*gasps* I wanna be FOBD’d too!!!!! XD Can’t wait to see how this venture turns out! I really do hope for The Path to be successful. This is definitely something I’ve been anticipating for a long time.

Here’s another, related column by a Dutch journalist, rejoicing in the fact that so many different kinds of people are playing games nowadays. But calling hardcore gamers and games journalists dinosaurs waiting for a meteor to hit them, since they consistently rate these “new games” badly while giving the old school hardcore games high scores. In Dutch.

I’m very happy to hear that, I think the gaming world is certainly changing alot and it’s nice to play a game (like TEF) which is just relaxing and the player dosn’t have to shoot every single thing that moves. It’s about time more work was put into making games that everyone would enjoy not just the “intense gamers”. Let’s just hope this keeps going eh?

It would be nice to play a new game and have a new experience. I suppose thats why I enjoy TEF so much; I log on and I have no idea what I’m going to be doing, or what I’m going to see. That makes me happy. I do enough grinding at work.

Or can the money vs creativity issue be explained by US versus European developers? EA Partners’ Nick Button-Brown apparently thinks so. It’s really interesting to see the publishers become the ones asking for innovation! That’s a world I want to see: where publishers push developers to explore further and deeper instead of always having to hold back.
