The main issue that the video games have right now is that too many releases are expensive to make. In the past, it was cheaper to make video games, now these games are costing more than movies now.
So, what needs to happen? Well video games need to focus their ambitions. There needs to be a turn away from feature creep and towards making games more sustainable in here. Not every game needs to be trying to accomplish everything at once here.
Video Games need to really focus on being one thing first: That is, they need to be fun here. Once that task is complete, then we can talk about trying to add more depth to the game. However, too many game developers want to emphasize how complex a game is. They need to make sure it is in a playable state and also enjoyable. Complexity and creative ideas can then follow from that starting point here. The brass tacks of the playable experience have to be emphasized from the start not when the game rides on hype and then it has little to sustain its growth.
Not every game needs tons of voice actors.
Not every game needs photorealistic graphics.
What is needed is vision and good gameplay.
Many developers forget about this here. Some of it is the sheer amount of games that are released now. You have to find a way to stand out here. You need novelty more than before, more in gameplay than in graphics. However, gameplay that is novel for the sake of being novel isn’t always going to bring success for a game.
Money is an issue but people need to be more reasonable. A good game just needs effort and time and some money.
As always, good gameplay comes first before putting extra effort into other aspects of the game.
