Over the past 10 years more than 12 consoles have been released that have had better specifications than there predecessors, as the market grows the games companies of today try harder and harder to created original ideas that will capture the heart of gamers around the world.
Nintendo had there most successful year last year, they much owe this to 151-250 little creatures that have keeped the company alive. These if you dont know are known as Pokemon.
With only 15 months to come before we will see every Next Generation Console available in the shops we should look at what we really are expecting from these machines.
There specs may be growing faster than Microsoft can create a new windows, and this could become a big problem into the 'Future Of Gaming',
no longer will us gamers who have been around see brilliant gameplay and excellent lastibility what we will receive from companies is Excellent Graphics and Brilliant Design. This will not make a good game, but hopefully as long as we the gamers still remain we can influence what will happen by becoming involved.
As long as Sega and Nintendo remain Gaming companies we will receive a classic a season, not because I hate Sony and Microsoft but because these are the only True Companies that know what we want.
I dont want a sequel,
I dont want amazing graphics
I dont want a pretty character.
I want a CLASSIC.
So all I can hope for within the GC and X-Box is a classic at launch, this is the vital ingredient for a console to survive.
Thanks for reading
er-no
I dont think the GC's launch is going to be bad!
Mario 64 was the ONLY game you could buy at launch in Japan! I don't think they recovered from that.
Mario64 and Goldeneye
The problem the N64 was that these games were so Class, so good that all the other people programming for the N64 got scared as their games would be second rate compared to these must own titles.
The playstation only really had Wipeout, and F1. infact if it wasnt for Psygnosis Sony would have put on a poor launch!
> hey allow it!
Yeah whatever.
