Know your video gaming roots..., NFS and GTA series'... Options

[blu94gt]

Ok so I've been reading some random things online and some of it bugs me. Even the game review writers are being ignorant about some of the facts and histories of games.

I hope you all know that Need for Speed Underground wasn't the first Need for Speed right? It's actually like the 7th, and the origin of the series was to make a fairly realistic game rather than an arcade-style one. And that the 3 PS2 Grand Theft Auto games were each based off of a city in the original GTA?

all pretty trivial stuff but it just bugs me that people don't know some of this stuff

Game companies kinda went bankrupt because games werent selling well, and believe it or not were loosing intrest from custemers, but wen nintendo came out with there nes and mario 1, the video game market boomed, thats what i heard on g4's icons hehe

It was just a matter of time before a company introduced a new system. People love new things and nintendo was it. They just filled a void. They didn't start a revolution.

LOL I'm not a NAZI, just trying to inform you.

loosing=losing
intrest=interest
custemers=customers
wen=when

It's OK english must be your second language. I understand.

But no one cares about spell checking when it comes to forums, its not like im writing a report or anything..... And yes it was a matter of time before someone would introduce a console, and nintendo was it, nobody seen anything like super mario bro. 1, it was fresh and obviously made a huge impact on game developers influences.... therefore sparking a new generation of games thus revolutionizing.....

LOL you missed the point. It didn't matter who it was that introduced the next system. The foundation that had been laid by Nintendo's predecessors was rock solid. The decline was due to a lack of new systems and games. You can only do so much with old technology.

How do you impact an influece?
You can impact a developer but their influence is all their own.

How do you kinda go bankrupt?
either you are or you aren't.

No, the founation was weak because the atari 2600 was a bust. People were throwing those things away because no one wanted them. You couldn't even pay someone to take it. They rounded up millions of cartridges and blew them up in the desert. I know that sounds dumb, but it's true. The industry was dead until Nintendo and Mario came out. They single-handedly revitalized the industry and made it what it is today. Sega had the Master System, but it only had like 5% market share. I still think the Commodore 64 rules, because it was the first 8-bit computer ever and it came out in the early 80's, long before the NES.

Thats what im trying to say, thanks BlackSTX, ok ok maybe they didnt revolutionize, but what BlackSTX said about revitalizing that market is dead on, thanks to Nintendo games are what they are today, you could sort of say their the godfathers of video games.

and for my grammer, i post after work, and im tired and i work outside in the hot weather, so bare with me
