Is the game industry running out of games to make?

E3 was very interesting this year but I expected more huge announcements besides Final Fantasy going to Xbox 360, and PlayStations Kill Zone Beta coming out later this year.  I guess I expected some new and original IP’s but yet only saw a few.  Don’t get me wrong there was so good looking stuff such as Gears of War 2, and Resistance 2 but is that what the industry is coming to sequels of the same games over and over?  It nice to have a sequel but how many times can you remake the same game over, and over and expect people to keep interest?  

 

Well let’s hope between now and Christmas that some good games come out besides just a rehash of that same old War World Two game, and that new prettier Madden!  I’m sure they will but lets hope for all gamers sake that it’s something new and fun.

That’s the way most game companies are getting to be. They don’t want to take risks so they keep making more and more of the tried and true money makers. Change a little here or there and hash out a new version of the same game.

Independent developers are going to change all that – give it time. They are the ones who can afford to take risks and try directions the bigger boys can’t try. The games may not look pretty but the big boys will take notice.
