I'm sick of buzz words.
I'm sick of games which jump on the band-wagon just for the sake of jumping on the band-wagon.
I'm all for games that can use these elements effectively. And some are out there.
But... Why are developers, and more specifically publishers, like dogs munching on an old corpse when it comes to sucking the blood out of any remotely successful gaming concept?
And to think my forum name is 'Concept'...
I'm ashamed of the name right now, especially when it comes to the context of videogaming.
Implementation is the stale bread folks. All we get is the occasional tasty bread crumb...
Will buzz-word concepts always rule the industry and turn the PR of the majority of games into nothing more than an extended 'high-concept aesthetic/gameplay list?
When I, or you, are sixty years old and rotting ever faster to our graves...
Will Stealth (tm) and Cel-Shading (tm) still be there, with company after company droning endlessly on about them???
Or, more interestingly, what's going to be the next-generation of buzz words?
... I'm sick of gaming stale bread being shoved down the industry's throat by the industry.
Maybe this thread should be called 'welcome to bulimia, gaming style'.
Endless regurgitation of washed out concepts.
That's what I'm sick of.
Aren't any of you?
