It does seem like the shortsightedness has at least generated a different shortsighted response, so we got change of some sort.

And the glass-eyed optimist would say that these remakes will remind everyone of better games and ways of making games so that new things like them get made. I mean, maybe!

This is where good art goes: either it remains small and niche, or it becomes big, mass-culture, and is consequently destroyed.

I cannot recommend Dialectic of Enlightenment by Horkheimer and Adorno enough. I’ve talked about it before, and now recommend it again.

Triple A games have become Hollywood like in the budget (and presentation) area, and now require a massive profit to justify themselves. Ergo every franchise has to be madeover to appeal to as wide a demographic as they can reach. And if you were a fan beforehand, well fuck you. That’s the attitude at least.

Honestly, I wonder how long this method of development will work. There’s very little in the way of new ideas, and (I hope) people will get tired of playing the same thing they played five years ago. But then look at the film industry. I dunno. I’m not very happy about where we’ve landed as a hobby.

I’m just glad glad Japan’s still out there throwing random crap at the walls to see what sticks.

Traitor.
