev time

Called it

At least the games aren't nearly as bad as the show

But thats not saying much
