Peter Dille calls DS for kids in Engadget interview

[Virus_38]

Video games are ment to be enjoyed. As long as I enjoy the games, that is to say I enjoy them, I dont really give a **** what the target audience is, and further more calling something "gay" and then claiming that you are of the mature audience is quite ironic in my opinion. That is not really a direct attack on you, but rather a warning for your own benefit in life... Calling things you don't like "gay" is pretty immature.. Much more immature than playing Mario or Zelda (which are challenging, finely programmed games, are are partially responsible for what we expect our more "mature" platformers and adventure games look like.) Dont knock fun because a few of your buddies dont think its cool.


I would have to argue that the GTA series are quite innovative. Just because some ignorant people only seem to purchase the blood and gore games trying to be cool dosnt really mean you should knock a good game series.

GTA is a good game it's just that it gets kind of repetitive in my opinion. I guess a better example would be something like 50 cent bulletproof.

That guy is totally right, the DS is for kids and it's games are clearly aimed at a youth market. Sure, there's some exceptions, but not many. There's some kids games for the PSP. But the DS is a system made for 8 to 15 year olds.

Since when is Mario, Legend of Zelda, or any other games we've all grown up with are all kids games. I don't know many 8-15 year olds who can beat any of the older Mario games let alone some of the newer ones. Would you consider the Final Fantasy games as kid games?

GTA takes no skill to play except run, shoot, kill, drive, repeat. And those skills are hardly every used since auto lock is a big time helper in those games (many people use this, don't lie) and the driving aspect is rather terrible as well.
