Too Much Rehash in Video Games
Cordova, TN; December 31, in the year of our Lord 2015--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is acknowledging the reality that there is
too much rehash in video games. Too many companies in the video
game industry are like a school of fish or a herd of buffalo.
They see something works and they make their own clone. Then
when something sells they make a sequel. What is even worse is
the companies that re-release the same games on systems that
come later. Why should we pay a second time for a Super NES game
on the Wii U? Why not just play it on a Super Nintendo? Concepts
like backwards compatibility are dying out slowly to the greed
of too many companies.
At least a remastered video game is updated in a variety of
areas. But at its core it is still a form of rehash. Albeit one
gamers will not lash out against as violently. Too many video
game companies make minor updates to their sequels. The progress
has slowed down to a crawl. Watching it here from Family
Friendly Gaming is like watching a snail move along. Too often
these games are too predictable. Anyone out there coming up with
unique and interesting ideas to write about? Or are we stuck
with formulas to what some suit finds successful? Family
Friendly Gaming has provided hundreds of unique ideas companies
could work with. Future Glimpses could be made into a video
game. If there was only some company willing to do something
different.
Mojang did something different with Minecraft. They were sold
for 2.5 billion dollars. Minecraft created an entirely new genre
for the video game industry. That is growth. That is what gamers
want - something unique. So many game developers like to brag
they are brilliant. Time to prove it. Time to show up. Time to
back up the words. Come up with something new and unique. Do we
need LittleBigPlanet 4? Do we need Forza Motorsport 6? Do we
need Mario Party 11? Another comfortable experience that baby
steps us into mild improvements. Or do we want something unique,
interesting, diverse, and new? There are plenty of stories in
the Holy Bible that could be made into video games. Seek
inspiration from the Holy Bible.
It is no wonder so many families, and so many gamers are getting
into retro gaming. They missed fun, cool, and original ideas
from back in the day. Why play the rehash when they can play the
original? It is also no wonder some game developers are making
retro styled video games. Things like a first person perspective
on the Atari 2600, or new games on the Atari Jaguar. Why can’t
we have new video games on the Sega Genesis? Or Sega Dreamcast?
Why not some cool new Nintendo 64 video games? I am trying to
expand the industry, and expand the minds of those stuck in the
same old rehash. Think outside the box. I am amazed at how
Christian game developers are constantly thinking outside the
box. I wish the industry would be more supportive of their
innovative ideas.
God bless,
