My last column about the lack of innovation in games was very well-received. He's also made note of them a number of times in his .plan updates . Chris Will wrote in from sunny Sydney, Australia to say that he thinks all the gaming innovations have migrated to the consoles. I'm not all that familiar with what's available for the PlayStation and N64 these days, but the point is well taken.
Competition there does seem to be much tighter than in the PC arena.
Meaning that there is still a drive to be markedly different than the next guy. I don't know why this is. But it does seem like PC developers are more content to improve current concepts than create all-new ones. Perhaps it's the reliance on constantly evolving technology in comparison to the static platform of the consoles. These are opinion pieces.
