I see gaming is still wallowing in nostalgia...smh

as it is now, nostalgia is the lifeblood of the industry. not bleeding edge tech, not breaking new ground, but replaying shyt we've already played, desperately clutching onto the past..

this year's E3 was a festival of dreams, with sony being the puppet master, but playing FFVll remake won't make you feel like its 1997 again. shenmue lll won't be a groundbreaking experience like the original was.

embrace new experiences, embrace VR. celebrate the past but learn to let some of this old shyt go. but I suppose that's too much to ask of gamers
