IndustryGamers - EA in 'Best Position,' Activision Has 'Challenging' Road Ahead.
"I think [the traditional games] industry is up for pretty significant changes. The companies that are not doing a good job of managing the transition will find themselves in a really difficult place. I think of all of the companies, Electronic Arts is doing the best job of managing the transition and I think other incumbents like Take Two/Rockstar, or Activision, or THQ, are doing a much, much worse job," Young noted.
Bitmob - Game journalists are not progressive in how they cover social gaming.
Let me ask you a few questions: When have you seen a mobile- or social-network game on the cover of a major game magazine? How many reviews or previews of said games do these magazines you read include? Lastly, how many articles have you read positing over the impact social-network and mobile games may have on the industry?
I would bet good money that the last question was the easiest to answer because it seems like every month in every issue of every game magazine there is the familiar "will mobile and social games kill the industry?" piece. It had been the subject of numerous sessions at gaming and developer conferences, and it appears on almost every gaming website with the regularity of the sun rising in the morning.
Doombreed - The death of the PC gaming scene by the Xbox 720 & PS4 generation.
Let me be clear. The PC is not dead. If you read that into this article then shame on you. You cannot replace the experience one receives on a personal computer with a console, yet. What you can arguably do is provide a better gaming experience. If the consoles continue on with their UI improvements, feature enhancements, content delivery systems, exclusive releases, massive generational hardware improvements, and maybe even incorporate a few of the features PC gamers keep holding onto for dear life… then I find myself in the position of questioning my PC gaming addiction when the console will likely provide even more at a smaller price.

Beamer wrote on Mar 22, 2011, 18:52: The Xbox could take virtually any PC when it was launched. I don't see why anyone would deny this. It's not a very meaningful bit of information because they're built to last 5 years. I'm not denying it, I have no idea about hardware specs. I just know when Oblivion came out I was playing it at roughly Xbox settings but at a much higher resolution, 1680x1050 I had at the time I believe. Same with Call of Duty 2, same with Quake 4 (actually Quake 4 ran like ass on Xbox I read).
So... if the Xbox wiped the floor with my PC, I find it odd I ran games at comparable or higher settings. The only game I remember giving me a hard time around then was Tomb Raider: Legend of all things. |
