Are you like me? Do you yearn for American games to reach the diversity of other American mass media, like, for example, movies? Right now I can go to a movie theatre and see a quirky indie comedy about a dysfunctional family, or a ridiculous action epic about snakes (that happen to be on a plane), or a screwball comedy about NASCAR racers and baby Jesus, or a documentary about global warming, or a terrible animated film about farm animals, etc. etc. Heck, all in the same day, if I was crazy and cheap!
The thing is, while it's really easy for me to sit here and implore all game developers to try new things (yay blogging!) — and, to be fair, many developers are, like Telltale Games, Keita Takahashi, the Xbox Live Arcade, etc. — I have to wonder: are there simply not enough gamers, non 15-year-old male gamers I guess, to financially support new and different gaming styles?
Okami
September 5th — Everything I've seen about this game has me excited. The Zelda-like gameplay. The incredible art direction and woodblock-print visuals. The plot — being a wolf god who restores light and beauty back to a world devoid of color. (Instead of, say, being a dude and shooting zombie flame alien rocket gun skull heart ghosts, again.) Okami looks like it may be one of the best video games of the year — and when you can only play maybe 4 or 5 of those, tops, that's a pretty exciting prospect indeed. I really look forward to this game.
