Mark Rein Knocks Intel, Episodes [Jul 12, 2006, 9:42 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Epic's Mark Rein Intel is killing PC Gaming on Joystiq reflects the opinion
the Epic VP expressed to the Develop
Conference in Brighton that moves by Intel, in particular the promotion of
integrated graphics on the motherboard, are hurting PC gaming.
Epic VP: Intel
is killing PC gaming! Ars Not really is an article offering an alternate
opinion, which is probably not the last editorial that will be written on this
topic. During his keynote address Rein also had
an episode about episodic gaming, calling it "a broken business." According
to the report, Rein's remarks met with some heckling from the audience, accusing
him of being a "dinosaur" and "self-serving."
I'd remind you that when Ep1 was released, there were a LOT of comments that it's pretty much exactly the same as HL2 is. It's just a few new levels put together. Same art, same weapons, same puzzles.
Yet you won't find too many people, other than the vocal minority, that didn't like Ep1. Most people really enjoyed it, and it was worth the $20 to them. Most people don't look for innovation with every game that comes out, especially when the existing dynamics of the game already works. Ep2 has already been stated to have new environments, weapons, enemies, and engine upgrades. This should satisfy those that require these things and put the bitching on these topics to rest, at least if only for a short time.
