Peripherals: The problem with the gaming industry

August 03, 2009 in Blog comments 4

It seems as though many games now are peripheral based, from Guitar Hero, to Tony Hawk Ride, every genre seems to have their own plastic device, here's an argument against this growing trend in the gaming industry

    Very good article/rant. I'd have to say that Activison seem to keep making amazing games and then making crap where people HAVE to buy them.

    Modern Warfare Prestige Edition for an extra $50?!
    All the instruments for GH5 for about $200?!

    I just hope they don't inspire other people. I'd rather just have a console and a collection of games rather than tat.

    I personally do not mind the Guitar Hero preipherals though what i dislike is that every so often you have to buy them again as they add features to the instruments that the new games take advantage of. I hate every other peripheral though i was gonna buy RIDE but i am not paying £120 for a skateboarding game regardless of how good the controller is.

      Besides, I can skateboard myself.

    Personally . . . None of this bothers me because I don't play any games that require me to buy some expensive peripheral! To me it'd be a waste of money and ridiculous to think of.

    I've got plenty of games I can enjoy without those things!
