[Audyssey] Target audience was side stroller game

2007-04-16 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Niko,
First, I'd just like to point out that Phil's message was just a joke.
Second, the purpose of my initial email was to find out what the target 
audience wants to play. As it happens the target market isn't sighted 
teens or young adults, but blind gamers of any age.
Third, you clearly mentioned you are ateen. As such your opinion is 
important because it announces to me what teens are interrested in 
today, but it doesn't speak for those of us who are in an older age group.
Keep in mind your teen friends might considder me an old fart, because I 
am 30 years old anhd grew up playing Packman, Galaxian, Mario Brothers, 
Double Dragon, long before all this Grand Theft Audo, Resident Evil, etc 
games existed or was even imagined.
Since I am older than you and have different values and ideas about 
games should be I don't have any interest in games that deal with gang 
warfare, oor committing crimes like selling drugs, raping people, or 
robbing people, etc.
Bottom line I want to have games that has some reasonable values, and I 
can't take pleasure in a game where you joina gang and carry out gang 
related stuff. There is nothing good or clean about it.
A game like Monkey Business apeals to me for exactly the reason it is 
clean entertainment and I don't have to do anything in the game that 
goes against my own personal values and beliefs.
Forth, this is clearly my own personal view, but as I get older I have 
to wonder what society is teaching our children through tv, radio,  and 
games. No a gamer playing Grand Theft Audo might not go out and do it, 
but it does say something about your conscience. If you can actively do 
it in a game then in a ssilent way you are saying doing those things is ok.
