With the normalization of platforms comes the normalization of genres and the target audience.
There's also a sterilization of games' aesthetics which makes most of them look and sound very similar IMO.
I was referring to stuff such as Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed.Quote:

What? There's room for every game as long as they are properly budgeted. You can't do "Bio-Hazard Battle 2" with the budget of Gears of War since that is lunacy and will obviously flop. That is the real problem of many games, they're overreaching and trying to be "big".Quote:

Very unprofessional for a "company" to leave a comment like that about a YouTuber.
I just don't know. The VCS is a scam and Sega seems content to let AtGames make crappy clone consoles. Sega knows the pain of a console that sold well enough and still couldn't pay the bills.
sega made a ton of money on the megadrive.Quote:

This is simply not true and would sound false in exact same way back in 8 bit and 16 bit era...Quote:

It's not about "normalization" whatever that means and there's no coloration between that and "target audience". I assume your opinion comes from mixing the currently popular genres/platforms/mechanics and age range i.e. The Mass Product, with the video game industry as a whole and that's just simply wrong. It's like saying that all movies look and sound same because of a CGI... again wrong.
It's mostly about the tech/hardware mediums... and games don't look similar that's for sure... they differ from each other just like they did 5 10 20 years ago. To put it simple, video game industry is ZEN times bigger than it was back in the time u refer to. In fact it's the 3rd biggest industry in U.S.A. So the Game development is more accessible today, pretty much anyone can make a game, so the chances of getting a low quality content are higher... but the high quality stuff is also there and grows with exact same pace.
