How id Lost Its Crown

The Next Generation site has an editorial up by veteran animator Steve Bowler discussing the loss of prestige id has suffered, at least in his eyes, as a result of the latest incarnation of Doom. From the article: "But one day, the industry changed. The consumer changed. It's hard to put one's finger on it. Maybe it was Counter-Strike. Maybe Unreal Tournament. Something happened to the genre between Quake III and Doom 3, and Id somehow didn't take it into account. Call it braggadocio, or hubris, but Doom 3 is no longer the top dog in the FPS market. Yes, it's upsetting. I tried not to admit it either. But it's undeniably true."

Doom 3..

Doom III was a very dark game, not something the bright people in Capitalist America would find entertaining.

what do you mean FarCry 'missed out on the press."? All i heard about for awhile was FarCry. Frankly, i was getting sick of how good a game it was. I played it. I didnt like it.

Whats wrong with repetitive games?
