Going Back To Basics
From its inception back in the early 50’s and 60’s, video games have always been a means of entertainment and enjoyment for all the users and consumers who purchase them. However, over the past 20 years, video games have become all about graphics and sound, not about fun. With the new “7th” Generation of video games and systems already underway, developers are trying to get back to the basics of fun and enjoyment for all players.
Even with the flashy graphics and almost-realistic sound quality we will be receiving in this next generation of video games, companies are trying to draw back their fans from previous eras with games and concepts developed for the entire family. With all the excitement around the Blu-Ray technology and online multiplayer action, some consoles have forgotten about their older and original fans and are trying to focus on current generations. If you forget about the original fans, then you forget about the legacy of video games. This is something that some companies are currently trying to salvage.
