He is actually kind of right. Games today aren't really introducing any new game play elements, especially when we are talking about FPS's. For the most part, you run around and shoot things. Engines like Crysis included elements like destroyable objects, but that really isn't a new element in game play, if you look at puzzle games, destroyable objects has been done before. They just did it in a way to make most, if not all objects affected by the surroundings.On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 1:41 AM, JC John Sese Cuneta <jcjohn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Target Market Grouping By Age/Generation: 1) 70s & 80s gamer generation 2) 90s gamer generation 3) Millenium gamer generation<snip>different tastes, for example, the Millenium gamer generation are mostly the eye-candy gamers.Do you have any basis for this claim, or is this just subtle bigotry bordering on misanthropy?

The only thing that can get better is the quality of the graphics. The best graphics we have when it comes to FOSS games is seen in Nexuiz, which is still outdated by todays games graphical standards. However, it is only outdated by about 5-8 years, which is pretty darn good for it being FOSS. However, showcasing that game to someone who spent their time and money on something like Crysis will result in them looking the other way (which, I have tried before).
The best thing to do in order to get more present day gamers interested in FOSS games is to educate them that game play is more important than added vertex shaders and realistic bump maps. However, this is rather hard to accomplish, especially when most gamers today will only play the games that their friends play.
This is why I suggested getting in with the cons and tournaments. This way, we would be educating the masses instead of the individual.
