5/19/2023 0 Comments Games like camelot unchainedGames like Hearthstone are coming to the iPhone in early 2015, and are already available on iPad and Android tablets. I’ve seen some amazing things on the iPhone and Tablet. My faith in mobile gaming has increased this year. We shall see what 2015 brings the indie devs. Horrible ones like Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, and a few with the jury still out like Shroud of the Avatar. Great ones like The Repopulation and Camelot Unchained. Kickstarter has given rise to many opportunities. Everything from Divinity: Original Sin to Shovel Knight. Lots of good indie titles came out in 2014. Indie game dev or big publisher dev, you’re both accountable to the players. You can’t screw people (early access) then walk away from a project. You can’t make crappy games and get away with it. Indie games are now more prevalent, and in my eyes no longer get a free pass. Remember when Indie games were like the under dogs and had unquestionable support from everyone? I think that’s starting to fade. I’m excited at the prospects of playing console games with Graev! Indie Games I even received my very own Wii U for Christmas (thanks Santa!) and will soon get a PS4 as well. We had games like Dark Souls 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros, and several more. The year for console gaming seemed fairly good. For now, this model blew up in the face of 2014 gamers. Maybe we’ll revisit this one in 2015 when the half-dozen already announced games with early access open their doors. Could the idea still work if handled ethically and with the player’s best interests at heart? I think so. I’m torn on whether or not early access is inherently evil or simply executed poorly. We the ever-impatient gamers buy ourselves into the ability to play sooner, and it all snowballed from there. ![]() This has actually gone from being a neat way to build hype and mutated into a business model. Oh the joys of whatever you want to call this crap. Pre-Early-Alpha-Restricted-Unfinished-Half-Assed-Access We should hopefully see this sometime early 2015. ![]() Perhaps it may mutate into some type of MMO hybrid.
