So it’s time for the video game magnates of the world to congregate and smoke cigars in honor of making a killing off of a record-setting year. Yes yes, gentlemen, pat yourselves on the back and speculate about the future - wait, what:
“Israeli firm 3DV will be demonstrating its camera technology that can detect depth of movement. Gamers can swing an imaginary golf club or interact with a 3D world just by using their hands and arms and without the need for a controller.”
Oh my god you guys, be careful - remember?
(Also Striker from Burnout 3 is without a doubt cloned from this narrator)
“The conference also features a strong mobile gaming element. ‘We are seeing more and more big game companies take the space seriously. The sea change is that traditional game developers are less snarky about mobile and casual than they were because of the power of phones today.’”
I don’t give a damn how snarky you are about it - developers, you better understand how far you are behind actual portable consoles if you want to avoid creating lasting legacies based solely around parody sites again. I mean look at this.
I mean, you may succeed. That happens from time to time. Then again, even if you guys do manage to screw everything up by getting caught in a time warp back to bad ideas from the dark days of innovation, we can always count on the artists to turn it upside down and make something wonderful again. Keep giving us your best and worst, guys!
