New golden age of gaming

New golden age of gaming is a term that has various meanings depending on context, recognised by Collegium. Collegium is, to say the least, cyberpositive, so our tendency is to take the video game culture meaning of this as chief, as opposed to e.g. card gaming (which we have no tie to, as it were).Collegatus.
"Many things have changed this gen that IMO has started put us on the verge or we are in the very beginning of a new golden age in gaming. There was a 3-year period where I didn't play a game I'd rate an 8/10 or higher. Obviously some of that is from not being able to literally play every game. However, I believe a large percentage of that is from how homogenized the AAA gaming market has become. Every game has to be open world. Every melee system has to be Arkham's combat (even Uncharted 3). Every 3rd-person shooter had to be basically Gears. Every FPS had to basically be COD. Genres like survivor horror were too niche to be developed for AAAs. Every publisher wanted every game to appeal to everyone while the PS3/360 gen squeezed out that middle area between indie and AAA, much like how JRPGs were sorta designated to portables."

"A new Golden Age in gaming. Unironically I declare we are in the midst of a new Golden Age. The lineup of hitter titles last year is insane, with each genre getting multiple 9+ games. The technology is finally at a place where games are starting to come out quicker, and games that have been worked on for 5 plus years are finally entering the light. These games coming out are also gorgeous. Consumers are starting to vote with their wallets (battlefront 2, anthem, metal gear survive) VR on the horizon. And if you didnt know, Japan is KILLING it right now with quality content. Also worth mentioning that the Sony CEO just stepped down and is being replaced by the CFO, who hates Sony pictures and sees gaming as the most promising area for future development. Then you got Microsoft trying to buy valve and EA to close in on their own exclusives. Another war is brewing, and we will probably see some great games come out of it! Tl:dr. Fuck yea games"
--- Posted byu/th3l0vesack 2 years ago 13 CommentsThere has been talk for a while of gaming being about to enter a "golden age."A glimpse of that came to Worcester in 2019 when the annual "Shine Super Smash Bros. Competition" was held at the DCU Convention Center for the first time, with thousands of people in attendance. For the final matches between elite players, the stream racked up more than 10 million unique views.That was just esports, and pre-pandemic. The unknowing might just have shrugged.However, "I think it (gaming) was entering a golden age," said Timothy Loew, executive director of Massachusetts Digital Games Institute (MassDiGI) based at Becker College.
