| He is absolutely right in one thing, its graphics and combat/fighting that are driving games now, not story. I kept hearing all these people rave about Mass Effect and Assassins Creed, when I finally played them I thought they were ok story wise, nothing exceptional and not a real "smooth" story experience (I also liked GTA4 but same feeling). Most of the people I talk to playing MMOs view quest text as something to skip through as fast as possible.
Sam and Max were pretty good, but other than that nothing really gamewise that really made me laugh like a movie or TV show would, or like Monkey Island or Leisure Suite Larry or Space Quest or the half dozen other old classics.
The publishers he's meeting are also probably right that a pure adventure game wouldn't sell very well in todays market, which is sad. Hope someone does pick up his game and its a great game, I'd definitely buy a copy. |
