It wasn’t until a year or so ago that the PS3 versions of games didn’t have tons of framerate issues.

But now that this gen is over I’m more inclined to believe that this gen was just not so great. Too much nonsense and drama this gen that overtook great game making. And the expense of game making pushed too many good studios into bankruptcy or into the arms of EA/Activision (there’s a marriage I hope never to see).

Maybe these are my own particular tastes talking, but I feel like the amount of quality RPGs released in a given gen is indicative of the health of the industry that gen. RPGs aren’t super main stream, but the demand for them by core gamers is fairly steady, I think. And if developers move away from producing them (or producing good ones) it’s because they’re focusing too much on the wrong crowd (fair weather casuals) or are afraid to invest the significant amount of money to produce a good RPG. Both are pretty bad indicators of the state of things.

This has been a very disappointing generation.
