Canceled Pandemic Wii title wanted to be 'The Next Big Thing'

Aug 1st 2009 12:54PM (Joystiq)
Most of you are missing the point. A Wii game that allows you to do some of the more outrageous GTA stuff that's kid friendly would probably be a better seller then most of the crap put out on any of the systems. I know most (if not all) of you guys commenting don't have kids, but as the game market expands and game fans continue to sku older (as of E3 Sony said the average PS3 fan is 30) it's not just about crap games for kids or great games for adults. This isn't all "grandma buys the cute box art", adults know the difference between a good game and junk, and they're getting just as picky about what they drop their money on for the kids as they do for themselves. I know most of my friends don't buy the same type stuff or at least as much of it as they used too because they can't play it with thier kids in the house. GTA, RE5, Dead Space, most of the stuff that comes out isn't kids friendly; and while I'm not suggesting it should be, it would be nice to have some fun games to play with my daughters or at least not have to wait until after they go to bed before I can turn them on. For an industry that has gotten this big but is struggling to take the next step, there are other elements in the decision making process then just graphics.
