this article actually said that no one would complain if top end games jumped up $10 in price. I SURE AS HELL WOULD! they also said no one cared that socom (misspelled in the article as "socum") navy seals was retailing for $60. i dont know about anyone else, but i wasnt happy about that! however, i accepted it b/c the box contained a headset for the game, which is useful and i would accept paying an extra $10 for that. also, as someone else above me pointed out, most new games have smaller packages and come with less stuff then games used to, thereby decreasing their production costs. socom, if you all remember, game in a significantly different package thany any other ps2 game i can think of. that also would increase the cost a little.
the article even said "people dont care about prices going up, game developers do." WHAT?! PEOPLE DONT CARE?! right, we would willingly shell out more money for no reason, but its the wonderful developers (read as "distributors", since i doubt the people who litterally develope the games have any say as to how much they cost) who are so good hearted that they want to keep prices down for us. RIIIIIGHHTTT.
no one wants to pay more! NO ONE! who the hell did this article interview? 10 year old boys who dont pay for their own games anyway?! "sure, id pay an extra bajillion dollars for the new pokemon game. my mommy buys it for me anyway."::as the child starts to pick his nose::
kingdom come could make an interesting game, if done right (maybe you could pick one of the lower neo-superheros to be, choose your side, etc). also, hell blazer could also be an interesting detective game. or the dark knight returns, play as the future batman. there were a few enemy arcs, fight past mutant soldiers to fight and defeat the mutant leader, get past police to fight the joker in the amusment park, then have the final showdown the big blue and stomp him silly.
whoa whoa whoa... i cant believe no one has mentioned the unholy ET and M&M atari game. not only was it blatant advertising, but the damned game was imposssible to play
