MaydaX Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The increasingly negative, argumentative attitudes of many gamers and critics is stifling creativity and discouraging developers from taking risks with their games, so says Call of Duty: Black Ops developer Treyarch. Speaking in an interview with NowGamer, community manager Josh Olin cited the troubling trend as the biggest problem the industry faces today. "Personally, as a community manager who lives in the media or social media world every day, I think the social culture of video games is moving in a more negative direction as technology and social media continues to grow," Olin explained. "Rather than growing with it, the trend seems to be devolving. More and more gamers seem to forget what this industry is all about. "It's a creative industry – the most creative form of entertainment in existence," he continued. "Too many developers who try new things are getting burned by 'pundits' and angry entitled fans who look to be contrarian, sometimes simply for the sake of being contrarian. "The only thing this attitude aims to achieve is stunt that creativity and innovation even further, which is something that no rational gamer looking to be entertained would want to do." Fair point? Harmonious, generous-of-spirit readers of Eurogamer, you decide. Of course, Treyarch knows what it's talking about when it comes to disgruntled gamers. There has been plenty of mud slung in its direction recently over the current state of Black Ops on PlayStation 3. Maybe the First Strike DLC pack, out today, will help smooth things over. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-01-treyarch-angry-gamers-stifle-creativity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

injuneer Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 wow. Developer shoves something out untested to catch the holiday sales window, then gets mad at negitive press? And what has been totally mind-blowingly creative in the last 2 CODs? They still run on DX9 ffs. Gamers don't get mad a something truly creative. They get pissed off when their games are stripped down, dumbed down, reskinned ports that cost more and more every release. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a i5 2500K with a 460GTX and my fps isn't much better on Win7 and it still studders with major fps drops. But I'm not installing XP to prove that one game is poorly optimized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everson Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 To be honest I hope OFT pulls them up on it and starts to force them to finish games off to an acceptable level, i.e. COD4. The UK government at-least is starting to recognise the value of the gaming industry and wants to get behind it but they're not going to be able to do that effectively while developers and distributors keep trying to pass rubbish off as top quality games. Any country refusing to allow the game to be sold is a big thing and that's a proven PR disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not installing XP to prove that one game is poorly optimized. i7 920, 12GB DDR3, 7x64 ult and a HD5770 and i get them as well. and tbh why would they bother to support XP at this late date? lazy? if i am running 7, anyone half serious at gaming is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams were colluding, hence the other team didn't quit. http://twitter.com/#!/JD_2020/status/42404003358846976 Seems they also got reset http://www.battlestrats.com/_/general-news/500-kills-in-black-ops-gets-player-banned-r683 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
