My video game journey started on the Atari 2600. Almost unplayable by today’s standards, but it was all we had.
As I progressed through the various generations, each one blew me away.
The graphics, sounds and music, more complex game play mechanics. Then came the extensive replay factor turning a game you could play for hours into games that can be fun for weeks, month, even years later!
I wonder now what will blow the minds of the generation growing up on the Switch/Xbox series X/PS5 era.
I’m really hoping the developers are allowed to create wild and revolutionary experiences. I’m worried there’s too much concern about investors and not about the audience.
They deserve to feel that same sense of joy and wonder I had when the next line of consoles came out.
