Lack of innovation in mobile games
Posted by pasta and vinegar." "I fully agree with Greg Costikiyan’s column in Gamasutra about mobile games. He claims that business models killed innovation, even though there are strong technological potential (presence-detection, lbs…). (…) mobile devices offered the opportunity to create a whole new category of media-poor but communication-rich games, quite unlike anything seen before. (…) Virtually all of the mobile games offered today are arcade game retreads, or inferior implementations of game styles that work better on other devices. No new game styles have proven popular; the mobile games industry is basically the same as the conventional industry, writ small. (…) if nothing changes, we have already lost the opportunity to create something novel and interesting in mobile games, and will be stuck, for all time to come, with a grindingly dull appendage to the conventional games industry, based almost entirely on licensed crap." |
