WITH THE RISE OF MINE CRAFT THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY HAS FOUND AN UNEXPECTED CROSSROAD!
THE INDIE GAME DEVELOPER NOW HAS LOTS OF VALID PROOF THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO GO AAA TO BE A SUCCESS!
IN FACT THAT SUCCESS HAS BEEN SO GREAT THAT SOME CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE!
HOWEVER! HULK FEARS THE AAA MAY BE TAKING THEIR SUCCESS AS SOMETHING MORE THEN WHAT IT TRULY IS!
AAA HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO MOVE FORWARD! FEARING A COLLAPSE OF THEIR SYSTEM!
THEY SPEND HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THEIR AAA TITLE ONLY TO RECEIVE A LESS THEN STELLAR GRADING FROM THEIR AUDIENCE! THUS IMPACTING SALES, AND SENDING COMPANIES INTO THE RED!
AT THIS POINT COMPANIES LIKE EA , THQ, AND CAPCOM WILL TRY ANYTHING TO KEEP AFLOAT!
EVEN IF IT MEANS TRYING IDEAS THAT THEY ORIGINALLY THOUGHT WERE STUPID, OR NOT WORTH THE INVESTMENT BECAUSE A PUNY INDIE DEVELOPER CAME UP WITH THE IDEA! BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY SCIENCE TO PROVE IT!!
THE REASON WHY INDIE TITLES HAVE WORKED ARE BECAUSE OF A FEW KEY CHARACTERISTICS ALL WORKING IN UNISON! HARDCORE INDIE FANS BELIEVE THE BEST YEARS OF THE GAMING INDUSTRY WERE BACK IN THE 80'S AND 90'S ! THAT NOSTALGIA IS WHAT THEY SEEK, AND WHY SOME OF THE GAMING AUDIENCE IS ATTRACTED!
THE SECOND FACTOR IS HOW THEY HANDLE THAT NOSTALGIA! SOME MAY ONLY MIMIC WHAT OTHERS HAVE PERFECTED WHILE A TRUE REVOLUTIONARY WILL ADD ON TO THE IDEA! AND IN FACT TAKE SOME RISKS! ( WORLD MAKERS)
THE THIRD FACTOR IS MORE OF A HULK PERSONAL BELIEF! INDIE TITLES ALWAYS HAVE A TYPE OF FLAIR! THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE MUCH SPARKLE TO THEM, BUT THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING GOOD GOING ON!
BASED ON AAA TITLES REACTION, HULK HAS TO SAY AAA ARE HOPING TO GIMMICK-FY THE INDIE SCENE!
THEY WANT TO COPY IT SO PERFECTLY THAT THEY DON'T CARE WHO'S TOES GET SMASHED! AS LONG AS PROFITS STAY OUT OF THE RED!
USUALLY THESE GAMES ARE TERRIBLE!
IF AAA TRULY WISHES TO LEARN A LESSON FROM THE INDIE... THEN THEY NEED TO FOCUS MORE OF THAT SWEET SWEET CASH INTO NEW CREATIVE/ RISKY MANEUVERS!
( ALSO DOESN'T HURT TO RELEASE GAMES THAT AREN'T BROKEN/ FULL OF BUGS! YOU COULDN'T DO THAT6 YEARS AGO SO WHY THE F**** ARE YOU DOING IT NOW!?!)
AS LONG AS YOUR MINDSET IS FOCUSED ON SUPPOSED " SURE HITS" YOU WONT SUCCEED AT CAPTIVATING THE INDUSTRY! THAT MIND SET! THAT IGNORANCE! IS USUALLY THE FIRST THING THAT PISSES OFF HULK!
AND SINCE HULK IS A MUCH MORE TOLERANT INDIVIDUAL..... HULK CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW OTHER GAMERS FEEL!
