Fears

This is my 10 gaming fears for the future. Let's hope they don't come true.

Here goes:

1. EA buying out too many developers and “mainstreaming” all their games (just like they do now) what could result in lower game diversity.
2. Fallout 3 becoming more of a shooter than an actual RPG.
3. Uwe Boll making a movie adaptation of Zelda or Final Fantasy and the world ending.
4. Sony having a huge success with Playstation 3 (well, in the long run ;) ) and screwing up Playstaion 4 in the process (bad start, system too expensive).
5. Developers making games that require less and less thinking (already happening… thank you casual* gamers) – adventures, logic, tactic and puzzle games becoming niche products.
6. Silent Hill 5 being a total letdown killing the series in the process.
7. Someone making a game based on the Saw movies (DAMN! It happened).
8. Games becoming too dependant on internet connection.
9. Console games being released not finished properly and requiring patching for comfortable “usage” (like many PC games now) [ehm…Mistwalker…ehm].
10. “Sequelization” – developers too afraid to make original games because of costs of production.

I encourage you to post your own fears.

* - casual, meaning players who buy a game every 3 months, don't know what normal-mapping is and their biggest succes was getting to level 10 in Puzzle Quest (cool game by the way)
