| Gaming & Innovation @ Gamespot |
|
Gamespot has posted part one of an interesting article about innovation and gaming. Somewhat akin to how many feel about today's movies, the author laments the fact that most games are either sequels, trendy copies (how many WWII shooters are floating around these days?) or by-products of already existing games. <blockquote><em>In the gaming industry, nobody's more concerned with what's best for business than the analysts. But now even they are complaining of a lack of innovation in games. Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter has been bemoaning the lack of innovation in the industry for years, and earlier this month pointed to the lack of originality in this year's heavily hyped holiday lineups as a reason for this season's industry-wide slump.</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>"Inovation's dead," Pachter laments. "Dying. Every once in a while, somebody will slip something in that will shock us, but for the most part there's no money in innovation, even if it's great."</em></blockquote> The article contains a lot of information from industry insiders and is definitely worth the read.
