Scott is right...?
November 29th 2003, 08:40 CET by Matt Perkins According to this website, Scott Miller knew Max Payne would be a success before the game was ever made... He lists out a lot of points on that website...that may or may not be a part of the success of Max Payne. My question is this... • Is this a true method for success, has Scott worked out a guarenteed formula where no one else could? • Or this is 20/20 hindsight? Is this just what Mr. Miller thinks made the game successful now that he is looking back? And will we know the answer before his next planned success? |

The PSP will be bad for the industry. Really bad. Wow. I wish I knew The Whole Truth™ with 100% certainty, and, in addition to that, had The Talent™ to bring My Vision™ to The Teeming Uneducated Masses™ as capital-A Art using allegory and upskirt shots as my vehicle for understanding. --crash |

Because the GBA is the last platform where a few developers can make a quality game, on a small budget. Sony is adding 3d to the mix, which basically means that even handheld games will now take a large team and a large budget to make. The fact that games require large teams and budgets is exactly what is wrong with the industry as is. Wow. I wish I knew The Whole Truth™ with 100% certainty, and, in addition to that, had The Talent™ to bring My Vision™ to The Teeming Uneducated Masses™ as capital-A Art using allegory and upskirt shots as my vehicle for understanding. --crash |

#79 Scott Miller I hope you're right. From 3DR's perspective, it helps us to have MS succeed, especially over Nintendo which has *always* being stupidly developer unfriendly, and too kid oriented (a big reason they've lost market share, as gamers are growing up). That's like saying that a car manufacturer should only make luxury cars, because car owners are growing up. More than a third of children aged five or six play video games regularly (according to the National Literacy Trust). Nintendo is remembering that their profits will come from parents who see the bright colors and child themes and buy their games rather than snagging a copy of GTA3. Their image is cute, cuddly, and child-safe. It's also cheap. It's a good image to have in a world where video games are demonized in the news on a daily basis.

#90 And that a lot of gamers (such as myself) enjoy the nostalgia of these games... I also fully agree with charles in #88. I hope the psp fails - and fails hard, because portable games don't need to be complicated 3D multifeature things imo... *sigh*

#73 by Charles Except that bleeding is a part of the console business. Every manufacturer loses on hardware. MS has the highest attachment rate of all the consoles. Do you know what that means? It means that as the number of xboxes (or xbox 2s) in homes increase, their return on it will increase as well. Or it simply means it hasn't gone over well with the more mainstream audiences who buy much less stuff. Those attachment rates will very likely drop like a rock if it ever does get into more homes. Not at all surprising it'd have more 'hardcore' audience with MS pushing Live in every ad and the lack of game series that make up the bulk of the mainstream's purchases. |

A bit related: I've been replaying duke nukem 3D using the new windows ports that have been done recently, and to 3DRealms credit: I still enjoy it as mutch as I did when it was first released. Wow, I never even realized they released the source. Finally... I've been waiting for a windows port. "Dream of me... and maybe, just maybe, this nightmare will end."

I'm still confused as to why the PSP has anything higher than 2 channel audio. The five percent nation of harmful free radicals

>>> Not to mention the fact that the 'kid-centric' nintendo games are actually fun! *gasp* Someone needs to tell buyers. And while it's obviously true that the kid market is perpetually renewing itself, it's the adult market that's grown to domination . Kids represent a range from 4 to 15-ish, that's 12 years. The meat of the adult gamer range spans between 16 and 40-ish -- 24 years. And the adult gamer population is the demographic with the money, and is constantly growing as we all age. Nintendo is falling behind, even though they're aware of the problem and have tried to include more adult oriented games like RE Zero. "One of the most difficult tasks people can perform, however much others may despise it, is the invention of good games..." -- C.G. Jung

#97 Scott Miller >>> Not to mention the fact that the 'kid-centric' nintendo games are actually fun! *gasp* Kids represent a range from 4 to 15-ish, that's 12 years. The meat of the adult gamer range spans between 16 and 40-ish -- 24 years. And the adult gamer population is the demographic with the money, and is constantly growing as we all age. So then, gamers don't have kids? I assure you that the 24 year demographic is the same demographic that's purchasing the games for the younger audience. When's the last time you talked to a 12 year old with $50 on tap when a game comes out? While it may be less profitable, that doesn't mean it's not profitable. For Nintendo to start exclusively targeting a flooded market would be little but folly. Better that they keep churning out record profits for their handheld than to waste money trying to get older gamers to make a change in their ingrained habits.

I misread, I guess, the post by Scott about marketing Max Payne. If the afore mentioned marketing tips are just a part of the process, then maybe it does drastically up the odds of success. I still have some problem that the article seems to say this is a guarantee (until the very end where the whole mood of the post changes). Having not created/produced/marketed/etc a successful game, I can't claim to know... These marketing tips just seemed to be presented as a bit too sure fire and after the fact. Could just be me. Side Note: thx morn. we luv you. and I love everyone. I'm the spoon

I did forget to confirm Bailey's post that he successfully marketed this topic. Even though no one liked it, it got voted in... I'm the spoon

I was hoping this topic would have been accidentally deleted during the downtime. Curses! "It was fucking RPGotY, fucker!"

Well, just submitted a topic, but it's not showing in the bin. Morn? By this time tomorrow we can be doing BODY SHOTS off HOOKERS in some MEXICAN HELLHOLE
|

Okay never mind, I'm retarded. "Gee," thinks crash, "odd that there isn't a preview function on the submission bin. Guess I'll just type it in a post and keep previewing it until I like it, then copy and paste." Of course, maybe if I read the instructions on the page, I'd have known that it isn't "done" until you hit "Submit," and you can edit it as much as you like before that. I'm going to go beat my head on an unyielding object now. By this time tomorrow we can be doing BODY SHOTS off HOOKERS in some MEXICAN HELLHOLE

Sorry crash I didn't know you had written one already. Honest, I was just trying to fill the void. |
