Disruption 2.0. We’ll focus on the next disruptions that will happen in the video game industry. In the past couple of years, social games with virtual goods business models have proved themselves and shaken up the status quo. The iPhone has become a hot platform, and Apple hopes to extend further into games with the iPad. Digital distribution and online games are growing. Will these trends gather more momentum and prove to be sustainable, or will new platforms and business models disrupt the disruptors? The big game companies and brands are maneuvering into the market, even as successful startups are consolidating their gains and acquiring companies. Are console game makers poised to make a comeback as the recession ends? As growth returns to the industry in 2010, who will be poised to take market share and define the next-generation of games?
This game is great. My favorite part was when you took on the role of Russian Private Dimitri Petrenko. You and Sergeant Resnov played dead, had a crazy firefight, crawled through a flamethrowered building, an epic sniper battle, and assassinated a Nazi VIP. And that’s just the first mission.
Street Fighter IV is being ported to the iPhone, and it looks great. I’m excited to see what other games could be scaled down for mobile devices…
Hilarious youtube comment on the best video game weapon ever
Torque bow on GoW2!!! You can get headshots and make people explode. Your target also have to deal with a dart on them or in their ass before they die!
So you want to make a game?
Congratulations and welcome. You’ve just joined a growing community of social change. educational, and cultural institutions who see the potential of digital games to engage people and inspire change in thought and action.
It took me about 8 hours to beat Killzone 2. The enemy AI doesn’t play around although aiming is not as smooth as I would have hoped it to be. The environment and gameplay are top notch. And while the game appeals with a fascist-militaristic theme, it’s story still missed the mark, it’s not nearly as compelling as the game’s other elements. The mohawk on our hero was an interesting touch.
