Comment Its only 1st Party Games (Score 1) 58

I think we will start seeing less and less platform specific games that are exclusive. The only ones which will be exclusive will be first party titles - those developed by nintendo for the wii and ds, by sony for the ps3 and psp, and by microsoft for the xbox360. I think many third party titles will be headed to multiple platforms, since it can maximize revenues for the big companies, like EA. I think, however, we will continue to see a trend of games coming out as "exclusive" but being ported within a year, which is pretty common by the big guys like EA and Rockstar Games.

Are Game Industry Pros Failing To Fight for Freedom? 57

Gamasutra's most recent Question of the Week feature deals with the extremely quotable final speech given by Doug Lowenstein at D.I.C.E.. The article queries individuals within the games industry for their opinions on the 'freedom' that the industry allows itself, and its convictions on fighting for that freedom. The article prompted numerous, polarized comments. Many of them followed the gist of this Anonymous submission: "With regards to censorship the biggest worry for me is developers and publishers self-censoring and avoiding any kind of contentious issue or subject matter in case they offend anyone. Video games for me are a powerful medium capable of equaling the emotive and informative weight of cinema if used correctly, but they rarely are. If we refuse to tackle issues and remain purely a thing of fluff and fizz then interactive entertainment will never have the gravitas of its cousins."
