General SEGA Discussion / Re: Mie Kumagai (Virtua Tennis) first original mobile game!

« Last post by Radrappy on Today at 07:29:56 pm »

So your saying a new platform doesn't have the decades worth of trial and errors that arcade gaming has? I can bring up plenty of really shitty early arcade games from the 80's, plenty of crap. Heaps of it. I think this whole comparasion isn't even fair considering how long arcade gaming has been around. I will say one thing, it has gotten worse (arcade gaming) over time while Mobile is at least improving.

Tho in the end of the day I rather SEGA just drop arcade and focus on PC/Consoles/Mobile. In the end its all about who gets to play your experiences, not what is nostaglic (aka a dead scene like arcade gaming).

I agree that mobile has plenty of time to grow and evolve as a platform, that's very fair.  But as it is, arcade games have a fruitful legacy on their side while mobile games have nothing but baggage at this point.  Hence the outrage of a well known arcade developer switching to mobile.

Yeah, those are great games that came out over a decade ago... how that have anything to do with now? I'm confused.

Because it has to do with how people feel about arcade games vs mobile games?  I don't know if you know this but mobile games have a terrible reputation while arcade games represent the halcyon of people's youth gaming wise.  This whole discussion started from someone saying "I don't understand why mobile games get flack compared to arcade games." 

So thats my point, why would I want a great game designer make a mobile style game (which arcade games basically are now) when they can just make it on damn mobile (or console) for millions of more consumers?

Ok well this is a COMPLETELY different argument.  Obviously if you lump console games with mobile games you've created a completely different landscape than what we've been previously discussing.  Me and mademan are saying "fuck mobile games" not "we hope everything stays on arcades forever."

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown.

It came out on consoles within the last three years. What point are you trying to make anyway? I know arcade games aren't as popular as mobile games.

I said in Arcades. You say that arcade gaming is better yet you haven't even played an arcade in years, the games you bring up as 'amazing' are over a decade old. That's my point. You don't know the situation with arcade gaming and what it is now. Yet you are quick to argue about what it is in your eyes.

You guys know that House of the Dead, Crazy Taxi, Daytona USA all came out in the 90's right? Some of the best arcade games of all time and the golden age for arcades... Yeah, those are great games that came out over a decade ago... how that have anything to do with now? I'm confused.

Saying that you like arcade games and bringing up titles that came out 15 years ago is a bit weird, its almost like non of you guys really go to arcades *gasp*. I wonder why...

So thats my point, why would I want a great game designer make a mobile style game (which arcade games basically are now) when they can just make it on damn mobile (or console) for millions of more consumers?

I think we all agree that mobile phone games are a more profitable venture than arcade machines.

Stop liking what I don't like - The thread.

I don't know where things got off track but I thought we were discussing why mobile games have a much poorer reputation than arcade games.

I've already explained multiple times why I don't like Mobile Phone games, I think they are very valid reasons.

Radrappy and I have also made several points about how arcade machines are different to most mobile games.
